stock called for is the strained water
in which either veal or chicken has
been cooked. The small cans of con-
densed tomato and the real Par
mesan cheese will be found at any
Italian shop.
For enough ravioli for about six
servings you will require the follow

There are many recipes for to-
mato sauce used by the Italians but
one that is generally recommended
for those Of average means follows:
Cook together for eight minutes one
third cup butter, a finely chopped
onion, three-fourths of a teaspoon of
salt and few grains of freshly
ground pepper. Add small can of
condensed tomato, one pint Of water
and about ten ounces Of lean beef
cut into small pieces and cook one
and one-half hours. Remove meat
before serving.
So many admire the flavor of
macaroni when it is served a la
Milanaise. This style of sauce is
made by adding to the tomato
sauce six cliced mushrooms. two
slices Of cooked smoked beef tongue
cut into little strips, and one-half
cup grated cheese.
To properly prepare macaroni
make ready a pot of boiling sailed
water and plunge the macaroni into

TOAppreciate
Parents
BY w. A. McKeever.
Widely Known Lecturer and Author
and National Authority on
Juvenile Problems.

(("T E teach children how to
" look for good qualities
of their parents and how
to praise these in public" said the
woman principal OF a large school in
addressing an assembly of the par
ent-teacher association. Children do
not naturally discover and appreci-
ate the best that is I'm their par
ents. Even in the high school we
have noticed a typically weak and
vague understanding OF the quail
ties of patience, sacrifice and for
bearance which all good parents
must have"
After thus stating her most signi-
ficant method OF teaching chill
dren parental respect the able prin-
cipal gave a further outline Of
her method substantially as follows.
Once per year there is instituted.
a Fathers Day. and also a Moth
ers' Day" in every grade from the
first to the eighth inclusive. On tina,
day every pupil must give either
spoken or written testimony upon
the merits of the parent under dis
cussion. Orphan children are ex,
pected to commend their foster par
ents, IL they have any; or they may
describe the virtues of an imagined
ideal parent.
The little children, too young to
write essays, are asked to stand
one at a time before their fellows
and give a list of the good qualities
which they have discovered in their
parents. They are encouraged to
question father as to the favorable
details about mother, and, vice
versa, as to the personalities about
father.
The older children must write
their sketches in very brief form
and read these before the entire
class. In an effort to make this
important recitation most helpful
to all, the teacher will furnish a
complete outline containing pos
sibly a list OF all the good qualities
to be found in an ideal parent.
