The passion for travelling, whether
alone or with the family or IL the com
pa1y of flag-waving citizens from the
Panhandle and Great Lakes, has lone
the American people a world of good.
The intelligent observation of foreign
life has a l~eveling effect that is good
for the observer himself. and for the
world in general. 1t dulls conceit and
s%harpens sympathy. The japanese have
taken a leaf out of the American book
in this respect, and in the last few
years have begun to travel fast and
far. Americans spend millions. of dol
lars in Europe; but it is hardly open
to a question that the extravaganza
which some people deprecate is not
more than offset by the inestimably
beneficial impressions received by the
thousands who keep their eyes and ears
rather than their purses open, and who
bring these impressions back to improve
the stay-at-homes.

SIOUX WOMEN.


Among the Sioux 1t was no disgrace
to the chiefs daughter 10 WORK with
her hands. Indeed, says Charles A.
Eastman in "old Indian Days" their
standard Of worth was the willingness
to work. but not for the sake of sccu-
mutation. only in order 10 give.
Generosity is a trait that is highly
developed in the Sioux woman. she
makes many mOecasins and other ar
ticles of clothing for her male reIa-
tives, or for any who are not well pro
yided. She loves TO see her brother the
best dressed among the young and
the moccasins. especially of & Young
brave, are the pride of his womankind
Her own moccasins are plain, her
leggings close-ftting and not as nigh
as her brothers. she parts her smooth.
jet black hair in the middle and pats
I; in two braids. Her ornaments, spar
ingly worn. are beads. elks' teeth. and
a touch Of red paint. No feathers ere
worn by the woman,-unless in a sacred
dance.
She is supposed to be. always occu-
pied with some feminine pursuit or en-
gagged in some social affair, which is
also strictly feminine as a rule. Even
her language is peculiar TO her sex,
some words being used by women 1nly,
and others have a feminine terminal
ton.
There is an etiquette of sitting and
standing. which is strictly observed.
The woman must never raise her knees
or cross her feet when seated. She
seats herself on the ground sidewise
with both feet under her.
Nearly all her games are different
from those of the men. She has a
sport of wand-throwing which develops
fine muscles of the shoulders and back.
The wands are about eight feet long,
and taper gradually from an inch and
4 half TO half al inch in diameter. Some
of them are artIstically made, with
heads Of bone or horn, and it Is re-
markabIe TO what a distance they nay
made to slide over the ground.

Training the Appetite.

The question is often asked, "Shoull
children be; compelled to eat food tina
they dislike?' The question is rather
a puzzling one, and there may be a.
many views upon it as there are upoI
most educational queries A few dec
AIDES ago the question was rarely raised
The saying was handed on from gen,
Grafton to generation that "childrer
should be made to eat what was sci
before them," and that was all there
was to it.
The writer still recalls the loathing
distaste with which, some three times
a week all through his extreme youth,
he watched the bringing on of a certain
hateful dumping and gravy dish at
the school midday dinner. 1t was the
aversion of his youth, and it would
never have been ''downed" had it not
been for the fact that he feared his
master more than he did his qualms.
But out of evil may come forth good,
and honesty compels him t. confess
that the result of this ever-renewed
battle between his tastes and his dunn
pling is that, with the exception of
parsnips, he can now eat everything
eatable with resignation, if not enjoy
ment.
One would have to urn to a nursery
governed by an exaggerated form Of
mushy concession to obtain the com
paniOn picture to this one, but uadoubt-
eddy many such nurseries are to be
found. Here one may discover as many
likes and dislikes as there are people
to form them. Mary cannot bear nut
ton, and a special dish must be pre-
pared for her ON chop day. Jack de
tests soup, ami Bobby an uncanny
Notwithstanding Bobby = will not
touch jam. 1t is impossible to help a
certain longing for some of the good
old-fashioned practice in a case like
this; and where the kind of food dis.
eliminated against is-a really necessary
one in the dietary-as milk, for ex-
ample-the child should be made. in the
old-fashioned phrase, to learn to like
it."
Children who have fads in the mat
ter of food should never be allowed to
touch food between meals, but should
go to the table hungry. Their
likes and dislikes should never be dis
cussed before them. With plenty of
to drink between meals, a good.
healthy hunger to carry TO the table,
and simple nursery dishes appetizingly
served. most children win a without
question the food set before them

In an editorial upon farming meth
DDS the Electrical Review says that the
advances made in transporting and
manufacturing since the adaptation of
electricity to motors should be repeated
on the farm. Says the Review: at
will be strange If before long the spirit
of advance does not infuse a new life
into farming methods. May we not ex-
pect that our newer power agencies
will extend their influence to the work
Of the farm, relieving 1t of much of the
%drudgery that still exists and making
the work as attractive and pleasant as
any other pursuit? When this comes
about we may expect to see farming
take on a new life and flourish again
in places where 1t has long languished.
Deserted farms may then be reclaimed
and a profitable field of work offered
to many who now crowd into the manu-
featuring towns In search of a surer
e of livelihood" An instance Is
cited where a small waterfall on an
abandoned mill site was harnessed and
made TO do the work of two horses and
light the buildings on two farms. The
total cost of installation was about equal
to the value of two good horses, and
the cost of running the plant is prac-
tically nothing, 1t requires but little
expert knowledge to handle electricity,
mysterious as this agent is. Many Of
the successful electricians of to-day
knew nothing of the subject a few
years ago. The knowledge of maehin-
cry required for a farm plant is pos
sessed by the average farmer already.
Given the power, which is simple and
cheap if drawn from a stream, the APP
plication of 1t to the machine can be
made by IN amateur, and this being

All classes of thinkers, realizing tina.
education is the nations first problem,
have contributed to the discussion of
the school question. The physician
has made his plea for the childs
health, the clergyman has put In his
word for religious Instruction, the en-
ployer has asked for schools to send
him graduates trained in the rudiments
of business. All this Interest In educa-
ton stimulates teachers and keeps the
schools abundantly equipped and pro
gressiye. But under all the varied
questions, the funda mental purpose Of
education is sometimes buried from
sight. Prof. Friedrich Paulsen, a Ger
man teacher and philosopher, has re-
Gently summoned his countrymen to
remember the old moral roots of ed.
ucation. His article, translated In the
Educational Review, bids us hold fast
to the principles that education means
training In obedience, application and
the subsection Of the young viii I 0 the
older disciplined will. This philosopher
and teacher of ethics knows that the
civilized human being is he who can
drive a controlled mind to a definite
goal, and that schools and parental dis
and churches have as their OBJ
Ject the making Of civilized men and
women out of raw material. So that
when a devotee of "child-psychology'
advocates the study of the child-bent
and adaptation Of educational methods
to the young individual soul, the old
fashioned teacher agrees, provided the
teacher and not the child is to do the
adapting. When the preacher of health
and nature shows the beautiful devel-
of free childhood running wild
IN the open fields, the old-fashioned
admits the poetry of the idea,
1ut insists that the child will never
freedom until he has learned me-
-hodically to do as he is told, indoors
out. And when the pedagogical
devises a course In manual
raining, French, music and nature
rudy, the same old-fashioned teacher
.ccepts the combination, provided the
'upil be required to do his work thor
ughly in each subject, whether he likes
t or not.
