Too Much Heathenism in
Preparation For Weddings

TOO much heathenism in the pre-
paration for weddings and too little OF
the simplicity Of civilization" accord
ing to the Rev. Harvey Klaer, pastor
caused the marriage state to deterio-
rate.
Continuing the Rev Mr.. Klaer said:
The foolishness of modern prepara-
tions often cause the bride to enter the
marriage state broken in health. The
Joking and rowdyism which accom-
panies many Of our marriage services
never healed. If we could only sur
round the service with sweet sim
picity, we would confer a great boon
upon the young people of the land.

When we undertake TO cultivate the arts for

consideration in the selection of instructors is
commonly considered to be the artistic achieve

his attitude toward children We may indeed find
a talented artist who is also satisfactory
teacher; but the combination is extremely rare.
The accomplished artist is likely 20 see in the
pupil a potential performer or creator, and to
have little patience when the symptoms of talent
are slow to manifest themselves. When talent is
discovered it will be time enough to train for
specialization.
Whether we provide special instruction for chill
dren not, we at least put forth an effort
to make the surroundings in the home contribute
as much as possible 10 the cultivation of taste.
This requires an effort, but is worth what it costs

performing, extending to ever larger circles Of
population, there came a more critical recog-
milton of the real quality of our vulgarized play

the mechanical reproduction of good music and
OF good pictures being very largely responsible
for this in making accessible TO almost every
person the opportunity to hear and see the best
as we'll as the tawdry. Moreover our thinking
about the development Of the mental and emo
tiona life, as problems in education and training
has brought us to a realization of the more valu-
able part Of the childs contact with art forms.
We are thus in position TO look upon the arts
in the life of the child in terms Of charging the
childs life, and not in terms OF performing for the
approval or admiration of others. And we are In
a position TO think Of the training from the lay
point of view rather than from the professional

the child may thus be enabled TO find himself, that
he may acquire further means of expression, that
he may add to. his enjoyment Of life through
acquaintance with the emotional resources OF the
various arts For most children that is, the study
Of music and drawing should be not primarily for
the purpose of cultvating technical proficiency,

carver can cut down through both light and

bone slip knife under each prong and cut

this sinew, taking care not to cut any OF the

The breast skin is turned over again after

tucked under the wing or, if necessary, sewed

The last thing to do to the turkey before

early to impress upon little people that cordial

Even when children are too young TO compe-

to greet people in a manner that will become
part of their natures in later life.
With some fortunate persons cordial manner
does not have to be cultivated and they are often
unconscious Of just how valuable asset this
cordial manner of greeting will prove.
Men and women Of our acquaintance who offer
us limp, apparently lfeless hands, have, no doubt
never had their attention called TO the fact
They are not aware that their greeting lacks h.
element of good feeling, and though the heart
may be warm, this feeling does not show Itself
by the hand.
A certain successful short-story writer Is known
among his associates to give what they call a
two-fngered handshake." Occasionally some one
Of his large-handed friends gets hold Of three
fingers, but seldom He had better not shake
