Some system should be established mak
ing an analysis of a child's mind and a study ,
: of its especial needs, a part of the prepara
tion fof entering school,-and then the chll-'
dren should be classified. ' :
1 Are the public schools 'developing tn the
most effective way the- pupil's power of self
control? , If not, wherein ties the remedy? y
; No, a thousand times no. ' ' ' ' " , ' ' ' ' '-' .
a There should be two-minute Aalks' on self'
control .given every; day, to pupils. '
' , Each pupil should be made, to understand
what self-control Jis. i Tq the . majority - ot
mature people la the world today the word
has little meaning. , . ,
Do you think that explicit teaching of
morals, and religion la practicable or desir
able? .
No creeds should be taught In schools.-: But
re-verence for the Creator of this mighty unl- "
verse should be Imparted with such lesaons as
botany, natural history and astronomy
, Remind the children that with all man's"
vast learning and power he cannot 'make a
single seed, or star, pr .animal, and that the
Intelligence which conceived the worlds' .
'about and above us should be' thought of i
with reverence. ' ' .
In morals .there Is no greater factor, than
the oelf-controi already mentioned.
Marty people think Self-control means self
preservation. . ' , ,
Children hould be taught 'that. It means
,' controlling-'the unworthy impulses onlyj and
that each time anger, indolence, greediness
or. self Icihne ss is controlled, it Is one step
toward a higher education and toward suc
' cess in life. , , '
. To study when , you feel ; like' loafing, to
persevere with a problem when you want to
Ask some one- else to solve It for you; to go dl
, rcctly to school or home when you want to lag,
to shut your lips close when you want to say
unkind Words, to put your pennies In a bank
-vwhen you want to buy candy all those are
steps toward higher education, and they all
moan self-control - ' ,
Continual brief referenceto. these facts as

Should the duties of citizenship be taught
