GAVE. HIM PRACTICAL LESSON
How One Common Sense Parent Set
Up "Store" to Teach His Heir
g.. to Figure. -

We heard recently of boy ten
years old who was very backward in
arithmetic and got poor marks at
school. His father finally decided to
help him by actual experience.
He started him in business by keep
ing a grocery store in the attic of their
home. The boy does all his own buy
ing, selects his goods and keeps a
stock on hand. The mother buys her
supplies from him at the regular price !;
he keeps the profit for his own spend
ing money.
The father insists that he keep his
own ledger and keep it accurately or
the business will be stopped.
The boy enjoys the idea of the store
and his own. responsibility, so has
eagerly learned from his father the
way TO buy and sell. make change,
figure profits and keep simple. ac-
counts. The, result is shown by his
interest in arithmetic at school and
by much higher marks. He has great
ly improved in the school work., be-
sides getting valuable training fol-
business.-Parents Magazine.

IMPULSE AND HUMAN REASON
Interesting to Note Just How the Ono
May Be Allowed to Dominate
the Other.

On the first cold night of autumn 6

up his house. AS he turned the key
In the front door collie dog that
had huddled against the screen slunB
down the. steps and lay down in q
drift of withered leaves near the porch
The man saw the wind whip his fur
The dog had an air of discourage
ment.
Cutting short an impulse to invite
the beast in out of the cold, argu-
ing that the dogs hair was long and
might be dirty and convincing him.
self that; it probably had home near
by, the man turned out the lights and
went upstairs to bed.
But he could not sleep from think
ing Of the dog. He returned to the
front door after q half hour, and,
seeing nothing Of the beast, he stepped
Sout on the porch to look further. He
was remorseful for what had grown
TO seem an act of brutality that the
dog would not have committed against
him. - -
AS d result of his brief search, which
was fruitless, the man. took sick and
was laid up with pneumonia: He had
been unable to find his slippers when
he went downstairs and had stood too
long on the porch in the cold.
There were thus three influences at
work in the man: The original i'm.
pulse to admit the dog, the culti-.
waited tendency to restrain an inn
pulse as something unreasonable,
and the final reasoned decision to act
It is plain that in the world most
persons. who obey their impulses are,
persons to whom the third influence,
the reasoned decision to act, is not
in agreement with the impulse and
hence results in only remQrse or re-
gret over having allowed the impulse
to sway them. While, as in the case
of the man and the dog, those whose
impulses are dependable for the most
part. that is, In accord with rational
theories of conduct, are persons who
shun impulsive action. for one reason
or another, persons who allow I'M
pulses to be only suggestion for an
act, and who consequently act too
late.-Detroit News.

"Are you bound by convention? A

The students who publish Spectator,

any reference to the age or figure Of
