TRAINING TODAY'S
BOYS AND GIRLS
Fair Play Among Brothers and
Sisters a Necessity.
HbSTY JUDGMENTS ARE RISKY
Innocent Child Too Often Is Held Re-
sponsible for the Frictions That
Arise-Tasks Must Not
Be Evaded.
BY sIDoNIE M. GUTENBERG.

FATHER was glancing at the papers
i while waiting for his son to join
him for their Sunday morning walk.
Presently he noticed that he had read
more of the paper than he had ex-
pected to- and looked at his watch.
The delay was unusually long, and
he called to William. Williams voice
came back sobbing: 'They won't
dress mer'
Father did not like that. He went
right up to the children's quarters to
see what it all meant. The oldest sis
ter spoke up. She thought that Will
liam, aged seven, was quite old enough
to dress himself, and he wouldn't even
try. The silence and the expressions
on the faces of the other sisters sug-
gested conspiracy. This would new
er do. Father pronounced final judg-
ment. "A boy who has three older
sisters ought to be able to get help
when he has to be dressed, and not
be neglected." William had to be
dressed at once, and the girls would
see to it that the task was accom-
p!ished with neatness and dispatch.
To have the opportunity to look
after younger brothers or sisters is no
doubt of great value to any girl. And
to be obliged to dress William through
all those years must have been an ed
ucation for the girls. But it is GER
tain that whatever they gained was
more than cOunterbalanced by the
boys loss. And it is also certain that
the experience and "discipline" that
the girls gained were cOunterbalanced
by the resentment and sense of injus-
tice which they developed as William
became old enough-at least in their
judgment-to relieve them of their re-
sponsibility.
William was no less a victim of cir
cumstances than his sisters. 1t was
his fate to be the youngest-and the
only boy. It is bad enough to be the
youngest, and it is bad enough to be
the only boy-or the only girl. But
the combination of the two handicaps
is in many households quite insur-
mountable.
But every child Is unique, if not in
one way then in another. And so ev-
cry child is likely to derive advan-
tages from his peculiarities as well as
to be handicapped by them. The older
of two brothers was of the "accommo-
dating kind. A neighbOr said to
Charles that he ALWAYS gave in be-

WHY is TABLECLOTH SACRED?
IT'S Natural Function Is to Get Dirty,
put Wee to the Man Who Gets
Spot on 1t.

Why" demanded the Occasional
orumbler, in the tone of one who not
oniy did not expect, but would not
Tolerate, an answer, SHOULD a clean
tablecloth be the most sacred thing
ABOUT a fairly average family house
mold! A clean tablecloth is not Iares
or penates, either or both. It's lust a
rag that has managed to get through
the laundry in good shape. 1t can go
through again in just as good shape
or just about as good; and, for that
matter, If the worst came to the worst
las your wife generally expects it tc)
lr could be replaced without disturbing
the quotation on international ex-
change.
But a woman never thinks about
That. To her clean tablecloth is a
thing to be worshiped, not a thing to
De eaten off of, and it never occurs
TO her that no magic can bless it with
semipaternal cleanliness. It's got to
get dirty sOmetime-why not now?
Nothing to it! If you overflow the
gravy from the meat platter, which
through no fault of yours-has been
filled too full, or if you happen to dec
crate the immaculate splendor of the
cloth with nice red polka dot of cram
berry juice, you're in bad for the rest
of the day, and maybe longer.
"Of course, when such things hap
pen, the tablecloth is only serving the
purpose for which it is put there, but
that's no excuse. You ought to be
more carefulr This comes across the
table in no uncertain tones. But it
isn't in the nature of news, because
you've heard it plenty often before.
81 say it is the business of a clean
tablecloth to get dirty and get washed,
and get dirty and get washed, and get

doesn't make any difference. / get in
so bad every time new tableclOth is
sprung at our house that in my love for
the comfort of dirty ones am becom-
ing slovenly in my habits. SO what I
say is this: Either you ought to be
affluent enough to have a clean table
cloth every meal, or two or three times
a meal If necessary or desirable, or
you ought to be humble enough to be
content to eat off OF an OilclOth-cov-

FOREST DESTROYED BY FIRE
Reduced to Ashes-Played Large
Part in History.

The wonderful forest of Tato, the
pride of the late King George of
Greece, was destroyed when fire re-
duced to ashes the summer residence
of his son, King Constantine. The
tens of thousands of dollars spent In
cultivating a fiourishing pine wood, as
an example of what might be done
with forestry in barren Attica, have
been burned up as completely as if the
banknotes themselves had been thrown
In the fire.
Tatoi played large part in the his
tory of Greece. Here the Spartans
established themselves in Alb B. g. to
cut off the supply of grain and food
stuffs bound into Athens from Eubea,
with the purpose of starving out the
Athenian population. And in 404 B. C.,
while Lysander blockaded Athens and
the Piraeus by sea, the Spartans de-
scended from the vicinity of Tatoi, at
tackled and forced the capitulation of
Athens, ending the Peloponnesian war.
The burnt forest, laboriOusly planted
and protected, was considered to be q
memorial to the past greatness Of
Greece.

