Wingtield. living in the little town Of

animals usually seen only in geological

Mr.. Wingheld trains wild animals

*

Don't nub the child VINO Is q per-
petual Interrogation mark. 1t is a big
temptation. but think how dreadful 1t
would be if your little questioner had
been born deaf and dumb or mentally
deficient.
Losing your patience when Willie
bothers you with his "Why?" or Nancy
never speaks without a question to be
answered will throw your children
back on themselves for information.
and you will learn too late you have
lost your hold on your little ones.
If you do not answer questions be
sure some one else will-neither so
wisely nor so truthfully. Many a
child's fear Of ''bogies" OF dreadful
nervousness for which you cannot ac-
count can be traced to awful stories
told them by servants when you re-
fused to crafty childish curiosity be-
cause you were too busy.
Do not feel that your child Is an in
FAINT prodigy because he is given to the
'why and wherefore" His quest n
ing is only natures way Of making in
struction easier to you. See that you
heed it.
If you think the questioner a wonder
you can rarely hide your opinion from
him. The result? He becomes hat
most obnoxious nuisance-a child who
asks questions to show of and be a
smarty. Likewise will his vanity take
a boom that is not beneficial.
Again. do not tell a child he is a
stupid" or laugh uproariously when
he asks you a question that seems
r%idiculously easy to you. 1t is this
habit that keeps many children silent
when by going to mother or father
their doubts could easily be set
straight.
Many children have held for years
impossible and terrifying notions OF
everyday facts which they never
would have had If they had not dread
ed the laughter of 'big people,"
