THE TRAINING OF
LITTLE CHILDREN
Let Us Not Cripple Our Children's Self
dependence And Initia-
ffva

TBy MRS. ALICE BARTON HARRIS.]
| sometimes wonder what the city
child is able to show in the way OF
self-dependence and initiative when
the inevitable day arrives that he must
stand on his own feet 1t seems to me
that he is never left alone. In we'll
to-do families he usually passes from
the teachers hands directly into the
hands of his governess or tutor, who
instantly assumes the responsibility
for his safety and well-being. He
works and plays under supervision,
and has no opportunity to develop in
itiative or a sense of responsibility. In
the name of education we are Gripping
what we should cultivate. The best
way to develop initiative is to let the
child alone for at least a part of each
day. / think it shows an almost in
sulting lack of faith in his intelligence,
this constant attendance on him. Even
If he does make few blunders, he will
be developing himself that way.
My husband and l were brought up
in all the freedom of large spaces, and
after few years of New York apart
ment life, with summers in boarding
houses. we realized that our boys were
going to lose out on most of the joys
of childhood unless something was
done about it, So we bought for al
most nothing 100 acre valley, 1000
feet up in the Catskills, and 500 feet
above the nearest village real will

servant would dream of setting foot.
There was a rough little cabin in it,
which was quite adequate for sum-
mer home. Our object was to have a
place where the children could stretch
their bodies and souls, and incidental
ly where the parents could also
where light and heat and water did not
come by means of taps and buttons.
We had to do all the work ourselves
and the boys. then 5 and 6, were ex-
pected from the beginning to do their
share. They fetched the milk from the
nearest farm, half mile distant, rea-
lizing fully that if they did not get it
there would not be any milk, crisis
which could not exist in town. We
have most of our dinners outside over
camp fire, which. of course. the boys
soon learned to make. They often
serve us doubtful meals. over which
they labor joyfully for hours befoF :
hand. They have absolute freedom to
wander over the mountains with only
their dogs for protection. There are
hours and hours when | have NO idea
where they are, and they come home
with the most wonderful adventures
to recount For four months out of
every year they live the life of the
pioneer boy.
think every city child should have
some such summer experience if pos
sible, where responsibilities can be
given him which he may assume or
not. but where he must take the con-
sequences. The child brought up un-
der artificial conditions necessarily
prevailing in city life, or in the sum-
mer hotel. has no point of contact with

WIRE ID MOBILIZE NURSES IN STATE
 FUR CALL AT ONCE

Orders have been received in Phoe- nix from Washington to mobilize nurses at once for immediate call on. account of the Spanish influenza epi- demic now menacing the health of per sons in the state and the nation.
 Mrs. Win Wylie announced yesterday that any member of the home nursing classes who has received a certificate and who wishes to act in this ener- gency to report to her. She further announced that salary and expenses are guaranteed. This applies to nurses both graduate and practical.
 The local Red Cross yesterday issued the following:
 The American Red Cross appeals to the women of this country. both mar ried and single. to avail themselves of the opportunity offered through its classes to acquire a sufficient knowl- edge of nursing to care for their own loved ones through illness of all kinds at home.
 With Spanish influenza rapidly in vading our state and many cases re- ported in Phoenix, there must be some one to care for those at home, since many or the loCdl nurses are iedNlnS almost daily for camp service.
 Our first class in home nursing is not yet filled. Why not try and take this course of fifteen lectures with practical demonstrations in all treat ments given by a Red Cross nurse? Then if one of your household should be stricken you will feel that you are capable of doing all within your power to handle the emergency in a trained, intelligent way.
 Five dollars covers the cost of text book, lectures and certificate. Fill out your blanks now and be prepared to do your share toward the care of those in your own home.
 Blanks will be found at the Red Cross office at the Central school building"

SUSPICIOUS FIRES DESTROY HAYSTACKS
 AND BEE PROPERTY

A group of haystacks at the Indian School took fire from undetermined causes at S:20 last night and two of them were destroyed. The fire start ed in stack of loose alfalfa and spread to a stack of baled alfalfa near by, and it took the well drilled school fire department two hours to get the blaze under control.
 A third stack, also baled alfalfa, was wet down and did not ignite.
 A fire, believed to be incendiary, was discovered yesterday in the api- ary of G. Herman near Chandler, and for time threatened the whole prop erty, valued at s1O0O0. MT. Herman was away, but neighbors discovered the fire and extinguished it after three stands had been destroyed. An officer from Chandler discovered tracks leading from the apiary and followed them in the hope of appre- hending a possible incendiary.
 The sheriff's office is making an investigation of the suspicious fires that have occurred recently, notably the fire at the Indian school last night and the fire at Chandler in the Her man apiary. Several haystacks have recently been destroyed on the south side in an unexplained manner.

