Training Little Children

I beneficent power who incites them
TO their predetermined ends"
1t is because we mothers have
felt perhaps dimly and unconscious
ly the lesson which the Pat-a-cake
play teaches of dependence on one
another. and the gratitude each owes
to all. that we have played this lit
tie game from ancient times.
start to play pat-a-cake with my
baby when ne is six months old. 1t
affords him great satisfaction TO
exercise his arms and to direct his
movements so that both little dim
pied hands meet together. When he
| is about Is months or two years old,
L begin to show him the picture of
pat-a-cake found in Froebers
Mother Play" Through this means,
/ gradually and easily lead him 10
| see that for his bread he owes
thanks not only to his mother, to the
baker. the miller, the farmer. but
also and most Of all to the Heaven
| ly Father, who through the instru-
mentalities of dew and rain, sun
shine and darkness. winter and sum-
mer, causes the earth to bring forth
the grain"
1t is only after having studied the
picture thoroughly and read the
: chapter on pat-a-cake in the Mot
| toes and Commentaries" and COM
mitted TO memory the verses and
tune in the Songs and Music" Of
J Froebels Mother Play" that l am
ready TO teach pat-a-cake TO my
4 baby, and as / have shown, I do
not teach it all at once. but refer 10
ii again and again, perhaps when
We are out working in the garden on
a sunny day, or in the house watch
ing the rain. When my child is old
enough TO be interested in such
things. we go into a bakery shop
7 and, to the establishment OF the
baker ask il we may see his ovens.
We often pass a mill and 1 tell my
child that this is the place where
the farmer brings his grain. Thus
the lesson OF pat-a-cake goes on for
a long time after It is first played in
babyhood. II teaches US 10 be ever
| thankful and baby learns 10 say:
Thank you. dear mamma" Thank
you. dear baker" Thank you, dear
God"
There are many other songs and
games in FroebeTs Mother Play
which I give to my children long be-
fore the kindergarten age. In all OF
these they take the greatest delight.
I begin early 10 sing the songs and
play the finger games which nOurish
the instinct OF love for the mem
bers OF the family and affection for
animals.

The Inner Life.

IT'S an exact life that maintains It.
self in due order In private, wrote
Montaigne. Everyone may juggle his
part, and represent an honest man up
ON the stage; but within, and in his
own bosom, where ali may do as they
list, where all is concealed, to be reg
ular, there's the point. The nexr de.
gree is TO be so in his house, and in
his ordinary actions, for which there is
no study nor artificc. And therefore
Bias, setting forth the excellent state
OF private family, says: "Of which
the master is the same within, by his
own virtue and temper, that he is
abroad for fear of the laws and report
of mcn." And it was Il worthy saying
of julius Drusus, to the masOns who
offered him for three thousand crowns
to put his house in such posture
that his neishbors should no longer
have the same inspection into it as be-
fore: Il will give you," said he, "six
thousand to make it SO that everybody
may see into every ROOM"

Exercise Your Will.

In the Woman's Home Companion q
writer says: Let US keep it in mind
each day that II weak will is the sign of
1nferiority; it means that we belong to
the lower classes, to the weak and in
ferior; and then remember that If we
remain weak and inferior, it is not be-
cause We must, but entirely because we
prefer to; and remember that we can
become one of the intelligent ruling
