Here Is healthy boy Of twelve.
What we most want Of him is that he
shall develop himself in character and
ability to the utmost extent Of which
he IL capable. II there Is a precious
little spark Of originality or germ Of
leadership anywhere about him, we
most want him to discover that and
develop 1t, for there Is never enough
leadership and originality in the world.
We are always wanting inventors and
leaders in industry, In politics, in sci
ence, In art.
SO we take this boy at half past
eight In the morning and stick him In
q hard seat, right behind hard desk,
and tell him he must not bulge If he
values his hide. He must not even
shuile his feet or look about; he must
not whisper to the boy next him.
We give him certain carefully pre-.
scrlbed books, none Of which interests
him very much, and tell him It makes
no difference II one of them happens
to interest him more than another; he
must give exactly the same attention

takes the books. Just as some well-reg.

BOY BLUE
BY ELIZABETH GRovEsTElN.

When jerry Stanton was very lit
tie fellow he had been called Little
Boy Blue" by his fond parents. Now
the term as applied to him had big
ger and broader meaning, for the only
son Of the proud Mr.. Stanton was
sailor boy in blue.
Indeed, Jerry was lad to be proud
Of, one who would be able to do his
bit for Uncle Sam. But he had one
grlevous fault which threatened to be
his downfall, jerry was concelted,
very, very conceited. Why, 1t did not
seem to surprise him in the least when
he learned that the sweetest little girl
In the whole wide world had fallen In
love with him. However the entire
blame should not be placed on Jerry's
shoulders. He was doubtless the spoil
ed pet of an over-indulgent mother.
Now, to be sure Louise Gray was
deeply in love with the handsome STAN
ton boy, but she knew he thought too
much Of himself, and 1t troubled her.
Time and again she would pucker up

himself as others saw him.
One warm and lovely summer eve

Most surprising, but not wholly

But Josephine had vanished into the
bedroom Of the little fiat.
II was the worst day Of that "never-
emembered-such-a" winter. There had
been heavy snow fall, thaw and
then sudden freeze, with thick, black
ice over everything. And In the night
the weather had moderated and rain
had fallen In torrents on the Ice. This
morning II was still raining, with a
heavy wind. II was day when sensl-
BILE folk wore creepers over their rub
bers, and other people lost their pride
in the good old Biblical way.
Josephine appeared, clad in a very
becoming brown raincoat and little tan
hat. She wore brown boots and ridlcu-
lous low rubbers, and carried brown
umbrella.
Sister Anne stood at her tower win
dow and watched Josephine slip down
the hill, using her folded umbrella as n
staff. Anne began to chop nutmeats
for sandwiches, wondering what her
erratic sister might be doing. The
reality was this:
In the nearest store, Anne marched
bravely up to the counter.
1.-TWO pounds of sugar, please" she
said, with her sweetest smifeT
mo sugar In the store" growled the
harassed clerk for the one hundred

"There's no sugar in the store" the
next grocer told her, land more than
that, there's no sugar up to my own
house, and Tn In the grocery business.

haired italian woman In a red shawl.
Josephine went out on more ice.
For an hour she slipped and slid
from one store to another, and heard
the same story in fifty-seven varieties.
Josephine paused on a corner to collect
her forces and decide where to attack
next. This particular corner was at
the foot of hill-this city was built
on more than seven hills-and the side
walk sloped at an unpleasant angle;
also the building on that lot projected
In such a way that pedestrians coming
down the SIDE street were completely
hidden from those on the main thor
Oughfare. Josephine had seen so many
people fall that day that she now me-

that was why she noticed the gray

What the mother may do at home will
be helpful, but what the kindergar.
ten does every day for three hours
will be far more so. In kindergart-
en- the child is a member Of a socia
group and learns the valuable les
son of consideration Of others and
the spirit of team work.
May say to mothers who are moi
within reach of public kindergart-
en-, that your best course is to agi-
tate and cooperate to have one if
it is a possible thing. i'MllU
IL that cannot be done and some
kindergarten materials can be pur-
chased, a catalogue from Milton
Bradley Company, Springfield, Mass,
or E. Steiger & Co., 40 Murray St.,
New York, will be helpful in select
ing the list Of materials desired.
However, the spirit is more i'm
portant than the material. "Come,
let us live with our children" saws
Froebel, and "Come and play with
us" say the children themselves.
Look back in memory to your
own childhood. What are your
dearest recollections Of your moth
err Her unceasing care for your
food, clothes, teeth, eyes, health7
Or is it not rather that happy day
you took your lunch, mother and
the rest, and went for an unexpect-
ed picnicY Did the shopping trips,
the ehurch-going, the calling, the
occasional matinee, leave the deep
est impress, or the quiet hour when
mother was alone with you and read
or told you stories?
Dear mothers, numbered, like Mar
tina, with many cares, can you not,
see that the practical and necessary
services which you render your
child minister to the physical, which
passes, but the hours Of play and
mental effort which you share and
encourage and the ideals you set up
for emulation, these are the meat of
the spirit of your child, which nour-
lsh the very essence of his life, de-
veloping in him that intangible
something we call personality, and
forming his contribution to the
race.
