from their parents, obey no one but the servant, and listen to nothing but what she tells them! Nor is this strange, so long as this servant takes charge of the child from the moment he rises: she dresses him, feeds him, takes him to

school and on his walk and even to bed, so that the child grows used to falling asleep only when his servant is at his side.

Issam once stood up in class and raised his hand, asking to speak. When I allowed him to talk, he began telling his classmates a strange story with neither meaning nor moral. I soon stopped him, and then asked him who had told him this story; he said it was the servant who had told it to him, and that she tells him new stories every day. This is one example among many that pass before me every day, and I grieve with all my heart for that mother who does not trouble herself to give her children tangible and effective care. What prevents such a mother from taking charge of every one of her child's affairs? Do not the newest theories of education advise every mother to rely on no one but herself in her child's upbringing, if she wants that child to grow up in the good and wholesome way she wishes for him? And then, what is the mother doing, if it is the servant who tends the child and does the housework alone, without her mistress's help? Would it not better become the accomplished lady to tend her young planting herself, so as to present it to society in the future as a tree strong of wood, strong of stem, and good of fruit — so that her son becomes a source of pride and honor to her and to the milieu from which he comes?

And I address this question especially to the cultured ladies of our society. Why did you get your education, madam, and in what do you employ your learning and your culture? Is it not so that you yourself may profit by them, and your society profit through you? Perhaps you will answer that you take part in a number of charitable, cultural, and educational associations; but such an answer is nothing but an excuse for the slackness of many women in giving sufficient attention to their homes and their children. What logic permits us to give away to others a medicine we possess, at the very

moment when we ourselves stand in the direst need of it?

Your children have a better claim to your attention than anything else; nature has consecrated you to them and laid upon you toward them a great duty which you may not neglect. Motherhood, madam,

places upon your shoulders great responsibilities that demand of you sacrifice, diligence, and the giving of yourself for the sake of your little ones. Education is an art, and art is never splendid unless it draws its wellspring from a soul brimming with devotion and sincerity.
