THE WOMAN CITIZEN.
Training Young Citizens.

Are we teaching our own children
morals. There is a National Insti-
tute for Moral instruction located at
Chevy Chase Washington, D. C. It's
aim is to help direct the education of
hoys and girls that they may become
strong and useful citizens. While
this may be task demanding public
concern, it is even more-much more
"a task for mothers, demanding
daily thought and effort.
The Institute has selected thirty
two rules or ideals for the good citi-
zen.' "He tries to gain and keep
perfect health, to control himself, is
self-reliant, reliable, plays fair, does
his duty, tries to do things the right
way, works in friendly cooperation
with his fellow-workers, is kind and
loyal
Address the Institution, if you are
interested, and see if you are teach
ing your children all the thirty-two
fundamentals.
Whoever is leader of the Boy or
Girl Scouts or the Camp Fire Girls is
performing a great moral service for
the community, for these are the
ideals taught through these organiza-
tions.

The Dreaded Examinations.

School children all over the land
have been tortured of late by the First
Semester School Examinations. Just
what is the need of these, it is diff
cult to understand. Any teacher who
is observing at all, and every capable
teacher is that, knows without sub
jecting her pupils to this nervous
strain whether or not each one Of
her students is fit to pass. Cram
ming for examinations seldom pro-
duces lasting results and the health
and nerve strain may easily undo
what few benefits there may be to
the examination.
In Geneva, Switzerland, this year
and the coming two, no examinations
will be held. If the experiment is
successful, this condition, happy for
children and parents, will be perma-
nent. The relief has already pro-
duced an improvement on the minds
and bodies of the school children.

country child gets only sixty five, and
besides this city schools offer ad-
vantages which are not equalled by
country schools. Is that one reason
why the boys and girls leave the
farm?
The National Child Labor Commit
tee explains this poor attendance at
school by the country child. It is
due to CHILD LABOR on farms and
ranches. Do not blame the heartless
manufacturer, fathers and mothers, if
you let your own child be thus depriv-
ed. This child labor on farms and
ranches causes as much absence from
schools az illness, bad weathe, bad
reads, distance of home from school,
and Indifference of parents and chill
dren all combined. And this is not all

Nurse care is bringing up the health
of city children so that they are

in life? How will they be able to
compete with the city children who
are getting forty per cent more and a
considerable per cent better education
than they are each year?

STOP! LOOK! LISTEN!
(Florence Riddick Boys

Stop. Look! Listen!
For spring is round the bend,
And all the wounds of Winter
The gladstone Spring will mend.
Bright from the fence and tree-top
The blue-bird's wing will flash;
Out from his hidden burrow
Young Rabbit swift will dash.
Cold Winters cruel rigors
The kindly Spring will end.
Then Stop! Look! Listen!
For Spring is round the bend.
Stop! Look! Listen.
Fair Spring has right Of way.
Most willingly we yield the track
Clear through the month Of May.
Sweet violets, peeping from the
grass,
With joyous thoughts will fill us;
Soft bird-notes, called from bush
and bough,
With tender fances thrill US.
With open hearts and eyes and
ears,
We hail her happy sway;
We Stop! Look! Listen.
For Spring has right Of way.
Stop! Look. Listen!
Glad Spring is right at hand.
The sky is soft and sunny;
Gay blossoms deck the land;
All balmy blow the breezes;
Mild is the amorous air;
And love breathes from the atmos-
phere.
A sweetness everywhere.
With pagan joy we worship.
With reverence we stand.
And Stop! Look! Listen
For Spring is right at hand.

What can be more sweetly satisfac-

many abandon it too lightly.

The nursing bottle was an invention
of antiquity. Early utensils Of this
kind were the nursing pot and boat,
much like our teapot and gravy
bowl. In England was the feeding
spoon,' covered spoon with pipe
like handle through which the child
took thick cruel. 1t was not by &C"
cident that a plague of ricketts,
among the young followed its lnven-
ton. Most feeding spoons were OF
pewter, but the rich had silver, hence
came the expression "to be born with
a silver spoon in his mouth
But long as the nursing bottle has
been known, it has only been IN pop

the decadent stage when wealth ac-
cumulates and men decay 1t IS
then that the high-born ladies, who
have become pleasure-lo loving and con-
slider only their own ease, refuse to
be bothered with the care of their
young. 1t usually follows an age OF
dissipation.
Summer will come along presently
with its struggles and its dangers for
small babies. How many Of these
will survive will depend in large part
on how many mothers are living the

babies, twenty-five die during their
first year. OF every hundred breast
fed babies, only six die during their
first year.

Children's Bureau Chief.

Miss Grace Abbott, is the second
person to hold the position of Chief
of the Children's Bureau. She has
succeeded Miss Julia Lathrop, who
was appointed by President Taft ten
years ago when the Bureau was es-
tablished. Miss Abbott has served in
the Bureau under Miss Lathrop and
is familiar with all the latter's plans
and deals and is thus able to carry on
efficiently the enterprises which were
begun by Miss Lathrop. Up to this
time, the work of this Bureau has
been greatly handicapped by lack of
funds, but the Maternity Bill will
place new power and ability in the
hands of the Chief so that it may be
expected that Miss Abbott will be able
to get more satisfactory results.
Miss Abbott, as Miss Julia Lathrop,
is also Hull House, Chicago, work.

nouncement was made today by relief
organizations that approximately
10000 persons had been rendered
homeless in Mississippi and Louisiana
by the floods along the Mississippi
river. Forty thouand of these are
being cared for by various relief ag-
encies and $4,000 others are scat
tered throughout the flood areas, the
announcement said.
Representative Of commercial and
civil organizations in New Orleans,
working under the state food relief
committee, began campaign today
in this city for the collection of mon
ey, provisions and clothing for the
thousand or more persons driven
from their homes by the crevasses in
the Mississippi river levees at Poy-
dras and Myrtle Grove, below New

iacent to the two breaks have been

ever. have remained in their flooded
homes.

of the fourth ]evee district, today
branded as improbable an idea enter
tanned in some circles that the Miss
issippi river might change its course
to the Gulf of Mexico by seeking an
outlet through the Poydras crevasse
Due to the fact that the break has
widened to 800 feet, approximately
one-third of the width of the river at
that place, and that the water has
washed hole about As feet deep I'M
mediatel yback of the site of the de-
stroyed levee was reported to have
caused some fear that the river might
desert its old bed for the shorter
course to the gulf.
Major Coiner said he did not be-
lieve it possible for the food waters
to scour a new channel between the
crevasse and they gulf through Lake
Iery which would become deep
enough in the natural life of the
food to attract the current from its
old basin.

Of our dear mother and wife, Pol
lie Ann Frances Shealy, who depart
ed this life April 5th, 1922.
And art thou gone, our dear one?
Gone to thy peaceful rest above,
Couldst thou no longer tarry here
To bless us with thy tender love?
Yes, thou art gone! Pale is thy cheek,
And cold is thy brow as winter snow!
Death has forbidden thy lips to speak,
And stilled the heart that loved US so.
But, dear one, we will think Of thee,
I'd bless the Lord of all your care
Well think how oft you counselled
US,
And gave rs to the Lord in prayer.
And. dear one, when our breath shall
cease,
And when we must bid the world
adieu,
May we, like you, depart in peace,
And ever live with Christ and you.
