pF5YSTCAT CARE OF THE NORMAL BABY
thM T hRf

for convenience of discussion that the physical
regimen is separated from the rest Of his care.
The regimen here outlined is for normal. well
babies, for their first year or two. Delicate,
feeble or sckly infants must receive special care
under the physicians directions in their feeding
bathing. clothing and outdoor living
In the efficient care of little baby there arc
only few fundamental principles but these are
TO be practiscd with conscientious thoroughness
by every one who has anything to do with the
baby It is the little details in the routine of his
daily life that produce vigor or weakness. Errors
in his care now may cost his life; they may
not apparently harm him now. but will be paid for
in suffering. deformites weakness in childhood
or adulthood. The woman who has this response
bility needs special preparation in self-sscrifce'
self-control, genteness, regularity, thoroushness
and accuracy in little details.
The fundamental principles are:
/. Regularity, which applies particularly to
times Of feeding, sleep, stools.
.. Cleanliness of baby, food, clothing, utensils,

Tom knows that he will stay up later when he
is as old as Sister Maggie; and Maggie knows that
she will have all her meals with the grown-ups
when she is as old as Brother Andrew. And, by
the same token, Andrew may properly look for
ward to drinking coffee, smoking big black
cigars, or wearing a silk hat-if these things
should happen to appeal to his fancy.
There should be no difficulty in getting the
children in household to accept the differences
that exist as a matter of course 1t is quite
proper TO say to a child that he is too young TO
have a latch key to go to the theatre. There
need be nothing invdous in prohibition; it is
not wrong or wicked to go 10 the theatre or to
stay up late in the evening-it is merely insult
able for young children. II we have no doubts
in our own minds, we shall have TO make no
apologies or secrets of our conduct before our
children.
Nevertheless It is worth while to guard against
the many apses and the many little careless slips
in our language and manners. In language es-
pecially is il almost impossible to establish
differentiated form of speech for adults and chill
dren, nor is it desirable TO do If we do not
wish the children TO slang our own avoid
snce will hardly guarantee their immunity. On
the other hand, our own indulgence will do much
to strengthen the habit in the children.
The absurdity of the rule must be obvious when
we consider what It implies with regard to the
reading. conversation or recrestions of the vsri-
ou. members of the family. There are many
books in the house that are not suited for chill
dren's reading. If you label them Taboo" you
will make them unnecessarily attractive; if you

PARENTS AS MODELS
By SidOnie Mafzner Gutenberg.

TNO EVERY parent TO every teacher, there
n comes some day the appalling realization
Of this truth: Telling is not teaching.
We discover through much trial and suffering
that children will persist in doings and evasions
quite regardless Of what we tell them. Then we
resolutely determine that, telling or no telling,
we are to set before the children models worthy
Of emuation-the we shall have to bear
proaches, come what may. SO come to that
stage in the evolution of adults characterized by
the resolve 10 avoid slang and coffee and nail
biting because we do not want the children to do
the improper things.
The counsel growing out Of these thoughts is
easily put in the form of recipe, but it is a
negative "Do nothing that you would not
have your children initiate" This has all the
outward appearance of a sound doctrine, and
many people make sincere effort to guide their
lives in harmony with its implications. II is
doubtful however. whether any parents can con-
sistently limit their own lives by this formula;
and it is quite certain that it would not be worth
while if it possible.
II is true that children initiate But would you
conceal from them the fact that you awake
and about hours after they have retired, in the
fear that they would wish to stay up later? They
often wish to stay up later than the appointed
hour; is there no way TO make them go to bed ex
cept by going to bed with them?
1t is true that children initiate. But their im-
tativeness should not make US confne diet to
the foodstufs appropriate to infants. The very
fact that take pains TO select one kind Of food
for ourselves and another kind for the child
should challenge US to question whether we are
merely following fashion, or really doing the
best we know how. If it is true that one kind
Of diet is better adapted to children and another
TO the needs of adults, should certainly want
the children to learn this; and the way to learn
is through the experience that the diet does vary
with age. Indeed, this is one of the most val
liable ideas that the child get from his en-
vironment of people of different ages-namely,
that people grow into ever-changing proprieties.

exclude them from the house entirely, you de-
prive the adults unnecessarily. II the children
for children. There is already too strong ten
dency for adults 10 assume that their own tastes
and manners and their whole conduct OF life
should serve as normal standards for others
whether children or other adults. We too often
think Of education as consisting of the gradual
change from the ways of childhood to wsys.
What we need 10 recognize, and what We should
permit our children to learn, is that there IS no
ultimate standard Of propriety; that At each
stage there is fulness of life, and that each
stage is to be outgrown. We should not expses
children to copy too closely tho lives Of adults
nor should we expect adults TO restrict their own
lives TO the dimensions Of "models" suitable for
children to copy.
Yet there is much that the child gets from Ma
parents through imitation, much that Is Of the

reading TO what is suitable for the children. IN
the same way, II would be not only a priVsHon
but an absurdity for the adults to limit their
amusements TO the marbles, rompings, dolls snd
te. parties Of children. This IS obvious that
it is completely ignored by those who set out to
be models for their children.
Perhaps the most important consideration IN
the whole problem is the question whether VIC

Watson c. Cole, an eight-year-old
boy of Washington. D. c., originated
this Button Family. He pasted on
piece of heavy paper three ordinary
bone buttons of different sizes, the
largest one for Father. the middle
one for Mother and the little one for
Baby. Each of these buttons forms
the head. SO he mixed the hair and
mouth and eyes (the eyes are really
two big holes in the buttons), and
then drew the rest of the body.
Little Watson has lots of fun with
his Button Family.

had been dumped on the island.

hope the island isn't large, for I don't fancy
walking many miles in this hot climate
Mr. Jonah and the Captain went ahead, and
the three boys followed After travelling for
some time they came TO the top of small hill,
from which they viewed the surrounding country
and saw the animals scattered here and there,
evidently enjoying themselves to the fullest ex-

The latter unfurled big, red banner and waved
il frantieally in the air Presently all the ami
mails fell into line, the elephants leading. Captain
Noah and his crew waited until they drew near.
Then they turned and set out for the camp. Mrs
Noah had everything ready when they arrived
and it took but a few minutes TO carry the tent
and the camping outfit down TO the Ark
As soon as the gang-plank was lowered the
animals filed on board. Great their delight

tain Noah set the Ark in motion. 1t was but

automobile wheels did their work nobly. As soon
as II reached the edge Of the beach the Ark
giided upon the water and out to sea.
"All's we'll that ends we'll" said Captain Noah,
turning TO Mr Jonah; "you see, we are once more
aAoat with all on board. safe and sound Even
you. who are generally considered a most unde-
sirable passenger have had no bad effects on the
trip so far"
Mr. Jonah looked quite unhappy. "Why should
be considered an undesirable passenger" he
asked. 81 think 7 am mascot on board this

regularity, noting developments or unusual
