When told that no such Idea had ever been entertained, sho appeared much relieved. For a while she re- Mained quiet, as if in thought, and then she fell asleep, only to moan and toss bout. She has not reverted to tho subject and it is only by her manner that those about her can form an Idea of her mental condition.

HARRY HASTINGS, President of the New York City Mothera’ Club, How to bring up a child uutil a few years ago was a subject which it was thought every Ignorant young mother mastered the Instant the first vabe was | laid in her arms | A greater mistake could not have heen made. There is preparation, loom and often discouraging, for every trade or profestion which men or women seok to learn. Motherhood Is for woman the great- est profession, yet as a rule it !9 the one she adopts without taking any thought of Its duties and responsibill- thes, | The mere fact of bringing a child Into the world does not endow one with knowledge of the best way to rear it In the past mothers had to learn what not todo by doing {t The Mothers’, Club unites the acquired wisdom of} all mothers and gives to each the benefit of the experience of all first thing to be considered {n bringing up a child ts Nis physical welfare. If your Httle boy or girl Is In perfect health you need not fear for his| mental ,or physical or spiritual life— mind and body should develop equality A child whone brain {s sluggish or active beyond his years is nat normal, is not perfect, The mother’s first care should be to develop a sound, healthy body in her little one, The best way to do this is simpiy the child's natural play. Games are very Important. Hide and seck |s splendid exertese, A normal little boy Is never happier than when playing horse. You will find, too, that a youngster who would tire in a week of the finest rocking-horse will straddle a chair every day for a year in perfect content The crudity of his playthings + sarily forces him to develop his imagin- ation and ts a step toward mental velopment. Little girls should, T think, share thelr brothers’ games until they get to be too old to enjoy therh. Some girls 1 know do not care for out-of-door amusements, There the mother's Influ- egce must be exercise. A spirit of play is natural to tne healthy child. Where {t does not exist, {t should be developed. T do not delleve in gymnastics for healthy children. ‘The natural play gives them all the exercise they require. In the development of physically weak, abnormal children Swedish movemen Are an (mportant factor by stimulating the Imagination. But play develops body and mind. Mental, physical and spiritual develop- ment are indissolubly linked. One fol- lows the other as the night the day. So far as mental development in a child ts concerned I am of the opinion (hal precocity inatead of being fostered by mothers should be discouraged by them. For the child prodigy 1s usually developed. at thé expense of the body. There are, of course, exceptional cases where a boy or girl Is developed physi- cally, mentally and spiritually beyond his years, This should not be a’ cause for alarm.
