FOR OUR CHILDREN.
“There are rich men who. having made their own fortunes iroin very small beginnings, talk of desiring the same struggle lor their children. Their supposition is that their hoys and girls will thus become better and happier men and women. But there is much loose thinking in the theory. It is rarely possible for a parent to give his child exactly the same start that lie had himself. He can give it the same poverty, hut this might he a gross unfairness if he cannot make sure that lie has also given it just the same physical stamina, the same successful tempera ment. the same desire for dominance that he had himself. It is a safer rule that we should do by our children not merely as well as we were done by, hut as well as we can without affecting the general good. It is neither through wealth or want of it that humanity s best work has been done."—The “ Evening Standard.”
