"Waiting and losing time
mean nothing to the child"

to do with the common activities Of
the family Being late should come
TO mean an infringement upon the
time Of others. We will make allow
ances for delays, but we should not be
made to wait unnecessarily. This is
the lesson that the child should learn
first OF all in the matter OF time and
appointments.
But waiting and closing time" mean
nothing to the child until he has
learned to appreciate time for himself.
In this the watch as marker Of
time units is of great value. We APP
preciste time as the substance Of life
To the child it means the enjoyment
Of activities and sensations that are
marked, not only byNntensity but also
by duration. To enjoy the games and
the reading and the dreaming of
dreams is to live. To be able TO
measure the duration of these things,
by noting from time to time the pass
ing Of an hour or two, is 70 learn
the value of minutes in terms Of how
much life the minutes can yield.
Penalties and reproofs may direct
the child's attention to the fact that
adults attach some significance TO time
But they will not teach him to eval-
uate time for himself. For this he
must have guidance and assistance Of
a positive kind.

On the Cunard liner Orduna, which
arrived yesterday from Liverpool, came
a Canadian woman who was proclaimed
by passengers and crew as a model
OF fortitude and courage for all Eng
lish and Canadian mothers.
She is Mrs. Phoebe Amory. Of Tor
onto She looks younger than her
sixty years, and was exceedingly cheer
full, Notwithstanding the troubles that
have been heaped upon her within the
last year.
Her pluck and optimism was known
in England before she embarked on
the Orduna. Although she tried to
keep her story to herself, it became
known and she mas made much OF By
travellers and crew.
Mrs. Amory has FIVE sons-that is, she
hopes she has five sons-for four OF
them went out on the battlefront in
France three weeks ago. She hopes
they are alive and will come back to
her victorious at the end of the war.
At her home in Toronto is one son
who has not yet Joined the Canadian
troops. He is merely awaiting his
mothers return. When she is back
again in Toronto he will leave her
alone and join his four brothers at the
front. Does she regret it? Not Mrs.
Amory.
81 think as much of my sons as any
mother could, she said, "but | am
proud of their valor and patriotism.
We all love one another, but we love
our country best of ALL"
Early in the campaign, when Canada
was mobilizing, four sons Of Mrs.
Amory offered their services to the
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1915-08-17

Of themselves. And she Furnishes them
if they come home late; she expects
them thus to learn to know time and
the value of time.
There is no doubt that in the course
Of months or of years those children
will learn to come home betimes and
to keep engagements through the
method pursued by their mother. But
! wondered whether the same results
could not be attained without the irri-
tations and ill-feeling that this method
seemed to bring forth. The method Of
rewards and punishments Is the most
ancient one, and has produced valua-
Bile results. But it is in many ways
crude as we'll as ancient, and 1t is GER
tainly not universally the best.
Why Not O WatchY
asked the mother whether the child
had a watch or any other means Of
knowing the time. "No," she said; "he
is too careless to have a watch. II
he had one I'm sure he would forget
TO wind it or he would get it out of
order in a week"
as it fair" asked her, ITO expect
the child to know what time it is when
he has no means of finding out? |
wonder how many adults; with all their
experience, would know that it was
time to stop when in the midst Of some
interesting pastime. if they had no out
ward sign or warning?"
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1915-08-17

It would seem that the burden OF
responsibility for supplying the infor-
nation or the means for getting Il in
a matter of this kind should be as
srmed altogether by the parent.
Where there is no public clock in the
vicinity of the children's play, ar
rangements should be made for In
forming them Of the passage Of time.
, We should see to it that at least one
of the children in the group has
watch, for children that are old enough
to play without supervision are old
enough to learn how to care for a
watch, as we'll as how to read the time.
They can also be taught to look at the
watch from time TO time, until they
have learned to feel about how much
play they can accomplish in an hour
or in half an hour. Watches that are
sufficiently reliable for all ordinary
purposes are cheap enough nowadays,
so that every child should have the ad-
tage OF owning one.
Acquiring Time Sense"
For the watch can be made useful
instrument in the education Of the
child AS soon as he is able TO read
time he can become his own time
keeper, although some children learn
this much more easily than others
Providing some positive means for
keeping track of the passing minutes
is a much more satisfactory way OF

FOUR SONS AT THE FRONT,
MOTHER TO SEND HER LAST

Survivor of Lusitania, Will Go to Canada
to Repeat Her Farewell.

British government. After they had
zone the lonely mother began to think
Of them, and Of her own mother,
widow OF Lieutenant William Sledges
formerly Of the British navy.
Suddenly she packed a few belongs
ings and booked passage on the Cun-
ard liner Lusitania, and was thrown
into the sea when that vessel went
down off the Old Head Of Kinsale on
the Irish Coast on May 7.
She held a life preserver in hev
hand at the time and was hauled along
side a llfeboat by a man who helped
her put on the belt. She was taken
ashore by trawler and after assist
ing the survivors started for London
TO find her mother. A few days after
her arrival in England she found that
her mother had died do or two
before the Lusitanif was torpedoed. !.
The British Wal Office heard OF
Mrs. Amory's predicament and she was
sent for by one of the secretaries.
81 have heard your story" he said
to her, "and my chief has directed that
your three sons now in France and one
at the Salisbury training camp be sent
for You will have day or two 10
spend with them"
The secretary lived up to his prom
Use. 1t took some time to accomplish
it, but the great machinery Of the War
Office was working for Mrs. Amory and
her visit to England was not entirely
in vain.
Before she left Liverpool Mrs. Amory
learned that three of her nephews mad
been killed in the fighting at the Dar-
danelles. Two died before Gallipoi
and one who was wounded there died
at Malta.
Burdened with her SORROWS. Mrs.
Amory found time to speak in the
streets of London and exhorted thous-
ands of women to urge their ablebod-
led sons and brothers to 90 out in de-
fence of their country.

lum door that even the most Idstlulous

Skin Food Never Was.
81 said the massage was the only
value, but there is, too, the softening
of the outer skin. But feeding the
skin? Nonsense. There's no such
thing. Skin food can no more be ap-
piled externally than can muscle food
or nerve food. There was a court de-
cision on that once and the court de-
clared that a claim to feed the skin
externally was false claim and that
the firm was guilty of fraudulent rep
resentation.
"Now, it may be all right to use pink
dyed stuff to become beautiful, but a
much surer way is to dig in the garden
or sweep the house with the windows
open. Beauty may be skin deep, but
skin depends upon what's under it, not
what's outside of it,"

laughed.

grow" she said. $50 of course the ad-
vertisement that proclaims its virtue

a bit, but as for the cream acting as an
inducenent to the growth Of hair,

creamers do cash in on it! l wonder
