One of the monthly magazines is
devoting a page to short stories on
what children probably think of their
parents in the disciplinary years. A
brief glance over the articles inn
presses us with the feeling that child
hood is chiefly hampered by not hav-
ing the richly supplied vocabulary

When a man solemly asserts that
he tshas worked like dog all day.
we take it that he has spent one hour
lat digging out rat, two hours
gnawing a bone, one hour waiting for
a cat to come down out of a tree, half
an hour begging to come into the
house and the rest of his time seat
ed on matin front of the door
scratching fieas.
Pride of ancestry is all right in its
way, but pride of personal conduct is
