KEEPING THE CHILD STRAIGHT

Wise Advice on the Subject Is That Given by Writer in a Chicago Newspaper. When children are prevented from having a good time at home they will go where their high spirits will have a chance. It is up to you to make your home a place where the children will have their best time. If you do, you will find less desire on their part to leave it. It may cost a little money; the noise may be annoying to you, but isn’t a little money and a little noise a small price to pay to keep the kiddies home? When children are much on the streets or in questionable company is it any wonder that they acquire bad habits? To keep your children sweet, pure and honorable should be your constant aim. Before you become a parent you should consider that you will have to make many changes in your mode of living; that yot# will have many vexations. But the children will more than make up to you for all you must deny yourself. Nothing is so sweet as the heart of a little child unless it is the hearts of two little children. —Chicago Examiner.
