CHILD'S EVERYDAY EDUCATION
BY KATHERINE BEE6E.
(Author Of Kindergarten Activities.")

In one OF her interesting and illumi-
mating articles published by the Out
look Elizabeth Childs quotes at length
from 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 child arrives in the
kindergarten "a badly damaged arti-
cle."
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
a 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 handlcaps will permit.
The Mothers Viewpoint.
Now what has happened at home TO
two such little creatures equally en-
lowed 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
growing body, and expanding mind
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

Fortunately, when we built our six
room bungalow we provided a nursery
for our little ones, 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 center for outdoor work and
play, we had sandpile under TIE
trees. This had been left by the build
ers. and to close 1t In the children dug
trenches on four sides, into which we
inserted planks.
Baby Center of Attraction.
For pets we had goldfish, mother
bunny with little ones. and our own
tiny baby of three months. The baby
served as 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 OF
children of varying ages, each younger
child depended on an older for leader
ship, assistance and consideration.
The acknowledgements learned to
lend n hand to the four-year-ohds and
to be patient and kind with the littlest
ones.
Having neighborhood nursery
school has a tremendous advantage for
the busy mother who has difficulty In
| nnulnG Illnc LOT uninterrupted WI n
and play with her own child. Children
will play contentedly together for long
hours, especially if they are provided
with a few materials to work with.
/ And as the hours of the nursery school
are known in the vicinity, the children
confine their visits more and more to
this time. The whole routine Of house
work is accomplished more quickly and
in better spirits when at the same time
the mind is occupied with the learning
of stories, finger plays, songs. games
and so forth, and on the planning of
work for the children.
The nursery neighbOrhoOd school not
only affords the busy mother in the
ordinary home a means of giving the
right kind of training to her own child,
but it provides the opportunity for
knowing, in an intimate and unusually
happy relationship, the children who
are to be his playmates for a number
of years.

The Way to End 1t

Pepsodent is based on pepsin, the
digestant Of albumin. The film is albu-
minous matter. The object Of pepso-
dent is to dissolve it, then to constantly
combat it. t. ..,l.
Pepsin long seemed impossible, It
must be activated, and the usual agent
is an acid harmful to the teeth, But
science has discovered a harmless acti-
waiting method. Now activated pepsin
can be applied, night and morning, to
combat that film.
Leading dentists everywhere are now
advising Pepsodent. Countless people
have already adopted it. And trial
tubes are offered everywhere to show
others what it does.
Send the coupon for a To-Day Tube.
Note how clean the teeth feel after
using. Mark the absence of the Shiny
Aim. See how the teeth whiten as the
fixed film disappears.
Let your own mirror show you what
Pepsodent means to your teeth. Then

A To-Day Tube Of Pepso-
PAA dent, to show you how to
d ~ end film, See below. ,
On Your Teeth Now

There is now on your teeth a slin1y
film, You can feel it with your tongue.
1t clings to teeth, gets between the
teeth and stays.
The tooth brush alone doesn't end 1t.
The ordinary tooth paste does not dis
solve It, So month after month it stays
there and may do a ceaseless damage.
That film is what discolors -- not the
teeth, 1t is the basis of tartar. 1t holds
food substance which ferrnents and
forms acid. 1t holds the acid in contact
with the teeth to cause decay. !
Millions of germs breed in it. They,
with tartar, are the chief cause Of pyor-
rhea. Most tooth troubles are now
traced directly to that film.
Dental scientists have for years
sought a way to end film. They have
known that brushing could not save
teeth if it left that film upon them.
Now that Aim combatant has been
found. Convincing tests, under able
authorities, have proved it beyond
question. The method is now embodied
in a dentifrice called Pepsodent. And
we supply it free for testing to anyone
who asks.
