VACATION DAYS.
(By Mrs. X. w. Neyi

(By Mrs. X. w. Ney;
Just what does the vacation NEAR
to our school children? After six O
nine months of systematic employ
ment and efforts intelligently direct
ed, certain results from its own in
dustry being required daily until i
has become habit. Then come tn,
vacation days.
Looked forward to generally b!
boys and girls not attending summer
school as a time for rest (idlenes,
rather) and freedom from control, il
point of employment and conduct.
And it is just here that we wish
to ask what bearing this same aban
d0nment of discipline and methodi.
cal routine has upon the ehild's men
tai and moral development.
Through the preceding months
from the hour of rising until bed
time each night they feel, more OF
less, the vigilence of either paren'
or teacher.
So with the close of school thu
days are completely disorganized
and children are often left to theil
own initiative and inclinations t.
find occupation and amusement
through the long summer days anl
evenings.
It is this lack of discipline and dis.
continuance from its esta blished rou.
tine which SO demoralizes the chill
out of school and becomes q rea
handicap in its education.
For the adult any depression from
the customary routine is, at least
disconcerting. Should we wonder
then if the child, with its energized
growing body and alert, investigat-
ing mind, is even more confused al
being cast adrift for three and even
six months without the steadyine
force of the former wise supervision
and discipline?
During the school term regular
habits are formed such as early ris-
ing, bathing, careful dressing, hours
for study reserved, and time for play
taken systematically. And tn e {
rules should hold through the entire
summer and be strictly observed un.
til they have become an unfailing
custom with the child.
The power and influence OF habit
upon our lives is irrefu.abie aud Its
force for good or evil equally true.
So that today, educators and all
thoughtful mothers place the great
est emphasis upon the vaule Of CO..
rect habit formation in the training
and education of the young.
Realizing the significance Of this

It's a pretty good plan to forget it.
II you know of thing that will

That will wipe out smile, or the
least way annoy
A fellow, or cause any gladness tc
