LET CHILDREN HAVE FUN AT
HOME, NOT ABROAD.

Girls and boys, being human,
wish to have a good time, and they
are wise parents who let children
of any age have their fun at home.
1t is not always easy, nor indeed
necessary, to fall in with every re-
quest to have something done, but
it is of vital importance that every
child, whether little or grown,
should feel that what it wishes to do
can be done at home; that it will
net be necessary to do it in some
other boys or girls home.
In other words, if parents are to
know how their children are de-
veloping in manners, morals and
tastes, the elders must so act with
the younger that the latter will feel
that there is more than perfunctory
interest. Unless children know by
experience that parents care about
their having good times, and will
help with them, those children are
bound to go elsewhere when they
wish to amuse themselves. When
TINS happens the keynote of cone
ddence between the two generation
has been lost.
But in order to keep my boys
and girls at home am to allow
them TO do whatever they wish?"
asks the bewildered mother. By
no means. 1t is preciselysito pre-
vent their doing whatever they
wish that you are Ito keep them of
their own accord. Away from home

do things that it is much better

one is so it is because the natural
exuberance of youth has been I'M
checked or improperly curbed and

undesirable or worse are formed.
The wise and understanding par
ents are those who have made their
children feel through years that all
the pleasure the young may have
the elders. will help to put in their
way, and that when the parental
veto goes on, it is. tor a reason that
would. satisfy the younger ones did
they but. understand it. Such a
relation between parents and chill
dren Is inevitable, because it must
never be forgotten that. the finest
boy or girl will probably eventual
ly arrive at an age where it will be
independent in It's goings and COM
Sngs and in its actions, and it will
then do practically as it wishes.
To have one. prefer to stay at
home and have the other children
come there because 1T is more fun
at home" is a triumph worth work
ing for.
