Isabel W. Ball, In Washington Star. A celebrated writer has given It ns hlB opinion that the best time to begin the education ot a child Is at least one hundred years before It Is born. This Is the till-einbracliiB Idea ot wnat is going to be undertaken by the delegates to the national congress of mothers, which convenes In the Arlington hotel on Wednesday, Feb. 17. If the Ideas of the thoughtful, earnest women who have worked with such untlagglng zeal to convene this congress of mothers could be embodied In one single sen tence, It Is probable that one quoted on their program would cover the ground. "Character cannot be talked Into or taught Into a child; It must be lived Into him." Doctor Clara Bliss Flnley, one of the bright progressive Washington women, ,vho Is particularly Interested In this jongress, believes Impllclty In this the )ry. And she thinks that what mothers juust have before they can become tit led for the caies of motherhood Is prac tical education for Its duties. It Is as good as a whole course of lectures on hygiene and health to hear her dis course on what "mothers ought to know about children," but it would scarcely be safe to print all that she thinks the most of them do not know, or, at least, the indifference they display in putting the little knowledge they possess into practice. "I think sometlme3 that most mothers look upon children that come to them as an Incident, or accident In their lives, rather than a part of God's great plan to people and Improve the world," she said, "and till wives come to regard the advent of children as the crowning glory of marriage, we cannot look for much Improvement In the morals of the home, or place great faith In the stabil ity of the government. Weak mothers and degenerate fathers wrecked imper ial Koine when she ruled the world. The same Inlluences immoderate love of wealth, ambition to shine as fashion's arbiter, love of display, the longing to fiway society, the greed for power in the political world, the accumulation of tremendous fortunes for self-aggrandizement all these aided In the downfall of Home, and thoy might lend to the downfall of our own grand republic If the canker of worldliness were permit ted to cat into the hearts of our Ameri can men and women any deeper. We don't want It to got to the point where it Is perceptible, and so we propose to begin in time. This first congress of mothers Is the first step In the grand Fcheinc. We are hopeful that out of It great good may come." ORIGINATED IN WASHINGTON. The Inception of this movement was evolved from the brain of a Washing ton woman, Mrs. Theodore Blrney, the happy mother of nine children. It has "widened with the process of the suns," till the whole world has been sot talk ing about It. Truly "a little child shall lead them," when Europe wakens up to send delegates to this congiess, and men of science all over the United States rise up and tell these devoted women that they have struck the key note of heroism at last, and wish them God speed For three months thou sands of ministers have made this mothers' congress the text for innum erable sermons. A paragraph from one old pastor serves to show how deep the plea for this congress has sunk Into the hearts of those who have lived long enough to appreciate the good that may come out of it. "How glad I am," says the writer, "to have lived until this day when such a convention as you have set for February Is possible and prospectively a realization. Won derful! I dato from the days when Samuel Adams, Thomas Jefferson and Alexander Hamilton were the great persons and actors. I was born before the United States had any history when It was not big enough to go out floors alone and had to have a bar or embargo to hold It back. Wlien Spain held America, even so much of what Is now our best, and cast her shadow so far over to our outer boundary that the memory of our danger awakens a gloomy and also a grateful emotion." Then the writer says that, if age did not incapacitate him, he would be glad to "blaze out upon this glad occasion, In both sermons and prayer." Letters of encouragement have poured Into the olilces of tho committee by the hundred from ministers and moth ers, fathers, and many people who are neither. The letters hi themselves Would be a magnificent symposium of bright thought and suggestion if they rould bo printed, and would doubtless ntd many a struggling' mother to bet ter light on the subject of child rear ing. JlltS. HEARST'S BENEVOLENCE. This congress Is unique in many ways. It is a little like Topsey.it just "growed," and, like a big snow ball, has gathered substance in its travels, till It has gone beyond the wildest hopes of the mothers Who first thought of it. Mrs. Theodore Blrney, who is president, was called away by tho Illness of her husband, Just when her dearest dreams of success Tor a lifelong projeat were about to be realized, and the management of the enterprise had to be placed in other hands. Those hands happened to be long to tho first vice president, Mrs. Phoebe Hearst, whose name has grown to be one to conjure with when philan thropic deeds are to be done. With great wealth at her command, Mrs. Hearst's sole Idea of Its value Is to use It in making the world better and happi er. One dny It Is a muslcale for her society friends, the next It is In estab lishing a kindergarten for