MEMORY IN CHILDREN
OVER-CULTIVATION OF BRAIN A
SERIOUS MISTAKE.
Intellectual Development Largely a
Matter of Environment?Preco?
cious Infant Rarely Makes
Good Early Promises.
Much to the easement of our social
amenities, the precocious child has
gone out of fashion. No longer have
we to stlflo yawns and to smile while
our Angers tingle from a desire to
smack as a baby prodigy recited
Shakespeare or gives impromptu
scale-practice on thu piano.
In fact, the tondency is the other
way; we are on the upswell of a Rous?
seau movement and the dear babies
arc being turned out to do gardening
and to cultivate powers of observa?
tion apart from books and pen and
ink; the nursery has become a me?
nagerie and botanical museum, and
that her boy or girl of seven is ig?
norant of th? alphabet is the latest
and proudest boast of the loving
mother
A change all to the good, surely, did
It not seemingly take as much time,
trouble and teaching to keep up a con?
dition of book lgnorauce as of book
knowledge.
What is considered bralu develop?
ment In a child is nearly always a
matter of memory and adaptability.
Just a parrot-like quality strongly de?
veloped. The ch id Just remembers
and Imitates.
One has this shown very clearly in
the hlstoricil records of royalties.
Where the young prince or princess
has, through the pressure of state af?
faire, been obliged to live surrounded
by diplomatists and ministers, the
child has picked up the Jargon In the
most astonishing fashion.
Have we it not on record that when
Mary, Queen o# Scots, as a child of
eight years, met her mocher at Rouen,
the little queen's reply to the ma?
ternal caresses was the Inquiry:
'What factions continued to exist In
the noble families of Scotland?" and
"whether the English still harassed
her native country; whether worship
remained pure and the prelates and
clergy did their duty?"
At eleven she quotes Plutarch, and
at twelve she writes an essay on the
demeanor and duties of princes,
couched In the language of an elderly
statesman. Yet, though a brilliant
woman, who can say that Mary Stu?
art's later life was remarkable In wis?
dom and diplomacy? Her precocity
was Just the repetition of the senti?
ments and expressions she heard
about t'-r
4 it not one hazard the opto
'on that s weighting of the memory
her faculties and gives a
r < y the precocious child so
early becomes a distinct rocket?Its
light and fizzle and glare all ended be?
fore maturity is reached. Perhaps
it Is this consciousness which makes
us all have 0 feeling of pity for the
precocious cl ild and to rejoice so
heartily that Juvenile displays no
longer shadow our aftemoona. In
some things at least we make tor prog?
ress.?Exchange.
Honest Election.
Much of the grim humor one hears
among practical politicians has to do
with these lncorruptlbles who owo
their positions to corruption. A case
in point is that of a member of the
supreme court of a western state, who
began his career by running for con?
gress. The story was told to mo by
one of the workers who secured his
election.
"One day the candidate met me,**
said my informant, to whom I had
been introduced by a practical poli?
tician, as he took me Into his confi?
dence and t>ogan to talk as one briber
might to another, "and asked me how
things were going In a certain dis?
trict
" 'Fine/ I replied. 'You will have a
good majority fhere.'
" 'I am not surprised.' he said en?
thusiastically. 'When I was speaking
there I made the best speech that I
made in the whole campaign.'M
The worker nudged ino as he said:
"It cost us Just $7,000 to win that par?
ticular district for him, and he
thought his speech did If?The
Forum.
Elephant f/ost Intelligent.
Tho elephant Is by a long shot the
most intelligent animal under man.
Some horses know u great deal, Borne
dogs aro exceedingly bright, but for
real sound sense end all around loin'
beadednoae the elephant heads the
list. He Is not only blight, be Is a
deep thinker and profound jihiloso
pher. and has b< ell known to do
things that apparently required noth?
ing less than human intelligence.
Head the books that have to do with
animal Intelligence, with the wonder?
ful thing! thai our dumb fellow beings
have done, tin! while you will find
1 much to the cr dll of the d<>g, horse
and other animals, you will i>o iin
preased with the faci thnt. next to

is the Kroate I among them all.

! SCHOOL IMPROVEMENT
ASSOGIAliON COLUMN
Christmas brings happlneaa t??
nearl) all. it la the iim? when peo?
ple) both < !?i and young in nearly
every country( receive gifts. Let ua
j try to make the thought of gi\ing
overshadow the thought of getting.
Giving la truly the great joy of the
Christmas tide.
Tiie following suggestions for
Christmas gifts are from the Pri?
mary Education." ? instead of paint,
which is called for In many of tins.'
gifte, the design may be made with
colored crayoua, or simpler still,
from bits of coh red paper, cut and
pasted in place:
? | know that a almph little Chrlat
mas card often brings a ra;. of cheer
to a sad heart. So, children o' mine,
you shall make some.
We will cut out a huge star, paint
the edges gold and in the center paste
a picture cut from magaalnea of the
Madonna or Christ-Child; or else we
will cut three white atari tying one
below the other with narrow blue
ribbon and the worda, "Merry, Mer?
ry, Christmas' on each star.
Another card would be pretty with
a bine tree acene Hi" conea lying
earel.ssly on the snow.
Still another way to make a pretty
card would be to paint a spray <d' led
ly tied with ribbon, at tin- top of the
card, a golden star at the bottom, and
a "Rising sun scene," at one side and
on the middle of the carda the worda:
"A happy Christmas to you
For the light of life la horn,
And His coming is the sunshine
< ?f the dark and wintry morn."
