SOMETHING FOR PARENTS.

By Editor

How to instruct, interest, and properly train children is one of the great problems which parents have to solve, and to those who seek the good of their children (and what parent worthy of the name does not?) it is a problem worthy of profound and careful study.

The SIGNS OF THE TIMES wishes to help all such. We have endeavored to do this in the past. We wish to do it more definitely in the future. Not that we shall attempt to train the children; the parents under God must do that. Our work will be to offer suggestions to parents which they may reduce to practise, adapted to the various complex bodies and minds which children possess.

For this purpose we have secured a number of articles from Prof. Frederick Griggs, principal of South Lancaster Academy, on Nature Study. The following articles are already in hand:—

Purpose of Nature Study, Some Principles of Nature Study, Expression, Changes in Animal Life, A Few Suggestions for the Study of Animals.

These articles will soon begin in our Home department, and will continue till closed. They will be illustrated, and we are sure that parents can obtain help from them in various branches of nature study. Call the attention of parents to these articles.
