CHRISTMAS KEEPS KIDDIEs BUSY
One wise mother thought of a way

one wise mother thought of way
to keep the children quiet and it is
told about in the December Woman's S
Home Companion The writer says:
"One year it chanced that the chill
dren were all suffering with severe
colds and must be kept indoors for a
few days before Christmas. The
mother was at her wits end to keep
them entertained and quiet, when lit
tie Annie, after whispered confer
ence with her brothers. came to her
mother and asked timidly: Couldn't
we make something for the Christ
mas tree?' Why not?' thought the
harassed mother, ready to grasp at
any relief. Accordingly she brought
out a store of colored paper, supplied
paste, scissors and sewing materials.
and arranged a table on which the
children could work. They made gilt
and silver stars cornucopias and tiny
baskets from flowered wall paper, and

" HEI rs
PUT THE SCHOOL YARD FIRST
Some Truth In Writer'S Criticism Of
Communities Methods IN
America.

II II were not pathetic one could
well laugh to see how fooIishly the
average small town and rural com
munity expends its time and money
upon outdoor ornamentation Ere
quentIy the only well-cared-for spot
is the cemetery, the abode Of the
dcad-past all earthly help. The
school yard, where character Is formed
and lasting Impressions are made, is
as bare as a paved street. From no
standpoint may any tenable argument
be made that the dead are entitled
to greater consideration or better sur
roundings than our children. who are
but clay in the hands of the parent
potter. He who cares properly for
the living is never lacking in respect
for those who have passed away.
Another fact has often puzzled the
writer; to see community making
efforts to raise fund to purchase
and ornament q public square when
their district school yard, Of equal
dimensions, was entirely bare OF trees
or plants. Is it not strange that the
only plat IN a district In which all
have common ownership should be the
barest and most unsightly yard Ia
the community? no plausible excuse
can be given for such condition-it
costs but little to get started right
Almost every one in the district can
spare a plant or easily-grown cuttings
Of the harder plants. Get started on
the right plan and do not leave too
much to the teacher, who IS apt 10
be changed every year; the work
must be carried out under the super
vision Of permanent residents. Have
plenty Of room In the school yards
and put It to beneficial use. We do.
