NEW PHASES OF OLD PROBLEM
In Order to Get a Task Well Done II
10 Not Necessary to Make All
Drudgery for the Child
Appeal to His Interest.
BY sIDoNIE M. GUTENBERG.

A S HE was about to leave for q sum-
IA mer In the country his teacher in
formed eight-year-old Leonard that he
had been promoted, and told him that
he would not have to study during his
vacation. Leonard was happy and so
was his mother, for she did dread the
thought of having n child make up"
school work when he should be play
ing. But toward the end of the vaca-
letter-grandfather was to have a
birthday-and Leonard exhausted his
ingenuity and his mothers patience
finding excuses and delays. When he
did at last sit down to write the letter
the mother was both chagrined and
his seat, showing great discomfort.
He made many false motions, omitted
letters from common words Che was
an unusually good speller) and omit
ted strokes for many letters. The
mother was ashamed to send off the
boy would be denoted after returning
to school. She therefore resolved to
use the remaining days of the vaca-
ton for retrieving the lost art, and
planned daily exercise in writing.
There was resolution, so the plan
was carried out-but it was n torture
to both mother and child. This lasted
for several days, and the progress
made was far from encouraging. But
one afternoon Leonard and some of
his young friends were playing 'auc-
ton" on the porch, having witnessed
real auction of household effects
day or two earlier Leonard was the
clerk, and made a record of all the
sales, writing the names of the pur-
chasers, the articles and the prices.
When the mother saw the list she
found it hard to realize that it had
ben made by the same child that suf-
fered such agonies over his writing.
The work was neat, the names were
all spelled correctly, and there was no
sign of effort or discomfort.
This observation made the mother
suspect that this child could be led
faster than he could be driven, and
she looked about for ''motlvcS" to
make writing interesting. She got him
to write out items when she sent him
on an errand, she asked him to help

child's activity until he has acquired
u new skill, but that after the skill is
acquired we must supply new mo-
tive for applying it. Under the eds
cipline" system the corresponding dan
ger is that after the child has learned
to do sOmething-under compulsion-
he will evade the doing whenever the
pressure is relieved. Whichever sys-
TEN is followed, it is necessary at last
to find internal motives for conduct,
and this does not appear TO be more
difficult where the interest is made
to play its part
On the other hand, where the child's
interests bear their share of the bur-
den of training, we avoid certain
hardness or sourness and we strength
en- the bonds of sympathy between our
children and ourselves.

Safeguarding Watchman.

p After completing its factory an Ala
media firm hired nightwatchmun.
Soon, however, the manager formed his
own suspicious that he was doing more
sleeping than watching at night. So
he put in couple of time clocks, one
at each end of the building, to be
punched by the Waterman every half
hour. whats these here clocks forT"
demanded the Waterman when he
found them installed when he came to
work. "What sense is there In fussin'

No Obstruction Before Them.

Some San Francisco men on their
way to Eureka by auto came to fork
in the road and were uncertain which
to take. Finally they saw an old man
digging in a hillside a short distance
ahead. They drove up, and when OPP
posite him one called out, 'We want to
go to Eureka. Is this the right roadY
The old fellow signified that he was

as a megaphone, roared with all the

Diet, Exercise or Death

An eminent medical authority writes
that most Of our city folks die Of thick
ening Of the arteries OF of kidney dis
ease. The kidneys become clogged and
do not filter the posons from the blood,
and ono trouble follows another, high
blood pressure damages the heart, arteries
and kidneys. Usually its danger signals
are backache, pain here or there, swollen
feet or ankles. rheumatic twinges or
spots appearing before the eyes.
"The very best remedy is this: Eat
meat but once day, or not at all. Plenty
of outdoor exercise, and drink pure
water frequently. Before meals take q
little Anuric, the great uric acid neu-
trailer that is easily obtained at the
drug store. When you have dizziness,
chills or sweating, worry, or dragging
pains in back, try this wonderful enemy
TO uric acid, which DIR. Pierce Of Buffalo,
~. Y, discovered and named Anuric.
Anuric, more potent than hthia, dissolyes
uric acid as hot water does SUGAR."
