"What's in a Name?" is impossible to have a nation of great men and women _valess great women instruct the children during their impressionable years. The tragedy of leaving children to aid hirelings who have a distorted dex of education and perhaps little, callow culture is disastrous. I once called at the home of a lady uplayed just such a "gov "My friend was not at home—but her little boy, when heard my voice, escaped from nurse who was bathing him in th and -eame running out—adorable little Cupid im-The governess, started to lecture him for appearing without is clothes. until, thoral em-not knowing why, he yan back to the bathroom weeping.
