TEACHING THE HABIT
OF GIVING THANKS
By Alice Wingate Frary

All thoughtful parents, l am sure,
wish their children to have "wide in
terests and simple pleasures" In
deed, the two go together, for the far
Their into the activities of others the
child's sympathies carry him, the
more wholesome pleasures he is bound
to discover for himself. To broaden
the outlook, Froebel has given moth
ers the Grass-mowing Play. Its gay,
old-fashioned little song, beginning,
'Peter, Peter, quickly 60
To the fields the grass to now
shows the baby how many workers
contribute to his we'll being. It can
not fail to interest child when he
knows the cow must be fed to furnish
the milk he so much likes, the butter
churned and his rolls baked from the
soft white flour the miller has ground.
This train of thought naturally leads
him on to contemplation of the great
Source of all supply, the Giver Of all
good. And as the child sings these
quaint little verses happily, with their
appreciative climax, he is learning to
express loving gratitude:
"Thanks to all are gladly said,
Baker, thank you for the bread.
Thanks dear mother shall not miss,
Given with a loving kiss"
Furthermore, if a child grows up
realizing how his life is interviewer
with those about him he will be safe
guarded against selfishness, and if he
is taught to think about work and
play in their relationship to each 9TH
err, over emphasizing either will be
prevented. Roosevelt in writing to
one of his sons, commended him for
having excelled in college athletics.

girders, mountains of debris picked
over and over and dragged about. The
inside of the theatre looked somewhat
like shell-wrecked ruin on the west

from the navy yards with acetylene
torches cut through the steel Orders
still athwart the heap Of concrete
which crushed drought at 7:15 Sat-
urday night, crushing and smashing
the audience which was looking at
"Get Rich Quick Wallingford."
Congress today was asked to make
a complete investigation of the knick
erbocker theatre disaster, the death
toll of which now stands at ia. The
resolution asking for an inquiry as to
the cause of the cave-in of the snow
laden theatre roof was introduced IN
the senate by Senator Arthur Capper
of Kansas. Harry NJ. Crandall, the
owner of the theatre and several 9TH
er movie houses in the city is bewil-
dered as to the cause Of the catastro-
phe. Reports which will be investl-
gated will be an investigation into a
rumor that the manager of the thea
ire called Crandall Saturday and sug-
gested that the snow be removed from
the roof but the architect and owner
of the building said it was Unnecessary.
Forty soldiers and marines at the
Walter Reed hospital some OF them
war veterans, volunteered to give
their blood to the critically hurt in
need of blood TRANSMISSION. During the
night several of the volunteers submit

PLAY UTILITIES OF
CARDBOARD BOXES
By Mrs. Richard X. Thomas

Nv MRS. RlcnarO n. ANoHl"o
Have you cardboard box in the
house? If you have two, all the bet
ter. a half dozen, better still, for
whether you are mother of one child
or a half-dozen, ranging from SIX
months to twelve years old, you will
never find yourself at loss when the
old toys pail, or the day is rainy.
Of course the box must have quail
fications; and a few accessories are
necessary, according to the ages OF
YOUR children. The accessories are
so simple that any household may
have them or the children may take
them.
AS early as six to twelve MONTHS
baby tires of his rattle. Give him the
lid of clean white box, or make two
Sits and tie his rattle to it. 1t will
never cease to amuse him anew. Do
not forget the qualifications, clean
and white. Then if he puts it in his
mouth it will do him no harm.
In his second year the child will en-
low whole box or several boxes,
which he can take apart. Also give
him a large lid, into which his toys
may be piled and turned out again.
The child of two or three years be-
gins to want accessories. A string at
tached to a box makes it into tine
wagon or coach. No wheels are nee
essary. Pulling and carrying are the
first activities suggesting themselves
to a child and little girl likes few
covers with the boxes, such as clean
cloths to make bed for dolly.
With the new experiences OF the
fourth and fifth years which are 60
ing to be reproduced continually, the
box gains additional value. A hall
dozen boxes joined with strings make
a train, few spools provide wheels
and a smokestack. A large box and
few small ones makes a tea table
and chairs. The painted engine and
the real tea table may have lost their
charm. The box toy is your alterna-
tive.
At the Kindergarten age pair OF
scissors, at your suggestion, and a few
paper fasteners, which you help ad-
lust, awaken new possibilities. Boxes
If less stiff and heavy cardboard are
more adaptable to the scissors. Wa
CONS with wheels that turn, or tables
and chairs with legs are result. One
big box in which to put the furniture
serves rs the doll house. The sug-
gestions that follow the idea OF
"house for dolly" will be amply forth
coming from the children themselves.

