more about marriage. He says he

He talks of other girls and

Fear filed your heart when you

, him, at Is, alone in the world.
A ragged, rowing waif of the Rev.
olutiOn, he grew up as wild as a
weed. With no hand above him,
his high spirits led him into the
temptations of his primitive world,
whose social standards were 200
years behind the times. Drinking
and carousing, gambling, cock fight
ing and horse racing, young Jack
son never took a dare. the rustic
sport once stalking his horse and
his all on a throw Of the dice. A
bully among rowdies. he went bis
registering way along a road that
! is not to be laid down on the map
of conduct as a course to the White
house.
Still the story points the moral
that if young man will only keep
going, he will leave the follies Of
youth behind him. Jackson faults
we're the vices of his rough sur
roundings and they changed with
/ changing circumstances. His sim
| pie virtues we're drawn from the
same rude environment. which
nodded him into a rugged, fear
less man. who never forgot a
! friend and who never stopped to
dishonesty.
Unhappily, his loyal nature could
not forget an enemy either. as he
rose from chore boy and a sad
dler's apprentice TO he lawyer
and a Judge of the supreme court
of Tennessee, he cast aside the
! designations Of his careless youth,
but he never lost the spirit Of the
clansman or subdued his unsoy-
ernable temper.

and fights is too long to be given

low, however, that defective muscle

Yet exercise is unquestionably es-

An infant must have some brain
capacity before it can make any
intelligent or purposive movement
whatever. A child must use. its
brain in order to dig a hole in the
ground, or climb a fence, or run a
race. A newborn infants move

voluntary or automatic, like the
movements q decapitated frog will

| the higher brain centers for the in
telligent control of these move
ments are developed, and, in due
time, the infant, without any inten-
tional schooling or teaching, &C
auires the ability to coordinate its
| muscular efforts-and that is edu-
cation.
Through exercise the child &C
quires grace and facility Of move
ment, which implies a quick men,

A baby learns infinitely more by
simple baby exercises than by
studying the ceiling. A child
learns more by playing with play
mates. parents or envious visitors
than by pulling over books.
A large part of the brain has NO
other function than the housing Of
centers which preside over various
voluntary muscle movements, in

the father sank into an unmarked
grave a few days before Andrews
birth, leaving his family without q
