summer drove out into the country
about 8 miles from Rupert and stopped
to chat with homesteader. His
house was a modest structure costing
probably not to exceed $3.50. The place
was well shaded with Carolina poplars
and had well-kept white clover lawn
in front.
Il observed power line leading d.
rectly to the house and inquired about
1t. The farmer said he was one of the
directors In the Farmers Electric Co.

poses. My curiosity was aroused, and
l went into the house to investigate.
Il found every room lighted and
heated with electricity. In the kitchen
was a large electric range, the very
latest on the market, with four hot
plates. large oven, and a Droiler. Wa
ter for stock and household use was
pumped electrically, and the same
force will be used about the barn for
various purposes. This unpretentious

to displace Its predecessor, each ef-
fort thus receiving its due share of
attention and appreciation. Where
there are several children II should
be possible to provide large paper en-
velopes and boxes In which these early
treasures may be kept.
Every mother knows that young
children can be nuisance and In the
way just when they are trying to help
with some work" The number OF
peas that the baby can shell or the
area that the child can sweep will
contribute little to tightening the days

ton is not to be measured thus. II
Is to be measured In good will. in ap-
plication and in the satisfaction that
eomes-or should come-from having
made a worthy effort at doing some
thing useful. We should therefore
not bellttle the achievement or make
the child feel that his assistance is
worthless.
The child works In the spirit of the
artist. He is not seeking material re.
wards; he wants the satisfaction OF
doing something that has meaning and
he wants appreciation. Without these
he will become either q shirker, shun-

one kind o. another. II is therefore
necessary not only that opportunities
be furnished for doing various kinds Of
work. but that the first awkward at
tempts be appreciated In way that
will lead to further effort. And this
Is just as true Of attempts at singing
or inyention-invention Of a song or
story, for example-as 1t is of at
tempts at making some object or
drawing that others may handle or
exhibit.
While this doctrine of appreciation
does not permit US to bellttle the
child's efforts. 1t still leaves US free
to help the child with criticisms cal
culated to enable him to increase his
work. But we should call attention to
such defects only as he is In a posi-
tion to remedy himself and without
too much effort. II the dolls dress Is
too long. it's simple matter to cut 1t
down. But II it's too short we note
that it's a very nice dress, and think
we'll make the next one little long
er. The repeated emphasis on defects
OF design or execution may have the
effect Of improving the child's taste or
judgment; but they are more likely to
discourage all effort.
A child that sees too clearly the
shortcomings Of his efforts will refuse
to do anything at all. This was the
case with four-year-old Herbert. whose
sense OF form was so far ahead of his

after one or two attempts, to try

When little Allan's mother failed
to recognize the child's drawing as
that of lamp" she was wise enough
to take to herself the blame-"How
stupid Of me" For. after all, you can
recognize even the lamp II you are
told what 1t is supposed to be. And
so the burden of keeping keen the
edge Of effort rests upon US. But don't
let the child become conceited.

Serum to Save Drowning Persons.

Experiments are being made with
a serum which is said to have been
used with success in restoring cases
Of asphyxiation and drowning In ami
mails several hours after life has been
to all appearances extinct. There ap-
pears to be one drawback In the re-
suit thus far. however, In that In many
instances there have been serious
after effects such as high blood press
ure or hardening of the arteries. If
the serum is to be perfected, as ap-
pears to be likely, the physicians are
of the opinion that 1t can be injected
several hours after the accident and
restore life. In one case the serum
was used on an animal that had been
apparently dead from drowning for q
period Of four hours. The animal was
brought back to life, though 1t died
later from blood pressure.

SHOULD KEEP THE CREATIONS
Il Is the Pleasant "How Nice" That

Children.
BY slpoNIE M. eRuENeERe.

As each childs name was called he
stepped forward and received from
the kindergarten the result of his ef-
forts at making something" Or some
.ember of the home. The children
were gay and they were anticipating
the joy of giving. 1t was = pleasure
to watch them. But when Genevieye's
name was called new note was
struck. please, Miss White" she
said, my mother does not want me
to bother her any more with the
things | make" And Miss White laid
Genevieye's calendar aside.
1t Is not difficult to see the point OF
view expressed in Geneyieye's plain
tive abnegation. There is really no
room for all these things Il home.
We have all the calendars md blot
ters and picture frames and shaving
pads that we really need. And as for
ornaments, these things are not par
ticularly beautiful, and If they are, as
may sometimes happen, they do not
harmonize with the scheme Of things
already installed, and, besides, they
gather dust, and there are few homes
that have not already too many dust
catchers. We can well understand
that Geneyieve's mother was weary of
calendars and bookmarks.
But Miss White is also weary of
calendars and bookmarks. Where
one mother has had half dozen she
has 1ad hundreds. She manages to
smile, however, in spite of the clutter
and In spite Of the obvious monotony
through curious trick Of the mind
which it would be well for Genevieve's
mother and other mothers to learn.
The trick is this: Instead of dealing
with calendars and bookmarks, she
fixes her mind upon the efforts Of the
tots. she sees trial and tribulation,
she sees wonder and experiments,
where the rest of us see only crude
limitations Of tulips or apple bios
SONS.
Notwithstanding the high rentals
we have to pay 1t ought to be pos
sible for every mother to keep each
chlld's tokens of struggle and con-
quest for some time at least. For
nothing Is more important to the
child than that his meager and un-
successful attempts at mastering his
material surroundings should receive
generous encouragement. And while
much Is gained by having someone
stand by and cheer him when he fal-
ters. that Is not enough. The prod
uct, poor though 1t be, is the symbol
Of an idea. an inspiration. and de-
serves the courtesy Of serious and
dlgnified attention from parents and
other elders The calendar is as wor-
thy of place on the wall as any
thing you can buy at the store, for
by honoring 1t you teach the child
that his efforts are not wasted. As
for taste in calendars, leave that to
the years.
OF course It is not necessary to
display all of the child's creations or
to convert the home into an indus
trial museum. 1t Is In fact, the lat
est trophy that carries the greatest
interest, and the latest may be made
