Developing the Child's Deeper Nature

In these days. when so much is writ

done 20 meet the physical and mental
needs of our children both in the home
ard at school, there is a tendency to
forget tac teochings Of FrocDel and to
give our children only a partial educa-
ton, an education which stops short of
their spiritual needs.
They Do What They Sec
momentous question, and one
which all parents must answer indi-
vidually. is "Do VIC want our children
to be rcrsly healthy little animals,
with certain amount of superficial
learning. or do VIC wish to develop
their deeper natures so that one day
they may be able to take their place in
the world and through their spiritual
insight into things become powers for
good in the community"
For parents cannot turn over their
own responsibilities to the teachers and
expect them to lay the foundations of
character. The home is the place
where this must be done, and it is for
US to prove to our children that it is
only es we are good ourselves that we
help those around u.s.

British Expect Arabs
To Increase War Aid
Tribal Discussions That
Weakened New Kingdom
Appear To Be Overcome
ASSOCIATED rrcss Corrcspondcncel

LONDON, Jan. 12 - Arab activity
against the Turks in the Palestine the
atrc OF war is expected here to show
considerable results during the next
few months. An official report Oh the
Arab exploits against the Turks during
the first SIX weeks Of General Allenhy's
offensive III Palestine shows that the
tribesmen confined themselves princi-
pally to raids on the Hcdjaz railway.
This railway-at least in the part
attacled-is not a line of communica-
ton with Palestine, but with Arabia.
That the Arabs have shown a DISPOSE
ton TO cut what is in some sense Il
sacred railway is interesting, but that
they we're not able to venture on more
than sporadic forays seemed to indi-
cate that their strength was not great
Meanwhile the Turks were able to keep
Medina without apparent difficulty, in
spite Of the efforts of the King Of the
IIedjaz.
The explanation for this Arab weak
ness is apparently partly their ancient
tribal qusrrels and partly the uncer-
tainty of the military situation, which
has now been made secure by the Brit
ish occunation of Jerusalem.
An ctfcrt was made last March to
bring about an Arab offensive on a
large scale, timed to coincide with
British operations, but the effort failed
owing to the detection OF one of the
leading chiefs, the head of the Scham-
mar tribe. The support of this tribe
enabled the Turks to maintain them
selves at Medina and keep the Hediaz
line open. But the pro-Turkish Scham-
mar chief was killed few weeks ago
and the tribe appears to be now on the
point of reJolnlng the King of the
Hedjaz.
The further the Turks are driven
back by the British under General
Allenby the more the Arab tribes arc
expected to rally to the victor. Once
the Hedjaz railway is permanently cut,
it is declared, all Arabia will be lost to
the Turks.
The German peace offer at Brest-
Iitovsk is taken by students OF Eastern
affairs to indicate Germany's recogni-
ton Of the Importance of the British
threat in the East In fact. it has been
frequently stated that the military

Climate for Fur
Bearing Animals

1t seems to me that common sense
should tell us that such state OF
weather was intended only for fur,
bearing animals. All Of the lower
creatures, supposedly Of inferior in
telligcnce, recognize their physical
needs and seek climate betting their
individual covering, but not so the
commonly reputed intelligent humans
Naked and tender, they foolishly flock
to wntry climes where they have to
animals Of their skins, and where they
have to build intricate dwellings, which
even then do not adequately protect
these unreas oning bipeds from the
blasts which they were never fashioned
to endure. If we were living in a
proper climate we would not be trou-
bling about coal; VIC would be sleeping
under a palm tree in the rays of the
tropic sun. Our stupidity is quite
amazing.
Look at the people you see on the
streets of New York these monstrously
cruel zero days. They shudder and
screw themselves into wind blown semi
circles, and snlffle and scud along on
the wings Of the Worcester, and actu-
ally don't even know that they never
should have come to such place. They
haven't acumen enough to realize that
any other animal on the whole planet,
made with such delicate skin, would
recognize the fact and not construct a
winters lair in such climate.

sympathetic companion thank your
lucky stars that you do rot possess
