Here is a typical example of the
way many parents help their
children in their school work.
A boy, ten years of age, en-
gagged in writing a little essay
which had been assigned as a
home task, wished to use the
word Ordinary 1t seemed a
little strange to him, and he had
got into the habit of always ask
ing for assistance whenever he
came to anything new, either In
spelling or in any other study. So
he called out to his mother, How
do you spell ordinary"
The mother spelled il for him,
and he wrote 1t down as she die
rated IL. She did not ask him to
make an effort TO spell IL himself.
After she had spelled it, she
did not require him to spell IL
after her. She made no test to
see whether he really learned the
word, or whether he had simply
written 1t mechanically in order
to get through with the special
task in hand.
IL Is practically certain
that he did not learn TO spell
ft, because he was not i'm a
learning frame of mind. He
simply wanted to be helped
out of his present difficulty;
and he was utterly iBdiffer-
emit to a possible future need
I'm regard to this same word.
In this same respect he was en-

tirely natural. Nature does not
make an unframed child anxious
about future needs. IL a child
on his own initiative were con-
stantly thinking of future needs
and learning that would help him
to meet these needs. he would
cease to be a child.
The difference between an I'M
trained and undeveloped child.
and one who is well trained and
well developed, lies mainly in the
fact that the latter is conscious of
future needs and plans to meet
them, while the former is con-

The reason for this great un-

cannot understand that they can
not arrogate privileges to them
selves which they deny TO us.
It is not a question of women
getting their rights-most of us

to see that what is right for them

 "Antinous, disappointed, desiccated physicist, was peeling potatoes in an embarrassing and harassing way. His idiosyncrasy and privilege was to eat mayonnaise and mussels while staring at the Pleiades and seizing peoples tri. cycles and velocipedes. He was an erring teetotaler and had been on a picayune jamboree. He rode palfrey stallion and carried a salable papier mache bouquet of asters, phlox, mul. lein. chrysanthemums, rhododendrons. fuchsias and nasturtiums.
 "He wore a sibyrs resplendent tur- quoise paraphernalia, an ormolu yash- mak and astrakhan chaparejos. He drank crystallizable and disagreeable curacao juleps through a sieve. He stole some moneys and hid them under a peddlers mahogany bedstead and mattress.
 "Like a flend in an ecstasy of gayety 1 rushed after him into the maelsuom, or melee, and held him as in wise. I could not feaze him, however, and he addressed me, with autocracy, in the following imbecile words, which sound- ed like solloquy or a superseding paean on an oboe: You are a ratable lunamoth. a salaaming vizier. an equi- noctial coryphee and an isosceles da- Ruerreotype."-New York Mail
