TIME following is message to
our school teachers to par
ents, and to all who are
charged with the heavy RESPONSE
bility of giving first direction to the
impulses and ambitions of the chill
dren:
The idea that anybody, no matter
who, is qualified to shape the initial
stages of child's development is
as disastrous as it is unphilosophi
cal
The notion is that any old piano
is good enough for child to COM
mence practicing upon, any old
book good enough for it to use In
learning to read. and any nine
penny teacher ample for cultivat-
ing the rudiments of character and
culture. No teacher is too good, no
salary exorbitant, when it is mat
ter of putting a child's feet upon
the pathway of life.
There is no getting away from
beginnings. The beginning lasts
clear through to the end.
More depends on what the little
boy gets in the nursery and in the
primary school than on what the
collegian gets in the university.
A good start means a grand fin
ish.
There is no place in the world
where so much carelessness is dis
played and so much laundering
work applied in the laying Of foun-
dations as in the instance of chill
dren-the one place OF all places
where one would naturally suppose
that only the extreme of considera-
ton would be exercised or toler-

l couldn't tell her all of the secrets
of my clients no matter how thrill
fngly scandalous they were; that if
/ were a business man that there
were times when I was hard up,
and that 1 wasn't stingy because
asked her to economic. Common
sense and intellectually don't al
ways go hand in hand, and If l had
to choose between the two I'd take
the common sense every time.
Observation-Disclosures. None of
your morbid retrospective, female
vivisectionists for mine. I'd come
nearer to picking out a wife by her
laugh than anything else on earth.
The woman who meets all the little
misadventures of life with a great,
big, merry ha ha is a mighty
agreeable person with whom to
live, no matter what other failings
she's got. A cheerful woman is
sunshine In the home. She is wine
and meat to her husbands soul.
and lucky is he who gets her.
Ninth-Liberality Before I'd
propose to a woman I'd put in days
and weeks of careful measuring
and sounding as to her breadth
and depth Of character I'd know
that my future freedom depended
on that, and that if woman is
narrow, and provincial, and preju-
diced in her views, that a man had
better get himself locked up in Jail
at once, for If he marries her, he's
got a life sentence at hard labor
and close confinement. Not all the
tyrants wear trousers. Some of
the most grinding autocrats that
live are little two-by-four women
who have their husbands under
such subsection that the poor
slaves quake whenever they catch
their wives eyes on them. The
first question l should ask a girl.
when | found myself falling in love
with her, would be, What were her
views on the latchkey proposition,
and if she considered that man
has any rights that a wife was
bound to respect. And I'd be guild
ed according to the fervor of her
replies.
l Real Chum.
Tenth-Comradeship. l would
try to put love to one side, and
find out if a girl was really inter-
esting to me apart from firing my
fancy-if we could talk together
for hours without wearying of 9TH,
er topics than our mutual heart
thrills. For | should know that
after people are married they no
longer sit up and discourse on the
state of their affections, and then
II they have nothing else in COM
mon except the physical attrac-
tons that drew them together. they
are bound to bore each other to
death.
In short, my idea OF the perfect
wife is a woman who is healthy,
tidy. domestic, cheerful. liberal
minded and good pal. Can you
beat it?

3 3 THE IDEAL WIFE 3 3

TIN HE other day l discussed in
this column the ten attributes
that, in my opinion, went to
make up the ideal husband. Now
man asks me to tell what ten quail
tiles | think necessary to the per
feet Wife.
OF course, a mans idea Of good
wife, and a Womans idea Of good
wife may differ, but If We're
young man, any girl who succeeded
in Turing me to the altar and get
ting me to stand for her board bill
and shopping ticket the balance of
her life would have to show the
following ten earmarks;
First - Looks. Not necessarily
beauty, though | shouldn't object to
having a living picture sitting
across from me at the breakfast
table, but the girl married would
have to look healthy and sensible
and placid. No tense, drawn. nerv-
ous-looking ladies for me. There
Is plenty of excitement in married
life without adding hysteria to the
bunch.
Second-Clothes. Dress may not
proclaim the man. but It does the
woman. The girl who wears thin
silk stockings and pumps on the
streets in midwinter shrieks aloud
her lack of judgment. The girl
whose clothes always look mussy
and as if they had been thrown at
her shows that she is lazy and a
sloven. The girl who dresses be-
You'd her means adVertises just how
selfish she is and how little con-
sideration she has for her father
and will have for her husband when
she gets one. None of these for
me. I'd pick out a girl for a wife
who was neat and tidy, and suffi-
ciently up to the style, and if she'd
made her own frocks, so much the
better

observation-disclosures. I'd pay more
attention to the gray matter under
girls skull than | would to the
golden hair outside Of it, for Id be
wise that, while a pretty little inge-
nue. might be interesting to talk to
at bail, I'd get mighty tired if l
had to listen to her babble for forty
or fifty years at stretch.

trust my digestion to any girl who
didn't know how to cook. | wouldn't
look forward TO spending my days
in hotel, and so I'd sound girl

and if she didn't think that making
a home was about the best job any

get me.
