STUDIES OF CULTURAL
ADVANTAGE TO CHILD

What to do for the children is one OF
the insistent questions OF the hour. II
is the age when the oneness of human
ity, the equal importance of all periods
and all Municipalities that express the
human race are alike understood and
provided for.
A layman wrote in the Century a year
ago what he thought children should be
taught in school. In the discussions Of
the hour this sound and pleasant phil
osophy is well worth rehearsing. He finds
that children are especially apt in learn
ing certain things and that they should
be taught the things that plainly prove
themselves natural to be acquired. These
are languages, riding, dancing and music.
The child with French or German
governess picks up the language almost
at once. Then why not make language
study the chief booklore Of the child. and
leave things like history and geography
till later, when the maturing thought
better understands and SO is more inter-
ested in what these books impart?
Teach Boys Greek and Latin.
The writer would have all boys taught
Green and Latin. One would wonder why
ne excludes the girls from that classical
training which shall give breadth and
elegance and tone to boys thinking.
1t seems rather out Of date to draw dis
tinctions between boys and girls in mat
tiers Of intellectual training.
Then with five languages and music
the child is really being educated, easily
and happily. and gaining expertness in
things which will be of the utmost cui-
tural value to him all his life. They are
often of immediate practical use, espe-
cially in these modern days, when work.

or while still wet. II the latter way il
found best, the starch should be made
somewhat heavier. II a little boracic
acid is added to 1t, the irons will be less
apt to stick. Some housekeepers add a
little salt. while others use a little par
afiin.
Flanaels Require Care.
A little bluing is sometimes used when
the clothes are wet-starched. Flannels
require careful laundering to keep them
soft. A good soap should be used. The
best way to do Is to make good rich
lukewarm suds and with the aid OF a
gentle rubbing the dirt will disappear.
Flannels should be rinsed well in water
of the same temperature and then wrung
out by hand, or rather. have the water
pressed out. Flannels should be dried
rapidly.
When pulley line ts used. it will be
found q very good way to hang the
lighter pieces first. In this way the line
will be found easier to pull than IL the
heavy flannels and sheets had come first.
As the clothes are taken in from the
line they should be smoothed and folded
carefully. This will save considerable
work when ironing. All utensils shNuld
be carefully wiped dry before they are
put away

in reference to the season. Study tho

Because they are adorned with
a multitude of diamonds, of vary

sewn fast to the hosiery.
Miss Held Is the latest lumi-
nary to be added to the vaude-
vile armament, and she is soon
going to twinkle over the country,

management of John Cort.

The new musical comedy won't
need Ziegler's backing, from all
present appearance. 1t has
scored one of the biggest hits
registered in New York in years.
It's most musical, 1t is very
funny, 1t has been superbly
staged by Ben Teal and is excel
lently sung and acted by Natalie

Craufurd Kent, ct al.
A new comedy, "Her Own

with the theme of a wife's finan-
cial dependence; on the bad hab-

asking, "Well, what do you want
to do with tit" when friend wife
asks for a dollar or two.
Swans play is amusingly writ
ten, but he makes his husband
so terribly stupid and selfish as
to pass human belief, and thus
sadly mars an otherwise attrac-
tive little piece.

Blind Pigs in San Francisco

to make record for responsibility.
The convention said that there were 1900 blind
pigs in San Francisco and demanded in a loud tone
Of voice that they be closed
This riled up Chief Of Police White to defend the
fair Of the city" Chief White denounced the
story that there 1900 blind pigs, and declared
that there only 500 He said that during the past
six months he had convicted thrty-six of them and
arrested several more-a total of prosecutions.
He did not state why he had not prosecuted the
other $685.
But all this is not the point; what about the IL
city of San Francisco having even 500 blind
pigs?
If license operates to prevent the operation of
blind pigs how is it that San Francisco has even 900
blind pigs?