Another card aurely would be pret?
ty with a chain of bells wound caro
leaaly about it and the worda:
"The time draws mar the birth of
Christ,
The moon is hid, the night is still;
The Christmas bells from hill to hill
Answered each other In the mist."
I know you and I would be glad to
receive a card with bells painted on it
as though just tossed there and the
words:
"I heard the bells on Christmas Day
Their old familiar earola play,
And wild and sweet the words repeat
Of peace on earth, good will to men."
Wouldn't the children enjoy mak?
ing this one? Paint a Chrlotmaa tree,
gay with red candles, and gifts, and
the worda:
"Tall and Straight and fair to see
Stands the green Clad Christmas tree.
Here are the candles all aglow
To light the branches high and low;
GIfta in plenty there Will be,
Some for you s;nd some for me,
And we'll laugh and clap with glee,
Dancing 'round our Christmas tree."
If this were given to some aged
person. 1 wonder whether it would
not awaken happy memorlea of child?
hood days.
Yet another card which would ful?
fil its mission might beat the scene of
the wise men arid their camela and
the Christmas star.
Here Is a nice one to send to some
alck little friend: Cut a big stocking.
Paint it gaily. Cut amall gifts such
aerated, drum, top, book, etc., and
paste on the stocking. On the toe
of the stoeking write, "These are the
thlnga I hope Santa Claus will bring
you."
1 fhink we ought to make aome
Christmas booklets. 1 saw the dear
> at one not h?ng ago. What tender,
holy thoughts it would awaken. It
waa made of white paper and the
j side decoration was a tiny scalloped
I edge of geld, and gold stars sprinkled
promtecuouoly about. The Ural page
i ore the words:
"Ami there were in the same coun?
try shepherds abiding in the field
keeping watch over their Hock by
night."
The second chapter was compoaed
of:
i
"And lo, the ang< I of the Leid
came upon them, and the glory of
the Lord shone round about them, and
they were more afraid."
I
j? h pier ill.
I "And the angel Bald unto them
j "Fear not, for, behold, l bring you
g.i tidings of great Joy, which ahull
he to rtii people.
chapter IV,
"For unto you is horn this day in
the city of David, u Bavlour which Is
< hi ist the |.. rd."
I
i Tell un honestly, wouldn't >ou ? n
Joy getting a book |||(o that, especially
'if made h) childish hands?
j Quotation ).kleta are very good,
hearing the quotations <>f Edwin S.
Martin.
( ome, Christmas, with thy message
dear
Anj all tiiy gentle mirth;
To teach that love shall cast out fear
And peace shall reign i>n earth."
Another one of his verses is good:
"God bless all givers and their gifts
And all the giftless too,
And help them by whai \*< r shifts
Their kindly will to do.
When seasons which our hearts ex
pa nd
I ?ur purs* s fail to till.
A w ord or smile, a clasp of hsnd
shall carry our u.1 will"
Ihr?' is another thought for the
quotation hoo]<; '\f instead of a
gt m <ir even a Rower, we could east
the gift id' a lovely thought Into tho
heart of a friend, that would be giv?
ing as the angels give." %
Can you Imagine a Christmas gift
which is apt to do more good than this
quotation ?
"May every sou! that touches thine.
Me it the slightest contact, get there?
from some good,
Sonn- little grace, on,- kindly thought;
<>ne Inspiration unfelt before; one hit
of courage
For the darkening si<>; one gleam of
faith ! "
How some "Christmas Scrap Hooks-'
would cheer little sick folks! Pictures
of Santa, reindeer, chimneys, bells,
*? 'hristmaa trees, etc.
Another little hook which would
bring joy could he made of pictures
eut from magazines, of Chinese, Japa?
nese. German, etc., children. The
cover bearing the words. "The chil?
dren of all countries wish you a
Merry Christmas."
A Baby booklet would he novel.
Mellin's Food Babies or other babies
could he utilized and oil the cover the
words, "The American I'.ahUs send
Christmas greetings."
A little hook with its leaves cut like
a holly leaf?the cover one painted
green?with Christmas quotations
would be nice.
cd' course we ought to make some
blotter pads, tying blotters with rib?
bon and painting something pretty
on the outside one.
Then too, I believe we ought to
make some needle books?I am cer?
tain mother and auntie would appre?
ciate them. We! will scallop some
pieces of white llannel and sew them
together. Then we will cut gotr.? card
hoard covers, paint a gold star on the
outside and the words:
"Christmas comes but once a y?v?r;
Christmas always brings good cheer."
On the other cover of another
needle-book we will paint posts and a
ehuhes line, then we will cut little
stockings, paint them in fancy de?
sign and paste them on the line, paint?
ing a clothespin on the top. Selow
we will write
"May Santa RII to overllowing
Your stockings every Chrlatmss
time."
The dear old gradmothers wit ap?
preciate some pin-cushions- no mat?
ter if tin- stitches aren't very even.
And grandfather, I'm sure would
treasure a p, n-vviper made heart
shape with button hole edges. I am
afraid be would think it far too beau?
tiful to use.
Then on ru Ma days, some of those
pretty boxes we have made COUld be
converted into handkerchief, collar,
and Jewel hexes. Pin holders, needle
books, whisk broom holders, trays
tied with ribbon would he w ?von just
full of love, I know.
We could have had some jolly
times making match scratchers, a
back view of pussy?eut of heavy
cardboard, and a square of sand-pa?
per past.d on the middle of pussy's
hack would he funny. ( >r. we could
cut a large circle of white cardboard,
and. paint two gray pussies sitting on
a fence looking at the moon. A' the
lower right side we could paste a
square of sand paper, and right be?
low liiat paste a folded prism to hold
the matches. This would be useful als
weil as ornamental.
