School Days

School days are close at hand. Are
the children ready? Will they go with
shining morning face" or dragging
unwilling feet to their appointed tasks?
If your child does not love to go to
school, try to inspire him with love for
it. Get acquainted with his teacher.
Learn who are his companions. Take
an interest in his studies and his amuse-
ments. Keep ever before him the
greater efficiency of the man with an
education. Show him the delight of
knowing things. Encourage the idea
of work while you work, and play
when you play" No school child is toe
old for play of some kind Outdoor
play especially is beneficial Teach your
child that he responsible for his conduct
and that he should be ashamed of pett
tricks on teacher or playmates. Above
all, keep the full confidence of your
child so that he will want to confide in
you the happenings of every day with
out fear The more you put him upon
his honor, the more he will have q
sense of honor on which you may rely.
All this takes time and attention, but
to what better use can time be spent?
One should be willing to sacrifice
amusement" for such things. Such
companionship will keep your child in
closer touch with you. His increased
love and respect will repay you gener-
ously, and he will be more and more the
JOY of your life. Milwaukee Journal.
