There is a voluminous literature
smitten on the duty and responsibility
ofiithae mother, but nothing do'I re-
member to have read on the father’s
share. .
Does this mean that the father’s
share is too slight to mention or too
well looked after to need any discus-
131011 ‘3 The old-time father was father,
teacher, priest, all in one. The mod-
ern father is scarcely even father.
“In that important period of the
chifd’s life that comes after school the
father must laya solid foundation of
influence with the child. The father
who said, ‘Oh, leave all the training of
theehildren to their mother,’ was a

in the first instance, the things the
father does wtih, to, orfor the child.
“The most important, and indeed
the essential part-10f the child’s
education is that which relates to de-
ciding the tumor service the child~

. Here the father’s share becomes
slightly differentiative. ' His Share is
not like the mother’s share, f01 it is
not her business to know the outside
world as the father knows 1t.
His part is not the teacher’ s part,
though the teacher can Often give

seems to be both positively pernicious
and to bar the way to a deeper sympa-
izhy with the child than would be pos-
' (sible between a perfect and an erring
child. The father is bound to make
mistakes in dealing with the child.
Let him frankly acknowledge them
some child at the time. and ask the
child’s pardon, 2125 he would ask the
pardon of an adhlt. Do not be afraid
offalling in the child’s estimation by

It is a stupid child indeed who doesn’t

per or has gone to work in the wrong
way.
"Modern civilization has given the
father hard lines. The history of civili-
zation has been a history of the lopping
off, one by one, of the prerogatives and
powers and possible sources of influence
of the male parent.”

The surest way to keep cool is to stop

If a man knew how happy or unhappy

It seems as though God made the

With all the reports .of burglaries

asks,» “What is the father’s duty?”
Many a poor man at this season would
reply: “To pay the board bill that his
