Situation.

London, Feb. 12.-William Adam
son, leader Of the Labor Party in the
house Of commons, speaking today on
the industrial situation, said it was
almost as menacing and dangerous as
war itself. he said the principal Ia
,bor amendment to the reply to the
address from the throne would relate
to- the; causes Of industrial unrest.
;aI hope,n he continued, "shat no at

the legitimate expectations Of the
working people. Ali sections Of the
people should understand that we
have reached the stage when we have
laid the card on the table, and when
the working classes win refuse longer

Mr.. Adanlson said he. regretted no
mention had been made in the kings
speech concerning PENSIONS or Of the
disposal Of government Ship yards,

which millions had been spent or Of

party Of constitutional lsborites, In
referring to 8 suggestion that the
present unrest had beer caused by; a
revolutionary group, no said, his
group never would encourage revolu-

The revolutionary elements, the
labor leader said, could exercise lit
Tie influence unless there were genu-
inc grievances which they could Ell
plot, Unfortunately, he said, there
were many grievances concerning
wages and hours Of employment and
fear Of more unemployment as well
as a fear that the government was
encouraging monopolies which would
make the cost Of living impossible.

London, Feb. l2.-Progress on tne

Ter thought, had contributed to the
unrest. Among these seopdi ditipns were
the strain Of four years OF war and

life, land settlement for soldiers,
land reclamation and afforestation.

Discussing housing conditions, the
premier referred to overcrowding in
many districts which had been aggra-
waited during the war by congregat-

government would do its best to ale

CHILD'S EVERYDAY EDUCATION
BY KATHERINE BEEBE
(Author of Kindergarten Activities")

In one of her interesting and illuml-
mating articles published by the Out
look Elizabeth Childs quotes at length
from a book by Gayley called Idols
of Education" in which the trials of
the college with uneducated high
school students, of the high school
with uneducated grammar pupils, and
of the grammar school with unedu-
Gated children from the homes are con-
vincingly set forth the conclusion be-
ing that many a child arrives in the
kindergarten "a badly damaged arti-
Gle"
Kindergartners know this to be true.
When the new group comes in in Sep
TENDER its members can at once be
roughly classified into two divisions,
the trained and the unframed. The
former are the teachers delight, the
latter her problem. The former can be
led onward and upward by means of
normal and joyous activity without
friction or loss of time. The latter
must be worked over, wept over, ex-
perimented with, disciplined and led as
far along the road as their unfortunate
variety of handicaps will permit.
The Mothers Viewpoint.
Now what has happened at home to
two such little creatures equally en-
dowed at birth? What is the reason
for this unhappy difference? The an
swer is in the fact that the mother of
the one child from the first intimation
of its existence has consciously or sub
consciously reasoned with herself in
some such way as this: This little
new life will come to me possessed OF
a growing body, and expanding mind,
q developing soul. During the first
years his growth will be so rapid and
so vigorous that what he learns will
set the tendencies for his whole flu
ture. He will get in proportion more
education in the first five years than
in the twenty which follow, and this
education will be an everyday educa-
ton. During all his waking hours he
will be learning, observing, absorbing.
Everything he sees, everything he
hears, everything he does will count.
If / want him 10 be strong, alert, wise
and good must begin at the beginning
and carry on; 1 must learn from the
best authorities how TO care for his
precious body; / must take counsel
with experts in child training for the
sake of his opening mind; / must talk
to him, walk with him, play with him,
read to him; I must provide for him
place in which TO play as well as to
eat and sleep; must see that he has
playmates; / must teach him to play
alone, to entertain himself; he must
learn to love to work, first by helping
me and later by having set tasks;
must know where he is and what he Is
doing all the time and we two must
be loving, sympathetic. intimate
friends"

WORK AND PLAY TOGETHER
By MRS. PRESTON +. oAss.

