TRAINING TODAYS
BOYS AND GIRLS
How the Infant May Be Started in
the Ways Of Culture.
ART, LITERATURE AND MUSIC
Let the Child Know All He Can Of
These II You Would Refine His
Appreciation and Discover
His Capacity.
By slooNiE M. GRuENBERG.

COME time during the last century
y parents with solicitude for the high
er life of their children, and with the
means to give the children fuller OPP
portunities. discovered that training
in the 'arts" would add both to the en-
joyinent Of life and to the esteem of
their fellows But in providing the in
struction In music or painting they had
resort to musicians and painters. And
these specialists In art taught the chill
dren from the point Of view Of training
specialized performers, which most Of
the children were never going to be-
come. The result was in most cases
rather superficial accomplishment,
which had, Indeed, Its social value, but
which meant very little either as per-
formance or us enrichment 0f life.
Several things have happened To
make us change our attitude In these
matters. With all the bad performing
extending to ever larger circles of our
population, there came more critical
recognition of the real quality Of our
vulgarized playing and painting. There
came also. quite incidentally as II
were, growing appreciation of the
arts-the mechanical reproduction Of
good music and Of good pictures being
very largely responsible for this, in
making accessible to almost every per-
son the opportunity 10 hear aud see the
hest as well as the tawdry. Moreover,
our thinking about the development Of
the mental and emotional life. as prob
lens In education and training, has
brought us TO a realization Of the more
valuable part Of the chiId'S contact
with art forms.
We are thus in a position to look
upon the arts In the life Of the child
In terms of enlarging the child's life,
and not in terms of perform
ing for the approval or admiration
Of others. And we are In II position to
think Of the training from the profess
sional side. II then We still place be-
fore the child the clay or the paint
brush. the piano or the violin. II is not
so much In the hope of making name
for the family Rather is IL in the ex-
pecta'ion that the child may thus be
enabled to find himself. that he may
acquire further means of expression,
that he may add to his enjoyment Of
life through acquaintance with the
emotional resources Of the various
arts. For most children, that Is, the
study of music and drawing should be
not primarily for the purpose Of cult
waiting technical proficiency, but for
the purpose of cultiyating deeper ap-
preclations through an understanding
Of form, design, etc. This Is quite the
same as our teaching of literature TO
children Some Of them MAY become
creative artists-and this often In spite
Of the schooling-but for most children
we hope merely to Increase and to re-
fine the appreciation of good lltera-
ture.
Both for the purpose of refining the
appreciation and for the purpose Of
The Raymer enterprise., 1916-10-19

discovering the child's capacities we
should provide as many points Of con-
tact with art expression as We can pos
sibly command. II you provide piano
lessons for your child. even though
you do SO just because everybody Is
doing II, II is well. II you provide
dancing lessons, or singing, OF paint
Ing. 1t Is well. If you provide two or
three or four opportunities, 1t Is still
better. But how can We afford all
these things for every child, and how
can the child possibly get the time for
all these various lessons? II We at
tempted to add these special lessons
to the full day. we should be attempt
ing the impossible; nor would this be
desirable II we could manage ii. The
aim should be rather to incorporate
the arts into the life of the child, as
we already do In part. The handwork

ing and beadwork. for example-and
the music the young child hears are.
together with his other activities and
experiences, of the very substance of
his life.
When We undertake to cultivate the
arts for our children outside Of school
the most Important consideration In
the selection Of instructors is COM
monty considered to be the artistic
achievement or the standing In their
e,sfu. But more important for our

purpose is the teachers character. his
attitude toward children. We may In
deed find n talented artist who is also
satisfactory teacher; but the combi-
nation is extremely rare. The ac-
complished artist is likely to see in
the pupil potential performer or Gre
ator, and to have little patience when
the symptoms Of talent are slow to
manifest themselves. When talent Is
discovered it will be time enough to
train for specialization.
Whether we provide special instruc-
ton for children or not. we can at
least put forth an effort to make the
surroundings In the home contribute as
much as possible to The cultivation of
taste. This requires an effort, but is
worth what II costs. Unless We have
well-deyeloped tastes and standards

upon by the fashions" and by the
tendency 10 initiate, often unconscious

gard. II we devote some thought to

does not mean that we must buy only
the expensive or the fashionable. Ii
means taking the trouble 10 find out
what Is best. II is possible TO get
cheap reproductions Of the best pie
lures. just as we can get cheap edi-
tions of the worlds best books. In the
matter Of pictures, It is well to have

and to change them at intervals. For

CRAB WAS FIRST VEGETARIAN
Eccentric Englishman Met With Much
Opposition When He Started to
Spread His Ideas.

