Let the children "run wild" without at first teaching them even rudiment- ary truths about the trees. grass, flowers, birds, animals or fishes.

Do not let them memorize nmes only, but teach them to memorize sensa- tions. Teach them the soreness ad A curious ignorance, gilded with a happy enthusiasm, is better than the labeling, pressing, analyzing knowl- edge that plnys a large part in modern "nature study." The best kind of outdoor study is contemplation. Get a notebook, I book on botany, a book on birds, if you will, and pack your mind with fixed and irrevocable facts. But do not teach your child on that principle. There is the paper; a clean sheet of paper. There is the pen. There is the ink.

Never go near the ink bottle when you are angry. Don't make excuses for not having written before. There are few rea- sons for procrastination that ring true. Devote no space in your letter to disappointment because the recipi- ent waits so long to reply. Perhaps there is a reason you do not guess.

You might say the same thing with a disarming smile, but the smile doesn't appear in the ink. If you have won a great success, only mention it when you write to your mother.

If the recipient-unless it be your mother--. is able-bodied and has had a good education and fails to answer your first letter and your second letter, take a lesson in pride and do not write a third. If your letters are welcome, they will bring replies. In writing a letter put yourself in the position of the person who will read it. If you are writing to one who is resentful or quick-tempered, avoid Jokes; never make comparisons; leave out all criticism of the recipient or of others who are common acquain- tances. Never write, "Burn this." It is a long way to the furnace down- stairs. Never write, "Don't show this to So-and-So."
