Words come before No prde- thought except n words, Pain ina wnake itself known in cries, pleasure in iughter, content- a facial nent in expression, certain losires by gesture Simple as are such hods of con. ng primitive leas, to express \ny co-ordinate hought, any logi- al process of the vind, any abstract lesire or idea, Words are necessary. In Saturday’s Evening World was told the story of how Louis Lombard is educating his children, of whom he has eight. They speak French, Italian, Spanish, German and English, which they learned ‘with little mental effort without realizing the education from which their whole future life will benefit. | It is as easy for the child to learn one jang ' It is a great deal easier for a grown person to learn some lan- @uages than others. That is because a child learns a language by imi- tation, while a grown person learns by a combination of analogy, rea- soning, memory and hearing. Where a child hears several languages spoken it is natural to use an English noun with a German verb, an Italian adjective and a French preposition, The child knows the word and its meaning, Where is no occasion to tell the child that one word is French and that the other word is German, A child can talk years before its mind is capable of understanding such an explanation. There are other things than languages which should be taught early so that they may become a habit. Telling the truth can be a habit. Some chil- dren learn to ex- eggerate because their misstate- ments are laughed at and a child likes applause, It is as natu- tal for a child to Wo right as to do wrong, if anything more natural to do right, and a child will do right unless it is led by exam- ple, or approval, or bad handling, to do wrong. Before the age pf ten habits are easily acquired. If those habits are bad it is a struggle of years to over- come them, and the struggle is always attended with relapses 00d it is quite as much of a task to n A great part of the lear: ing now ta be postponed.

ECAUSE he liked to go hunting and fishing, instead of mastering his studies, a young Southerner was expelled from Charleston College | about ninety years ago. The unlucky boy was John Charles Fre | Mont, son of a poor widow. To be expelled from college was regarded im those days as a crowning disgrace, and the widow's neighbors predicted , that the lad would be a failure in life, Instead, he lived to be merely the 4! plaything of Misfortune, and Incidentally to win deathless fame. Por a time after his expulsion Fremont picked up a bare living by | teaching mathematics, He was a teacher in the navy, but soon gave up , the sea and His work carried him Weat « ward A Government appointment a@ + neers followe’. Then came a ove affair tht | changed much of his Hfe.

Shortly after the wedding Fremont was ordered to help survey the almost 4 Iden territory from Missourl to California and to explore the Rooky | tains, It was a hard and dangerous mission. But, by the way he ao | ed it, Fremont received popular title of ‘The Pathfinder.’ He) discovered, in the "Vind River range, the 18010 tuot mountain that still beers the name of “Fremont's Pehk;" then in 18% started to open up the unknown , Jand between the Rockies and the Pacitie Ocean.

But Fremont refused to depart. A Mexican army was sent against him, With only sixty-two men at his back Fremont built a log forty ; ran up the American flag ar sed to go. ft was a gallant “bluff,” and It | succeeded, He was not further molested. ‘Then word came from Washingtom ng Fremont 2 American settlers in Northern Calle nut to d destroy our villages there, Jess than @ month hac 'berated all Northerm ame a surveyor and engineer for exploring attack a ran Stockton arrived off Monterey ke the future State by California from Mexican Commodore Robert F naval squa ha United States went to hig tor with Jonists, and did gallant work in sn that wom ria for the U Stites s " betes otece PAD d there, Kearny nad quarrelled with kton, and he dis Fremont because the latter was Stockton’s right-hand man, He wed himself by bringing charges of and disobedience against the rer, emont, and on Kearny’s evidence declared A court-martial tried y t found himself rewarded for his years of The t AL bor by being publicly disgraced and practically forced to resign from Instead of sulkin e Fremont fitted out at hie wn eXpense an expe seeking a new and easier route to the Pacific Snowbound in thi rible suffering and peril. mont's men were even forced to eat thelr * ves irom death by starvation.