street waifs. Here it is a girl who has brains, but no money to cultivate them, and tomor row it is perhaps to be a youth who bus latent within him great Inventive genius, and, like a. patron saint, Mrs. Hearst clve3 him the "chance'' that may one day make him famous. This congress of mothers appealed to Mrs. Hearst at once, and the money that has made It go, has been given ns; freely as though It grew on bushes, and she had but to pick it. The olilce of the busi ness end of the congress Is close to her homo, and she has been constantly con sulted. AVithout her material assist ance It never would have reached the point it haB, and too much praise cannot lie bestowed on this gentle, gracious wo man, who is so instant and ardent to lend a helping hand where real merit lies. She hopes for great'results from the meetings, and on looking over the programme It looks as though, she could not be disappointed The cabinet ladles, headed by Mrs. Cleveland and Mrs. Stevenson, have taken the liveliest Interest in everything pertaining to the congress, and tho press all over tho country, particularly the church and woman's magazines, have given tho matter the widest publicity. There Is no real organization. There are no by-laws, no constitution; there never was a petition, and tho women who have become the officers came to gether In the most unostentlous manner, slipped Into the offices by apparent nat ural selection, nnd have worked like Trojans bound together by their com mon Interest In humanity, nnd working without hope of emolument! A PRACTICAL PROBLEM. To tell the ground that they hope to cover with their work would be to sum up all that goes to make existence tol erable. The congress will consider subjects bearing upon the better and broader spiritual and physical as well as mental training of the young, such ns tho value of kindergarten work nnd the extension of Its principles to more advanced studies, a love of humanity nnd of country, the physical nnd men tal evils resulting from some of the present methods of our schools and ad vantages to follow from a closer rela tion between the Influence of the home and that of Institutions of learning. Of special Importance will be the subject of the means of developing In children characteristics which will elevate and ennoble them, and thus nsslst In over coming the conditions which now prompt crime and make necessary the maintenance of jails, workhouses and reformatories. There will be talks on physiclal culture, heredity, reproduc tion and natural law, dietetics, music, parental reverence, moral responsibil ity of women In heredity, child stu dies and many other subjects. All over the country "mothers' clubs" have been forming ever since this congress be came an assured fact, and these clubs will send their representative women to the congress to get new Ideas and have their own brightened up. Very naturally many of the moth ers present will not be talkers, and will be backward about even asking ques tions In the open congress. To get ex pressions from them and all others who wish to be heard in that manner, a question box will be on the table of the presiding officer. Into this all questions may be dropped, unsigned If desired, but fully stated, and at cer tain hours each day these question, distributed to the various members of the committees who seem best fitted to answer them, will be presented In "conference," the title that has been given to quiet little meetings that will be held at stated periods In smal ler rooms In the Arlington, and In charge of Frances Newton. THE NURSERY EXHIBIT. One of the practical things of the con gress Is the "Model Nursery," which will be fitted up In the Arlington, where mothers can see what a child's nursery should be like. In some re spects, of course, this will not be quite "model," for in real, up-to-date nur series no big mirrors would ornament the walls, and such a thing as a bit of drapery at the windows would give the model nurse heart failure, but bar ring those two anachronisms, the nur sery will be quite fin do slecle In all its appointments. There will be the very latest thing In bedsteads, and mat tresses, and pillows, In bathing robes, tubs, soaps, towels, night lamps and all the other paraphernalia of a well-appointed nursery. There will bo a small cabinet lltted up with medicines to be used in emergencies until the doctor arrives, and during the conference of Thursdny morning Dr. Clara Bliss Fln ley will give a talk on how to use these medicines, and It will probably be one of the most valuable subjects to mothers in the whole congress. This model nursery will be in charge of some lady who will explain all Its trap pings. There will be a model kinder garten, in which all the materials for a successful school of this character will be displayed and explained. One of the features of the congress that will be of Interest is the photo graph gallery. -This will consist of photographs of all the officers, and then each officer who has a family will have a photograph of herself and fam ily to hang on the wall. Mrs. Theo dore Blrney will head the list with her nine healthy examples of posterity, and Dr. Clara Bliss will bring up the rear with her cherished one daughter. WHO WILL ATTEND. Many distinguished people from a dis tance will be present at the congress and present payers, or talk on some subject.
