AMERICAN MOTHERS
BY DR.. JENNY 3. MERRILL

The phenomenal success of Amerf-
can boys at the front after an unusu-
ally short military training was not
only n great cause of thankfulness, but
indicated that American mothers
methods of discipline had not been 50
indulgent nor lax in the past ns some
good critics have feared. There has
been blessing in disguise in the free
action and self-assertion that are al
lowed American children.
Fifty years ago little book emitted
"Children's Rights" appeared in this
country. Perhaps 1t went too far. but
children have suffered long from too
great severity. Herbert Spencer In
England wrote of children's rights as
well as of women's. The words of pro-
gressive thinkers on both subjects were
needed. Later from Sweden, Ellen
Key sent out 1.-THE Century of the
Child" Later yet came from Italy
Doctor Montessori's outcry against
suppression of the child by arbitrary
discipline. and her advocacy Of disci-
pline biased on liberty"
Probably all of these leaders directly
or indirectly gained much of their In
spiration and guidance from Froebel,
who dared to write even in Germany,
"F'ollow the Child"
Never Flourished in Germany.
Froebel, the founder of the kinder
garten, was German but not Prusslhn.
Prussia soon recognized that "democ-
racy" would be the outcome of his
method and promptly suppressed 1t.
Many do not know that the kindergar-
ten never has flourished In Germany.
Froebel was In sense martyr and
died disappointed with his own ma
tion's rejection of the kindergarten,
but with his "eye of faith" he turned
hopefully towards America in which
country, he prophesied his Ideas
would flourish under democratic pro-
lection and guidance.
Mothers of America, many of them,
as well us teachers, have studied kin
dergarten principles for 80 years and
have again and again testified to their
value.
"What are these principles?" Read
Miss Emile Poulsson's Love and Law
in Child Training" This may be found
in almost any library or can be
bought from the publishers, Milton
Bradley Co., Springfield. Mass. for
81. Its very title suggests the kinder
garten's principles-love and law, but
not license.
Kindergarten discipline is loving.
steady and strong, not sentimentally
weak. kindergarten discipline prefers
positive rather than negative methods.
The life of the child is not fitted with
''don'ts," for there are so many good
things found to do. there Is little time
for mischief.
For Mother and Child Alike.
Childish mistakes and mishaps are
| met with patience. Mother gives the
little one time to recover himself. Self
control is her aim. Request is pre-
ferred to force. Politeness is the rule
for mother and child alike. Both use
frequently "the two little golden keys
4 thank you and If you please
"a soft answer turneth away wrath. "
"Grievous words" are avoided because
centuries ago 1t was discovered that
they "stir up anger" There are no
loud, shrill tones, but rather quiet, de-
cided emphasis, II need be.

GAIN IN HEALTH SHOWN BY MEN
LEAVING THE NAVAL SERVICE.

Men who are now leaving the Service,
are taking back to civilian life much
better physique on the average then when
they entered. Figures compiled by Lieut..
r. E. Ridge, Medical Corps, after exam
ming 500 men, show that in almost every
instance the individual is in considerably
better physical condition for having served
in the Navy
Measurements of the chest, biceps, and
waist line were taken and compared with
the measurements of the same men when
they entered the Navy. A general aver
age was taken and it was found that the
man going out has chest circumference
3D. inches greater than when he entered.
He can expand his chest an additional
seven-eighths of an inch. His biceps are
three-fourths of an inch larger, while his
waist line has reduced three-fourths of
an inch.
Out of 500 men it was found on the
average the individual had gained 5.3
pounds in weight since entering the Navy.
Fat men have reduced, youngsters have
become husky young men. On the aver
age, men coming from aviation have
gained more than those coming from
other camps. The greatest individual in
crease occurred in the weight of lands

view the country and the Republican
party are indebted for the publication
OF TINS interesting document which car
rles a message from him "who, being
dead, yet Speaketh." In the leading
article of the current number of the
North American Review Colonel Har-
vey sets forth the vital import of this
last penciled notation of Mr.. Roose-
welt. He says:

edged leader of the great party into

for 10 days; see Senate and House;

Here is evidenced as clearly as if the
few words filled a volume Mr.. Roose-
velt's realization of both his RESPONSE
bility and his obligation. The simple
memorandum marked the inauguration
of definite party policy to be carried
through to a no less definite conclusion.
1t was more than a passing thought or
a mere suggestion. 1t was a Message,
signifying the need Of immediate and
unremitting vigilance in achieving
complete unity OF action in resolving
domestic problems before attacking
those Of wider range soon to be thrust

purpose better than that these words
should have been his last. Difficult as
it is to reconcile oneself to the decree
of Divine Providence that the re-
moval of that great patriot at this cru
cial moment was not untimely, we can
not but realize, as he would have been
the first to acknowledge, that the last
vestige of animosities which might
have continued to impair his highest
aspirations was buried with him, and
thereby the perfect union which he so
ardently desired against all things I'M
American was attained.
"Thus we find the Republican party
resuming full legislative authority
thoroughly united and invigorated by
the peculiar confidence which so often
carried 1t to victory in former years"
