Life Bright for "Kiddies"
Whose Parents Follow the
Advice Of Luther Burbank

Luther Burbank, the famous won
der worker among flowers, fruits and
vegetables, has not forgotten to study
the rearing of children as well. Ac-
cOrding to his advice the child's edu-
cation should be largely of his own
working out in happy world of
mud-pies, grasshoppers. tadpoles. and
frogs. There should be trees to climb,
brooks to wade in, various animals to
pet, and all kinds of little creatures
to study. "Any child who has been de-
prived of these has been deprived of
the best part Of his education" says
Mr.. Burbank.
Many mothers agree with this idea,
and would discourage any actual book
work for very young children beyond
perhaps reading and writing. Little
girls should be sent off to skip and
dance and COOK instead of to do sums
and dictatiOn. The oculists tell us
that no child should read type in which
the capitals are under quarter of an
inch high and that he should use his
eyes If possible on large things and
out in the open. Eye-strain and eff
fort Of attention are source of the
nerve disorders too common in chill.

The Dream Ship
BY Il. STANLEY HAsKINs.

Sleep is the gangplank for me, it
seems,
From the everyday world to my ship
Of dreams,
And faith as cross It I leave my mind
Safe with its thoughts, on the wharf
behind.
Pixie and goblin and fairy and elf,
All are aboard for voyage, like my.
self,
And each has for baggage, the Journey
to start,
A happy go lucky, 60 plucky gay heart.
IT'S often we sail by the light Of q
moon
That hangs in the sky like paper bal.
loon,
Yet sometimes the harbor is dappled
and bright,
And never we leave it for all of the
night.
The ship has no crew and no helmsman
to steer,
No compass to guide from the Where
to the Here,
But always, at morning, our journey is
DER.
And it's over the gangplank of sleep to
the shore.
