DISTRIBUTORS Tbs Way a Child Dooi It Is an Index to Its Character. It Is very often the little things that children tin which give the best ludt cation of what their future characters will be. Schoolteachers, for Instance, have a first rote opportunity for watch ing the different traits in the children who come before them. In their work and In their play the sort of mail or woman the child will become is daily unfolded. In such a small matter even as the sharpening of a pencil valuable hints may be obtained by any one In the least observant. Here it may easi ly be discovered whether a boy or girl is careful, destructive, wasteful or eco nomical. The boy, foe instance, who sharpens his pencil Into a stub Is Inclined to he economical, careful and quick In after life. The hoy or girl who takes an inordinately long time to make a slen der point, cutting very precisely and regularly all the time will usually prove to lie of an artistic and dreamy disposition. The child who. regardless of the look of the pencil, gouges out great pieces in order to get to the tend will allow Impulsiveness am I generos ity. Mere dcstruetiveness. however, be comes apparent wheu a child takes a delight In Hitching Ills knife In Ms pen cil and splitting It »r destroying It In some other way.