The first preacher OF vegetarianlsm

an eccentric Engllshman, who died 236
years ago. He fought In the parlia-
army under Cromwell, and re-
ceived wound In the head, which may
have accounted for some of his later
vagaries. After the close OF the Civil
war he sold all his goods and distrib-
uted the proceeds among the poor, then
took up his residence In a hut near
Ickpnham, where he wGs said To have
lived on three farthlngs a week. Hav-
ing decided that II was sinful TO eat
any kind Of animal food. he suhslsted
on diet Of bran. dock leaves, mallows
and grass.
For dessert he had a pudding made
OF bran and turnip tops chopped to-
gether. When he attempted to spread
his ideas he met with much popular
opposition. He then denounced his op-
ponents in most lurid terms, and was
on various occasions cudgeled and put
in the stocks. Four times he was ar
rested on suspicion of being wizard,
and was sent from prison to prison.
He persisted in his course in spite of
all persecution. refusing to eat any
animal food while In Jail. He wrote
two pamphlets. entitled ''The English
Hermit. or The Wonder of the Age
and 'Dagon's Downfall. or The Great
Idol Digged Up Root and Branch; "The

frame. Let us remember that the
younger children are likely to see very
little in black-and-white picture un-
til after colored pictures have made
them familiar with seeing the world
in fiat surface.
We must do what We can TO expand
the child's horizon by visits to the
museums, by providing opportunities
to see and hear the best that the hui
man spirit has brought forth. But We
must not overlook the fact that the
most continuous aud the most impress
siYe molders of his tastes lie in the

HashfuI West Virginia Youth Speaks
Proposal Into Photograph and
Sends Record to Sweetheart.

1t ia too bad to have to climb up and
remove the laurel wreath from the
beetled brow of Miles Standish. His
has always been name to thrill the
youth of the seventh grade and the in
roads he made upon the Indian popu-
lation of New England entitle him to
q high place In the han of fame.
That little piece of loye-makfng
which he carried on with Priscilla,
with John Alden as his proxy, has
long appealed to the hosts who look
upon bashfulness as one of the attri-
butes of brave warrior.
OF course, Napoleon, Alexander and
Antony weren't particularly backward
about their wooings and Richard III
was rather parlor favorite in his
way; but soldiers, that is. good Ameri-
can colonial soldiers, have usually
been bashful.
Washington was; he says SO him
self. And SO was Standish. Both lost
girls because they were too slow. But"
when 1t comes to downright dyed-in-
the-wool bashfulness we must all
stand back and let the ushers lead Al
fred B. Manning Of Parkersburg, W.
Va, down to the front seat, says the
Pittsburgh Gazette-Times. Gentle
men, bring forward the cruise of oil
and anoint Mr.. Manning. Hand him

Amid all these wars and rumors of
wars comes from Parkersburg story
which alleges that Mr.. Manning, un-
able to nerve himself to the point of
asking young woman to be his wife.
spoke his little piece into phono-
graph and sent her the record.
By and by he received another rec
ord. Putting 1t on his machine and
cranking up, he released the mechan-
ism and, while great beads Of perspira-
tion stood upon his brow, he heard
the little oak doors emit the single
word "Yes."
To the captious, Mr.. Mannings
methods might be considered as
smacking too much of Indian customs.
1t will be recalled that the aborigines.
meaning to declare war. would send
their enemy snakeskin filed with
bullets.
But these critics are too harsh; pro-
posing by phonograph is businesslike,
to the point and sanitary. 1t may
lack some Of the sentiment, but 1t ac-
compiishes the purpose. It fetches
home the matrimonial bacon. We sim
