BUILDS CHARACTER OF CHILD
Klnderuarten One Of the Most Valuable
Features In the Scheme Of !
Education.

Kindergarten methods, whether be-
gun by the mother in her own home or
by the trained teacher in school, are
of inestimable value to the child. for
character building is always made their
principal aim and object.
Perhaps mothers may not have been
trained in kindergarten methods, but
at least they can learn how to tell
story. Anyone can read q story, but
telling one is much more effective and
much more enjoyable to the child. Ev-
cry mother should learn how to tell
a story. Use your own words and
choose simple and fOrceful ones. A
bare plot is interesting to the tiny
child, but many details should be sup
piled for the older boy and girl; they
love them. Use direct discourse when
possible. Be enthusiastic. Be dra-
matte. After the story Is finished, talk
it over freely with the children. Choose
some stories which teach kindness to
animals and some which give training
in morals or good habits, but never
point the moral.
A taste for best literature can often
be formed in early childhood through
a wise choice of stories. This Is also
true of music. The songs and music
used In the kindergarten are always
carefully selected by the Kindergarten
and should be just as carefully selected
for the home by mothers. Allow your
children to hear only the best.
Besides story telling and music, there
are also pictures. Those which inter-
est the child most show action and
movement. Pictures are helpful be-
cause they develop the Imagination and
arouse the creative faculties.
Games also aid In the great work Of
character building. They help to de-
velop self-expression and originality
and can also be used to teach self-help-
fulness toward others. Through games
children, may be made to discover the
evil effects of self-will ard the good
resulting from self-control.
Play a story with your child. See
how attentive he will be and what
powers Of self-expression he possesses.

Any mother who worries because
her boy in the United States army is
not getting good food to eat, and
plenty Of it, is nourishing delusion.
While his rations may not suit his
fastidiOus taste as well as the pies
that mother used to make, 1t is better
suited to preserve his health and

has taught him to depend on the essen
tials, and he is content If his food is
wholesome, we'll cooked, properly di-

SHE HELPED BUILD SHIPS

Many q woman who stands an
day over q washtub and an ironing
board, cooks three meals and looks
after brood of small children has a
far harder job than most men in the
shipyards."
This ID the conclusion of Mrs. Mar
guerite Il. Harrison, widow Of Thomas
b. Harrison of Baltimore, based on .
weeks experiences in overalls as q
shipbuilder for the Bethlehem Ship
building corporation at Sparrows
Point, Md.
Believing that the time may come
when the wives and mothers and sis
tiers of the men who must fight will
be needed for shipyard work in tho
United States, Mrs. Harrison applied
for and got her job; determined to find
out Just what q woman shipbuilder
would be called upon to do and 'wheth-
er she could do 1t.
She was the first woman shipyard
worker in this country, and as the only
