CHILDREN'S CORNER
Nodding Daffodills

MINE little daffy-down-dillies peeped
IN out from under their covers of green
and looked at the world.
"What do you see?'' asked tho roots
away down under the ground.
IT see sunshine" said one.
81 see grass that is turning green" said
another.
"And see buds that are swelling" said
a third.
"Then you better go on with your grow
ing" advised the roots. So, without stop
ping for further talk, the daffy-down-dil-
lies settled down to grow.
So hard did they work and so faith
fully did they grow that by the time an
other day or two had passed, nine little
affy-down-dillies stood up straight and
tall and strong.
'What do you sec now asked the roots
when the flowers had grown enough that
they could rest a minute and talk.
''Now l see warmth ana freshness and
moro sunheams," said one.
II see grass that has turned green and
fresh" said another.
'And 1 see buds that have swollen till
the tree-tips are tinted pink and red and
green and yellow" said a third.
"Then you had better so on with your
growing and make yourselves taller and
stronger" advised the roots. SO without
further conversation the daffy-down-dil-
lies began working again.
Now Just at that very minute, who do
you suppose came darting into the yardR
A sparrow? a robin? No, neither of

paused for breath u minute and then
from there he called his greeting to his

The garden smiled, the sparrows twit-
tered and the cat-bird called from near
by tree. But the little red bird seemed to
look for something else.

TN THESE days OF everlasting mothers
i meetings. mothers clubs. societies FOR
the promotion Of this. that and the next
thing connected with chlld-wclfarc and
child-study, one really seems to hear
remarkably little about the educating Of
the father in parental duty and parental
responsibility.
The prevalent idea ia that all these
particular duties should fall entirely 70
the share of the mother, and with her and
her alone should rest the tho greater
part of the child's upbringing.
DIR. Ira s. Vile, the advocate OF parents
meetings. takes quite different view Of
the case. While conccdlns the part
which tho mother must play in the man
agoment of the child, he declares that
II is not merely mans right, but also
his duty and privilege. to have hand in
the child's government, too.
Tho average woman leaves the why's
and wherefores of her chIlds training too
much to instinct, declares Doctor Vile.
And instinct frequently gets one into sad
mistakes and errors OF Judgment In
stinct isn't safe guide for the suitable
training OF children. There should be a
regular course of instruction on the SUBJ
1ect, and every mother and every woman
who at any time is likely to become a
mother should go through this course
systematically and thoroughly.
This course of study in chlld-wclfnrc
should not be left solely to the woman
either. For It is up to the father to odu-
cate himself along these lines, too Let
the mans training for fatherhood start
during his school years" declares Doctor
VILE, "and let him learn there, first of all,
that his actions will have direct bearing
upon his children. He should carefully
study the subject OF hygiene, child psy-
chology, education and the various other
branches of knowledge which bear upon
the training of n child. Then, when he
becomes a father he will have a good
foundation upon which to base his fur
ther observation and studies as to the
practical application and adaptation Of
the theories which he has formulated"
Were this remarkable enthusiasm to
permeate through the boys and young
men of the country, there certainly would
be an Improvement in the forthcoming
generation. But it is not borne in on the
mind of the average schoolboy that some
day In the future he must train up chill
dren in the way they should go--he is far
too busy with other ideas.

a trying suit to match, and prefers to

TRAINING

By
ELLEN ADAER
The NetO Parents Clubs

At the same time, therc is no denying
the fact that parental responsibility
should always be mutual. and that the
father should take rs deep an interest in
the welfare OF his children as does the
mother. Doctor Wile's advocacy Of
parents clubs is an excellent thing, and
very much is to be learned through them
For the father can bring n new point Of
view to bear on the mothers training
and Judgment where the child is con-
ccrned, and can learn and contribute in
connection with such points as the child's
conduct, disposition, inclinations and
health.
The duty OF bringing up the child too
often devolyes entirely upon the mother.
For father is at business all day long
When he returns home at night there is
only a short interval before the child
goes off to bod, and father is too tired
TO bother much with him. AS far as
studying the child goes, tho modern father
doesn't bother much. fo believes that
that is the duty OF the mother and So
upon her It dcvolvcs.
This question or training the father
for the duties OF fatherhood is FAR from
being foolish or lmpracticahlc. Upon tho
contrary, It is ono that is going to come
very much to the fore in the near future,
For In every sort and variety Of business
problem, the old saving Is very true that
two heads are better than one, And the
bringing up Of child is something
