which no self-respecting person would
want to read that l hesitate about
asking them to look for suitable sub
jects. With The Herald Junior, how
ever, they can find articles which are
specially selected or written for them,
and it is safe to ask them to read it."
The boys and girls evidently did not
understand clearly about the closing
periods in these writing contests and
some have sent in their Dream letters
too late for publication.
There is to be different subject
every week in the writer's contest, my
dear children, and the papers which

For that reason 1 hope everyone will

believe in letting the children help
in all ways possible. 1t will be reve-
lation to some mothers If the children
should be allowed to do things to find
how many they really can do and do

Because Rosie does not like to wash
dishes is no real reason why she
should not do 1t; but maybe she would
like to stir up a cake instead, and IL
she learns how, then she will have ac-
complished something worth while. 1t
will take her longer, but she will take
pride in creaming her butter and sugar
and in beating her eggs well, and mix
ing 1t just as mother says 1t should
be done. Even boys like to do such
things. Not long ago a boy of IA took
hold and helped get ready for COM
pany. With minute instructions he
stirred up a cake, and then stirred the
frosting while it cooled; he ran to
open the oven door when needed for a
glance of the mothers quick eye, and
he really enjoyed himself as well as
though he had been out playing, and,
besides. he had learned something.
Let the girls mend their own stock
ings and let the boys know how to
work the sewing machine treadle and
run up a seam. All these things are
little in themselves. but If the boy and
girl can sew on their own buttons,
mend rip in a garment or tear. stir
up a simple cake or make a pudding
or their own candy, why, so much is
gained. They learn useful habits, and
just how much work is involved in
doing these things, and they learn the
pleasure of accomplishment, all of
which are worth more tnan the work
they do. In a family where all are
willing there need never be an over
worked mother, even in school time
when the children are busy.

AUNT LAURIE RECEIVES
MANY PLEASANT LETTERS
TY DEAR boys and girls:
The letters which l hay

A'A ceived from you during the last
week have been very pleasant to read.
Ever so many of the young felix of
Los Angeles have written to tell me
something nice about The Herald
Junior.
Big and little nephews and nieces
have written that they are pleased to
have a paper of their own.
Right here 1 must tell you, too, that
even a good many of the grown folk
read that first copy of the Junior, and
they have said some pretty fine things
about the letters and short stories
which it contained.
One high school teacher wrote this
to me: Il have always found it hard
to get my boys and girls to take a
genuine interest in their grammar les
sons. Now 1 shall let them try writ
ing upon some of the topics which The
Herald Junior suggests and see wheth-
er or not the prospect of winning a
prize will appeal to them"
Another teacher said to me: II am
so glad that there is one paper which
ii is safe to ask the children to read.
/ like to have my boys and girls re-
write some item of news which they
have read in the daily papers, but

CALIFORNIA PROVIDES
FOR FUTURE CITIZENS

CALIFORNIA wants TO have the
best citizens in the world, and
~ how do you suppose she is going
to get them?
She is going to make them. Every
boy and girl who is living in this great
state is to be surrounded with those
things which will make them grow up
into strong. brave. honest men and
women.
How many of the young people who
read this paper appreciate just what
this glorious state is doing for them?
There is scarcely citizen here who
is not giving more or less thought to
the betterment of the youth of our
state.
Judges spend many hours every day
in considering the best way to treat
those poor unfortunate children whose
little brains are being inclined toward
crime. Teachers and every one inter-
ested in educational work devote many
days planning what it is best that
children should study, and then many
more days in arranging the lessons so
that not one boy or girl shall feel the
least bit of trouble from overwork or
overstudy.
Politicians also realize that they
must do something for the coming men
of this great state. They purpose that
the boys who are going to control the
policies of this southwest shall be fitted
to do their work wisely.
They want the next generation to
make our lovely state renowned for
the wisdom and justice of it's admins
tration and for the happiness and
prosperity of it's people.
For that purpose they are providing
-,
ment as the public play grounds and
splendid amusement centers. They are
paying men and women to make
study of your games and sports. boys
and girls, to watch you as you play at
them. These men and women are in
structed to see that you do not hurt
yourselves in your play, for our state
must have strong men and lovely wo-
men. and only perfect health can pro-
duce them.
For this same purpose. the possession
of perfect health, the city of Los Ange-
les pays doctors and nurses to visit
your great amusement centers and pre-
scribe for any ills to which the flesh is
heir.
Club women and ministers are not
forgetting their responsibility to the
younger citizens, and their interest is
not for the mental or spiritual devel-
opment alone. but for the general
building up of character and intelli-
gence, which must come first from
a healthy and well nourished body.
In fact the entire thinking population
of the city is all at work constantly
devising plans for the betterment of
it's children and working to make them
grow into thoughtful and earnest and
practical citizens.
Do you realize, boys. that there will
be only four more presidential elections
before the time when even the very
youngest of you can vote. Think of
that, just four more presidents. and
then you shall have something to say
about whether or not we elect the right
man or the other one.
Many and many of the boys now in
school and reading this paper will be
voting long before that time, some of
them, perhaps, in just couple of cleo
tions.
So it will not be long until California
will be in the hands of politicians of
her own making, and she means to do
her best to provide that they shall be
worthy the proud title they will bear,

My Dear Aunt Laurie:
Your announcement that you would
give help in arranging a children's
party came almost as life saver to
me.
My two daughters are to entertain
about twenty of their friends next
month and 1 want to get my plans
made so that everything will move
smoothly when the evening arrives.
The girls are 13 and Is years of age
and their friends are al! about that
age.

me?

wiches. Some of ham, and some of
jam or cheese with a little grated ap-
pie and salad dressing mixed with it.

frosting and marshmellow waters.
Make these by putting one marshmel-
low on the top of round cracker.
Put in the oven till slightly melted

Walnut meats cut in pieces and used

Have the games simple and all ready
when needed, so there may be no

daughters name. There is an old
fashioned game, pronounced cum-ji-
