TALKS CHEATING CHEATERS
BY DOROT THY DIX

And look at your son. A waster and a
spender. No serious purpose in life. No real
ambition to do anything worth while. Still
hanging like parasite on the family tree in
stead of having the grit to start out on his
own and show that he can stand alone Selfish,
overbearing and inconsiderate to his mother
and sisters. Churlish around home, which he
considers place where one can lay aside good
manners and the decencies of life. If you were
in the matrimonial insurance business you
wouldn't risk two cents on the chance of hap
pineSS that any girl would have married to a
man like that. You know that he will probably
never be able to make even fair living for his
family, and that he will vent his spleen over his
failure on his poor wife. You know that when
man of that sort finds that he has to deny
himself his personal indulgencies to support
his wife that his love vaniSheS and he hates
her because she stands in the way of his
pleasures. You know just how Stingy, and
mean, and cruel, and tyranical that kind of man
can be to a woman who is in his power.
The man you want your little girl to marry
is big, strong, self-reliant man who has proved
himself, who has higher aspirations than being
good dancer, or Sticking back his hair. You
want man who can take care of her, guard
her. and who will be tender and wise, and
true-not a jelly bean like her brother.
Yet you are going to let some other girl
wreck her life marrying the husband you have
prepared for her.
Perhaps in all the long history of "mans
inhumanty to man that makes countless thou
sands mourn" none is so cruel as that of
people raising up children to be the kind of
husbands and wives they would not be willing
for their own children to marry. We make our
children demons of selfishnesS. and thriftlesS-
ness, and i'll temper and expect them to marry
domestic angels.
Of course they don't Cheaters nearly always
get cheated, and biterS bitten. Our spoiled
sons and daughters marry other spoiled and I'M
disciplined sons and daughters, and yet we
marvel at the increase in divorce.
Every one knows that all of the other mis-
cry in the world is as a mole hill to noun
tain compared with the unhappiness of miser-
able marriages. We could stop that in one
generation if parents would only bring up
their sons and daughters as they hope some
other fathers and mothers are bringing up
theirs, to make good husbands and wives for
those who marry them.

OPEN AIR SCHOOLS
By H. AddingtOn Bruce

BY II. AQQlnStOn Bruce
or special Importance to parents and
4 school authorities at the beginning Of
~ another school year is the report of
survey of open-ar schools and open-Window
classes made by Miss Harriet l.. Wedgwood,
formerly a health instructor in the Massa-
chusetts Department of Public Health.
So far as 1 am aware, this is the first sys-
tematic review ever made OF methods and
results of the open-air system of education.
And it is particularly important as calling
attention to the need for more scientific
study of the basic requirements Of such a
system than has hitherto obtained.
For the opinions brought together by Miss
Wedgwood make clear that while Open-air
teaching at it's best is pretty unanimously
accounted productive of much good, there is
wide divergence of belief as to what consti-
tutes it's best.
Also it remains questionable whether the
open air itself or certain accessory factors
contribute most to the good results reported.
To quote some of the opinions collected:
"Health education must be given or else
open-air provisions are only partially effec-
tive in producing permanent gains of the
Children
Fresh air, rest and food are three factors
which have led to the success of the open
air school. No one of these three can be
dispensed with
"There are three essentials for success
full open-air school. These are fresh air,
warm clothing, and good food. No one OF
these can be omitted without harmful re-
suits to Children"
"The important factors in the success of
open-air classes are fresh, cool air; light,
food, correction of physical defects that re-
tard growth and development, and proper hy-
gienic living conditions"
"The essentials are ten hours Of the twen-
ty-four in the open, food, rest proper cloth
ing personal cleanliness"
"Play constitutes perhaps the largest SIN
gle factor in the development of the open-alr
school children"
1--WE have yet to learn what it is about the
usual open-air class which functions so eff
fectively. Should success be attributed to
low temperature, temperature changes, hui
midity, breezes, special feeding, sleep and
rest periods, ungraded clesses, picked teach
ers, or to a combination of these elements?'
From all of which it is plainly evident
that, while continuing to make use of an
undoubtedly educational innovation, real
effort should be made to secure the maxi
mum benefit from it through gaining surer
knowledge Of what factors in it count for
most.
Miss Wedgwood suggests a widespread ex-
perimenting, with uniform charting Of re-
suits according to record sheet which she
submits with her report. All school author1-
ties who are interested-and all school au-
thorities should be interested-can doubt
less obtain a copy of this report by applying
to DR.. Eugene R. Kelley, Massachusetts

