X1V.—On Training Children, "The recent death of one young man of this city under painful cir- cumstances ‘and the “going wrong” of another, who had been carefully nurtured, bring freshly to mind the oki and puzzling problem as to the | training of children, President Roosevelt stated an unpleasant but undoubted truth In his! & address to the Congress of Mothers in saying that ‘‘some children will go “wrong in spite of the best tralning and some will go right even when helt surroundings are most unfortunate.” The old proverb, “As the twig is bent the tree is inclined,” 1s proved to be false in many families Wherein the parentage and the training are the same, while one child grows up straight and another crooked. In a village where extreme : ‘temperance views prevailed fifty years ago, and a stern Puritanism domi Mated the community, it was noted that nearly every family turned out ‘one drunkard and some of them more. ‘ ‘The effect of too rigid a restraint upon certain temperaments Is not sreeenNO. 16,078, ) @nough studied by parents, On the other hand, the bad result of tod) $ much Indulgence is quite as often observed. What is the “golden mean?’ | & ° ° ° In his address Mr. Roosevelt gave these pertinent admonitions: $ In bringing up your children you mothers must remember that while It !s @ssential to be loving and tender {t 1s no less essential to be wise and firm. Foolishness and affection must not be treated as interchangeable terms, and) besides training your sons and daughters tn the softer and milder virtues you ‘must seek to give them those stern and hardy qualities which In after life they will surely need, If you mothers, through weakness, bring up your sons to be eelfish and to think only of themselves, you will be responsidle for much sadness) among the women who are to be thelr wives in the future, ® If you let your daughters grow 1p idle, perhaps under the mistaken !m- pression that as you yourselves have had to work hard they shall know only en- | Joyment, you are preparing them to be useless to others and burdens to them- pelves, Teach boys and girls alike that they are not to look forward to lives | spent in avoiding difficulties, but to lives spent in overcoming difficulties. Teach them that work for themselves, and also for others, |s not a curse but a blessing; seek to make them happy, to make them enjoy Ilfe, but seek also to make them face Iife with the steadfast resolution to wrest success fronr labor and adversity, and to do their whole duty before God and to man. There spoke a sensible parent and a wise counsellor. Between too / Much indulgence by silly mothers and too great indifference by parents who are supremely selfish, it is a wonder that more children are not) Spoiled. Where “foolishness and affection are treated as interchangeable, terms” daughters are apt to copy the follies of their mother rather than! ‘her virtues, and the sons to develop the faults and weaknesses of thein i » father instead of his strength. $ A ° ° ° The most effective teacher is Example. ‘Every one,” says the ancient!

Some children in par- ticular seem “prone to evil as the sparks fly upward’—that is, naturally, by/a law of their being. It is as hard to alter the disposition of a child—its| natural inclination—as it is to change its peculiar physical and mental char | acter: its temperament, ‘The taint of heredity, which sometimes appear @! after having skipped a generation or two, often thwarts the best endeav- _ ors for its eradication. * * And yet, as the President said, “an Immense amount can be done by) family training”—which includes precept, example, environment, lovin, » care, intelligent sympathy and firmness that knows no yielding. When all fail, and the child ‘goes wrong,” parental responsibility may at leas | feel that it has done its duty—and leave the rest to God, | The People’s Corner. , Letters from Evening World Readers Gueky or Unluckyti Fo the Editor of The Evening World: I would Uke to eek readers the fol- Towing question on superetition: Is it / Iueky or unlucky to make a present of my wedding dreas?
