As in chemical union compounds possess prn~. parties dill`ering from those of their con- stituents, so tho abilities and tendencies of children are frequeneutly dissimilar to those of parents. Genius is often of con- monplace parcntnge. The philosophic nrind deals with general principles ratlrcr than particular details, is capable of holding itself down on a given fact until it sees its difference from all other facts, learning thus to compare all facts of knowledge according to their llkenesses and difl`erences and view tircm to their lmrulonious relation to each other. i The large major-ity oi men see things isolated, not united in a eonrnron whole ‘ One fault of novelists, politicians and W Qvonsow FEDERATIQN the ability to see the infinite relations of things and group them in the wondrous ` harmonies that bespcak rhythnr of soul. Tire genius of Shakespeare, of Dante, of Sir Isaac Newton was no less present i in their childhood than in the aems of their splendor. 'l`here was no creation in I after lifc;ti|ne but unfolded their natures. We make the mistake that children think wrongly or ungrammaticaliy. A chllrl's intellect is conditioned on all sides by intellectual laws. No child ever thought ungrammutically, hut only the symbols of thought arc inaccurate.