 FOR.PH0EN|X NOW READY ID EXHIBIT

H. McClung, chairman for this dis trict of the fourth Liberty loan, has re- ceived a schedule of Liberty loan films to be shown in Phoenix during the cam paign now on. The text of the letter follows:
 We have booked the Liberty Loan Propaganda Films throughout the en- tire state of Arizona, in nearly every theatre.
 There was some delay in getting these Liberty loan films to the exhibi- tors, owing to the fact that they were not sent out from Washington in time for us to properly fill all dates, but we are pleased to state that they are now coming in from Washington at the rate of several every day and we think that from now on all the leading theatres in Phoenix will have at least one propa- ganda film every day.
 The following is the way we have the different theatres in Phoenix lined up with these films:
 Enid Bennett, Columbia, Oct 7 Geo. M. Conan, Lamara. Oct. 8. Mary Pickford, Columbia, Oct. g. Geo. NJ. Conan, Plaza, Oct. 9.
 Goldwyn All Star, Lamara, Oct. 9. Wallace Reid, Lamara, Oct. 10.
 Geraldine Farrar Columbia, Oct. II Dustin Farnum, Lamara, Oct 12. Marguerite Clark, Columbia, Oct. 13
 The voices are also of unusual eX- cellence. Miss Anabella Marlow prima" donna, has an exceptionally wide range with a clear understand ing of expression. The Harmony boys are also there with the goods" Miss Marie McCourt has won hundreds of friends in this city by her numerous song hits and clever dancing. The chorus girls are pretty, capable sing CTS. and good dancers. Through a special arrangement, two new performers will make their ap- pearance with the Follies for the first time tonight. They are Devore and Worth, popular comedians of Los An geles and other coast points. Phoeni- clans who visited the coast this sum mer undoubtedly have happy remem- brances of the work of this team. Both Devore and Worth will remain as d part of the regular Folly cast. The screen offering for today is Miss Olive Tell in The Girl and the Judge pretty human interest story, and a | Columbia Screen Telegram. showing official war pictures from lover there There will be a screen program this afternoon exclusively. The same prices will prevail as before the arri- val of the Follies, fifteen cents and war tax.

ARMY COMMISSION
 CHANCE |S GOOD

According to information received in Phoenix yesterday there is a good chance for man of draft age to get a commission in the army and insofar as Phoenix and the Salt River valley is concerned, this chance is going begging
 Capt. Leroy Davis. of the First Cav airy, stationed at Douglas, is receiving applications from civilians to enter Of ficers' training camps for the cavalry, artillery, machine gun companies, and infantry
 "The chances for eligible civilians to qualify for these training courses are unusually good" said Capt Davis at Douglas Saturday. There is no telling when orders will be received to close this class of recruiting, and so I would suggest that all men who have any chance at all of qualifying to lose no time in getting in touch with me-"
 Civilians to be eligible must be be- tween the ages of IS and 46 years on September 12, 1918, and not be granted deferred classification on grounds of industrial occupation. They must be or good moral character, be grammar school graduates or have equivalent education, and possess physical qual- ifications required for commission in the officers reserve corps.
 The training period is for at least three months with pay at $30 oeI month.
 If any man in Phoenix is registered for military service and there is even a remote possibility for him to he drafted, his cue is to rush wire to Captain Davis. address 1st Cavalry Douglas, Ariz., and ask him to send ap- plicatiOn forms and any such other in . formation as may be necessary. Better still grab the first train to Douglas and have an interview with Capt. Da . wis. Incidentally, you will find Capt Davis gentleman, a soldier, and very easy to talk to. He will even go out ot his way to put you on the right track.