Very little children of two and three
years require the companionship of
other children in work and play as
much as those of recognized kinder
garten age. The child of two is in
tensely interested in the activities of
children four, five and six years old,
and is able to initiate. enlarge his
knowledge and experience. and even
share in their activities. The activi-
ties of the adults about him, while they
can be initiated and in some measure
shared by him, cannot have the same
value in his mental or physical devel-
opment.
When daddy saws a large board with
large saw, the two-year-old is inter-
ested but when the four-year-old saws
a small board with small saw, pos
sibly making some toy that Will be
used by the little one, he is more than
1nterested-he saws wood as soon as
he can. Watch an adult try to amuse
this two-year-old with a new box of
blocks. Invariably the blocks are piled
high for steps, towers, arches and so
forth. and the little child finds great
delight in sending the blocks tumbling
with a crash TO the floor. He takes
no particular pleasure in the building
of one block upon another, and we
think he has not yet reached the age
for building. Now the group of older
children making structures with these
same blocks do not pile them one up
on another, but lay them side by side,
to form the walls of a house for the
doll or barn for the woOlly dog. And
immediately the little one is interest
ed, not in tumbling the blocks down,
however, but in laying them beside
each other, one after another.
In Any Home.
Many mothers realize this need of
their children to have group activity.

she say to herself consciously or sub
consciously? Let US be honest and
face the facts, for judging by her re-
suits it is something like this: ut is

who make such fuss about training

the first few years 1 am going to let

and to school and be taught there.

going to do just as 1 want with him.
Being my child, he will Of course come
out all right in the end"
Danger in Neglect
Now sometimes he does, but in spite
of home influences rather than because
of them. Thanks to his teachers, his
companions and the sharp lessons of
experience he often manages to grow
up fairly decent man. But, oh, what
he has missed! And alas for the pow
ers of mind and soul which never I'M
folded, for the spiritual development
unpossessed which might have been

On the other hand, often he doesn't,
and n view of this fact how does any
mother dare to take chances? For
from the ranks of the so-called, and
well-called, spoiled children come the
fretful, fractions, screaming, unhappy
babies; the shy, self-conscious and I'M
controlled kindergarten children; the
irresponsible scatter-brains of the pub
lie school whose school life is one long
series Of adjustments between parents
and teachers; those high school stu
dents who arrive in college with no
powers of work or concentration the
girl who is hoy crazy" the boy who
goes wrong. From this class are re-
cruited those children who, as every
teacher knows, have perverted
ideas of the facts of life and bad
physical habits, those youths and
maidens whose lives are blighted on
the threshold; those cases of Adde'S
cents which furnish newspaper articles
with large headlines. In
the light of the facts that these things
are all about US how does any mother
dare to neglect that all-important
thing, her child's everyday education?

however. if the mother is willing to de
vote a few hours day to working
and playing with the children in the
immediate nefghborhood under school
age, or those at home for the long sum-
mer vacation.
Whenever the weather will permit,
activities are best carried on out of
doors and very little equipment is nee
essary; sand pile, if possible, an un-
used kitchen table, or wide board laid
on any available foundation. with box
es for seats or the little chairs which
each child may bring from home. The
materials already on hand for use by
the children in the home. such as balls.
bean bags. blocks, Mother Goose and
other story books, will serve the whole
group. The other mothers of the neigh
borhood are sure TO be willing TO con-
tribute, for the use of all. materials
which their own children possess, and
each child can bring some Of his pen
MES for the purchase of paper, paste,
crayons, and so forth.
Fortunately, when we built our six
room bungalow we provided nursery
for our little ones, a large practical
room with fireplace and built-in
shelves, so that our group found space
for all indoor activities there. Any
room not needed for other purposes at
the time of the school session might
be used equally well.
AS a center for outdoor work and
play, we had a sandpile under the
trees. This had been left by the build
ers, and to close it in the children dug
trenches on four sides, into which we
inserted planks.
Baby Center of Attraction.
For pets we had goldfish, a mother
bunny with little ones, and our own
tiny baby of three months. The baby
served as a center for many of our
doings; many times our songs were
sung to him. our houses of blocks made
for him, our table constructed for him.
The children watched him grow
through the months and he was the
real handspring of our group life.
Since the group was made up or
children of varying ages, each younger
child depended on an older for leader
ship, assistance and consideration.
The five-and-sfx-year-old learned TO
lend a hand to the four-year-olds and
to be patient and kind with the littlest
ones.
