And so We are artincially turning to

help US bring back to the children those

But perhaps It Is not too late to make
some Of our children learn these lessons
Of discipline by giving them definite
daily tasks Of work-sone work In the
home for which they shall be response

the spirit Of the home.
The most wonderful family ever knew

Teachers Own Behavior.

case Of Mrs. Griswold. one OF the
dismissed teacher-mothers. DR.. Ira
g. VILE. Of the Board OF Educa-
ton raises a point which the issue
as to the boards rule against ma
ternity should not be permitted to
obscure. He taxes the teacher In
this instance with resorting to eva
sion, in answering the questions OF
her employer as to the reason for
her absence from duty.
The ordinary employer may or
may not see At to discharge
worker for the failure to own up
to some moro or less Objectionable
shortcoming. However that may
be as to clerks and hired hands.
the case Of the teacher differs. The
person In charge OF a class Of chill
dren teaches not only by book and
blackboard but by example. The
pupil is soundly reprimanded for
every callow ruse Of deceit or in
sincerity in his school hours.
Are the teachers to serve as an
example Of honest behavior to the
scholars or are they to be allowed
to CODY the juvenile lapses Of their
own wards Of the classroom? Surely
not the latter. Unless we are great

I've only but to bend my head
To see the Western skies grow red
Beyond the home used to know,
And hear the gentle cattle low
As they come to the pasture bars,
And see the vanguard Of the stars
Come dimly into the pale sky,
And hear the whipporwill's sad cry,
And feel the all-pervading love
OF the old home l wearied of.
And have but to close my eyes
to hear nv mothers lulabis,
And feel myself grow young again:
And be a boy as l was then,
With cotton line and alder pole
Beside the old-time fishing hole,
Neglecting line and hook and bait.
And sitting till the hour grows late.

With all on earth to make him glad
Waiting with longing for the years
OF disappointment and of tears,
The wears are good. the tasks to do.

Problem In Childhood,

The city Of Philadelphia faces Z
tremendous problem In education.
January the new child labor law
goes into effect. and an army OF boys
and girls will! be flung back on the
schools. The Manufacturer Asso-
citation says 10000 children In Penn
sylvania between the ages Of four
teen and sixteen will be absolutely
dismissed from work rather than be
allowed the eight hours schooling a
week which the law provides. The
head Of the Trade School. which Is
preparing teachers to deal with the
situation. says that 10000 boys and
girls In the State. $4,000 In l'hila-
delphia alone. will have to be sup
piled with that minimum of eight
hours school work.
There are two problems here. but
only one answer. The two problems
are. first. the taking care of more
full-time students in an already over
crowded system and. second. sup
plying Just the right sort of special
lied instruction to fit in with the stu.
dents factory work and to lead the
student to want more and higher
education.
The answer lies along new lines.
1t Is akin to the policy now adopted
Of preparing new teachers for this
special work. but II goes farther. 1t
Is the experimentation with some Of
the new methods Of organiza ton
and instruction so successfully tried
out In the schools of Gary. Ind Mr.
Writ. the founder Of the Gary sys-
tenn. not only succeeds in interest
ing children in both a liberal and a
vocational education - interesting
them so much that they prefer the
school house to the playground-bu
he has succeeded, by a system akin
to rotation Of crops" in housing
and teaching twice as many chill
dren with the same number OF
buildings and instructors. New York
heard OF this work and sent for
Mr.. Writ to put certain school build
ings in line with his Indiana organi-
zation. The working out Of the
venture in the Eastern city, as we'll
as its success in the Western, Is
worth the very serious attention Of
so education -burdened city as

Fall Shoe STYLES.

4 New York news item purporting to
give the trend of shoe styles for fall
was recently sent broadcast over the
country. This was so misleading that
at meeting Of Washington Shoe Re-
tailers held recently the following in
formation was given out. Shoes of con-
servative pattern and the so-called
novelties will both be proper this fall
The discriminating buyer will, there
fore. find in Washington stores this
fall plenty OF plain. rich looking styles
as well as many beautiful color COM
binations and other striking new effects.
Shoe styles will be more attractive and

Wvy HAVE heard of the servant
M problem discussed from
'" ffty-seven angles. but pos
sibly the viewpoint mere rep
resented will be the ffty-eighth. which
may have escaped attention before.
That is. the children and the servant
problem. Why, what do l mean? Mere
ly that owing to the presence Of SER
wants in the home the child Is being
deprived Of a great deal of proper
training. Modern homes with their per-
fection of heating systems. and modern
telephone plans have robbed
the modern child Of a great many
actual kinds Of work and training.
As a famous and influential gentle
man once said to me: Il owe great
deal OF my success to the family wood
pile: We know that Lincoln and other
famous men openly acknowledged the
training and discipline they received
from the doing Of some unpleasant
drudgery tasks about the home.
Helping Mother Obsolete.
There is no longer any woodpile;
there is no longer a pail Of ashes to be
enptied; hardly a porch to be shoveled
off,. or kitchen fire to be lighted. In
families with extensive service. the
children are dressed and undressed.
their toys put away for them, and they
are robbed of all the chances which
the self-made man Of today received IN
his youth.
1t may not be a foolish idea that the
presence of servants is removing chill
dren from many points of contact with
actual life. and prevents them from
doing many home tasks which children
do In homes where there are no serv-

Much Time Wasted

Perhaps 1t is not out Of place
here to call attention to the huge
amount OF time which the ordinary
process Of washing and wiping in
wolves, remarks the Edison Monthly.
There Is, probably no household Of
six or more in which at least three
hours a day are not spent in this
tedious and uninviting operation.
And three hours 10 a quarter Of an
average woman's working day.
Counting dishwashing and drying

than u cents an hour, inside Of
year the washing machine would
more than pay for itself. 1t GER
tainly is a safe prophecy to venture
that within the next decade dish
