CHILD TRAINING. 



Some months ago we published an essay on the sub- 

 ject of child-training, written by Miss Sarah W. Smith 

 principal of the Medina primary .schools. This was so 

 favorably received at its first reading that there was 

 a general desire to have it read before a larger circle 

 and it was accordingly given before the parents of 

 Medina. At that time there was a general expression 

 on every side to have it published, as it was felt that it 

 would do a world of good. The result was it was 

 printed in the Home department of this journal A 

 thousand extra copies in book form were then struck 

 off. The.se were taken in such a .short space of time 

 that there was a call for more. Finally we decided to 

 get out a newer and better edition, and now have it 

 ready ju.st from the press. The little book contains 

 2.-) page.s bound in a tinted cover. As it has already 

 enlightened thou.sands of parents, we put it out again 

 in this new form so that it may enlighten thousands 

 more. We feel safe in saying' that it will be the 

 niean.s through the parents of developing manv a 

 child into a higher and better type of manhood ind 

 womanhood; and that is not all— the effect of parents 

 will be almost equally great. Many of our readers- 

 mast of them, in fact— know something of the pure 

 gold contained in this booklet, and we have thouo-ht 

 that many of them would be glad to send extra copies 

 to their friends, and especially to those whose govern- 

 ment in the home, through ignorance, is any thint^ 

 but what It ought to be. The price of the book is o 

 cts., postpaid; 12 copies for 40 cts., postpaid 



A KIND LETTER AND A KIND APOLOGY. 



Dear 5/;.v.— Since seeing in Gleanings my letter of 

 a recent date I have heartily repented, and mo.st 

 humbly beg your pardon. The letter looks bad in 

 print, and never should have been written The like 

 will not occur again, as I am fully convinced that you 

 will do the be.st you can in filling orders, and I .shall 

 in future patiently await my turn. E B Fo.ster 



Oceola, Crawford Co., O., June 9. 



My good friend F., I mo.st freely and fully grant 

 you pardon; in fact, I do not see how I can blaml you 

 and the other friends, under the circum.stances You 

 say you will patiently wait your turn in the future. 

 Well, dear friend, we are going to try hard .so that 

 tnere will not be any repetition of the sad experience 

 ot this past season. We are now negotiating for a .500- 

 horse-power Ideal engine, and we are also planning 

 tor a new and larger factory. More than that, we are 

 going to commence, just as soon as this rush is over 

 to .store up goods ahead for another season. I omitted 

 to say in niy footnotes, in our previous issue, that the 

 goods had been shipped three days before your letter 

 reached us; .so I presume your goods were at hand and 

 in use, even before your letter was put in print. Do 

 not feel bad about the letter, friend F., for it mav do 

 us good all round to get the matter fairly and square- 

 ly before us, both producer and consumer —A I R
