CHILDREN'S QUESTIONS.
Mics Backus VIII Tell How to
Answer Many of Them.

Mics Backus VIII Tell How to
Answer Many of Them.
In the classes in child study for mothers
and teachers to be organized this month,
Miss Backus says that many parents have
asked for the discussion of children's
questions. AS all her classes are informal
and discussions are open to all, Miss
Backus anticipates some interesting prob
lens to be brought up.
One small boy of four wrestled for two
weeks with the question, evolved entirely
from his own logical conclusions, IF God
made everything, who made God" and he
was finally shown how he was asking
the unanswerable. A business man told
of his little boy the following story: Il
was putting my boy to bed last night, and
he asked one question after another until
l said that he must positively go to sleep,
but he begged for only one more ques-
tion Father, upon my honor this is
the last one" and he was consequently
allowed the privilege. The question was,
What makes my bicycle stand up
straight when l ride on ii, and fan over
as soon as I get off, 1 told him l would
think about it and tell him next day, ana
he left me struggling with the problem of
explaining physical laws to a 4-year-old. -
@One man of varied experience and real
love for children said, SHOW me the child
who never asks questions, and 1 will
show you a fool" nevertheless after
hundred or so at a time. the patience of
the average parent becomes a trihe
strained. Children's questions usually
show the end of a train of thought. and
it would amaze US if we could trace the
thought back ITO its source.
One child asked his mother what hap
pened when persons were buried. Why"
she answered a part of US stays there.
and a part goes up to heaven" He con-
sidered a few moments and said. "Wen.
l suppose the feet part stays down, and
the head part goes up, because all the
pictures of little angels are nothing but
heads and wings; but I shouldn't think
you'd have much place TO put your break
fast" This was a perfectly admissible
conclusion from his point of view, and
most of the ''eute" sayings and questions
of small children have their origin in
sincere desire to arrive at logical con
clusion; it is only when these are repeated
and laughed at that the desire to be
"smart' sets in.
In the classes mentioned last week, Miss
Backus will take up twelve practical top
les and discuss them from a psychological
standpoint These classes will be held
twice a week during Lent, at the Phil
brick Kindergarten, No. SO2 Huh street,
east.
The organizing meeting will be held
Saturday morning al IL O'clock, Feb. %.
Anyone who is interested in children are
invited to come and may then join for
the course Of lessons

bestow. The music was Rosenfelds or

ladies and gentlemen caused everyone to
have a good time. At II o'clock the march

IN startling contrast to its former

mask of care had descended upon it,
color and light died out She leaned
against the wall Of the alcoye
oblivious to the music the laughter,
and the dancing feet. The tones Of
her partners gay voice floated from a
room below; she heard it as in q
dream.

She started up, rigid, at the sound
Of the voice which replied:
I'm looking for a Jolly girl every
day. You had better come away from

good impression"
