The greater man, the greater courtesy"

In every home opportunities should
be made for the little children to prac-
tice consideration and care for some
thing weaker than themselves. The
cherishing instinct, both i'll the in
dividual and the family, needs cultiva-
ton and direction. 1t is manifested
in the love of little girls for their dolls
and in the devotion of boys to their
pets. N this quality of nurture, is not
exercised or properly directed i
withers; for affections must be exer-
cised if they are to develop We often
see spoiled children in American fam

humoring every within, and relieving
them of all care, trouble and re-
sponsibility, only to find when the,
are grown that they are utterly selfish
and inconsiderate.
Unfortunate, too, is the only child
or the youngest member of the family,
who is overindulged, with no more
dependent member of the household
to call forth his tender feelings. Here
in lies on great value of the kinder
garten, where children are given op-
portunities to help those younger than
themselves.
For the child without companions
in the home, the parent should pro-
vide occasions that require service or
sacrifice for others. Arrange to have
his friends come frequently to play
with your little one, and share his
toys. suggesting that the little guests
must have the best.
Adaptability is gaind through com.
panionship with ones equals From
association with boys, little girls learn
something of fair play, and become
acquainted with the sturdier virtues
while, from girls, the boys learn to
have a chivalrous attitude toward
womankind.
The instinct of nurture is developed
through the care of garden or, pets,
