everything. Parents can hardly wait
until the newborn baby smiles, until
he gets his first tooth, until he reaches
for his toys, until he walks and talks,
Instead of centering their attention on
nutrition and letting each of these
stages approach naturally, the parent
anticipates them and hurries the child
into them,
So when the six or seven months old
child shows a tendency To want TO stan0

but the average baby cannot walk nat

The woman who moves in small

Happy is the man that findeth knowl-

great learning, covering the fields OF
astronomy, architecture, agriculture,
navigation, art literature, history, po-
litical economy. natural science and
all the sciences so far as known in hts

he said, Il perceived that this also IS

Of the Shrewdest and most clever men

wise In the ways of the world He had
