; Today she probably realizes that
some Of the tenets to which she

childhood have become thorough

is now conducted upon more
liberal principles.
No StiIted Affair
Relationships between elders
and children is no longer the
stilted affair it used to be, be-
cause candor has replaced tight
Iy-lipped silence. Subjects are
discussed today with youngsters
that only q few years ago were
held taboo.

An idea Of how effective a gov

CHAPTER ".


- LTHoUGH it was the Gus.
~ tom OF the Gould family
for the children to spend
virtually all of their lives in the
open, it must mot be supposed
that they did not undergo regu-
lar and assiduous form CT educa-
ton. Next to our health, our
parents considered the question
Of education as paramount.
"There is no excuse in the
world" my mother used to re-
mark, '.for people that are well
off to neglect the benefits and
Joys of education. The greatest
blessing that wealth brings is
the power to absorb knowledge. !"
Of all the various branches of
learning, my mother considered
foreign languages the most inn
portant. AS we grew up and
travelled abroad and mingled
here with visitors Of distinction
from other countries her wisdom
became more and more manifest.
From my own point OF view. I
am convinced that a wide dis
serninataon OF a knowledge Of for
e1gn languages among all nation
alities would do more than any
thing else to bring about the fell
lOwship Of nations.
From our earliest childhood we
had foreign goVernesses who
taught US their own particular
tongues. In general supervision
Of education was Miss Caroline
COrtis, who although ten or fif-
teen years older than my mother.
had been her childhood friend in
Brooklyn.
Miss Cortts. on a visit to our
home, made some suggestions as
20 how the education Of the
children should be arranged, and
my mother was so pleased with
her ideas tlrat she requested her

the generalissimo of the army of
Eovernesses and nurses.
Miss Cortis, endowed with con-
siderable executive ability. dis,
charged her duties as best she
could under the handicap Of q
