WOULD LET CHILDREN WALK
Boston Newspaper Points Out Good
Effects That Have Been OBJ
served in Germany.

American parents take heed. The
effect of open-air walking on the
health OF children has been noted by
the Berlin School of Physicians, and
the investigation should prove OF spe-
cial interest to school authorities in
every land. DR.. Raider, who has made
the reports of this walk cure. states
that Sc pupils were sent on walking
trips in three groups, each under the
leadership of a teacher. On an aver
age the children walked from 10 to 20
miles day. They were given coffee,
milk and white bread for breakfast.
During the day they got bread and
butter. In the evening they were
given a warm dinner. One series or
well-nourished children did not change
weight during the six days tour. The
results of the tour were strongly man
ifested some time after 1t was over.
During the following three months so
of the Sc children gained from three
to % pounds in weight. From this 1t
would appear, the doctor says, that
the violent muscular exercise stimu-
lated the organism to increased meta
bolism and more rapid growth. This
being the case. what shall be said to
transporting by cars or stages those
children living in country towns to
schoolhouses centrally located togeth-
er? The old-fashioned healthful walk
to school even is taken away by
the present concentration system.
Throughout New England at least no
pedestrianism Is cultivated. Gymnas-
tics, drills and such sports as are the
fad OF the day. must serve Ito stimu-
late the organism to increased metab-
olism," for country juveniles no longer
walk, nor do city children who live
in fats know how to run up and down
stairs; they take the elevator.-Bos-

POLITE EVEN IN EXTREMITY
And No Doubt This Time There Was
Abundant Truth In the Gus
tomary Formula.

William was a little country boy who
had been reared to the age OF four
by a careful grandmother of the old
school, who had paid particular at
tention to the childs table manners.
Mindful of grandma's admonitions II
given at the table more of anything
than he cared for, William would
firmly say:
Plenty, flank you, plenty. No, flank
you, / don't keer for it," always to
the familys great amusement.
But William developed on his own
account an independence of conduct
that required curbing, and that at
length grew so alarming that one day,
after a particularly exasperating exhi-
bition of Importance. he and his ia
Their took walk around behind the
barn, hand in hand, father armed with
a slender switch that was calculated
to produce a good moral effect If used
judiciously, and his small son sliding
along with great reluctance on toes
that caught at every foothold on the
path.
Then his fathers voice was heard
saying: I'll teach you, sir, not to be
saucy to your mother!" and swish
swash went the slender switch, land
ing with a whack-whack on Williams
plump anatomy. The little boy en-
dured it in silence for moment, and
then a polite protest went up.
20, o. plenty, plenty, papa, plenty!
Mono, flank you, papa, II don't
keer for it,"

O'Brien waited a good two minutes,
then thrust his helmet from the hedge
with the intention of following, when
he was stayed by the appearance of
the thief's pal. He crept into view
from around the left side of the house,
hugging the wall till he reached the
open window, through which he dis

Now again he thrust his helmet from

figure appeared suddenly from the

to the right wall, and stole to the
rear, where, opening a second window,
this figure also disappeared into the
mansion.

PoIiteness Doesn't Always Pay.

Gen. Arthur F. Marsh, after a long
debate with himself whether it pays
to be polite, has reached the conclu-
sion that it's we'll enough to be polite,
but that there's such a thing as being
too polite, which is hurtful in the ex-

structions in the first elements of dancing,
and that sometimes they really dance!
Dancing is one of the elements of So

gracious and sylphlike, is as necessary to
our young people as the knowledge of al

have its place in the curriculum of our
public schools. Many parents have not the
