Moral Training of the Child Should Be Watched

A child's hopes, doubts, joys
and sorrows are as real to him
at 8 as they will be at 80.
Let the parents teach him
obedience, trust and self-reliance,
but let him ferret out or do
things for himself. If he wants
to climb into his chair by himself
they should not interfere. To
help him is not a kind act but
illustrates a childish and all-im-
portant aim.
But remember that to inter.
fere with every natural impulse
of your child, the effort to fash.

mature mold, is the worst form
