A WOMAN'S PHILOSOPHY.
BY EDWIN A. NYE.

/
! Ruth Cameron. the writer. tells til,
story OF mother who was successful
J In getting her children to do thing.
| properly by making the right way til.
| easiest.
This Is the story:
The mother formerly kept the chill
dren's rubbers and overshoes upstair.
in their own closets. SO they would no
get mixed. All the time. she says. sh,
was bothered by finding them all ovel
the house. She kept saying:
Bobby. why didn't you take you
rubbers upstairs?'
Lucille. this is the second time thi.
week I've had to stumble over you,
overshoes''
She thought much about the matter
and finally concluded she would make
it easier for the children to be order
ly. The father made a box for the
whole family, with little compart
ment for each one. She put 1t in the
back hall. And that solved the prob.
lem.
Simple? But effective. 1t confirmed
the children in orderly habits, saved
friction and wear and tear on nerves.
Again:
The mother had made q rule that
should enter the kitchen they must
put on aprons in order to save their
clothes. The girls kept their aprons
in their rooms, and the boys used moth
ers.
The rule was often broken.
The children would be In a hurry or
would forget, and oftentimes their
clothes would be soiled.
Finally the father put up FIVE hooks
in the kitchen entry. one for each.
Said the mother. You wouldn't be-
neve the time in cleaning clothes I
have saved
Her philosophy was the sort styled
"pragmatic" 1t worked.
All Of us are children larger grown,
and we often shirk doing a thing be-
cause it is not easy.
If YOU had a condensed dictionary
on your desk you would look up the
meaning Of that word. You have none,
and because the big dictionary is hard
to get at you let it go.
Or sou eat at the poorer restaurant
because the better one is farther up
street.
Humans like to follow the line Of
least resistance. Indeed. the problem
of government is the problem Of max
ing right doing easy.
D" not blame the children too much
until you have made it easy for them
to do the right thing

You have to grow up. my laddie, and
wander away from me
Up and down through the field and town,
and over the calling sea-
The fun-tangled curls that you wear to-
day
VIII change into hair that is shot with
gray,
SO laugh you, my laddte. and sing and
play
Or ever you go from me.
Your wonderful ways. my laddie, your
confident, trusting smile,
Must change and fade as your way IA
made against all the greed and
guile
SO live while you may in your make-be-
lieve
With all OF the fancies you dream and
weave,
The day will be here when for them
you'll grieve;
Twill seem but . little while.
You haven't a care, my laddie, the world
is a wondrous place
With play and song the whole day long,
and nothing is mean and base
light
And view every dawn as a marvel sight:
The day will be here when your toll will
write
It's story upon your face.
You've got to grow up. my laddie. and
wander away from me
Up and down through the field and town,
and out on the tossing sea:
But now you are little, and life is good.
So wiring out its rapture. as well you
should:
So laugh you. my laddie.-1 wish I could
The day that you 60 from me!
