Washington, April 1S.-Military
men here are looking for important
developments following the arrival
of French reinforcements on the
Flanders battlefield. 1t is thought
that this movement Of troops might
be the forerunner of the vast

1t is assumed, that General Toch,

armies, is playing a game which will

Toward the close Of ! busy day, b.

Toward the close Of : busy day, b.
fore early tea and bedtime, there
comes the period properly known %
the "children's hour" when father or
mother tells or re1ds . story. All
parents are not gifted story-tsllers,
but most Of them may bscoms, With :
little effort, sufficiently adept to be
entirely satisfactory to ! lenient au-
dience. If the mother begins early
with very simple stories she can
easily learn to tel these and later,
with practice, master the more COM
|plex ones. A story told is much more
satisfactory to the average little child
than q story read.
AZ the child grows older there are
which give charming accounts Of the
lives and habits Of plants, insects,
fish and amilals.
Care should be taken that the books
selected are: scientifically accurate
although simble.
Live pets serve to instil in the
child respect for other life beside his
Eown and to give him Z sense Of res
possibility in providing for their care.
Few parents need to be told the
value of individual gardening, and if
no greater space can 10 provided, a
window box will serve as q garden
bed.
The intelligent parent realizes that
the child is above all things else a
self-active being. This abundant ac-
itvity is a compelling force which
must find an object upon which to,
spend itself. In other words, the child
must be. "up and doing" Let US,
therefore, endeavor to always pro-
vide him with worthy objects upon
which to expend that divinely pro-
vided energy.
Life lies before him and we wish
him not only to obtain the best from
life, but to contribute to life some
thing worth while. He exerts influ-
ence as unconsciously as he breaths,
and as parents it is our privilege to
see that he becomes a conscious in
f1uence for good.
Every act of his is helping to form
the life he is ia lead, and it is our
privilege to equip him for his jour-
ney with a strong, clean, healthy body
a well stocked mind, and a spirit
which bids him serve his fellow man
and thus fulfill the law of God"

Training Little Children
BY Mrs. Edith Clark Cowles

face Of sand. Later on o. the child
developes It may be suggested to him
that he can build . house with blocks
in the center and LAY out grounds in
the sand about it. Twigs and leaves
make excellent trees; tiny sprigs help
to make the garden, He may even
have the beds laid off by shells. A
small pan Of water sunk in the sand
will serve admirably as q lake. Clay
can be moulded into people and ami
mails and more blocks will make q
barn or stable. The beauty Of all this
is that the child can do everything
himself, and is most happy in the do
ing. I.
A wooden box divided once hori-
zontally and once vertictlly makes a
four-roomed house, which can be
popered with wall paper samples and
furnished with furnature constructed
of cardboard. Books Of inctruction,
easily understood by most mothers,
are usually furnished with the heavy
quality of cover paper used for such
handiwork.
With a pair of blunt pointed sciss-
ors plain manila paper or colored pa
per can be cut into the most facina
ting plants, animals, people and many
inanimare objects. A cloth scrap
book, or one of heavy paper is easily
made at home, into which these cut
out objects may be pasted. This is
delightful work for rainy days and
needs little or no direction except in
the use of the poste so as to avoid
smearing or waste. "A child soon
leaCns to use paste daintily.
Children delight in stringing OBJ
jects. With a large blunt needle and
heavy thread they can string rose
hips, or cranberries, acorns, acorn
cups and many other natural objects.
When these are not available colored
wooden kindergarten beds, in the
form of spheres, cubes and cylinders
can be obtained and strung on shoe
strings. These beads supplement
blocks in teaching form and the know
ledge of color and number. ..
Milton Bradley Company has a
small booklet on bead stringing which
applies equally to the stringing of
other objects. -.
Most children develop early love
of numbers and take great delight in
counting. When the desire to do ehis
appears, it is wei to meet it, but not
to force it. The child may count or
may string all the beads of one color,
and Of various colors, by ones, twes
and by threes, tcording to his age and
ability.
A wise mother will not allow any
Of these exercises to continue indefi-
nitely. As soon as the child appears
bored or when new way of doing
the work in hand is not readily ac-
cepted, his attention should be divert
ed to same other form Of play or
work. There are so many little duties
inside and outside of the house which
an eager, wiling child can assist the
mother in performing, he may be
kept happily employed, while uncon-
sciously learning much that will be
always useful to him.
