Apropos OF the tragedy. In itself bar
barrie. caused by the struggles of a vast
unwleldly crowd, that concluded the
barbarlc splendors OF the Moscow cor

who has not experienced something Of
its power can Judge OF the horrors OF
pressure freed from scientific control
What holocausts would have been
made OF the crowds that pressed to
see the executions before Newgate In
old times but for the barriers that
we're erected to stem the human cur
rent. At the fete In the Champ de
Mars In Paris In 1927. numbers OF peo-
pie lost their lives standing. and were
carried about hitler and thither In the
crowd all night, side by side with their

west the winter afternoons are so dark the
eye IS strained. Children have headaches,
grow stupid and hate to look at books.
Parents whose children complain of head

There are several stories in the Second
Readers full of words of fourteen syllables
and learned talk about phosphorus, carbon
and nonsense, which children read with
puzzled smile, knowing that somehow it
is funny, yet falling to see the exact place
to laugh And it is funny-that is, it
would be were it not also sad. When
there are so many simple words to use and
SO many simple, straightforward stories
fitted for the thought vocabulary of a
child, it is both comic and pathetic to find
in all his readers only these complicated,
utterly incom prehensible masses of words
to tell him which foods will make good
brain and muscle and which foods will do
him more harm than good.
You may imagine that in this advanced
age most parents know what is good food
for growing frames. If such fallacy has
gained an entrance into your mind, take
peep into few lunch baskets and watch
the fallacy flee. Children will eat any,
thing when they are hungry, and when are
children not hungry? They can eat what
they find to eat, and seemingly without a
bit of Ill effect. This temporary immu-
nifty is the cause of much indulgence on
the part of weakly loving parents, who ex-
cuse what they know TO be dangerous by
nothing ever hurts them Ever is
big word. Perhaps the law of cause and
effect is suspended in their favor, but from
the doctors bonanza of dyspeptics 1 infer
rather it is a case of the slow but sure
grinding of the mill of the gods.
Many a woman, hollow-cheeked and
yellow-skinned, win tell you of the
stomach trouble which makes life one
long series of denials and will vail for the
lost childhood, when she could ''eat any
thing" She did eat anything, and now
she cannot digest anything.
The teacher, especially the one outside
OF city, has an opportunity of seeing the
trash consumed daily by her children,
and she has the opportunity of lifting up
her voice and her example against this
slaughter of the innocents. l would not
advise her, however, to begin the crusade
with much hope. Parents have ideas
very decided ideas. az like rich food, and
my child shall have as good as l have"
AS bad as you have, my righteous one, as
bad. You like to smoke, yet you counsel
your son to wait until he has his growth.
You would watch the diet of your puppy
or your horse to see that good growing
food is given, and not such as will stunt
any organ, but the child, the treasure you
have snatched from Gods hand, must take
his chance.
