The Wise Mother.

Every mother should by tact and kindness try to bring out the best that is in her children, for she and she alone understands their temperament.

Of course they must have time for romping and playing, for no child can be truly happy unless he has a full share of play, but his good times should not by any means Intrude X>n his studies. A wise mother is she who keeps in' touch with her children’s school work, who calls on their teachers occasionally for a friendly chat. By so doing she knows to a certainty how* her little ones are progressing, and if they lose enthusiasm she encourages them to better efforts. Children who are started right at home always make a good showing in school, and the mother who hopes to see her child advance along educational lines must, without a question, cooperate with his teacher.— Pittsburgh Dispatch.
