There had been brilliant company
at the home of a society leader-a
woman whose husband, while a very
worthy man, was noted rather for his
wealth than for his mental attain

visitor had gone and they had sat down

asked the children beforehand they
could give you a dozen good reasons
for taking part in plays and games,
and they would never think of Ham,
let's reasons, or Rosalind's- And if you
put these thoughts into their heads
you are doing much to cultivate
morbid self-consciousness But what Is
exactly what many parents-and many
teachers, too, alasEdo with their sub
stitution of good assortments of words

The excellent work in the organiza-
ton of boys and girls for wholesome
outdoor life and nature study is vitiat-
ed to degree by the disregard of the
chi1d's nature that shows itself in such
priggish notices as "One kind deed

who would actually check off his days

would be an intolerable companion for
person who still valued spontaneity.

just as likely to make the child rush
to the assistance of the blind man in
the morning in order to get the kind
deed out of the way, leaving the rest
of the day for the enjoyment of life.
We wish the children to be kind, to
be happy, to be healthy, to be brave
and several other things. But the kind

There is no use making the child
conscious of your purpose in the vari-
Gus problems of his development that
you have undertaken to solve. Nor
need he be instructed in the various
devices that you plan TO use in his up
bringing. 1t is enough that you use
suggestion and good example, that you
moderate your voice to suit the occa-

right time. But the child should be
concerned only with the results, not

extent that our training consists of
formulas and precepts and admoni-

Muskmelons: The culture of the
muskmelon is the same as the cucum-
Der except that the plants are usually
given more space. Plant to 10 seeds
