Dear Mrs. Thompson: % My
little girl last year went into the
second grade. Her teacher peri
mitted all the girls to sing except
my little girl She made her stard
up with some boys and keep still
and listen TO them. Now she is ia
the third grade with the same mu-
sic teacher and she does the same
thing to my little girl. She cries
all the time when she comes hoEie
from school when they have a mu-
sic lesson.
Should she go home when the
teacher comes TO sing with the chill
dren? She would like to sing with
the girls.
~ Do you think that was right
when the teacher let all sing to-
gether and one had to keep still and
stand up while all the rest sat in
their seats?
Some first and second grade
teachers told me she is a very good
girl and all of the teachers like her
except the music teacher, What
shall l do?
EVERYDAY READER. y
"a The condition which exists
between your child and the music
teacher should be investigated.
do not think she should go home
when the music teacher comes.
There should be some understand
ing so that she will be allowed to
sing in the customary way. IL she
does something avoidable to irritate
the teacher, such conduct should
be stopped.
(2) STheN teachers punishment
would have been all right once, but
to repeat it every week is wrong.
Go directly to the music teacher
and have talk with her. II is only
right that you should know her side
before you criticize. II you do Not
get satisfaction from her explain
the matter to the p@lpcipal of the
school.

Shoe On the Other Foot.

Some people-members of congress among
then-have bitterly criticised the president for
what they were pleased to term his neglect of
duty in devotin'g his attention lately to inter
national, rather than to strictly home affairs.
They seem to have forgotten that it inter
national matters that got into all this
trouble.
Congress is to meet May - and 1t will have
a Republican majority in b.tn houses. vast
amount of important business, much of it
forced over from the last session BECAUSE of
a Republican flibuster, is awaiting attention.
By the choice they make as to which they
shall first talk and legislate about, United
States affairs or world affairs, we shall pres
emily learn whether the critics Iof the president
are prepared 10 practice what they have been

MRS. SWEET VIOLET.
The only course for you is 70 be
patient and let your husband tire Of
the woman or she of him. AS LONG
as he enjoys her he would think
you were unreasonable In case you
objected to her.
OF course you realize you have
no cause to be jealous. Your hus-
band loves you and does not dream
of caring for the other woman
she merely amuses him. Ii is evil
dent that if there were anything be
tween them the woman would not
call at your home; she and your
husband would be more secret IN
their relations.
Do not tell the woman's husband
Such a course would belittle you IN
the eyes Of all.

you let things take their natural
