TRAINING THE CHILD
TO M SELF-RELiANT

The development Of sclfrclinncc IL
Of vital importance In child training,
and one cnnnot begin too carly 70
teach children TO help themselves.
Often, ID Is very much harder and
may take more time To let them DO
something than do IL oneself, but,
time and effort are not wasted when
they are thus spent
The best way to help child TO be-
come self-rcliant is 10 give him sim
pie duties at first. adding more diff
cult ones as he grows older At an
early age, every baby viii try to take
off his shoes. Instead Of scolding him
for doing this, show him how TO do
il and also how TO put them on again.
After learning this he will soon try
to manage the rest Of his clothing;
before long, he will be able TO dress
and undress himself with very little
help.
Self-reliance and orderlness may
be developed in child at the same
time, for the little one who can take
out and put away his own toys, may
play with them when he will. II he
has place for everything and keeps
everything in its place, he can have
much more freedom for play, and will
not have to wait for someone to
come to his assistance.
Often a child asks for help in do
ing something which he could do for
himself If he only knew how. Too
often busy or impatient mother
will wait upon her child to save time,
and then the next time he wants the
same help. he will come to her again.
If the mother had taken few nom
ents the first time to show him how
to help himself, there would have
been no second time. For example,
not long ago little three-year-old
boy came to me and asked for

FIRST TO TEACH PHILOSOPHY
Honor 10 Accorded Thaies, Who Es-
tablished a School Which Exerted
Wide Influence.

The first school Of philosophy was
established in Miletus (Asla Minor)
by Thales, one Of the wise men, and
was qc;te a remarkable institution,
exerting an influence for more than
a century.
Thales seems to have given himself
more entirely to this school than to
any Of his other undertakings. There
is a legend that he never married, and
when his mother pressed him to do so
he said. 1T is not yet time" After
his youth was passed she again urged
longer time"
Many Of the subjects taught in his
school. such as astronomy, geometry
and geography, show the influence OF
Egypt and Phoenicia; but the phi
losophy was probably an original prod
uct, for while some of the sciences
were somewhat advanced, the philoso-
ply was apparently first attempt at
an explanation OF the origin Of the
world. 1t originated movement
which eliminated more than
century later in the idealism of Plato.
We may perhaps understand some
thing of the attitude of the COM
mon people toward Thales' school Of
philosophy from the story of the old
! woman who laughed when the master
fell backward into a ditch after gaz-
ing too long at the stars. The old
woman not only laughed, but she is
said to have called after him: IF
you cannot see what is under your
feet, how can you understand what is
in heaven?"
The geography and astronomy
taught in this school were very prim-
tive: The earth was flat, the sun
circled around it horizontally, being
| concealed at night by high hills. One
writer of the time describes the world
in the following poetical way: "God
makes a mantle, large and fair and
embroiders on it earth and ocean and
oceans dwellings,"

Different KINDS OF SPEED
Aviator and Motorist Didn't Have the
Same Kind Of Comparison as
They Travelled.

The motorist was taking an aviator
friend, recently returned from the
army air service, out for a spin.
Thinking of the 125-mile-an-hour speed
to which the airman was accustomed,
the motorist felt that it was incumbent
upon him to 'let 'er out" His friend,
he felt, would feel badly ambling along
ut the land rate folks are used to trav-
cling. So he cut loose and the car
was tipping along at something like
so miles an hour.
Then the motorist felt a hand laid
upon his arm.
"Going pretty fast, aren't you?" re-
marked the aviator, a trif1e uneasify,
After the motorist had slowed down
he asked: "Why, thought the best
speed I could make would seem slow
to you. How is it that it appeared so
fast?"
"You see, in the air, even at our
greatest speed, we seem more or less
stationary unless we look below us and
see objects Hitting past" explained
the aviator. "You know speed can
only be reckoned visually-by things
one is leaving behind. Now, the gait
you were moving few minutes ago
looked mighty fast, intentionally fast
I might say, to me. 1 kept noticing
things we are leaving behind."'
swell, I'll be darned," said the mo-
torist. II never thought Of it in that
way before"
And the hand of the speed clock fig
gled back to the 25-mile mark.-Kan-
sas City Star.

Iutely Essential to the Checking of

through the spread of Infection, other
animals may become exposed and in
fected.
In 1.-The work of controlling hog
cholera, for instance, perhaps the
greatest hindrance has been the ten
dency Of farmers to attempt the
herds, or else to call in an unframed
,layman, who frequently does not
recognize the disease or advises the
wrong procedure in the handling Of
the outbreak. According to experts
it is not always an easy matter to
recognize hog cholera, as symptoms
are sometimes obscure. Other all.
ments of swine, such as pneumonia,
worms and tuberculosis, at certain
stages of development, somewhat re-
semble hog cholera. Accordingly.
training and experience are required
to distinguish between these and hog
cholera.
The practicing veterinarian should
acquire all possible knowledge per-
tanning to control and suppression of
hog cholera. OF late many complica-
lions associated with the disease have
created a multiplicity of opinions
among those who claim to understand
the various ailments Of swine, and
even within the veterinary profession
hasty judgment has in some cases led
to losses which could have been avoid
ed through q careful consideration of
facts, proper diagnosis and treatment.
This should emphasize the necessity
for the study Of cases, including the
history, environments and circum-
stances involved in an outbreak, be-
fore attempting to decide on the cause
of trouble. Then comes the physical
examination of the animals. Look
for abnormal action, breathing, gait,
appetite, digestion and other func-.
Itions. Next, take the animals tenn
perature with a good, reliable ther-
mometer. Even then positive dag
nosis is not always possible until a
post-mortem examination has been
made, which means an examination Of
the various organs and parts Of the
body after death.
; It is evident that all swine-produc-
ding localities should have someone
available whose services, based on
training and experience, are reliable
In detecting and prescribing for dis
leases Of live stock. And farmers
should realize generally that they can
not afford to jeopardize their herds
by attempting to administer treatment
which requires certain amount of
technical application. 1t is better to
call a qualified veterinarian than to
run the risk Of losing valuable AMI
mails, to say nothing of the possibili-
lies of causing a widespread epizootic
outbreak of destructive animal
disease.