dren were at the edge Of the wafer.
She could also see the blade of an oar
raised menacingly in the air. OF
course, Helen was up to some mischief
and was abusing Edward. She started
for the shore in the interests of peace
and justice. But when she came near
enough she saw that the quiet and
unobtrusive Edward was the real ag
gressor. He held out his foot to indi-
cate where Helen was to land her
boat, and as the boat did not strike
exactly in the indicated spot he would
shove it out again. This he repeated
several times, until Helen was exas-
perated beyond self-control. The
mother admitted later that had she
not seen the performance herself she
would have considered Helen respon-
sible for the friction, without regard
for the girls pleas in extenuation.
In the distribution of tasks and re-
Sponsibilities of a household among
the children there will necessarily be
inequalities in age and strength and
also on account of interests. Some
children are more obliging than others.
and at one stage the child is more
eager to 60 en- errands than he will be
later. 1t is perfectly legitimate to
allow such inequalities. But we must
not let the less-obliging child take ad-
vantage of the more helpful brother or

Fifty-Fifty.

In the big preparedness parade
which took place il New York in May,
and which set the example for other
preparedness parades all over the
country, Digby Bell, the comedian, led
company made up largely of actors,
theatrical managers and playwrights
from the Lambs and the Players clubs.
The marchers moved in wide lines
20 abreast, extending from curb to
curb of Fifth avenue. All went well
with Capt. Digby Bells squad until
they reached Forty-Second street,
where an isle of safety for pedestrians
stands in the middle of the asphalt
roadway.
He knew there must be a military
command for dividing a column so as
to pass about a fixed obstacle, but he
didn't know what it was. For just a
moment confusion threatened his
group. Then in this emergency an in
Spiration came to the leader.
He swung about and faced the on
coming formation. "Fifty-ffty he
blared at the top of his voice. And,

In Quebec the chief crop is hay. The
area devoted to its cultivation in 1915
was estimated to be about 100000
acres, and much of it was exported at
high prices. About ], 100000 acres were
sown to oats, and the crop was an ex-
cellent one, both as TO quantity and
quality. high prices being realized for
the estimated yield of about 44,OOO,Ooo

raised in Quebec. but the area of
about $1,000 acres produced in the
neighborhood of $4,000 bushels and
brought good pl 'es. The wheat grown
in the province IS al of the spring
wheat variety. The total crop fn 1915
was estimated at 1.44T,000 bushels, an
increase of nearly 100000 bushels over

How He Saved the Situation.

1t is with tremendous seriousness of
mind that the rookie officers do things.
They were preparing to leave for the
Mexican border, and as the rookie
corporal marched his men up to the
truck he felt baffled. He could recall
no order in the Infantry Drill Regu-
lations for getting eight men aboard
a big gray truck in a military way.
They were already in squad forma-
ton, so he cogitated that he couldn't
very well order them to Fall in," as
they were already all in; then on Sec
ond thought he imagined that Fall i'm
was just the word, if he only marched
them up to the truck and said it then.
There would be nothing for them to
do but fall into the truck. AS they
reached the truck came the order from
the rookie corporal, Fall I'M" Being,
as they thought, already completely
fallen in, the men were nonplusSed as
to how to fall in any further. 1t didn't
occur to them to tumble into the truck,
and being up against the wheels and
thinking the corporal really meant
"Halt!" they all came to standstill.
The rookie "noncom" scratched his
head and thought. Then he said: "Oh,
hell! All aboardw

fore and after" BY this she meant
that he always did what he could to
avoid friction in advance; but that
when any alteration arose he was
then ready to make further conces-
sions and yield. He would not let his
preferences stand in the way of peace.
This was so marked that whenever
trouble did arise it was quite natural
for Henry to receive the blame. But
later it became possible for Charles,
in his quiet way, to make trouble in
the certainty that Henry would be
blamed.
1t is quite proper for us to recognize
the fact that the children are not
alike and to take the differences into
consideration in our judgments and in
our other treatment of them. But
we must not let our classification of
children stand in the way of substan-
tial justice. 1t is quite probable that
Henry was the trouble maker nine
times out of ten, and an understanding
of Charles disposition was very help
full to the parents. But each case, as
it arises, should be considered on its
merits and not on the earlier general
ization that Henry is usually at fault.
The actions of parents, like all
movements in the world, are along the
line of least resistance. And the gen.
civilizations we make about our chill
dren furnish channels that are often
helpful, but occasionally dangerous.
So it happened that Helen, whom ev-
eryone knew TO be noisy and aggres-
sive, often suffered for her nervous rep
utation. One day her mother heard her
voice berating Edward, while the chill

selves by leaving too much to George.
The education of the child in ideals
of equity must come il large meas
ure from the give-and-take of his rela-
tons with other children, whether in
the home or outside. But this must
be supplemented with the pervasive
influence of sympathetic, yet detached,
judgment of older persons.

Saws EnuIand Needs Repentance,

as a nation needed both repentance
and hope. "Those of us behind the
scenes in the moral lie of the nation, y
he added, "know that in many ways
things are as bad as ever they can
be, and there are some things so bad
that they cannot be alluded to with
propriety from this pulpit"
In plea for a strong public opinion
against evil, Canon Newbolt pointed
out that if there were no demand
there would be no supply. If youth
would set its face against immodest
post cards and other evils, the supply
would cease. Much could be done by
few resolute men in purifying the
atmosphere. "'Let u.s." he urged, make
