WHAT is YOUR CHILD LEARNING?

Much of child's earliest educatlon'
often the most valuable and most en-
during part, is that which is uncon-
sciously acquired at home, not by pre-
cept or teaching, but by imitation.
From the earliest beginnings OF learn
ing the child is copying the sights and
sounds about him.
Thus he learns to speak his hrst
words and from this time until ne pc
gins his formal education in school,
and indeed through his entire child
hood, he is initiating the language,
manners and emotions of the older
people about him. His behavior and
opinions are undoubtedly to some eX-
tent the direct result of this copying
of his elders. He will repeat the
tricks of speech and manner which
they constantly employ.
If a child lives among people whose
language is correct and agreeable,
whose manners are pleasant, who
show always thoughtful considera-
ton for others and whose behavior is
gentle and kindly he unconsclously
acquires similar ways. The habit OF
courtesy comes not alone nor chiefly
from direct instruction, but from 1ml-
| tation. If a child sees that his elders
are habitually courteous in their asso-
citation with each other, if kindness
and consideration for each other are
| the habits of the home, these qualities
will inevitably stamp themselves upon
the child. Good manners are an in
valuable asset to- every person, Dut
good manners have their root and
foundation in fine, qualities of mind
and heart, and only the constant daily
exercise of them will help give the
children that charm of manner which
is such delight in persons of every
age. The opposite qualities are like
wise initiated and help to produce an
! other sort of child.
Clearly, therefore, parents have ar
| enormous responsibility in moldlns
and shaping child into the kind Of
man he is to be,Ifor these early les
sons in conduct and manners are prob
ably never quite eradicated. Men who
as children were accustomed to hear
ing uncouth language still lapse il
manhood into this fault, however wei
educated they may have become, ant
j the same is true of physical manner
i isms and even of the mental attitude
If child grows up among people who
are scolding, fault finding, complaining
or auarrelsome, he is almost sure tt
show tendency to these qualities
| however much he may learn to abhol
/ them in later life.
