Child. The daily life of the family, with it! manners, conversation, occupations and interests, is new the main teacher; andas this is, so will the world and life of the child be. Though nothing can replace this, nevertheless it may be sn - plemented by the employment of Frenc and German governessea, who shall make their respective languages native to the child from the first. Such overnesses ought always to be train teachers, an . when employed,shonld be treated as members and trusted friends of the family. It is a great misfortune for a child who is to move in the higher walks of life not to have a complete command of the three world-languages. The lack of any of them greatly limits that free and easy contact with, men whichis essential to u practical know- ledge of them. Moreover, each lan- guage represents a distinct form of con- The I sciousness. and the more of these forms one has the freer and more sympathetic he is. The naturally bilingual man be‘ longs spiritually to two nationalites. But other things besides isngua es may be imparted unconsciously at this stage. Im rtant among these are right sym- pat lea and self control. In any educa- tion whose aim is moral autonomy noth- in is more essential than a correct dis’ tri mtion of sympathy or affection, or, to use the ancient phrase, than loving and hating well. Anti nothing is so much neglected in American education. The stupidly sentimental notion that the child must, under any circumstances, have a "good time" (as the vulgar phrase ‘.lfl)08l1!0l5 many arents to allow child‘ ren to follow t eir natural caprices. wasting their interest and affection upon trivial ox even hurtful things, and dis- regardin those that are worthy and benefit-in. There is :nothing that the child is so thankful for in the long run as the careful and kindly training of his affections, there is notbin that con- tributes so much to his mora worth and hsp iness. Closely connected with the resu tof this traimn is that self-control which is the esscnt-ia element in moral autonomy. In the child this takes the form of sustained attention, and courage tocarry out his wishes in defiance of (litlicnltics and instinctive shrinkings" ‘ forms both of which will be found 0f the utmost value in the subsequent l course of SfllB(fll!l0".-5"T11‘LF"U1Â¥PJ \thn the asylum at lirockville isi mady for occupation lllU patients will l he transferred from liockwood asylum t to the new institution. 7 ment.
