    　　Black Americans have served with honor in every American military action, though this often not written in history books. Even though black men begged to be allowed to serve in the Revolution War, they served well. During the Revolution War a black man named Eastbrook captured Royal Army's General Prescott Newport and Peter Salem, a black, killed Major Pitcairn as he was enjoying his victory at Bunker Hill.

    　　Though whites had long believed that blacks could neither command nor use firearms, blacks fought bravely. In 1863, William Carney received the Congressional Medal of Honor for his role in battles.

    　　During World War Ⅱ over 40,000 black solders served in the army forces. Dories Miler, a black, was one of the first heroes in this war.

         Madame de Stael says that only the people who can play with children are able to educate them.For
    success in training children, the first condition is to become a child oneself.It means to treat the child as
    really one's equal, that is, to show him the same consideration, the same kind of confidence one shows to
    an adult.It means not to affect the child to be what we ourselves want him to become, but to be affected
    by the impression of what the child himself is; not to treat the child with cheating, or by force, but with the
    seriousness and true love suitable to his own character.
         Not leaving the child in peace is the greatest problem of present methods of training children.Parents
    do not see that during the whole life, the need of peace is never greater than in the years of childhood, an
    inner peace under all outside liveliness.
         But what does a child experience?Corrections, orders, interference (干涉), the whole livelong day.
    The child is always required to leave something alone, or to do something different, to find something
    different, or to want something different from what he does, or finds, or wants.He is always guided in
    another direction from the true inner will that is leading him.All of this is caused by our socalled enthusiasm
    in directing, advising, and helping the child to become the same model produced in one assembly line (流水线). Understanding, the deepest characteristic of love, is almost always absent.
         To bring up a child means carrying one's soul in one's hand; it means never placing ourselves in
    danger of meeting the cold look on the face of the child.It means the truth that the ways of injuring the
    child are limitless while the ways of being useful to him are few.How seldom does the educator remember
    that the child, even at four or five years of age, has already had a sharp feeling!The smallest mistrust and
    unkindness, the least act of injustice, leave wounds that last for life in the heart of the child.While, on the
    other hand, unexpected friendliness and kindness make quite as deep an impression on those soft senses.
