The $4,000 appropriation for
fighting bovine tuberculosis has
been spent and there are thousands
Otlcows which ought to be tested or
which do not need testing, accord
ing to the way you look at it. The
point is that $4,000 as a remedial
measure is a mere scratch on the
surface, a scorch instead of a eau
terry, putting lotions on an ulcer
rather than cutting down to the
healthy flesh. Vermont should
have the courage of her convictions
and either take her prescription
and pay the price or let some one
else diagnose.

In the inherited faults of our
children there is a difficult problem
for a just woman to face. 1t
is little short of appalling for one
who has conscience to have to
admit to herself that she has
passed down to this bone Of her
bone a trait or a tendency which
the child will have to combat all
his life. Yet here, as in no other
instance of our association with
our children, is there a possibility
of a close, precious understanding
existing between them and our
selves. What would have helped
us in our young, trying days?
Would silent sympathy, or a
sympathy expressed in word or
action, or even a kindly warning
have been most adequate to our
needs? Take this thought deep
into your consciousness and see
if it does not prove to be one of the
little sidelights that will help to
illumine the whole subject for you.
So much can be done for the child
or the adult-by those who are
generous enough to Internationally
put themselves in his place. "
When we stop to consider the
matter seriously, we have got to
admit that these little bits of
roughly modelled clay that have
been put into our hands to work upon
are really made of very good material
indeed, especially when we further
realize that for many years they
have nothing but pure instinct to
guide them. So it does seem just
that we should cultivate a sublime
patience from the beginning and
never permit it to slip out of our.
