10 YOU ENDURE CHEERFULLY?

there are some conditions which must
be NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. which only
time alone can cure. This Is particu-
larly trne in the sense OF the bigger
things, and in no way suggests that
our activities along any line IT pro-
gress should cease.
However millenial may be the abe,
there never will be time, while men
and women retain even a particle Of
the human, when in intimate rela-
tons Of the home, there will not be
call for enduranco.
Endurance and forbearance are
among the qualities which bind fami-
lies together. They are among the
things which linger in our m emory
Of those we love. Endurance is one
Of the most refining, one Of the most
lovable qualities which any woman
may possess. And this does not mean
that woman should develop into q
meek self-abnegating creature.
But when it comes to the things
which can't be helped, the unpre-
ventable, incurable things, there's
nothing which makes woman more
loveable, more admirable, more worth
while, than this self-same endurance.
For after all what can't be cured
must be endured" and you might a.
we'll do it cheerfully.

Child Welfare Movement
HELPS Solve the Problem of
Properly Dressing Children

in tears because some silly. over
dressed child has laughed at her plain
Clothes" she said.
And what this mother finds in the
problem has confronted many other
mothers. On the one side they con-
slider good sense, and on the other
side the feeling of their children.
However, the matter Of properly
clothing children is one which Is
soon to be settled through the demo-
cratic interest which is being taken
by mothers all over the country in
Child Welfare Work. Mothers both
rich and poor are uniting in the con-
sideration Of topics Of mutual inter-
est relative to the welfare Of their
children.
Mothers Of the rich are learning
from the mothers Of the poor that
the welfare Of the child is best served
when that child is left absolutely un-
conscious Of its clothes. and allowed
to develop naturally, to go about their
school duties with minds undef1led by
the self-consciousness which f1nery
and furbelowed clothes Gauge.
They are learning that the welfare
Of the child demands that he shall be
simply, comfortably ana HealtHIu iIy
clothed in garments which allow him
to romp and play and develop his
muscles as we'll, instead of being
muscles, instead Of being fused up
in garments which preclude any sort
Of childish sport and onlJ make tor
snobbishness.
And it's this sort Of work along
common basis which cannot but make
for a greater democracy in the public
schools, lessening in many OF the
problems which have puzzled worthy
mothers for years. It's this line OF
study which will make 1t possible for
the mother in moderate circumstances
to send her child to school. clad IN
whole, clean. comfortable clothes, and
feel that the child will be submitted
to no unkindness because OF them.
This matter Of dressing the child IS
one of the most practical branches OF
the child welfare work which Is be-
ing so widely taken up throughout
the country, and it is one the study OF
which is bound to make for immeas-
urable happiness among mothers and
children alike.
