Care for Young Plants and Children

THERE is a great deal of wise suggestion for teachers in the following quotation: "I passed a florist so absorbed with his 'cuttings' that he did not hear my 'Good morning' till twice spoken. 'I beg your pardon, sir,' said he, 'but you see one must put his whole mind on these young things, if he would have them do well; and I cannot bear that one should die on my hands, for I should almost feel as if I had murdered it by neglect. Young plants need a great deal more care than old ones that are used to storms and blight.'"

There is no need to write out the thoughts which these words start in our minds.—Westminster Teacher.
