Now, It ought 70 be possible for most
children to get the benefits that may
be derived from association with the
lower animals. Even IN large cities,
where there are serious objections 20
the keeping OF dogs and cats, nearly
every home could manage 20 keep a
few live fish in far Of water or bird
in cage. Guinea pigs or pet mice
occupy little space, and that IS some
thing 20 consider in a small city fiat.
Guinea Pigs Evoked Many Questions.
The keeping Of live pets in the house
will, of course, give the child an OPP
portunity 70 learn great deal about
the ways OF the animals. This may not
be very valuable In itself, but it is valu-
able as a stimulus 10 thought. Theo-

the two weeks after he got his pair OF
guinea pigs than he had asked at any
time before or than he was likely ever
to ask again. The interest aroused
could not be equalled by any mechani-
cal contrivance that the shops might
offer.
But more important than any intel
lectual gain Is the probable effect on
the child's character and sentiments.
