Johnnie always takes the shortest
line between two points, no matter
what the danger 10 his life or limb
or 20 the peace of the neighborhood.
Hence ever since his advent ne has
always been its principal terror and
its principal entertainment.
He is only two years old, but his
white head and blue bishop dresses
are not unfamiliar sights toddling
across the street TO watch the boys
play ball in the vacant lot, OF patter-
ing at high speed down the hill after
his sister, OF wriggling down the ter
race on his stomach TO join his broth
er's gang"
That is the way Johnnie gets
places. If he wants things ne just
yells for them and il may as we'll be
said here. the neighborhood would
give him almost anything TO silence
him. though his mother doesn't al
ways.
The last comedy which he staged
for the neighborhoOd began on sun
day morning with a prologue consist
ing of Oft-repeated and prolonged
wells which now and again framed
themselves into English, and IL was
mt many minutes, that Sunday morn
ing. before everyone in the vicinity
was appraised OF the fact that Johnnie
wanted 10 'pinkle.
He sat on his nelghbOr's front steps
grasping the nozzle, huge in his small
hands. and shaking il up and down
suggestiVely in the general direction
of the sidewalk. while he yelled, Me
wanta 'pinkle, Me wanta 'pinkle.
After a half hour or SO of apparent
obliviO1 his mother made a desperate
dash at him, grabbed him by one arm
and dragged him home protesting
physically and Vocally against his sep
aratiOn from the nozzle.
F'ollowing this there was an inter

To Aid Mothers
keep Enthusiasm
National Club Organised
To Give Expert Aid And
Advice on Child Training

1t has been truly said that the
mothers business. that Of making men
and women. is the most important of
all pursuits, and calling for which
the most skilled and thorough train
ing is needed.
Yet many mother with a precious
child in her arms suddenly realizes
that she knows little OF nothing about
caring for this child. either physically
or mentally. All 1t once. she feels ig-
norant, helpless, unit Yet she
yearns with the strongest Of all love
-mother-love-tO give her child
every aid possible TO help him toward
perfection and happiness.
Many another mother. though she
has been trained and though she is
capable. has her hands Over-full. and
needs help. And still other mothers,
as the little flock increases. lose their
enthusiasms. And to mothers any
thing which can bring back their
high purpose, is like restoring their
youth.
These are some of the problems
that those interested in the welfare of
parents and children have been pom
dering. Ii was to meet these needs
that the After School club of Amer
lea was organized. And il is one of
the best allies the mother can have
in the big work Of her life, the train
AAo " AiOA ciiAANi G IL
The After School club starts with
the principle that moral training be-
gins when the child is one day old;
and by means Of books. monographs
discussions of various kinds, and per-
sonaI correspondence. helps the
mother in a definite practical way to
/ care for the child from the day it is
born. This necessarily begins with
/ the diet, health and infantile habits
of the baby and develops into gen
| eral physical care. mental training
and moral guidance.
This, perhaps, is the primary pur-
! p Sc Of the club. Bur it does not
| stop here. For the children as we'll
as the parents have their share in it.
] II helps equip the child with the best
| OF literature. and to throw around
/ this literature the most wholesome
and stimulating Influences. which will
| act and react upon the life of the
! child in the home. in the school, on
/ the playground, in society and as he
! takes his place in the world
| To the mothers Of the country in
general it is what the School of
| Mother-craft is to the mothers of
/ New York. IT is not a pumping sta
! ton 10 deluge mothers with good ad-
/ vice. Rather it is a storehOuse of the
best material upon which the moth
er may draw TO supply whatever need