THE TRUE TEACHER
Raymond E. Manchester

Kent State Normal College, Kent, O.
Could l be a fairy and confer a gift
upon humanity l should choose the
gift of happiness. In presenting such
gift | should bestow that priceless
possession of enthusiasm for life it.
self; | should bring to the world the
inspiration needed to create new and
more abundant happiness for those
who live to advanced years; l should
keep the bottom Of life's cup free
from bitterness, and l should make
each day sufficient unto itself because
the past would record no regrets and
the future would hold out no false
promises.
He who likened life to a race be-
tween a white horse representing good
and black horse representing evil
with the victory ever uncertain, per-
haps had in mind the uncertainty OF
all human endeavor, for surely If hu-
man thought be not in vain the white
horse could be made to win. And II
such uncertainty there be, it must be
due to ignorance, for human reason
must by it's nature choose well-belng
in place of destruction and sorrow.
Further if education be what ITS
definition would indicate, he is thrice
blessed who chooses to teach, Tor
thereby he desires to reduce this 1g-
norance, the mother Of uncertainty
TO teach is to bring nearer that gift
of happiness which is well-being and
contentment and the inspiration need
ed for creation. If this be true, the
teacher is the greatest of all posses
sors because he gives of his riches
most freely. His is the JOY OF pos
sessing happiness and participating
in all the happiness he brings to 9TH
ers. Certainly no wealth could sur
pass this.
With all this in mind a teacher
should be thankful that he is prlvl-
legged to devote his energies to the
better adaptation and use of knowl-
edge in human affairs. His good for
tune brings him into an aristocracy
safe from all revolution and free from
all snobbery. 1t is an aristocracy not
open to those who would buy or seek
position through special favor. He has
the pleasure that comes from connec-
ton with constructive effort.
No true teacher can maintain a
trivial attitude toward life. This tact
in itself makes teaching worthy vo-
cation. 1t provides for the teacher an
idealism that sustains not only him
but through him sustains society as
we'll. A teachers close connection
with ever-confident and ever-optlmls-
tic youth, through contact with the
ambitions of those with achievements
still ahead of them, promotes dis
eliminating appreciation for the fine
things of life. The consuming jealous
les that drag some to the depths pass
him by for his is the task OF giving
to others the guiding inspiration that
carries them to success. His reward
is the success of those he inspires, and
his compensation is the inspiration
that comes with such reward.
No teacher can know the extent OF
his influence. His students take from
him the treasures he gives and ir
time pass on to others what they
have learned. Like the sower, his
seed falls on good and bad soil alike
But ignorant of what the harvest may

According to the report of the
number of deer killed last fall in
the counties which had open
season, 1905 bucks were report
ed killed by hunters during the
opening ten days Of November.
Villas county failed to furnish
any figures but it is safe to say
that the above figures can be in
creased all of 500 in bucks slain
by hunters.
Lucky deer hunters have nearly
all been heard from-they slaugh-
tered 1905 bucks, according to
their reports TO the conservation
commission. Only 1900 of $4,000
license purchasers returned their
postal cards, showing that it is
easier to confde good than bad
fortune.
The hunter who didn't see any
deer, and doesn't believe there are
1905 in the whole state goes home
and says nothing. The fortunate
ones found Bayfield, the best
county. The total kill in the state
amounts up to about Is carloads.
The reports for open counties fol-
low.
