THE MAN WHO TALKS

the Cl1ld or the sums. lnC16 IS. HUW~ | ever, this difference that the one child | is born with a stronger trend toward | knowledge than the other We must ad-
 init that heredity counts for something | both in the upward and downward ten- deney. If blood counts in the loWen 1 anfnaEs/ why not in men? And yet as l far as the real possession of knowledge l is concerned both children are equally 1 deficient The difference of capacity in children to learn is of course very great and very soon shows itself Parents and teachers ought to be very patient with the child not quick to learn. Don't call him duli or stupid if he has to be l told thing again and again. The teacher who does this is incapable of in- structing children. All you have to do | is to keep telling Johnny that he Is a bonehead and he will believe 1t and give up real effort to learn. The fatal dam age is done when the child is small. l Ye shades of Thomas Hooker and Colonel Ledyard. What would these ! worthies say if informed that an air plane sey> was to be established be- 1 tween Hartford and New London? If history has painted these two noble men correctly one cannot believe that they would lift ID their hands in horror and exciaim: Tt is the work of the deyili7 Certainly Benjamin Franklin with his 1 wide range of scientific knowledge would not say it Let us nAjoice that the age lis forever past for c, nsigning scientific

 fact that the air can be navigated even
 across the mighty oceans. Let us one and all give hearty. moral support 10 this new. aerial project. The writer would very much like to be one of the first passengers.
 It takes really big man to sec and
 admit the extent of his limitations. Tn
 comparison the self-conceited man is a fool. It is a fact of historical record
 that when most of the presidents of the . United States have been informed of their election there has been no swing ing of hats or shouting, a thoughtful s realization of the size of the job com 3 mitted to their hands. They have look e ed upon it not as a time for jubilation : but dedication. Many Of them have re- . sorted to prayer that they might meas ! ure up to it's vast requirements When Solomon was informed that he had been U selected to follow David his father on the throne he did not celebrate the { event with fireworks. but exclaimed q . am but a little child I know not how : to go out or come in.'' Think of it! Sol s omon was great enough to realize thai 2 he needed outside help! The great name: 1 of history are of men who knew theil :, limitations.
