BY KATHARINE LORD.

r Asst September little girl who
seemed, as the story books say
to have everything that heart
could wish, went to her mother and
said that she wanted something very
badly. Did you ever when you wanted
something very, very much, make
mother promise first before you would
tell her what is was, assuring her that
It was something quite possible and
not bad for you, OF anything like that
Well, that is what Natalie Hammond
did before she told her mother what
was at that time her dearest wish.

to all the little children in Europe who
have lost their fathers in the war.
Natalie's Wish Starts Christmas Fund
She knew it was a rather large re.
quest, but she believed that her own
dear father and mother would find
way to grant it. They are great friends
and playmates, this little girl and her
mother, and the picture shows them
sitting down together to work out
Natalie's big idea. And from this the
War Children's Christmas Fund was
started, and now not only Natalie
Hammond but hundreds of children all
over America are working to send
Christmas boxes to the children of
Europe.

TN these days Of economy talk the
average housewife is on the look
out for suggestions regarding nu-
tritious food at low cost. One OF the
best foods that can be served is mac
sroni, and even II we have been IN the
habit Of purchasing the imported va
rieties, there are many American
brands that are just as nutritious and
pslatable, at much lower cost.
Without doubt the general health OF
the public would be benefited by eat
Ing more macaroni. Concerning the
food value Of macaroni, the following
quotation from Sir Henry Thompson
the expert dietitian, may be Of In
erest:
Weight for weight, macaroni may
be regarded as not less valuable In
hesh-mSking properties than beef and
mutton. Mos; people can digest IT
more easily and rapidly than meat. 1t

or midday meals, among those whose

At frs. the children and their par
ents wanted to send in all the presents
directly, then, because the time was
short and because things are cheaper if
bought in large quantities, they were
asked to send money when they could.

School Child One Of Group.

Aside from mutual ignorance. there
are several positive conditions that
max teachers and parents work at
odds. The first Of these Is that at
home the child is an individual. where
as in school he is one Of a group. This
difference is an important one, and
one that often gives rise to misun-
derstandings. Parents find 1t particu-
larly difficult to understand why the
teacher should complain Of the con-

contain a box OF candy and a jolly
little red coated paper Santa Claus.

to provide, and indirectly all the money
spent will benefit our own country,

Whv Do Parents and Teacher Clash?

Grafton is the lack of candor on the
part of parents. Perhaps it is the ma
ternal instinct that makes the mother
say: 81 don't see how he ever came
to do such a thing. This is the first
time that any teacher has ever COM
planned about my Robert" Roberts
mother does not realize that teachers
compare notes, and that the modern
school has a way Of knowing what that
boy did out of the ordinary from the
time he entered the primary class, or
she would not make herself ridiculous
by pretending to believe that an angel
had fallen. Robert never was an angel,
no matter what his mother may say;
and he has not fallen-that is, not very
far-no matter what his teacher may
say. He is just an ordinary boy, and
normal probably in proportion to his
health. He has violated the more or
less arbitrary rules OF the school and
his own best conscience on several pre-
vious occasions, and he will no doubt
do so several times more before he
goes out into the world.
IL would be greatly to Roberts ad-
vantage if his mother and his teacher
understood each other. In most cases
the teachers are willing to 10 their
share, but maternal instinct is a seri-
Gus obstacle When a girl in one of
our large schools absented herself with
out leave (yes. even girls can play

for nm explanation. Instead OF meet
ing the situation frankly, she thought
abe was saving The honvr OF the family
and preventing trouble Tor her daugh-
ter by writing that she knew Of Made
lines absence, and that 1t was all
right" But she did not deceive the
school authorities, and she neither
helped her daughter nor her reputa-
ton. When parents will conspire with
their children 70 deceive the teachers,
cooperation is impossible.
Know Your Children.
The attitude Of parents toward the
work of the school often makes or
breaks a child's school career. When
Annie has difficulty with her lessons. it
ia natural for the parents to wish 70
assist her But. excepting in very rare
cases. the "help" Is likely TO consist of
a substitution OF parents work for
ehilJs work, and that is worse than
no helm NJ all. The reason for this is
that most parents are not trained IN
using the methods that viii assist

they can easily help the child to get

desired solution Of a problem or an
answer. Some private schools which
are in a position to make their own
rules. and to enforce them, prohibit
absolutely the giving of aid to their
pupils by any one other than their own
teachers. Nevertheless, parents can
help by discussing problems with their
children, and by adopting an attitude
that makes the school work seem worth
while, and by providing conditions suit
able for work at home.
New-York tribune., 1914-11-30

THE thinking person takes it for
granted that parents and teach
ers are both necessary for the
proper bringing up of children. We
take it for granted that both parents
and teachers are concerned with near
ly identical ends in the training of
children. Yet everywhere we find
these two classes working at cross-pur-
poses, as though each were doing his
best to counteract the efforts of the
other. Why does this conflict exist
at all? Why should it exist to-day,
when on every hand we hear of the
value and Importance of co-operation7
Teachers lgnUre home Conditions.
1t should be part Of our purpose
to cooperate Systematically with those
who have our children in their charge
so much Of the day. If we find. as we
are likely to find, that most teachers
are ignorant of the home conditions Of
their pupils, we can readily understand
the reason. The teachers have had
neither the time nor the occasion to
become acquainted with the homes. Nor
are they likely to get the time and the
opportunity But whcn the parents
are ignorant of the conditions in the
school, the remedy lies nearer to hand
In many families both parents are SO
engrossed with their daily tasks that
visiting school is a great hardship, not
to say an impossibility, but most homes
are probably so situated that one of
the parents can manage to visit the
school and become acquainted with its
problems. so far as his own children
are concerned.
