One of the best signs of the times is the now general realisation, largely due to a woman, that the day on which to begin educating a child is the day on which it is born.

Those old ages, Solomon and Aristotle, held that the purpose of education was to correct certain wayward dispositions and undesirable propensities with which we are born.

Among those propensities was the restlessness of girls their "volatility" the old schoolmistresses eslled it. Modern life has the opposite effect. It excites and exaggerates restlessness. That perhaps is ita most unfailing sebierement. It feeds and intensifies the unsettlement of the age,
