The reaper of death sweeping over Europe brlng's to our mind a thought worthy of more than casual consi deration. pet us look ourselves in the face, humanity, for the weal of posterity. In all parts ot the country schools are opening for the fall and winter terms, and much of the.future will de pend upon the training of t?e youth of today. ? ?? Never in our history was there a time when It was more imperative and eradicated. V . Never was there a time when the Inculcation ot brotherly love and a consideration for others was more urgently required. "The youth of today will be the men ot tomorrow, and as we train them now so will they be then. The burden rests heavily upon us. ? We expect the teacher in the school to transform our child Into a man ot learning and honor and integrity, but do we stop to consider that more depends upon the parent than upon the educator? The one cannot succeed without the co-operation of the other, but tbe two working earnestly and jointly will accomplish wonderful results. We should think before speaking. Harsh words and family Jars In the presence of a child gives it its first lesson in unrullness and puts a sharp edge to an awakening temper. It is naturally for the Infant, to copy the example of the parent As we expect from the teacher, let us give equally of our own store of patience and consideration. \ Infancy demands kindness, gentle ness and sympathy?not the austere aloofness of age, or the coldness at Indifference. ?A child is susceptible to training, but when It reaches man's estate op portunity has paeeed it by. Shall we heed the lesson of a word calmlty and face the duty that con fronts us? ?hall we look ourselves in the face? ?.Major F. W. Barber. Picnic at Lover's Leap.
