THE PASSING OP THE
MOTHER.
The newspapers of the principal
cities of the nation have been
calling attention to a large in
crease in the demand for child
ren’s nurses. Some have pointed
to this with a seeming exultancy
as the opening of a field for wo
man's hands, recognizing that the
toueh ,of the wcrfiian is necessary
in the rearing of mankind. Asa
result it has been seriously advo
cated that the young women who
intend to be self supporting should
take up the work of ohild-uursing
as au employment that is pleas
ant, remunerative and far-reach
ing iu its results.
On the other hand the, demand
has a serious side, a side that is
more a subject for alarm than of
satisfaction. The need of a nurse
for the children means iu most
cases that the mother feels that
her time can be better engaged in
Borne other calling other than
caring for her offspring. It indi
cates a desire to shift the cares
incident to motherhood to the
shoulders of another. It portends
the passing of the mother and
such portenBion augurs ill to fu
ture generations.
In lasting results the child
reared by its mother—even though relns
she be entirely ignorant of the
principles of modern “scientific
child-raising”—has an infinite
admutago over the uurae-fostered
child. Into the life of the former
has come a subtle touch the latter
never knew. The little one learns
at the mother’s knee lessons born
of a tenderness foreign to the best
of nurses. His nature is softened
and bettered through its contact
with the faith, sweetness and holi
ness of motherhood. Heart-hurts
and body-bruises are for him
healed with a kiss and he early
learns where hie tale of childish
woe will find relief in au under
standing sympathy springing
from a love as boundless as the
universe. These lessons are last
ing and imperciptibly mould
characters into their fullest capa
bilities. Innumerable examples
testify to it. The greatest men of
every nation have given the credit
for their greatness to their moth
ers. The very name revivifies the
best sentiments of the race. The
holiest and dearest memories clus
ter about the days spent with
mother and the most precious
treasures are those little things—
valueless iu themselves—which
she had prized.
The child reared by a nurse
misBes these elements. Too often
a harsh word from his care-taker
shocks the developing soul and
lack of understanding blunts the
growth of a budding mighty pur
pose. In later years and iu times
of temptation he has no memories
of the mother aud her faith to fall
back on to strengthen him for the
struggle. Cold, philosophic, ethics
are less stable than the ethics,—
blind perhaps—that had their
birth in the earnest teachings of
the mother-love. The ohild fos
tered by the nurse has missed one
of the sweetest things in life, lost
one of the great uplifting powers
of humanity. And so, for the
sake of the after years and the
memories they will bear, it would
be infinitely better if motherhood
were to refuse to abdicate to nurse-
hood.—Savannah News.
One Good Reason.
We have heard people Bay that
they could always find at least one
thing to lie thankful for, and they
would enumerate several things,
always rejoicing that they were
not blind or lame or deaf or dumb
—and it is true that those are
good reasons for thankfulness.
But if we were going to enumerate
our fir-t exclamation of joy would
be because we are not a politician
and waut nothing to do with poli
tics.
We can reverently thank God
that wo are of different architec
tural construction. The fights on
in the different counties where we
happen to be acquainted, are
enough to destroy the Brother
hood ot Man. Good men are ma-
lingod and traduced: splendid
citizens are slandered and bled—
all iu the name of politics, and it
does seem that if the devil is still
working his mystic charm over
this siu-curs«d world he is doing
his greatest and most effective
Btuuts under the guise of a polls
ciau. It is a wise man who stands
from under the falling ciudcts.—
Everything.
Anybody can talk about build
ing railrouds and hotels—talk
cheap—money is what counts.
The election is at last over and
the papers will take up the Japa
nese war again.
