The Beginning of Education.
i
The chill is no sooner born than its
education may be said to begin. The first
gap of air the infant makes and - the pres
sure it feels at its mother's breast are les-
s ns learned. With each progressive stej
in the relationship of the child with persons
and things external to its nurse, its food,
the light and various other beings and ob
jects which may surround it, it is acquir
ing the elements which form the basis of
all education.
The earliest years of childhood are most
profitably spent in the development of those
observing faculties which the young exer
cise with instinctive readiness. Easily,
however, and spontaneously as the power
of observation of the child seems to act, it
must not he presumed "that all guidance,
on the part of the parent, nurse, or who
ever may have charge of it is supereroga
tory. Children niav be aided, from the
very earliest age, with great advantage
even in learning those objective lessons
which most of them are so forward in ac
quiring. Those who have the constant care of the
infant, or even they who may be only
brought into casual relation with it, can
seldom resist the invitation the little
creature, by its many endearing ways, gives
to notice. It thus, without any systematic
i-ffort, or even with a good deal of apparent
negligence, will secure for itself at times
the means it requires for the proper de
velopment of its observing powers. The
playful sympathy of the vivacious nurse
with her smiling charge will prompt the
trolling of a nursey dittj-, some lively ac
tion or other, or the presentation of a bright
object. The child may thus learn its most
essential lessons from teachers supremely
ieiiorant .of the useful instruction they give,
or even of the fact that they are instruc
tors. There are some, however, who are in
capable, from perversity of disposition or
want of natural animation, of responding
even to the invitation to mirth of an in
fant's smile. Such should never be al
lowed, if possible, to have charge of the
voung. A cheerful disposition should be
"rt"rarded as one of the most essential re
quisitions of a good nurse. Mothers should
moreover especially cultivate a lively man
ner with their children. All the surround
ings, if possible, of the child should be
Miimating, and objects noticeable from
brightness of color and distinctness of figure
ought to be placed within reach of his
daily vision. Somberness of dress of the
child and those who have constant charge
of it should be avoided. Among formal
observers of ceremony it is not uncommon
to make even the nurse, in case there
should be mourning in the family, drape
herself in the habiliments of woe in which
she can hardly have part. The baby even
. 1 1 A ...

of death before it lias begun to rejoice in
life. The sudden apparition of itself and
nurse in the deepest black, as it they hat.
been both dipped in an ocean of ink, can
not but have a withering effect upon an
infant with its tuec bediming to bloom
with the first miles of sjoyous existence.
Systematic intellectual education of the
child should be deft rred until it has reach et
the ace of six or seven years. Previous t
that period it may be allowed to pick up.
like Moses in the "Vicar of Wakefield," a
lnis-t'Uanccous education at home. Dur
ing the years of infancy, of course, there
will be no attempt to do more than arouse
and engage the observing powers by thost
3u-':.i;s wiiicii naturally sutrrest themselves
t' a sympathetic mother and a lively, crood
natured attendant. I snould be remem
bered that no well-constituted baby can
easily dispense with constant and animated
couirianionship. Movement is the first es
sential t f its early develpment, and it should
never be ado wed, except in sleep, to re
main torpid. Its limbs, its every feature
ana its wnoie oouv, m iact, wmcn are so
ready to respond in lively sympathy with
the least stir oi lire, outrht never to want
the provocatives to action they demand.
Those skillful teachers, the Germans, do
not admit any pupil into their most ele
mentary school before the age of six 3-ears
This i-j as early a period as most children
can be subjected to the discipline of svs
tcmatic stud'. Intellectual pursuits even
then cannot be persistently followed unless
combined with a careful training of the
phvsicial powers. Exclusive culture of the
mind is dangerous at all ages, but more
c-ixK-ially during the earliest.
While the bodily vigor is carefully pro
moted by abundance of good food, playful
excrise and cheerfulness of spirits, there is
very little risk of the young being intellec
tually overworked. 31ost, if not all, of
those children who are said to have broken
down under the weight of their studies
have not been injured by too much work
but too little play. If a proper care should
be taken to sustain a just balance between
the body and mind, both would be found
capable of much greater effort than either
is wont to exhibit, and -with the result of
increased robustness
. John htuart Mill tells us 111 his auto
biography that he began the study of Greek
at an age earlier than he could remember,
but which his friends assured him was
when he was only three years old. Before
he reached his teens he had traveled over
the vast domains of ancient classical and a
large portion of English literature. Al
though Mill placed a very modest estimate
on his natural powers he accomplished what
it will be safe to say was never accomplish
ed before at so early a period of life. It
would not only be absurd to attempt to ef
fect the same results by the same means in
most children, but if the experiment were
tried it would fail in ninety-nine hundred
cases out of ten thousand by the premature
extinction of mind or body, causing either
the death or idiocy, of those subjected to
the process. Harpers Bazar.
A tea swindler is plying his game quite
Buccessfull in some of the country towns,
lie sells a numher of five pound packages,
telling his customers that it is better not
to disturb the tea, but to use from the top
of the package. On examination it is
found that these five pound packages con
tain about one pound of tea the rest is
made up of wads of paper. Look out for
