We are making many discoveries In
these days about the queer beings we
ourselves are. Whether these discover
les are owing to the close study of
psychology, both of children and of
the human race as a whole, that is
many learned men or whether We are
really developing along the spiritual
side Of our nature, as John Ftske In
his fine and thoughtful book, The
Destiny OF Man." claims, IT is certain
that We now know more about the
mysterious forces that control our
minds and bodies than has been sus-
pectsd since our era began.
The wonderful power that lies In
suggestion, both Interrogation and
in the influence OF one mind upon an
other, is one OF the greatest of the Sc
crets that have been revealed to US Of
late years. The publication few years
ago Of Drummond's Natural Law in
the Spiritual World" and his De-
yelopment of the Sour led many per-
sons to seek for fuller knowledge of
the strange subjects he wrote about.
Since his time, scores Of writers, good,
bad and Indifferent. have been dis
cussIng these interesting and vital
topics, and nowadays the mother who
does not give some attention to the
psychology of the child but goes on
in the old blind way, dealing with the
little ones committed to her care with
the sternness and lack of spiritual per-
ception that characterized the early
Puritan methods, does not deserve to
have children.
In the letters from the many mem
bers of our mothers clubs. am pleased
to learn that most of the mothers Of
today are taking note of the modern
thought about their business Of child
rearing. wish I could quote to you
half Of the letters I get from different
members. some of them asking advice
about better methods OF training chii-
dren, and many, very many. telling me
OF discoveries they have made for
themselves in trying to put into prac-
tice some Of the things they have
learned from the new books on the
subject. One I must give you. as it so
we'll illustrates the subject am trying
to talk to you about today. 1t filled
my heart with gladness, for l felt that
, the day has at last come when our
helpless little ones will no longer be
treated with the cruelty-unconscious
often. il Is true-that has been their
lot in the years that have gone by.
This mother wrote:
Dear Aunt Chatty: The books you

ORCHESTRA CONCERT
DELIGHTS AUDIENCE
Stokowski Affords Miss Florence
Eiinkle Opportunity of Gladenins
Hearts of Music Lovers.

Conductor Leopold Stokowski very
generously placed two song numbers
on the program Of the Philadelphia
Orchestra at the National Theater yes
terday afternoon, giving the soloist
Miss Florence Hinkle. opportunity to
display her artistry in two arias dis
similar in character.
The first song number, Dove Sono,
from the Marriage of Figaro" by
Mozart, a graceful aria of purest mel
ody was successfully sung by Miss
Hinkle. with clear bell-llke tones, es-
pecialiy lovely in the upper register
More dramatic opportunity was af-
forded Miss Hinkle in Micaela's aria
from Carmen" by Bizet, and very
appealing were the subdued passages
while in the more emotional phrases
her voice was wonderfully vibrant
Miss Hinkle's singing charmed the au-
dience and she was recalled after
each song, receiving as tributes bou-
quets of roses.
Heavy chords by the full orchestra
opened the first number on the pro-
gram, Mozart's symphony in f fiat
and led to a rhythmic waltz by the
violins, repeated by the basses. The
second movement, Andante, is a
smooth flowing melody of melancholy
beauty by the strings, gradually grow
ing more impassioned with heavier
harmony. The minuet is vigorous and
lively and the trio is a lovely solo by
the first clarinet with accompaniment
by the second. The finale fairly ra-
dates joy and cheerfulness and
abounds with different themes and
variations, developing in rapid sue
cesslon.
The exquisite music of Mendels-
sohn's "A Midsummer Nights Dream
teeming with wonderful melodies, be-
longs in that magic realm where tt
tania, with her train of fairies, elves
and saucy goblins. holds moonlight
revels. while witches threaten. This
number was rendered by the orchestra
with polished elegance, and elicited
the heartiest applause of the after
noon.
The closing overture, Carnival de
Paris" by Svendsen. was a bewilder-
ing array of joyous themes by the
strings, alternating with deeper har-
monies by the full orchestra and end
ing with climax of tremendous vol

upN to be a bad man whom nobody
would love.
Now, in my new knowledge, can
see that I was making him bad by
suggesting to him that he must be
bad. He felt that IL he was just moth
ing but bad and could not help but
grow up to be a bad man. why then
there was no use in his trying to be
good. / don't suppose he reasoned all
that out to himself; it was the i'm
preston made upon his subconscious
self that made him feel that way, but
thank goodness, your help came before
1t was too late. / am now using the
power of suggestion to make him think
he lis a good boy and will grow up to
be a good man. Every night when he
goes to bed 1 sit down beside his lit
tie bed and talk to him about the
things he has done during the day. I
make a kind Of little story out of them
and don't blame him for anything he
has done wrong. just say good boys
would do this, or bad boys would have
done that
During the day, when he is naughty,
I do not scold him nor do ! whip him
to try to make him do the things 4
tell him to. II he refuses, I say to
him as gently as I can:
well. son, you must do as you
think best. You have good judgment
of your own, and mother cannot force
you to do anything. Just sit down by
yourself and think If you really feel
that way about it. II you do after
you have thought about 1t, it shall be
as you please

besides, he seldom has the terrible

boy"
Won't some other of our mothers tell
US il they have tried this plan and

Mrs. James T. writes: My little
boy is just possessed to run away. How
in the world can I break him of this
troublesome habitT'
One of our mothers tells me she
cured her child of running away by
bringing him back and tying him to
the bedpost in a room by himself for
a certain specified time after each
escapade. He soon began to dread the
restriction so much that he ceased
to run away.
Mrs. L N J. writes: IT went to tell
my little children stories OF the old
myths so as to familiarize them with
the things every educated person
should know about. Can you tell me
where I can get these stories?'
Hawthorne's "Wonder Tales" the
Boys King Arthur" and The Book
of Myths" by Jean Lang are few of
the books for children that will give
you a beginning of the things you
want.

But it was eight-tfirty.
And he met his wife and child

As well as he could speak them.
