MENTAL FREEDOM
FOR CHILDREN

In recent issue Of the woman's Home
Companion the Importance of play ant
how 1t is brought out by the Montessor
system is discussed by Mary Heator
Worse. She writes as follows:
Most Of US poor mothers are so con-
scientious concerning the unsympathetic
toothbrush and SO uncomprehendingly
reaching forth OF the spirits Of our chill
dren that our only answer to some high
and developing moment is that Johnny
is getting SO excited he won't go to sleep
for an hour when he goes to bed These
are the moments when Montessori would
have US give our children complete free
dom.
Il think that most mothers would plead
guilty to regarding play lightly compared
with the Performance Of school tasks or
the various duties which are supposed to
be useful in development Of q child's
character In the home
Most Of US devise what we call
duties for a growing boy or girl to ae-
complish. with the result. ordinarily, Of
creating friction between our children
and ourselves, since these duties as a
rule are imposed arbitrarily, and no
sense Of responsibility has been deveI-
oped in the child from the beginning.
Il do not mean to imply that we
should cease our interest in our chill
dren's progress in school. But do mean
to point out that the one thing which
we do not inquire into is our children's
progress in play. Many Of us are very
careful indeed as to which children our
children play with. We like them to play,
especially when they are little. where
We can do what we call have an eye on
them"

The immense convenience of the tele-

an enormous effect In aeroplaning the

Marketing may be a buoyant, pleasant
duty or 1t may be a dull. hateful routine
of daily life. In either case it requires
some outlay of time and thought and
always an outlay of money. The only
way on earth to enjoy marketing is to

and though everybody nibbles politely.
most of the dainties are left on the
plates.
Tea and buttered mullins. always Of
fered by a certain hostess after the
bridge meeting at her home. make her
afternoons especially popular. Coffee and
sandwiches are also relished, but sweets
are better avoided. for few women really
want to eat them just before dinner and
are sorry when they do. though the
keen appetite of late afternoons makes
sweets especially pslatable.

cream cheese and chopped nuts is a

accompany the stuffed celery. To make

the purpose of Illustrating the initial
part of his lecture. He took his audi.

claim that he had attained the object

DR.. Cook re-opened the old contro-
versey between his and Commodore
PEARS claim, and also the controver-
sy that followed his claim Of having
reached tie summit of Mt Mckinley.
Whether DR.. Cook reached the pole
cr not, he saw enough OF the arctic
seas and endured enough hardships
for him to have constructed very in
teresting lecture, and if he had real
" reached the pole he could only
have seen a still more boundless ex-
panse Of snow and ice.
We think 1t fruitless TO re-instate
the old controversy. Commodore
Pearay's claim TO its discovery,is now
too well established for his claim to
be dethroned.
His claim has been established to
the entire satisfaction of the learned

TWO UTTERANcES OF ABRAHAM
LINCOLN

We append hereto two utterances
of Abraham Lincoln, that are becom-
ing immortal. One is a copy of let
ter which hangs in the University of
Oxford, England, and is pronounced
by that college as the finest specimen
of the English language ever written
in the form of letter.
Snatching a moment from the busy
cares of office, Mr.. Lincoln, while
president, wrote the letter to a Mrs.
Bixby, who had the misfortune to
lose five sons in battle.
Mr. Lincoln wrote to her as fol-
lows:
Dear Madam have been shown
in the files of the war department a
statement of the edjutant general Of
Massachusetts, that you are the moth
er of five sons, who died gloriously on
the field of battle. / feel how weak
and fruitless must be any words of
mine which should attempt to beguile
you from the grief of a loss so over
whelming. But l cannot refrain from
rendering to you the consolation that
may be found in the thoughts of the
republic they died to save. pray
our Heavenly Father may assuage the
anguish of your bereavement, and
leave you only the cherished memory
of the loved and lost, and the solemn
pride that must be yours to have laid
so costly a sacrifice upon the altar of
freedom.
Yours most sincerely and respect
fully,
ABRAHAM LINCOLN"
The following is the other utter
ance. 1t was his advice given to
young men:
Il like to see a man proud of the
place in which he lives. like to see
a man live in it so that the place will
be proud of him. Be honest, but hate
no one; overturn a mans wrong-do-
ing. but do not overturn him unless it
must be done in overturning the
wrong. Stand with anybody that
stands right. Stand with him while
he is right, and part with him when
he goes wrong."-Abraham Lincoln.

most eminent OF them.

eign relations. Mr.. Wilson has had to
be secretary Of state as well as presi-
dent during the last year.

such services as Mr. Moore was able
to render
