PEATTIE. ‘The son of Ralph Waldo Emerson once told me that when he was study- ing at Hervard with the father of | American botany, Asa Gray, he asked about the trailing arbutus pronounced it arbu-tus. “Where your prosody, man; where's your prosody?” snap Gray, well versed in his Latin, * it ar-butus.” True, the Romans so pronounced the name of their arbutus tree, but arbutus now is a common English word, and I could never see why we should not call it arbu-tus if we wished to. Or you can let yourself gracefully out by the back exit, calling it mayflower (though the mayflower for which that ship was named was the English hawthorn). Again, if you wish to appear highbrow, call it Epigaea repens—not & bad name, after all, since it means “creeping on the ground.” And well it is for the trailing arbutus that it goes creeping on the ground. When I see these days the dainty little flower, one of the dozen earliest wild flowers, sold on the streets in grea bunchs torn out of the soil, I only dread to think what would become of it if it stood up in plain sight. And, after all, this flower, so prized, is really very modest; on the street or in a vase at home it never quite looks happy, nor does it make a good bouquet. For & spot_of color, & wealth of fragrance in the house, what, after all, is the equal of the rose? Why cannot people leave wild things in the wild, where they are ever at their loveliest, and all may equally enjoy? Lesson Learned. Some part of wisdom he has earned Who has & 1653001 ‘Mother Nature.

March 28, 1791.—President Washing- ton arrived in Georgefown today and is lodged tonight at Suter’s Tavern. Leaving Bladensburg, Md., where he spent last night, at 6:30 o'clock this morning, the President was met on the road by the principal citizens of George- town and escorted to the tavern. He spent the remainder of the day after his arrival in examining the surveys of the new Federal City made by Maj. Andrew Ellicott and some rough plans for the city drawn by Maj. lerre Charles L'Enfant. This evening Gen. Washington was entertained at dinner at Suter’s Tavern by the mayor of Georgetown, Thomas | Beall, and the members of the town | corporation. During the day, also, he m r:?ec‘cmflmmioners of the new e ty. The President has hitherto directed the negotiations for the purchase of land for the new Federal City through his agents here, but he has now come from Philadelphia to give closer per- sonal attention to the matter. There is considerable rivalry between residents and owners of land in various parts of the District on the Maryland side of the | Potomac River as te the location of the | proposed city boundaries and of the | Capitol and the President's house, which are to be the nucleus of the new city. President Washington left Philadel- phia for a tour of the Southern States on- the 21st of this month. Owing to the bad condition of the roads, he made the journey to Annapolis by water. He left ‘the capital of Maryland yesterday morning and rode to Bladensburg, stop- ping en route at Queen Ann, on the Patuxent River, After l‘?enflnl the night at Bladensburg, he lost no time in leaving there early this morning for the Federal District. Maj. L'Enfant has rough drawings in pencil of several plans for development | of the land in the vicinity of Carrolls- burg, which occuples the neck of land between, James Creek and the Eastern Branch in the Federal District. He had been directed by the President “to examine and make a draught” of these and other grounds in the proposed city. Up to this time Maj. L'Enfant has not completed his surveys of the western portion of the new city. The President examined these pencil plans and indicated his intention to ride over the site of the new cidy to- morrow and make such suggestions as occur to him. he is here the President will particularly endeavor to advance the iations that have been in progress with various land owners for the sur- render of their land to the city authori- tles.

You in the same ease and uninterrupted calm as you enjoyed before they came. Some fathers seem to think they should. Children are noisy, restless, untidy, relertless in their demands for atten- tion, a source of radiating activity from the time they waken until they sleep again. Better accept that fact at the E tart. It is difficult to train our inherited traits. The qualities of grandfathers and grandmothers, fathers and mothers are certain to be reflected in the chil- dren. If you have red hair and the temperament that is traditionally ac- credited to it, you must expect it to ap- pear in one or mare of the children. So with all the other traits distributed within you and the other immediate an- cestors. This fact demands a bit of ac- ceptance also. Children grow rhythmically, full speed ahead, a slowing down, a rest spell, then all over again. But each child has its own rhythm. The growing times, the slowing times and the rest- ing times all vary, not only in child and child, but in each individual child. That is another interesting fact to accept. It will keep you from trying to make slow- paced Molly keep step with silver-footed Sally. It will prevent you from trying to make an adolescent whose mental growth has paused for a spell to keep up with children who have not entered that phase of growth as yet. You can’t present a gift of intelli- gence of any sort to a child. What gifts he had at birth are his own, but none can be found for him if the fairy godmother was absent. That is a very bare fact to be accepted early and re- membered late. It will save you much suffering. You will not try to make a lawyer out of a good gardener, nor a | good gardener out of a skilled surgeon. | Is one to put up with everything chil- dren do and make no effort to change the child? That is the old trick of throwing the baby out with the bath. Each child is a prize package. Nobody can tell what is inside him until he expands sufficlently to let you see in- side. Teaching helps him expand. Ex- periences set to enrich their natural ifts, bring out whatever powers they have, are essential. Lessons that require study and sustained attention help, but they must be the lessons the child’s mind can take. Example and precept must be closely related. Imitation is one way children leary. What you are the children are likely to copy. What you say they are likely not to hear. Don’t be afraid of treating children in different ways. One child will have to be hounded to duty, another will have to be held back. Treat them ac- cording to their needs. Don't hold up one child as a model of perfection to but remember to his peculiar merit.
