As the tender bud requires the sunshine, air, and water for its development, so the child, to unfold all its powers and inborn faculties, requires the sunshine of kindness and sympathy, an atmosphere of love and a rich spiritual and physical nourishment. Who can administer all these elements so essential for the blossoming of the child’s soul more tenderly than a mother? And where an inscrutable destiny has taken her away, those who stand in her place must be inspired with her deep love and affection, her tender heart and her keen vision into the child’s being.
