In this series of articles some OF the
most marked and significant phases of
development in each year of the childs
life. through to his sixth year will be
discussed. and methods will be suggested
for their training.

be carefully conserved. Ii is a period of

through excitement. fatigue, stimulation

During the first three months OF his

opportunity for establishing good phys

The first of these is regularity.

also of self-control. appreciation Of law.

come at a regular. fixed time as pre-

regular rhythm. Irregularity now means
an irritated. disordered. spoiled nervous
system. difficult to bring into control

The second Of these is self-reliance.

Sweetg in the Field.

The change of food that one makes
when first going into the woods is apt
TO produce digestive disturbances, but
even when the system has recovered
from these there is almost sure to be
a sense Of something missing in the
diet. Sugar and acid are both lacking
in most cases, and are missed. Sugar
is a fuel for the human engine, and
the wise camper will take it along in
the form of sweet chocolate, jelly pow
der, or some such form. Our troops
in Cuba in '9S clamOred for candy.
Davis tells of one husky doughboy
who'd "sell his soul for a chocolate
caramel" The recent punitive expe-
dition into Mexico has developed the
same clamor for sweets, much to the
surprise Of the daily press.

that was introduced by him into South
Africa. The story Is told In the Daily
London Chronicle. While Kitchener
was in India some of the qcQuaint-

wrote to him that their wheat was suf-
fering from rust and that they had
heard that Tibetan wheat was immune
from this disease. Could he send
them a few bushels? He sent the
wheat and that was an end of the
matter, as he thought.
Some years afterward he was at
NairObi, and saw a few acres of
growing wheat, named Kitchener

RULES TRUANCY is A CRIME
Many Lawyers May Lose Shingles as
the Result of a New York
Courts Opinion.

The status Of one who has spent q
term in a truant school is the same
as that of a criminal who has served
a sentence in prison, according to a
decision of the appellate division Of
the supreme court, and on this ruling
lawyers, physicians and employees In
the civil service who In their youth
were detained in truant schools may
be debarred from the practice of their
professions or dismissed.
1t is estimated that In New York
are several hundred lawyers and ply
sicianS who at one time were inmates
Of truant schools. Nearly every law
yer and physician who heard Of the
decision recalled offhand from two
to dozen colleagues who had had
that experience, and one eminent at
torney was mentioned who delighted
to boast that he had been committed
to a state institution as truant.

There are few persons meaner
than those who Try to get from q
child facts about the parents and home
OF the little one.
Some persons cuitivate children for
this express purpose.
They encourage the youngsters 10
talk about their home affairs, and pick
from them bits OF information they
hope to use in future conversation
with the neighborS. And yet these
very people would be indignant II you
should call them snoopy"
The little ones feel fattered by the
attention they are given and readily
talk about what father or mother said
and what they did.
Often they repeat remarks which
have been made about the neighbors
and invariably this causes trouble.
To stir up strife and Ill feeling Is
just what the prying person wants,
and the children make the best OF
tools.
Children are likely 10 forget, or get
the wrong idea OF what is said. and
give 1t different Interpretation from

In this way parents are often cred
