The Child Phylral; How May Trai lin' Co-operate With the Mother is Cor his wellbeing. Paper Head by Mrs. E. M. Wolfe before Arti-rue&ia Mother* Club of Maunu.ii. Homo. ,0 PuUUbadby Hequiut of tb» club. Psychologists tell us that the des- ! tiny of a human being is largely de- ! cided during the first seven years of of life. Is it not of supreme impor- it tance what kind of impressions, ideas and memories are indelibly made upon the plastic brain anil nervous system? We have learned that the mother is the child's first teacher, whether she will realize it or not; and we need clear-headed, true-souled women who understand the science of motherhood and meth ods for developing true manhood anti true womanhood from the com- ren plex organization of the child. Hut the mother needs the co-operation of the skilled teacher, and the child needs the companionship of other children. "The teacher is like the director of an orchestra: the child- of ren are the instruments; before for harmony can be thought of there Some criticise new methods be of and must be the tuning of each. cause we do not teach so much from books as in years past. It is the duty of all who understand new methods to lead the public to see that during early childhood, growth and not cram is what is most need ed. Then the public will realize that human seedlings require the same care and wise discrimination as to individual needs, which the careful gardener or nurseryman gives his tender buddings, easily blighted trees and flowers. Prevention is better than cure, and when we can cause all who are interested in the welfare of the hu man race in the smallest detail that pertains to its earliest development, to see this then we may expect re formation along many lines. We may not spend less public money in building hospitals, prisons, asylums, etc., but there will be more spent for the adequate prepar ation of teachers for the very young; properly equipped and suitable buildings, designed and set apart for their special use, with play grounds attractive and beautiful. If taxpayers could be made to understand that money spent for the education of the very youngest child is the wisest possible expend iture that could be made, we would have healthier children and better teachers. I believe from observa tion and experience that the uursery, kindergarden and primary rooms are of greater importance than the higher grades and universities. Over and over again we must use the time-worn similes of the bent sapling, consequently the crooked tree; the weak and insufficient foundation, and the inevitable crash aud fall of the subsequent super structure. Of what use are all the magnificent advantages of such col leges as Harvard, Yale, Cornell. Vassar and Smith, if young men and women bring to them, as we can not deny they do in numberless instances, imperfectly developed senses, weak wills, and consequently lack of self-directing powers—im mortal lives, either indifferent or perverted and aspirations that are unuttainablé because of inadequate physical strength. I came across this paragraph not long since and I heartily endorse it: "If this people is to take and keep the place among nations for which it is peculiarly fitted and for which God intends it, more must be done for the care of the body. Too many educated wrecks drift from our schools and colleges." And I would add that the majority of cases date back to overcrowded, illventilated, poorly heated and lighted primary The teacher can aid the sive and not ally sist by our too and rich give ble lie ally ease not tial by tne all on as in of room , All windows should be supplied with dark shades, so undesirable light may be excluded, especially where the hgj l1 ' 8 B " |* e seats should be comfortable, so tne little body will not assume a crip pled posture.

To do thic she should he provided with a room that will allow 800 cubic feet of air-space for each child. The windows should be thrown open at recesses and at noon in all weather, and the atmosphere of the room pu rified. During a great, part of the year some of the windows should be "left open at the top. The normal temperature of a healthy room is 70 degrees. It must he rememtiered that very young children are far more susceptible to the evil effects of impure air than grown people, and yet they reveal less quickly the diseases arising therefrom. There should be at least one-sixth as much space for light as tioor space. It is best in evory way that light should come from but one side of the room, but is difficult to obtain sufficient light from one side.

To learn ; from the experience of others what is liest in every way for me to do for the precious little tot entrusted mi* nora ,,.u i;r r ,0 lu j care * whose life 1 am SUp posed to have molded liefore it en- I ! ters school. It is not the teachers, ! 'tear mothers, who have the destiny of those little souls to account for; it is we mothers. We should weigh this well before it is too late. Short sessions are also a physical advant age for young children, garten children are happier and healthier in than out of kmdergar ten. They are only kept three hours, and only one hour if very nervous, until they become tomed to t he change, teachers should watch bright child ren very closely and not permit them to overtax their niary teachers could help parents so much if they were pc-mitted to use their own judgment in every little detail that would promote the healh of the children, and not do things for which their conscience bitterly reproaches them, all because the unreasonable taxpayer wants the value of his money, at the expense of wrecking physically those who might and would make bright and women. i in at Kinder accus P a ryots and nerves. Pri men Cleanliness is a virtue. The op posite of cleanliness is a great fault, since it comprises the dignity of the human person by giving an offen sive appearance to the body. Clean liness is valuable in itself, as a hy gienic rule, as an element of health, and as a preventive of contagions which give rise to disease, light or severe. Too much importance can not be given to cleanliness especi ally in the home and school. It. rests chiefly on the mothers to In sist on children giving attention to cleanliness—but the teacher can aid by example and advice. Perhaps one of the most vital points to be considered in caring for our wee men and women is that of diet. Thu infant comes into the world prepared by an Allwise Father to live a natural life, only too often to be forced bv unwise pa rents into a life utterly unnatural and health destroying. The most important knowledge a mother can possess is how to feed and train her little ones, so they shall have the rich heritage of a sound mind in a sound body. It is the attempt to give the little one material unsuita ble for building up its body and de priving it of food prepared by na ture, that causes so much trouble. Food eaten by children should be plain but wholesome, and it should lie varied. Rich pastry or sweet meats should be restricted, especi ally for luncheons when carried to school. The clothing should be full and loose, so that the body shall feel at ease in every garment. It should not be so heavy as to produce an uncomfortable warmth, but warm enough to prevent any feeling of cold. Activity is one of the essen tial conditions of health. We are nourished not by what we eat but by what we digest, and our limbs assist in this as well as our stom ach. The common idea of "hard ening" children is a grievous delu sion. Children not infrequent!} '•harden" out of the world. The life of a child should be shielded from everything which would have a tendency to impair bodily health, such as excessive brain labor. This will be the pur pose of a positive physical educa tion, which will comprise all the ex ercises and sports of childhood, all tne practices recommended by hy giene and all the movements which constitute gymnastics. Every child needs healthful exercise out of school hours, and it should be in the open air as much as the parent, can spare it. Some children spend all their time out of school study ing or reading, which is very trying on the nerves and should not he permitted, especially with nervous children. Parents, by watching, can see w'hen the child is overtaxed, but as a rule not many children care to study at home. It is true but sad, there is very little difference between the college graduate and the uneducated girl when it comes to the needs and cares of their little children. When this is true, can we wonder that men, kind, generous but misguided men, have made so many mistakes in regard to school work? I have the utmost faith in the willingness of men and women to do the right thing, provided they know what the right, the best thing, is. Let fathers mothers and school trustees once realize the vast importance of every thing in the school being the best for the physical education and de velopment of the child, and we will have it. til in in. , daughters of Rebckah of e Mountain Home will give a grand ^ ^ Hu n„ e rford's opera house on PV enjntr oi Feb 22nd 1901. . ?
