May Increase Levy. In its tentative form the Commis- sioners’ bill called for a one-cent tax and a registration fee of $1 a year. The Maryland law on which that state desires to base reciprocity provides for a two-cent tax, however, and it is believed likely that the local bill will call for that amount of tax when it is finally transmitted to Congress.

Article VIL Paradoxical as it may appear to| those who have not fully understood | the principles and working of auto- suggestion, the education of a child begins before even it is born! With- out going back to explanations which I have siven in previous articles, I need only say that the imagination plays the supreme role in every func- tion of life, and that by disciplining it, or, in other words, by exercising autosuggestion, a prospective mother cannot only determine the sex of her child (that has been demonstrated Dby certain medical authorities), but also, to a large degree, its physical and moral characteristics. She has only to let her imagination deposit in her subconscious mind the image of the son or daughter she desires and the-qualities she wishes the still unborn infant to possess. The result is assured, x Even more important, perhaps, is the fact that such a child will yield more readily than most to suggestion. ‘Which does not mean that its char- acter is_likely to be weak. On the contrary, the probabilities are that it will, as it grows up, exchange sug- gestion for autosuggestion, and achieve perfect self-mastery. Only it must be remembered that our acts and deeds are, for the most part, the result of past outside suggestions or example. The importance of begin- ning a child’s education early, and of controlling the suggestions destined to influence and mold the young mind, must therefore be obvious to all. Parents and educators must be cara- ful to implant in it only good sug- gestions and preserve it at all costs from bad ones. Be Gentle, But Firn. How is that to be done? I will try to give a few indications, or sug- gestions. They must be taken as general ones, of course; they may be modified or sdapted to individual sub- jects and circumstances. Be of an equable temper with them, speaking in gentle tones, but firm: persuading.them to obey without giv- ing them the temptation to resist your influence. Never be rough with a child, for to do o is to risk pro- voking a sentiment of fear, accom- panied by sullenness or even hate. Avoid talking ill of people in the presence of children; the latter would inevitably follow your example later on. And backbiting often leads to disaster. Seek to awaken in_their minds_the desire to understand nature. Keep them interested. Answer their ques- tions clearly, with good humor. Do not put them off, as 8o many of us are tempted to do, With such replies as 2Oh, you bother me!” or “Youll know about that later.” Above all, never on any account tell a child that he or she is a “story- teller,” or lazy. or a dunce. or worse. Remember that such suggestions have 2 very strong tendency to become realities, just as the better kind of suggestions have. Offer Encouragement. Rather say one ‘day to a child in- clined to be lazy or negligent, “Well, you have done much better than usual today; I am very pleased with your work; you are improving.” It A New Roof With 2 B Let me apply one coat of id ooting.

No matter. The idea of improvement, of excellence, of endeavor, will sink‘ in the chiid’s mind, and gradually, with judicious encouragement, will be transformed 1y into fact. x ing diseases in front of children; autosuggestion is quick to transport the idea to the physical plane and develop the very illness you wish to avert. Teach them, on the contrary, that good health is normal sickness an anomaly, & humiliation which “is only a consequence ,of the non-observance of nature's laws, Do not let a child fear the ele- ments; man is made to support cold, heat, rain, wind, etc, with- out 'ill effects; it's merely an idea that creates weakness. It is a cruel thing to frighten children by talking of “bogies” and goblins and the like; fear thus instilled may per- sist in atter life and ruln a child's es.

He said that no matter how noble a person was in spirit he needed physique in order to accomplish anything for the benefit of mankind. The character of a per- son is reflected in the dog he own said the spveaker. Reyv. @. Ernest Smith, rector of St. Thomas' Episcopal Chugch, told of the part the societies for the pre- vention of cruelty to animals were playing toward seeing that the dumb creatures are properly treated. The secretary’s report for the year showed that the society had examin- ed 1.870 animals and prosecuted Six- ty-threo cases of cruelty in Police Court, securing sixty-one convictions. he report also showed tiat membership of the soclety had di creased from 398 members to 375 du ing the vear through deaths, resigna- tions and non-payment of dues.

Vital Factor An In Child Education, Says Coue Declares Teaching May Begin Even.Be- fore Birth and Should Be Kept Up to Proper Precepts. by explaining the difficult with a smile and conveying the im. pression that it is all quite simple. The “educator’s ideal make his p next lesson Teach Love of Labor. Naturally, one must instill the love of labor, with the idea that labor is natural. and indispensable; lenes conduc ive to every kind of physical and moral evil. A child’s pliable mind easily assimilates such sug- gestions. which become permanent and will mold and build his char- acter. It is unnecessary, and\not in the scope of these articles, to enumer- te all the qualities which a child hould possess. What I want to ex- plain is the employment of sug- gestion and autosuggestion in his education and training. We _all know that “example is better than precept.” but we realize the truth of it with greater force after study- ing the power of autosuggestion. And children are particularly sensitive to suggestion:; they are always ready to copy what they see, good or bad. So the first duty of parents and ed: cators is to set only good examples. Suggestion may be practiced with wonderful effect to correct any de- fects in a child’s character and to develop missing qualities. Every night, just as the child is about to fall off to sleep, or when it is al- ready asleep, stand about a yard away from the bed and murmur in @ low undertone what you wish to obtain, repeating fifteen to twenty times the qualities it is desired to provoke and the defects to be cor- rected. Do not be afraid to repeat the same phrases monotonously; that is the most powerful means of reaching the subconscious. The lat- ter needs no eloguence to be im- pressed. A plain_statement of the idea is sufficient.. More than that de- feats the ends to be attained. Use in School Room. In schools remarkable results should he obtained by teachers practicing suggestion on their classes every day pefore beginning lessons. The pupils should be told io shut their eyes, and then they might be addressed som thing aftér the following fashion: “Children, I am sure you are all go- ing to be good, polite and amiable to every one and obedient to your pi rents and teachers. You will always take note of their observations, be- cause you know that it is for your own good. You are intelligent, so you love your work, even the sub- jects which you used to dislike. In class your attention will be always alert and attentive to what your teacher says. You will only be sorry for other children who may be fool- ishly wasting time and playing dur- So, as you are very intelligent, You will have no diffi- culty in understanding the lesson, no fatter on what subject, and you will remember everything you are told. It will all be stored away in your mind ready for use directly your knowledge is called upon. Of course, the above is merely a sample of what might be said in the way of suggestion. It can be modified and certainly improved by teachers to suit their particular needs. The im portant’ point is to practice sugge: tion in this form. It does not matter if the children laugh a little at first, or if their attention wanders, or iT, when the morning suggestion (it is not desirable, naturally, that they should know the purpose of it) has become a regular thing, they- listen automatically to the words without hearing them. The words reach the subconscious mind all the same, and the ideas conveyed do their work just as efficiently. In a word, it is essential that a child should be impregnated with the right kind of suggestion. Everything depends upon it. Play upon the imagi- nation. Character is formed by imagination. More often than not that which is attributed to he- redity, in the moral well as in consequence b ible to b lieve a child is born a criminal. He becomgs one by autosuggestion, ‘just as he may become a valued member of the community as ‘the .result of autosuggestion guided in the right direction.
