division of Health Education
T.. G. Gowaps, Director

Parents and teachers alike should
be advised as to the points in child
training that are valuable as promot-
ing and preserving mental health The
following suggestions recently put
out by the National Committee for
Mental Hygiene are so valuable that
we pass them on:
Give your child opportunity for a
variety of wholesome activities and
! interests.
Train your child to work hard in
some regular occupation suited to
his ability and talents. but to avoid
f"tigue by alienation OF work and
rest.
Train your child to give attention
TO the present situation rather than
to the future.
Train your child to strict obedience
in a few important matters and let
him alone in regard to unimportant
things.
Avoid conditions that tend to pro
duce overstrain or precocity. The
special business OF young child is
to be a child-to grow and TO play
with other children.
Protect your child from shocks. Do
not Brighten him yourself or let 9TH
er people do so.
Encourage frankness and direct
ness
Give your child a variety OF well
cooked wholesome food in ample
quantity at regular intervals.
Train your child to avoid drugs and
stimulants of all kinds.
Train your child to healthful habits
of sleep in fresh air giving oppor-
tunity for at least nine hours. and
for more than that before the age
OF twelve.

"ENCHANTED ISLAND"

Cyprus, fairy land of the Mediter-
ranean. which Greeks have been urging
Great Britain to turn over to them. has
history no less strange than the fic-
tion of Shakespeares "Othello," for
which the island, in part, is the setting.
Richard Occur de Lion wrested it
from a ruler who had won it by forg-
ing letters in his monarch's name af-
fer that ruler. Isaac Comnenus, had
refused 10 let the Crusaders ship
wrecked and seasick lady-love land
there the first time she asked.
Richard married Berengaria there
and went his way. after turning over
the island TO a penniless adventurer,
Guy de Lusignan. who founded a
'feudal state amongst spice gardens
and silken luxury" and thus establish
ed a dynasty which has been described
nc the most romantic European his
tory.

westward from Asia and southwark
from the bleak Russian steppes toward
the warmer seacoaSt lands. Moreover,
BeSsarabia is at the conveyance OF
these two histOry-beaten paths. and
many times a clash ensued to decide
which group should pass through the
meek of the bottle toward Europe's
lands of milk and honey.
Among the most narrowing of the In
vasions was that of the Mongols in
the fourteenth century. They casle
across the Volga under Batu. grandson
of that Mongol Charlemagne, JenghlI
Kahn, and though there is no complete
story of their depredations in Bes-
sarabia, that region probably suffered
atrocities similar to others which are
recorded in narrowing detail. At
RyaZan women and children were used
as targets in boW-and-arrOW contests !;
slivers Of wood were driven under the
nails of the men; then they were cor
rallied in churches to watch their wOnl-
en- being tortured, and finally roasted
alive. Another city, Kozelsk, was re-
named MobaIig. City of Woe" and
Kiev was laid waste after her people
had been MANNED and murdered.
A picture of peaceful, pastoral Bes-
sarabia prior to the renewed ravageS
of the World war, furnishes pleasing
contrast. A delight to the few tour
lists who went through the region, were
the Moldavian homes.
a Moldavian interior was immaculate
and vivid. Brightly-cOlOred curtains
and hangings were used. An inevitable
decoration were rows of yellow
gourds, the raising of which is one Of
the minor Bessarabian industries. The
people are deeply religious. Each ortho-
Odox home had it's altar, facing east
ward, sacred bread beneath the icon,
and cornstalks placed in the shade Of
a cross before it. Even the affairs
were colorful because of their draper
les and candles, and many times they
were laden with flowers. The BeS-
sarabian women are sprightly, bright
eyed. and pretty.
Moldavians constituted about half
the inhabitants of Bessarabia. ROu
mania. it will be recalled, was formed
by the union of MOldavia and Wal
lachia; hence the adjoining Bes-
sarabia, with it's large Moldavian pop
ulatiOn, long has been the 'Irredenta"
of ROumana.

PALESTINE: PIGMY LAND
WITH A GIANT HISTORY

The HISTORIC Holy Land where moved

memorated around the world this
week, is characterized asa. tiny lit
tie country by viscount James Bryce,
IN communication. to the National
Geography society.
Though the travellers hand books
prepare him to find Palestine SMALL
IT surprises him by being smaller than
lie expected. Taking it as the region
between the Mediterranean on the
west and the Jordan and Dead sea on
the east, from the spurs of Lebanon
and Hermon on the north to the desert
at Beersheba on the south, it is only
ITO miles long and so to 60 broad-that'
is to say. it is smaller than's New
Jersey.
of this region larger parts. did not
really belong to ancient Israel. .Their
hold onethe southern and northern dis
tricts was but slight, while, in the
southwest, wide and rich plain along
the Mediterranean was occupied by
the warlike Philistines, who were
sometimes more than q match for the
Hebrew armies. Israel had, In fact.
little more thar fbe hill country, which
lay between The Jordan on the east
and the maritime plain on the west.
King David, in the days of his power,
looked down from the hill' cities of
Benjamin, just north of Jerusalem, up
on PhHistine enemies, only % miles
off, on the one side, and looked across
the Jordan to Moabite enemies, about
as far off, on the othey
Nearly all the evsrts in the history
of Israel that are recorded in the Old
Testament happened within a territory
no bigger than the state of Connect
and into hardly any other country has
there been crowded from the days of
Abraham till our. own, so much history
that is to say, so many events that
have been recorded and deserve to be
recorded in the annals of mankind.
Nor is it only that Palestine is
really small country. The traveller
constantly feels as he moves about
that it is q small country. From the
heights, "a few miles north of Jeru-
salem, he sees, looking northward, a
far-off summit carrying snow for eight
months in the year. 1t is Hermon,
nearly 10000 feet high-Hermon,
whose fountains feed the rivers of
Damascus.
But Heemon is outside the terri,
tory of Israel altogether, standing in
the land of the Syrians; so. too. it is
of Lebanon. We are apt to think Of
that mountain mass as within the
country, because it also is frequently
mentioned in the Psalms and the
Prophets; but the two ranges of Leb-
anon also rise beyond the frontiers
of Israel. lying between the Syrians of
Damascus and the Phoenicians of the
West.
perhaps it is because the maps
from which children used to learn
Bible geography, were on a large scale,
that most of us have failed to realize
how narrow were the limits within.
which took place, all those great do
ings that fill the books of Samuel and
Kings. just in the same way the
classical scholar who visits Greece is
surprised to find that so small ter
ritory sufficed for SO many striking in
