PICTURE BOOKS FOR BABY
81 FRANcEs JENKINS oLcoT1

BY FRANCES JENKINS oLcoTT.
BUY only the best picture books for
my baby!" a mother exclaims. "Why,
anything will do, if it is bright-colored
and viii not tear"
But will anything do? Baby's brain
is eager and alert. He is taking in q
stock of ideas to use when he begins
to speak and read. He is initiative,
and is learning TO do the things he
sees done in his pictures. He is de-
veloping his sense of color.
Pictures may be made the beginning
of baby's education as well as de-
light to him. And what JOY he takes
in entering into the life he sees in
each bright-colored print But he will
not learn from them unless they
please him. He. likes best, primary
colors, and large figures of animals
and of children ut work or play. Ris
first books should be untearable, so
that he Will not be able to destroy
them whenever the impulse seizes him.
The term untearabIe or indestructible,
however. does not guarantee that n
book will not be destroyed by rough
handling.
The picture books listed below gre
selected from among the best of their
kind Unfortunately many desirable
linen books are out of print on ac-
count of the war, while cheaply print
ed dull-colored ones are taking their
places. The books recommended in
this list are still in print, and all are
ucational-fanciful or humorous
and will delight baby for the first year
of his life and until he is four years
old and older.
Mother may begin to play with him
at choosing objects in the pictures,
calling off the name of each object as
he points to it. This little game will
please him and will teach him new
words and their meaning.

STRANGE THING is MEMORY

Among the marvels of the human
machine, memory is, indeed, strangest.
The great bewildering fact of memory
at all-of the miracle of the brain-is,
of course, as far beyond our finite APP
prehension as the starry heavens. But
the minor caprices of memory may. fit
tingly enough, engage ones wonder.
The lawlessness of our prehistoric
apparatus, for example-the absurdly
unreasoning system of selection of
such things as are to be permanent

memory be subject also to that down.

should stand by and see that no harm
is done TO valuable objects or to the
child himself. But if the typical child
be permitted to investigate such OBJ
jects as books and china until he has
discovered how they feel and how they
are constituted, until his touch-hunger
regarding them is gratified, he will be
likely to let them alone thereafter I'M
less he needs TO use them in some of
his games or plays. A wise parent or
teacher would provide books, dishes
and the like which could be used in
play. and which would make ii unnec-
essary for the child to experiment with
delicate things of real value.
If a parent leaves an unoccupied
child In q room which is furnished
with fragile, delicate furniture which
he can reach, and If he Is not per-
mitted to gain touch acquaintance
with these things under the guild
ance and supervision of the par
ent, then there is almost certain
to be trouble. The child will handle
the furniture when the parent is not
looking and accidents will happen.
Montessori apparatus, kindergarten
materials or Candoit toys In a house
will keep young child out of "mis-
chief" that may result disastrously
to valuable books or china or other
furnishings. Catalogues describing
these various educational playthings
may be obtained upon request from
the manufacturers: Montessori; APP
paratus, House of Childhood, New
York; kindergarten materials, Mil
ton Bradley Co, Springfield. Mass. !;
Candoit toys, The Falls Toy Shop,
Denver, Colo. A sandpile or gymnas-
tic apparatus out of doors will surely

T0UCH-HUNGER.
BY PROF. M. v. o'sHEA.

Psychologists say that every child
has hunger for experiences which
are necessary for his development. He
is hungry for sounds, sights, tastes,
smells and muscular strains and
stresses. These are all of fundamental
importance in the building of his mind.
A child would be an idiot who was not
hungry for these sense experiences.
The only way he can learn about OBJ
jects is by investigating them with
every sense that will give him any in
formation regarding them.
Many persons who realize that a
child must see, hear, taste and smell
all the objects around him in order
that he may come to understand them
do not appreciate that the hunger TO
touch objects is probably more acute
than any other kind of hunger. Ere
quently people think a child is mis-
chievous or willful when he handles
things around him when he is told not
to do so. How often one hears parents
and policemen and guards at museums
and all such folks say to children,
Don't you touch that Can't you
keep your hands off from things? /
told you If you touched any of those
things again would punish you," and
so. But child will handle objects,
even in the face of certain punishment,
because his hunger for touch sensa-
tons is so overpowering that he can
not restrain II.
What is to be done about it? In the
first place, the child should have as
great variety of objects as possible
to touch and use in his play activities.
He should be permitted to explore
everything around him by means of
the sense of touch. If necessary, the
parent or the teacher or the guardian

cakes and jellies and chicken pie.

Amos Grimshaw was there in our

woman came along and told our for

and was said to have the gift OF 'sec-
ond sight," whatever that may be. It
was a bright autumn day and the
leaves lay deep in the edge of the
woodlands. She spoke never a word
but stood pointing at her palm and
then at Amos and at me.
