Training the little Folks. -
Many evils follow in the train of Vspiiit
of intolerance, and it is this spirit into
which the willfulness of a little , child of
ten develops. The waywardness of a pret
ty baby is at times amusing, and there ia
a disposition to make light of Childish
ebullitions of temper, but the lesson of self
control cannot be taught too early, and
none can deny that the parents who have
bequeathed this inheritance to their chil
dren have given them that which is of fax. I
more value than all the wealth of Qol-
conda.
The attempt to keep your children In
ignorance of stories about ghosts, fairies,
giants and gypsies will certainly prove
'futile. If they are of nervous and imagin
ative temperament, they will invent new
terrors for themselves instead of the old
traditional ones. A little girl of 6, who
had been jealously guarded against any
acquaintances with nursery bogies and
superstitions, suffered from night terrors
of a severe kind, in which she always
screamed out that she was being chased
by robbers. But, while it may be prac
ticable to protect children from a knowl
edge of . the supernatural and mysterious,
it is inexcusable to frighten them with
hideous stories or to leave them, a prey to
the terrors of the solitude and darkness.
