We have too often treated the ex-
banding forcesof growing children as
we treat the expanding force of ket-
tie of steam. The latter may be made
to work properly only as it is confined
to fixed channels-and when the lid
comes off, all escapes. The child, on
the contrary, is an organism quite as
capable of becoming a self-directing
and purposeful personality as Is the
parent or policeman who undertakes
to discipline" it. And this 1t becomes
not through restraint and suppress
sion, but through guidance and spon-
taneity.
The child must have an abundance
of spontaneous action, because only
thus can he try out his various pos
sibilities in relation to things and peo
pie. Only thus can he get the oppor
tunity to select and evaluate the activ
tiles that are worth while, to rejec

Shakespeare as a Poacher.

Shakespeare had chased this hare in

hawking and hunting the deer. The
story goes that he was poacher. This

SAVING Sense of Humor.

At its best estate the human mind is
delicately poised. In this respect 1T
does not differ from any other highly
complex machine. And for this reason
a comparatively light shock may disar-
range it and reduce its effectiveness.
Any human trait, therefore, that serves
to guard the mind from jolt and jar
is q saving trait. OF such traits is the
saving sense of humor.
This trait may be racial or national,
for we see it more highly developed in
America and Great Britain than in
Prussia and Turkey. But it appears
to be nourished by good physical con-
dition, says writer in the Minneapo-
lis Journal. A people stricken with
world-weariness like that of India can
not perceive the hidden smile In
things, as can hopeful people such
as we. But even in n well-nourishec
land like America the man with the
saving sense of humor is none too com
mon.
