PARENTS AS EDUCATORS
By Elizabeth Harrison

A famous educator has said, "Edu
cation has TO do with the development
of three powers; accurate observa
ton, sound Judgment and energetic
action.
Accurate observation naturally de
velops comparison and contrasts that
lead to correct judgment. The level
headed Judgment brings a conviction
of right and wrong that produces the
most energetic persistency in any line
Of conduct. What finer result can ed
ucation attain than the strong, ener
getic character whose Judgment can
be relied upon and whose facts will
stand all testing?"
And yet we leave our little children
in a hazy world of confused sense.
impression, rarely even calling on
them to use any judgment; and often
times not satisfying their eager ques-
tioning with accurate statements OF
the things about which they are in
curing. Is this not due to the pre-
vailing belief that 1t does not matter
what little children hear and see or
with what they occupy themselves so
long as they keep we'll and are not
too much trouble?
The comment Of a well known edu-
Gator and father who has made a fine
success Of bringing up his family of
children Is worthy of our considera-
ton. He said, 1.-THE parental attitude
and next to that the teacher attitude
toward the higher things of the mind
is of paramount importance, especially
in young children. The oftentimes con,
temptuous indifference with which ma
ture people treat the presence of chill
dren, displaying before them habits.
manners and conversation that are
anything but desirable. is to me one
Of the paralyzing wonders Of contem-
porary life"
Children all around us are observing
the and listening to the con
versation of the adults about them;
and the general bearing Of most chill
dren is a direct reflection Of their
home surroundings. If conduct is dig
nifed and conversation Is along the
line of some noble or %farreaching
theme the child will be greatly bene-
fitted. II conversation is petty or
puerile gossip about the limitations of
ones neighbors, the child's mind is
feeding upon that non-nutritious sup
ply; II conversation is bitter and con.
temptuons criticism Of the really high
and noble motives Of the worlds best
people, TO ciild's mind is feeding up
on that poison: for after all, it is the

F. w. Galbraith. Jr., national COM

abled veterans of the World war are
not getting what they deserve from
a grateful nation. The American
Legion, with it's membership of two
millions of these veterans, is bending
every effort to improve conditions,
thoroughly and at once. The legion
has investigated and made sur of the
facts and is proceeding in a program
to assure proper care of everyone of
the 10000 sick and disabled e~x-service
men, now inmates of some 1,400 gov
eminent and private hospitals, as well
as those needing treatment in the
future. Many think the war is over.
AS a matter of fact the physical after
effects of the war have not yet reached
their peak.
Disabled and sick veterans are be-
ing admitted to the hospitals at the
rate Of 5000 every month; those cured
are being discharged at the rate of
$500. This gives an Increase of 1900
cases every month. Experts estimate
that the peak will not be reached for
five years. There are about 500, 900
veterans who were discharged from
the service with disability Any or
all of these ment are likely to apply
for hospital treatment. Only $4,000
have received such treatment. since

Origin of Yuletide

Scandinavian festival held at the time
of the winter Solstice. The word Is Of

the Hindus, the Persians. the Greeks
and the Romans all had feasts at this
season, but especially the Northern
nations-the Teutons. the Scandinav-

In every virgin mother-breast
His Mother whispers now.
And wise men through the dark

that the Sim Fein was part of a

bolshevism and German revenge were
playing an active part. aiming OF the
destruction of Great Britain.
The duke alluded to an alliance al

1919 between the Sim Fem and boil

gram of the Sim Fein was very iden-

third International.
Sir Edward Carson elaborated his
theme of the existence In the United
