ly two-that suggests the stirring
scenes in and around a. country
home which l. have just now Wis
tied.
There were sixteen children born
to this welded pair. but one was
lost III 'bGByfood. The first two,
the third two. the fifth two and
the ssv1nth two were girls. Then
the boys came on, alternating by
twos,, making eight of each. 1
have never before known of such
an instance.
Only twelve Of these husky sons
and daughters actually live under
the parental roof, one being mar
ried and two others being away
from home. But the really inter-
esting question here for my parent
readers Is how the remaining fam
lily Of fourteen gets on. Especially
should 1t interest those parents Of
J. two and three only. who have been
writing to me about the awful
troubles of rearing a family.
The answer Is simple and In
structive. The fourteen live to-
gether more like a colony than an
ordinary family. Here Is q scheme
OF cooperative growing up togeth-
er. BY the time he can sit alone
the youngest IL able to feed him.

can dress himself. NThe next above
that can sew on a button. The
next above that can prepare a sim
pie breakfast.
So the capacities for practical
achievement among the colony
group of twelve brothers and sis.
ters increase with the age, ana
the older is trained to supplement
the weakness of the younger. This
family Is also frequently a debat.
ing society. Each member Is very
able to contend for his rights urls
der the home constitution. and at
times the clinched gestures of two
of the boys will come together with
a smash. -
The farm, the livestock. the
orchard, the garden, the complexI
ties Of the household and every
other essential. are here at hand
to give each child complete con.
tact with the things from which
a full self-reliance is finally
achieved.
The moral of the big family here
breaches itself. In case Of our
own pampered two or three we try
try to give them character instead
OF letting them grow It or achieve
II for themselves. We try to buy
virtues readymade and to have
them put on as fine garments.
We try to soothe and lull our youpx
into a kind Of goodness by the ex.
travagant, unearned satisfaction
OF their cravings and desires. and
under this excess they become
colorless and negative.
That which seems to stand out
as the chief lesson in case of the
family of fifteen here considered
Is the idea OF self-creative char.
acter, Every babe begins at once
to hoe his own row, TO give and
take by turns, and to follow the
career of q husky hustler. & ,..5E
