TRAINING TODAYS
BOYS AND GIRLS
Social Responsibility of the Home
Is Important.
MUST FOLLOW GOLDEN RULE
Ne Cannot Let Our Pet Rules Con-
corning Our Own Children Inter-
fere With Other Parents Rules
Concerning Theirs.
BY slDoNIE M. GUTENBERG.

WE ARE all good people. We never
W intend to do anything that is
wrong" We never seek to take ad-
vantage of our neighbors in the slight
est way. We are therefore naturally
very resentful when the reformer com
pnres our conduct with that of people
who are not so good. of people who
do seek advantages, of people whose
purposes are not quite SO lofty us our
own.
We understand the social RESPONSE
bilities of the home, and we are doing
our very best to train our children up
to be good citizens. And all the time
we are careful to mind our own bust
ness very strictly. We hope we know
what's right, and do not need to be
told.
This represents fairly the attitude
who are making sincere and single
minded effort to give their children
every opportunity and every induce
nent to become "good citizens" And
1t was one of these very parents that
suddenly reminded me how complex
and how difficult the task Is.
You know how important 1t is for
the child to acquire correct habits
early In life; so we begin during the
third year to teach him to dress him
self. And so long us there is plenty
Of time in the morning, the child does
dress himself, more or less quickly,
more or less presentably. But when
you send the child off to school or to
kindergarten, you discover all at once
that you are obliged to choose between
giving the child great deal of help In
his morning toilet and letting him be
late for school. OF course we could
all get up earlier In the morning; but
that Is q nuisance, and a hardship on
the other members Of the household.
Or we could hurry through the break
fast; but that is bad for the health
as we'll as for the manners. So you
sacrifice all the advantages of couple
of years of patience and you help the
child on with his clothes. This may
even involve n compromise of your
principles !" but you are heroic, and
you are going to get him into habits
Of punctuality at any cost.
But Mrs. King stuck fast to her
principles, and would not sacrifice
anything. When Maude was at last
old enough to go to school, the mother
was confronted with the choice be-
tween doing for the child what she
thought the child should do for her
self and the danger of her frequently
being tardy. Mrs. King chose without
hesitation. And the following year
she was able to tell all who would
listen that Maude, obliged to dress
herself promptly and without assist
ance every day, under penalty OF such

w,,k,,o in Your Sleep.

Roughly speaking, the mind Is d.
yided into two parts. One controls
the actions Of which we are conscious
and the other those which we do un-
consciously. In the latter class are
such things as walking and breathing.
So that the second part of the mind
works equally as we'll whether Its
owner is asleep or awake. When the
body or the other part Of the mind is
tired to the point Of exhaustion. or is
harried by pain, the second part Ia
liable to be unduly active. Then 1t is
that we are, mcst likely to walk or talk
In our sleep and have 'nightnnares.'

Treacherous Golf,

On one occasion an old lady was in
the same railway car as party of
golfers.
II found fearful trouble this morn
ing" said one. "At the first fell right
into the middle of blackberry bush
and at the second I was stuck up on
the top Of a tree. I pitched out OF
bounds into the farmyard at the third,
got caught by the wire ut the fourth,
stuck fast in a deep hole at the fifth,
found myself buried in mud Mt the
sixth. I was lying in heap of rough
stones at the seventh, got lost at the
eighth and finished up at the bottom of
that dirty ditch at the last hole"
"Gracious mel" cried the horrited
old lady from the corner of the car,
"ard they told me golf was an old
mans game! I'll never let my Edwin
play again."

MARRIAGE a Good Thing.

At Salem, Ore, there is state peni-
tentiary, and the warden has been
looking into the status of the prison
ers, He finds there are more bachelors
in the penitentiary than married men.
Larceny is the most common crime,
and laborers are the most numerous
class among the prisoners.
Marriage Is good for man. as the
Almighty knew when he said: 1T is
not good for the man to be alone. Let
us make a helpmeet for him." Mar

Divinity In Man.

The most significant feature in the
history of an epoch is the manner II
has of welcoming a great man. Ever
to the true instincts Of men, there Is
something godlike in him. Whether
they shall take him to be god, to be
prophet, or what they shall take him
to be, that is ever grand question
by their way Of answering that we
shall see, as through little window
into the very heart Of these mems spir-
itual condition. For at bottom the
great man, MS he comes from the hand
of nature, is ever the same kind OF
thing: Odin, Luther, johnson, Burns
I hope to make it appear that these
are all originally Of one stuff; that
only by the worlds reception of them
and the shapes they assume, are they
so immeasurably diverse.-Carlyle.

we are becoming daily more con-
scious of our social obligations in this
larger sense, and even the children
are learning to understand it. A tot
OF eight years was sent home from
school with note until his "cold" had
disappeared. The mother thought the
ailment was too slight to be noticed,
ana proceeded to assure the teacher
that she was not at all alarmed. But
Henry knew better: "1he teacher
isn't afraid of me getting sick; she's
afraid I'll make the other children

possible infection than to guard Hen.
ry against the possible loss of few
days Of schooling. The quarantine or
Isolation is not for the sake Of the
sick, but for the sake of those who
are not yet sick. And the same prin-
clple applies to much Of what we are
today required to do in the adjustment
of the child between the home and the
school.
We shall have to give the young
child at home a little more care, a
little more thought, in order that

TO do what was necessary with SUIT
oble despatch. And now she isn't
late at all.
This was quite an achievement anu
Mrs, King made no effort to cohceai
her pride. But she did not tell us at
whose cost her daughter had learned
+o dress herself; nor did she develop
INV principle that might be of general
use to large numbers Of mothers.
Tn the first place, the frequent tar
diness of this child in school Is u
serious burden to the school. Inc
alternative, of helping the child at
home with reminders, or even WIN
direct assistance in the tedious process
of disposing of the clothes properly
about the body, is no doubt serious
burden upon the home. And there Is
no doubt that by placing the whoie
burden upon the child and the senoo,
the mother was able to show sooo
record for Improvement In Masue
bobits. But it Is worth while to con-
s,aer whether 1t Is fair to make the
school bear the burden that Mrs. King
imposed upon 1t.
In the second place, the device used
cannot be of general applicability, for
n ali mothers resorted to 1t the pune
tuolity of the school would break down
completely. The irregularity resulting
wouid make it impossible for the
school to establish and maintain any
standards. and the homes would DC

The interdependence imposed by
modern conditions makes 1t impossible
fG- us to "mind our own business" too
strictly, and makes the Golden Rule a
matter of course.
