_Sentiments_.--Children are greatly pleased by a visit to a candle-factory. It is indeed very agreeable to see how candles used by so many people are made. When we can satisfy our desire for instruction we feel pleasure and contentment. _Volition_.--What should we do with the fat of pigs if we did not know how to make it into stearine? What should we do with wax if we did not know how to utilize it? Man is able to work and to transform many products into useful substances and objects. Work is our life. Blessed be the workers! Let us also love work and devote ourselves diligently thereto. (N.B.--The children are all to listen without moving.) Any kind of lesson may be based on the same psychical plan, even a moral lesson. For instance: _Moral education derived from the observation of actions_. (N.B.--The actions are all invented and narrated.) _Agreeable manners. Incident_.--"Is it true, Miss, that the village church is more than a kilometer from here? My mother has ordered me to go there. I thought I had arrived, and I was so pleased. I have come a long way, and I am so very, very tired." "Indeed," replied the girl, who was standing at the gate of her home, "you are still a kilometer and a half from the church. But come through my gate, and take the short cut I will show you through my fields. You will get to the church in five minutes." What an amiable girl! _Successive relations of cause and effect_.--The village girl showed amenity to the little traveler. The latter reached the church quickly, was saved much fatigue, and felt great relief. _Memory_.--Have you always been pleasant to your companions? Have you always been ready to lend a comrade anything he has asked for? Have you always thanked those who have done you favors in an agreeable manner? _Comparison, association, abstraction_.--Comparison between an agreeable child and a boorish one. _Judgment, reasoning_.--Why is it necessary to be courteous to all? Is it sufficient to give help solely to show oneself to be amiable? _Sentiments_.--He who is amiable has a soul rich in sweetness and suavity. What sympathy he evokes in all! The disagreeable person is irritated by trifles. He excites disgust and fear in others. He who is affable shows love to his neighbor. _Volition_.--Children, accustom yourselves to be pleasant to every one. You should be pleasant when you are conferring some favor, otherwise the favor will seem irksome. When you want something, do you ask for it arrogantly? If so, it will be easier to say no than yes to you. On the other hand, if you ask politely for something, will it not be difficult to refuse you?
