FIND 1.-THE, HERO
IN CHILD
BY w. A. McKeeverJ

A SSUME that your child has
~ something heroic or some
thing dramatic within him
and proceed to find this decisive
quality II It requires a year to do
30.
Reverse your habit Of trying to
put something into your child by
training and education and try to
get something out Of him. The
method will prove magical. Educa.
ton means drawing out. It must
not be forgotten that the more
significant traits Of character are
racial. They are latent within all
but vary In degree and combina ton.
The dramatic is not merely a deep
human disposition to be found In all
normal children, II is also q great
human need in relation to develop
ment.
Men are always better than their
ordinary daily conduct indicates.
In this respect they are like Ice
bergs. BY far the largest part Of
them In hidden beneath the surface.
I have learned long ago and much
" my huNhntd8c tilht DcnShih tui5
manifestation Of daily behavior II a
Of moral response and of higher
aspiration, and have tried to learn
how to tap this treasury.
Much more, we must look for
the hidden resources in children and
see to II that these inconspicuous
virtues find an occasional outlet.
In as simple q matter as climbing
a tree, scaling q wall, leaping over
a ravine, or running a common
errand, your child may exercise the
heroic in his nature. The essential
element il the dashing, forward
thrusting effort, and yourself or
someone else to show the proper
appreciation.
Again the heroic in children may
be shown in the exercise OF oelf-
denial. In our haste we are wont
to compel our boy to stay at home
while others are going out, or our
girls to do without some cherished
possession. But this method Of ex-
crcising our will over a weaker one
Ia going at the matter backward.
We need here to arouse the heroic,
to induce the child to throw his
own will against his own desire
and, conQuering self, TO reel the
dramatic impulses at work within
his being.
Finally there In q dramatic meth
Cd whereby young person may
learn to overcome the disappoint-
ments and the sorrows Of life. BY
degrees the heroic within may be
called into action.
Aroused emotionaily, the young
dramatic performer in the midst of
LIES severe ordeal will learn to af'
firm his larger and stronger self
None of this trial can conquer me-
II am fixed az the Northern star.
Thus to the awakening young
dramatist all the world becomes in
deed a stage and all the men and
women in It veritaSle performers
while ne himself plays a glorious
tragic part.

1T seems that I am going all day

nothing to be done. In fact, most
times do not dare to look around.
Am I undertaking too much?
We get up between and $50 and
go to bed most anytime in the eve

Can you give me any suggestions so

You have read about merchandise sales and
bargains until your faith in them has been
shattered but your idea and our idea OF sale
and bargain are just the same. Undoubtedly
there are no two words so greatly abused in
merchandise circles as these.
Carriers Inc, has never put on sale nor called
thing a BARGAIN unless it represented an
unusual saving.
IF 1T WERE NECESSARY TO DECEIVE
YOU TO GET YOUR PATRONAGE WE
WOULD RATHER CLOSE OUR DOORS.
The usual way in announcing a SALE IS to
give it some DECOY NAME and then try
to Justify it by some make-shift excuse, but III
most cases the same motive exists. We have
no particular name for this sale, but we have
a reasonable reason. We have too much mer-
chandse. WE NEED THE ROOM and can
USE THE MONEY.
Business has been good with us but when
merchant becomes Sontented he also becomes
stagnant Therefore we have resolved to make
this banner year by cutting our profits, prac-
tice iudicious economy and stimulate buying.
Honesty of purpose truthful advertising and
meritorous merchandise are the rocks upon
which our successful business has been built.
We have made careful preparations for this
sale as we believe in doing BIG THINGS IN
a BIG WAY, and the GENUINE 100 PER
CENT BARGAINS as offered in this ad
REALLY exist AT OUR STORE. These are
but small portion of what we have as every
article in our entire stock has been dragged
to the BARGAIN BLOCK. SALE YOU

Speculation as 20 what the radio
will bring twenty. FIVE or fifty years
hence stsggers even vivid imsgln-
alton. One of it's possibilities is it
will bring the various peoples of the
earth so closely together in speech
and thought that they eventually
speak a common language. The
passion for understanding which
must follow universal use of the
radio is very likely to demand a
universal language In which under
standing can be conveyed. A gen.
ius arising for example In distant
China, overtopplng the world with
his science or his philosophy or his
humor, would pour his message into
the RADIO and the air would fling in
to the ears of the world an incom
prehensible babble. Then will come
the impulse 10 learn, or at least
have the: children learn, other ton
guess so these messages may be cap
tured. There have been attempts
beforeto impose a universal language
on civilization, but they failed be-
cause for the mass Of mankind there
was no apparent reason for adopt
ing it. The home tongue filled
their needs. But now tor these
masses, equally with the students,
space is dissolved. The tongue Of
India speaks from the receiver as
glibly and clearly as the voice of the
guest across the room. Language
belongs to the people, who control

Their desire may do what academies
have failed to achieve, because in
vention has supplied the impulse In
form which stirs the Imagination
and so breeds the desire for under
standing. Radio receiving and send

may reflect on the marvellous age in
which they are privileged to live,
and may enhance this reflection with
the certainty that Its possibilities
and adaptations are only beginning
to appear. The future contains
things the Inauguration now can
only grope after In the conviction
that wonders are to be unfolded

A single headline IN the daily pa
per tells nothing beyond the context
of the article 1t heads. But a dozen
of them may tell quite another story
For instance consider this collection
made from four papers within two

Conflicting WithRevealed Religion;
Clergy Declare Divorced America

having toes heavily stepped upon
1t would seem on merely casual ana
lysis that the church which started
with a Carpenter and some fishermen

ed to live through the destruction of
Rome, the evils of the Dark Ages,
the debauchery and crime of few
hundred years ago on the continent,
the world war and the spirit of un

probably continue to exist whether
the movies make fun of pastors or
not, whether higher critics criticize

various denominations are unified or

get divorces or not, whether the Bib

not and whether we have flppers

thing wrong with the church probs-
