PARENTS AS EDUCATORS
we Are Ready, Santa"

BY Lydia Lion Roberts
Tho minister made a jolly, plump
Santa Claus, and the little ones wait
ed before him in breathless, eager
suspense Suddenly one little voice
piped up, ''Are you coming 20 our
house, Santa2" Immediately there
was a chorus, 1--WE been good, ara
you coming 20 my house?" ri. ally
one little girl cried, I'VE worked hard
and cleaned all up for you, Santa.
Are you coming 20 our house to-
night?"
The last child had the right idea,
and | think there must have been n
happy, busy Christmas at her house,
with mother and the little helper
working together TO keep the joyous
time Too many things at Christmas
time are done By mothers for chill
dren when the ideal way is 10 do
them with the children. In that way
there are never any fussy, restless,
bothersome children, but a willing, in
terested, unselfish group OF young
sters having the real spirit Of the
day
where's the pretty things7", vail
ed q five-year-old daughter as she
surveyed the dining table on = holi-
day.
Il haven't had time to get the
usual decorations" replied the hur-
rying mother. Then noticing the
disappointment on the child's face,
she suggested, you know where |
keep them in the attic; why don't
you get them and arrange them for
mel"
The little girl trotted off happily
and much 10 her mothers secret sur
prise, did get the simple napkins and
crepe paper runners and flags, and
placed them very dainiily on the
table The proud delight of the
child was a revelation to the mother.
and after that she always said few
days before a holiday, "Well, daugh-
ter, we must soon be getting ready
to make a nice holiday and have
everything clean and pretty" Then
would follow plans for a few simple
ways the child could help.
The best Christmas Of all 70 the
children would be the one when they
helped make table decorations, chains
and paper flowers for the tree, help
ed pack the box Of food or clothing
and gifts for the unfortunate ones,
and worked hard and cleaned all
up" for Santa Clans

The Root Chinese Agreement.

Careful study OF the resolution in.
troduced by Elihu Root Of the Amer
loan delegation to the armament con-
ference. and agreed to by eight inter.
ested powers. leads to the conclusion
that it provides the basis for enduring
peace in the Pacific and the far east.
It does not undertake to settle all the
questions involved In the far eastern
problem, but It does remove as q mon.
ace to peace the one most likely to
bring the nations into conflict. 1t
brings the eight powers having chief
interest in the Pacific into solemn
agreement that in the future there
shall be no further encroachment upon
the territory Of China or curtailment
Of her political and administrative in
dependence.
China's future thus being secured
against aggrandizement at her ex-
pense, methods Of relieving her from
difficulties arising out Of the past can
be worked out with elaboration and in
a more hopeful atmosphere. 1t is i'm
probable, even were II desirable. that
solution Of all these questions could
be accomplished at the present confer.
ence. China must go q long way to-
ward setting her own house in order
and in demonstrating that she has
capacity to protect interests legiti.
mately acquired before it can be ex.
pected the powers will surrender all
the. guarantees which the incapacity
Of the Chinese government has made
necessary.
1t is to be hoped. and the world has
} q right to assume, that in subscribing
to the Root proposals the powers have
set out upon a road which in time
will lead to China wholly self-gov-
erning and with no foot Of her terri
tory Hnder foreign control. 1t may be
that years must pass before this end
can be accomplished. but China has
much to do and is very, very old. with
q bulk SO huge that it can progress
but slowly. The years Of waiting
should seem but brief span to a peo-
pie OF such great antiquity.
Though full realization Of the hopes
Of China may Of necessity be deferred,
the Root resolution will stand as a
great achievement in practical states
nanship with idealism as its impelling
motive. It Is a long, almost a suf.
ficient, step toward accomplishing one
Of the two primary purposes Of the
conference. and 1t probably is the
greatest single measure OF assistance
which could be rendered China in
working out her own internal difficult
ties.

French Suspicious Of Germany.

In his speech at the plenary session
Of the arms conference Monday Pre-
mier BRAND dwelt briefly but signih-
cantly upon the difference between
land and naval armament Preparations
with reference to the possibility OF
Germany equipptng herself Tor re.
newed warfare against France. Ma
terials of war, he said, can be secretly
manufactured and hidden for future
use. Furthermore, guns and munitions
can be made in friendly countries
nearby under cover and shipped dis
guised to the land Of their future use.
Warshipe, however. cannot be built
secretly. They must be fabricated at
the waters edge. They are SO bulky
that they cannot be hidden from oh.
servation. Thus naval arms limitation
is practicable, while no absolute guar
antee can be given against concealed
preparations for land warfare.
In these references Premier BRAND
undoubtedly gave voice to a deiinite
suspicion. It is known that the Ger.
man laboratories and plants were, 1t
the close Of the war. producing i'm.
mense quantities OF war materials.
The chemical works were turning
out enormous volumes Of poisonous
gases. These establishments were not
scrapped under the terms Of the armi-
stice. but have been turned into IN.
dustrial plants for the making Of dyes
and other chemical materials. When
recently one Of the largest Of these
works, at Oppau, was destroyed by an
explosion the suspicion was not lack
ing that munitions were being manu-.
factured there. The destruction was
so complete, however, that no traces
were. left on which a verifcation could
be based. 1szAt
1t is we'll to bear In mind this pos
sibility. A highly developed Industrial
organization such as that Of Germany
could readily be turned into an arms
making plant. Tools capable Of turn
ing out guns and ammunition could
be used meanwhile for making inno-
cent products Of trade. AS for friendly
foreign counties, there is no Official
system of observation to prevent sur
reptitious production for quick trans
fer into Germany.
Naturally, to the French mind these
suspicious are matters Of the keenest
concern. France knows painfully well
the thoroughness of German prepared
ness. France feels that Germany,
though defeated in 1918, is not beaten
in spirit and is intent upon some
measure Of rehabilitation. The quota.
tions Premier BRAND read from Lu-
dendorff's book clearly show that .
militant spirit is rife in Germany, and
1t is a logical deduction that propa-
ganda is in progress which makes for
the maintenance Of q militaristic pur-
noee
