Children As
Helpers
By Loretto G. Lynch.
An Authority on All Matters Per-
tanning to Household
Management.

<(DEAR ME, don't know what
to do with the children
when they are home from
school on Saturdays. they are so
full Of energy. and make just so
much extra work."
Did you ever hear any one make
the above remark? Yet, It should
be part of every child's training to
be responsible for some household
task. Every child should be made
to feel that he or she is an intri-
cate part of the home, that the
home exists because of that child.
and the child should be brought to
take a pride in helping TO keep
that home in good order. Outside
of the heavy cleaning even children
as young as eight should be respon-
sible for the order of their bedrooms.
A young man whose neatness was
remarked wherever he roomed, told
me that placing his warables in neat
order In the dresser drawer or in the
wardrobe had actually become part
of himself. For when he was a child
1t was his duty to put away all his
clothes each Monday evening.
II you own a vacuum cleaner, the
mechanically inclined boy will get
as much fun out Of cleaning one
room or the entire house with the
vacuum cleaner. perhaps, as he will
out Of chopping Of pieces cut OF the
hardwood floor with the exc, or an
moving the neighbours cat.
Where two or more children are
set to washing the dishes the task
becomes far less irksome than when
one child must do It alone. Bedmak-
ing every boy and girl should learn.
II you arrange to change your bed
linens on Saturday the child gets a
chance to enjoy the psychological
effect of working with crisp, clean
things.
1t will not hurt any boy or girl
to either wash or iron such little
articles as handkerchiefs, napkins,
hair ribbons or the like. Nor will
II be a great burden for the children
to sew buttons on their clothes.
No task should take more than an
hour or two from the child's day OF
recreation. Tasks requiring shorter
time might be arranged for after
school hours each day. Small re-
wards such as a bit of money or
specially desired story book or a toy
might be given as a reward for good
work.
So let the children have house
