NO PLACE LIKE HOME

There were so many wonderful buildings in New York that she tied her tongue in knots trying merely to reclteA their names. And you cerld get fresh Holsters and clans and crabs in New York and see all the new shows first and buy the very newest clothes.
 Why, Anastasia got you so worked up with sympathy and sorrow fer her suffer- ings that you felt like crying Lady, lady !. Take my million duliars and go buy some candy to soothe your sorrowsp But des- perate as 1t was for my wife and myself our little son took it still harder His cousin Anastasia's son, had considerable to say for himself No matter what Thomas showed him, or where he took him, William bore himself in a constraln- ed and painful manner, full of condescen- sion, not to say boastfulness. His pooh and huh and sniff were eternally ringing through our private family welkin until one dayNI reached home early In se- cluded corner of the porch 1 beheld two half grown beings struggling and writh- ing. The being on top ever and anon punched the being on the floor good swift punch in the face, meanwhile utters ing loud. fierce words.

bility that we may discover and develop a. few masters, but that we may open to all the people new pathways of self-ex- pression and happiness.
 The beginning of every art is in ap- preciation. The wise mother today does not have her child begin music'Nby sit ting him down, reluctant at the piano and having him take music lessons, like an iroculation. She sees to it that he hears much good music from the cra- dle days until he is. as it were, satu- rated with music and is eager to find some way of expressing music with his voice and fingers.
 And so the way to help a child to art is to help him to feel for color to rejoire in fire and sunlight and shadows. to en- joy tracing out happy designs, and per haps best of all, to learn to love pie lures.
 The homeliest playthings may be used to develop the color-sense. Bright bits-of pottery, marbles, scraps of cloth, shells, flowers goldfish, all afford daily oppor- tunities and even a display of bright fruit preserves or aluminium dishes in
 the kitchen and the use of well-selected paint and wallpapers may accustom 8 child to good taste in the humblest home All studies that have been made oi | childrens interest in pictures indicate that their first liking is almost wholly for l the story. They are not very particular about the color, and they have no inborn | taste for the Old Masters. The people in the pictures are their friends, and il 1 is the dramatic rather than the esthetit consideration that effects them

NIGHT SCHOOLS.

With the long evenings with us and the cold weather coming on this is the season of the year when the attendance at the night schools usually picks up. The advantages of the. evening schools are such as to get much more attention and a bigger attendance than they do. There is chance net only for those who cannot read and write to get certain amount of valuable education but for those who have had some schooling to make themselves more proficient and therefore better able to deal with the problems that are confronted in every day life.
 Too much emphasis cannot be given to the benefit that is to be obtained in con- nection with the evening schools to push forward the much needed Americaniza- tion work. These schools have done much for the alien within our midst and they can do much more. not only for those who know nothing about the Eng fish language but for those who have acquired some knowledge but can make good use of more. The opportunities ought not to be disregarded. Their ex- istence and importance ought to be fully and properly presented to those for whom they can do so much, for it is through such schols and the instructions given to people who have been denied such advantages that most valuable service in behalf of better citizenship can be rendered.
 Not until recently has there been any law requiring attendance at evening school Even now it concerns only those who are working under employment cer- tihcstes and who have not completed the regular grammar school course. But even though attendance at night school is voluntary for many who could get much benefit therefrom and for those for whom it was originally intended each and every one who can be helped there by should be made acquainted with its purpose and value Those who need the help given by evening schools should has ten to get it.

T don't like your tone of voice I seem to know what's coming and I'm right here to block the road My wife's sister has just gone on home down east, and my wife's sisters small boy, and trust they have acquired wisdom. An astasia-my wife's sister-began to sniff before her train struck our city limits and by the time we greeted her at the station she had about passed away.
 She said every time she came to Chi cago she wondered harder and harder why the people who built railroads to this town picked out such frights of ways to get into the city and that something ought to be done about it. She wasn't quite certain what, but some little thing like running the tracks down Sheridan road or Michigan avenue so that the traveller would land with sweet, bright impress l sion of the place.
 What rasped Anastasia most was the constant insult to her higher nature and | love of beauty. She said there were only two or three handsome buildings in the | whole place, whereas in New York, even lowly hot dog palace compelled admir-. l ing attention by its architectural charm and classy atmosphere.

CLEANED FROM FOREIGN
 EXCHANGES.

It is far cry from the old censor ship of plays to the modern censorship of films as exercised by the British Board of Film Censors. We must agree that the case of the films Is very different from that of>the drama proper. The films are sent broadcast over all the world: they are articles and sold like other industrial products; they are consumed. on large scale, like sweetmeats or German sausages. and it. is well that the public should be protected against the poison they may contain.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

MT. Editor: In your editorials concern ing the dynastic crisis in Greece yod seem to think that there is no demand on the part of the Greeks for democ- racy, and of course that is the impress sion your readers will receive which is not only incorrect but unjust to a large part of the Greeks here and in Greece.
 We then feel that you will be good enough to allow, 'us to correct this mis- conception and to state that the great part of the Greeks are in favor of a democratic form of government, and that the weekly magazine Athenaeon of this city sent last Wednesday a cablegram to Premier Venizelos demanding, in the name of it's 5000 readers, the immediate declaration of democracy in Greece.
 Very truly yours,

But all that the child is going to be grows out of what he is, and all that he is going to have depends upon the wisdom of our giving now.
 When we ask ourselves what art means to a human being we soon answer our own question by saying; Art is a rneans of happiness and a means of expression If we ask further, whether it may be both to all, we reply: It may be a means of happiness to all, and although to only
