The Problems of
HOME AND FAMILY
A Talk with our Wives, Mothers,
and Sisters
Spelling Children's Lives

Many child lives in a prison
whose walls are made up OF count
less 'don'ts." The world for them
is a dreary place, and life an un-
happy affair. AS the body of a
child would cease soon to grow in
a real prison cell, so both body and
mind are stunted and deformed in
a prison Of this peculiar kind.
We must have fewer don't s"
for them and more do's". This
applies not to little children alone
but to older ones as we'll.
In these articles, we have al,
ready named two or three kinds Of
activity, for which Nature has
given every child a love, and which
actually contribute to their growth
and development. Let us add to
this list their natural desire to
make things, which the psycholo-
gists call the instinct of creative.
ness.
We see the little boy absorbed in
making a kite or willow whistle
but fail to see the urge of nature
that is behind it and out of which
his childish delight is drawn. Sim
ilarly, the little girl may make
mud pies, OF a cap for her dolly,
with precisely the same signs Of
satisfaction and pleasure. And as
they grow older, the one will be
found making a sled, a writing
desk or a telephone outfit, while
the other tries to make for herself
dainty apron, to embroider her
own handkerchiefs or to knit a
sweater. There is a reason why a
pocket knife or a set of tools lights
up the face of little boy or a
work box wins the heart Of little
girl.
1t makes no difference whether
the creative process is carried Oh
with the hand or with the mind,
That is, we take as much pleasure
in devising some new plan, such as
the designing of a new dress, 0,
J the thinning for hat, as we do in
Audubon County journal. (Exira, Iowa) 1884-1993, 1921-05-19

the actual execution of the design
later with our hands. Whether of
hand or mind, the act of creation
gives pleasure; and this is as true
of the little ones as of us who are
older.
We do not make sufficient use of
this instinct in training our chill
dren. It is always active. They
would nearly always be happy and
satisfied if they were making some
thing. The trouble is that they
need suggestions and guidance as
to what to make; and we do not
provide such help, notwithstand-
ing we could, with little thought
and study. find many childish en-
terprises for them to undertake
that would prove most fascinating.
Instead, we do nothing to develop
the instinct, which therefore Ian
cuisines and dies; and so they fail,
by reason Of our mistakes, to de-
velop the originality, the ingenuity
and the resourcefulness that will f.
nally determine in large measure
their success and efficiency in life.

"study Time. for Women

1t is becoming clear thata strong
effort is to be made within the
next two or three years to abolish
the direct primary system and go
back to the old convention plan of
nominating candidates for office.
By the convention plan, the
candidates Of each party for the
various public Offices we're for
mally chosen by delegates who had
in turn been named by the voters
at the party caucuses. That is,
not the voters themselves, but the
delegates chosen to represent them,
actually named the party candi-
dates.
The primary plan did away with
both caucuses and conventions for
the most part, and established a
special election, called primary
election, at which the voters were
expected to choose the party candi-
dates directly.
The reason assigned for making
the change was that the conven-
lions seemed so often to be under
the control of party bosses and
tricky politicians. 1t was believed
that the voters themselves would
be less easily Influenced than their
delegates by the crooked gentry
who were trying to control the
public offices Of the country for
their own private gain.
Some think the present move
ment to abolish the primaries is
due to the fear that politicians gem
orally have of the women of Amer
lea, and that they have decided
that their only chance OF control
ling political affairs in the future
lies in getting back to the old con-
vention system.
At'any rate, it seems in order for

When Men Lose Patience

The question of whether women
should continue longer to hold the
Jobs which fell to them during the
war, but which the returned SOL
diers now need, is becoming acute
in several of the nations that par
ticipated in the war.
In Italy the soldiers have taken
things into their own hands after
waiting more than two years for
the government to take action for
their relief. Within the past few
weeks, they have turned all women
clerks out of the public offices in a
number of cities and taken possess
sion of themselves. They used no
violence, but they were firm in
their demands; and the women
have accepted the situation and
stepped out without protest.
Perhaps something like this may
be looked for in the other countries
that took part in the war eventu-
ally; and it is probable that the
women will be found in such cases
generally willing to yield their
places to the men. This is quite
certain to be true if the men who
demand the Jobs are, as they seem
to be in Italy, those who have
been actually disabled in war
service.

Our Stand for Ideals

Our Stand for Ideals
Can a nation practice the teach
ings of Christ without being made
to suffer by reason of it's unselfsh-
ness?
Our own country, for instance,
sacrificed about one hundred thou
sand men and expended approx
mately forty billion dollars to
make the world safe for humanity.
1t asked nothing in return save
that it should suffer no actual in
jury when the final settlement was
made.
In contrast with this, Japan sac
rifced total of perhaps three
hundred men and spent not more
than one-fourth Of billion dol
lars in the great conflict. But be-
fore doing this, she demanded guar
antees out of all proportion to. the
lives and money expended.
So it has come about that not
withstanding we sacrificed more
than three hundred times as many
men and spent one hundred sixty
times as much money as Japan, we
have nothing whatever to show for
our effort whereas Japan has ac-
quired all the German possessions
in the Far East, the rich Chinese
province of Shantung, a multitude
of islands in the Pacific, and even
the cable station Of zap, by which
she actually cuts us off from COM
munication with our Philippine
possessions.
Does it pay for nation to be so
ideal:stic as to fail to look out for
it's own interests when other ma
lions are known to be looking out
for theirs? Or should we continue
to stand for peace and goodwill
among men, knowing that others
are taking advantage Of our kind
ness of heart and altruism?
The answer to both of these
questions is probably Eyes" But
it is considerably harder to see it
when we are thinking of actual
cases like this one than when we
are mediating upon mere abstract
principles.

When Hope is Dead

An epidemic Of divorce is one
among the multitude of plaques
that have come upon Germany of
late. 1t is stated that there is an
average of one divorce there at
present for every eight marriages.
Worse yet, the suits are in nearly
all cases being brought by the
men, who allege that the women
have broken their marriage vows.
1t is thought that the leading cause
is the hasty war marriages Of a few
years ago followed by the long alb

A Mothers Triumph

One of the two women most in
the public eye of our country Of
late is Mrs. Sally j. Farnham, of
New York City.
She is one Of Americas greatest
sculptors; and the unwilling of her
colossal statue of Simon Bolivar,
the Washington of South Amer
ica," on April Goth at New York
was made the occasion of great
international celebration in which
practically every nation of the New
World participated. Indeed, the
flags Of twenty republics aoated
over the statue; several were rep
resented in person; and one, Peru,
sent greetings the whole way to
New York by aeroplane.
Mrs. Farnham is the mother of
several children. She is good look
ing, has reddish brown hair, a
sunny disposition, and seems to
look upon life as something that is
really full of Joy and gladness.
One of her sons, who is an avia-
tor, flew all the way from Cuba to
be present at the unwilling Of the
great statue which his mother had
made.

If a glass stopper has become
fastened in a bottle or jar and is
difficult to dislodge, try tapping it
gently with something else made Of
glass. You can easily remove it.
This also applies to tumblers that
