The one word that more than any other signifies that development of mental cepacitY may be anticipated in a child, and that most desirable, ipiat- ity of thinking for oneseif, "why." The child that is: eeaselesily asking "why" is a rieli promise of the man or woman to he. To be sure, the ceaseless questioner is often a tax oti attention, patience and mental resources. But all this is an exercise that adds to the solid fiber of mind and character of the parent. And is it not due the inquiring mind of the coming man and woman that they should receive the knowledge ehey craVe I It is far better the child's mind should be vigorously ex- ercised in questioning, in finding for itself, than it should be exercised in merely repeating what another mind has stored.
