Fresh Air for Shoes.

in many others, the value OF fresh air
is not rightly estimated At night the
least thoughtful shake out their clothes,
brush off the days dust and slip each
garment over a hanger; and many gar
ments are thrown over chair before
an open window. But how many Of even
the most fastidious germ fighters think
OF their shoes. Clickety-click, into a
close closet, or closed shoe box they 90,
instead of being brushed, pulled into
shape and placed where the air can
play freely about and through them.
A window sill is an excellent shoe

training should go hand in hand from
| the start. Often the child itself is
to blame it refuses to make the most
of opportunities, working for marks
rather than lasting results.
Children dislike to be different from
their mates and feel demeaned if their
education is out of the ordinary. This
is why children of foreign parents so
often fail to speak their parents ma,
tive tongue.
Boys have less to complain of in this
line. though many of them do not awake
until too late to a fixed purpose. Sem
sible parents more and more try to de-
velop their sons along the natural bent
This means saving many years in start
ing ones work The boy who does not
know what he wants to be before he
starts to college is at disadvantage
that he finds hard to overcome later
Oddly, il is often the parents of mod
crate means who are least particular in
practical training OF children They
struggle along themselves, keep the
children in school - long as they can,
but are too busy or shortsighted to see
that the child needs something more
the knowledge from the start that she
alone must carve her own future aud
must learn early to manage her own
tools
The girl of wealth is educated on
most rigid Iines-her training is SO wide
and so thorough, her opportunities so
great that. when reverses come, there
is preparation. though perhaps uncon-
scious. It is the girl who knows she
must look after herself some day who
too frequently makes the least of the
opportunities she has and is without
ambition or too fond Of good time
By the time girl is 10 or 10, the
responsibility for her future rests with
herself Parents can give advantages;
they cannot compel them to be used
The girl who is not awake to the neces-
sity of making the most of herself, Of
learning thoroughly everything she
studies, and of specializing on the thing
she likes most, has only herself to re-
proach if calamity finds her unprepared
The main thing is for parents and
girls both to realize that the girl who
faces the future unframed for any one
line of work is starting life under
handicap that will leave her far in the
rear in the race for success.

Training Children to Work.

The president of one of the biggest
corporations in the land, a man whose
wealth and social standing are unques-
toned, is training his children boys
and girls alike, to be ready for self
support at the first need Of it. Be-
sides his regular college education, each
child is able to work with his hands, the
boys are skilled cabinetmakers and the
only daughter could be proficient mu-
sic teacher or dressmaker.
Mistaken kindness of parents too oft
en- breeds poverty and incompetency for
the children they have given every adj
vantage save practical, working educa-
tion, says the New York Times. No.
where is there less preparation for such
reveTses.
Sometimes this is due to ingrained OPP
timism; in a bright present there is no
dread of clouded future. Again, the
father and mother intend to train the
children to self.support, but think there
is time for it later; they do not realize
that educational frills and technical