DOROTHY DIX

ISTEN parents: When you look at your
| daughter do you see the kind of a. girl
- that you hope your son will be fortunate
enough to marry?
When you look at your son do you behold
the type of man that you trust your
daughter will be lucky enough to get for a
husband?
Or when you look at your children do you
pray God to be merciful enough to spare your
own son and daughter from the heart break
and misery that is bound to come to those
who marry such women and men as they are?
And, if you have reared up man and woman,
that you would not be willing to see your own
children marry, and whom you expect to palm
off as a husband and wife on two guileless
and unSuSpected strangers, don't you think
you have done about the rottenest thing on
earth?
Look at your daughter. painted-faced
doll, dressed in the exaggeraton of the style.
Her brains cut on the bias and frilled in the
middle Her ruling passion clothes. Her one
accomplishment jazzing. Extravagant. Selfish
and Self-centered. High tempered and utterly
lacking in self control. She does not know
how to cook or sew, or do any useful thing.
She has no idea of the value of money.
fine helpmate, that sort of girl will be
to poor man who has his own way to make
in the world, won't she? You can see the
mountains of bills she will pile up for her
husband to pay because she has never learned
to deny herself anything she wanted. You can
picture the RACES she will fly into when her
husband tells her he can't afford to give her a
new imported hat or frock. Your very stomach
revolts at the thought of the kind of meals she
will set upon her table, for she has never been
taught how to cook or make comfortable
home
That isn't the sort of wife you want your
son to marry. The girl you would pick out
for him dresses modeStly. She is sensible,
and thrifty, and capable. She knows how to
get the value out of a dollar, how to cook, and
make her own frockS. and trim her own hats,
and feed a man, and look after the ways of her
household. She is the kind of woman who
stands behind a man and pushes him on some
times. and holds him back other times, and
stiffens his spine when he begins to weaken,
and without anybody knowing just how, finally
jockeys him into success.
The price of this kind of wife is above
rubies. What is the real value of the gold
brick sort of a wife your daughter is going
to be?

OUlPS AND OUIDDITIES

A young man who had been married only
a couple of years confessed to having five
children.
The first home was in the twin cities Of
Minneapolis and st. Paul and twins arrived
They moved to the city of Three Rivers and
triplets came
What on earth,' said the father, would
happen if moved to the Thousand Islands

What makes you think there's no sense
in our proverbs, Count?"
For example, ask one Englishman his
favorite maxim, and e say: Don't let treble
treble you till treble treble you!' And anozer
e says: He who laughs, laughs, laughs
laughs!'"
81 wonder how Solomon got his reputa-
ton for wisdom?" said the large wife.
81 sure Susan, it was not through any
thing he thought out for himself, said the
meek little husband. You see he had a
great many wives, and he must have listened
very carefully to their ADVICE

America ~, the World Court

America IN the w orJd Court
<<vT is pleasing to read in the news from
Geneva seat of the League of Nations,
that 1.-The greatest applause of the day"
was evoked by the election of Mr.. John Bas-
sett Moore to the bench Of the International
Court of Justice. Thus did leaders in world
affairs register their regard for America and
for one of her particularly distinguished sons.
Mr.. Moore was Counsellor of the State De-
partment at the beginning of the Wilson ad-
ministration, when Mr.. Bryan was Secretary,
and nightly esteemed by the President.
Counsellor he would have remained and even
tually, no doubt, have been called to the head
of the Cabinet, had he not found service I'M
der Mr.. Bryan distasteful and resigned; With
what dignity and goodwill he withdrew is
still fresh in the public's mind, although 1t
was some seven years ago; he made no hurry
at parting and wrote no book by way OF self
justification. One can but regret that this
self-contained master Of international law and
statecraft could have looked into the seeds
Of time and have tarred till the Secretaryship
fell vacant
That he will measure fully to the high du-
ties of the international Court and reflect
honor upon his country goes without saying.
His position is somewhat anomalous in that
this great tribunal and the League through
which it was created is without official recog-
milton by the powers that be at Washington.
That circumstance, however, is no discredlt
to the Court nor to the rank and file of this
country, highly regrettable and unfortunate
though it is America had a leading part,
through the services of Mr.. Root, in design
ing the Court, and through Mr.. Wilson de-
termining part in the processes that made 1T
possible. Naturally, then, when the members
of the League came to select judges they re-
served high place and the hearty applause
for an American.
The International Court soon will be fully
functioning as a part of the new world order.
It's opportunities for usefulness are ripe, and
golden it's promise of effective labors for
peace broad-based on justice.

'OStaI Saving

daily saving of $1,000 in interest charge
on the basis of 5h per cent is being made
by the business community of New York
through the earlier delivery Of registered
bank mail arriving in the greater city, ac-
cording to a report by Postmaster General
Hays from the Federal Reserve Bank of
New York.
The bank reports that an average of $6,-
100000 daily is collected through the Clear
ing House on the day of receipt, which, I'M
der the old conditions, would have been re-
ceived too late for clearing.
On July /, the postoffice department ar
ranged to have this class of mail made up
in direct sacks, either at the place of origin.
or so arranged in transit, and sent direct to
the postal stations in the financial district
without going throug-l the general postoffice
This method saves considerable handling and
often avoids tWenty-four hours delay by get
ting the mail into the Clearing House before
10 a. m, the time when transactions for that
day close.
The Federal Reserve Bank reports that
during two weeks Immediately preceding the
inauguration Of the direct pouch method, the
sum of approximately 100000 a day was
deferred in the United States treasurer's &C
count. Checks received from the treasurer
have been collected on the day Of receipt,
