It is Just in this drpreased time that wo can uefully recall the lovely line, "courage, galety, and the qulet_mind," and we should con- sclously strive to gift these to our children.

Whatever our doubts, our depres- sions, it is our first duty to encourage the happy natural development of our children so far as lies within consclously our power, and if we
