HALF A MIND
By Helen Gregg Green

A little school marin was telling
about speaking to the mother Of a pu-
pill about her sons poor work in
school.
WELL" sighed the mother, Il real
ly don't know what to do. I've told
Ronald he'll have to stay away from
the movies this week and study, and
I've half a mind to stick to it."
Half a mind! Therein lies the trou-
BILE with many mothers.
When you're a half-a-mind mother,
your children soon find it out and
when they discover the fact, how your
discipline will suffer!
1 recently overheard several boys
talking.
Come on, let's go in swimming" I"
James coaxed.
Eddie grinned but shook his head.
Cant. Sorry! But Nom said, Not to-
day"
Jaw shucks, Eddie, come on! Your
mother'l forget what she said. Mine
usually does. Half the time she doesn't
mean it."
"No my mother won't" Eddie ans
wered firmly. "She doesn't lay down
the law very often, but believe me Bo'
when she does, she means it"
"Oh well, I'm going. My mother told
me not to. Said she would spank me
if l did, but she won't. At least" hesi-
tatingly, Il don't think she will. Some
times she means what she says, and
sometimes she doesn't" And off James
shambled.
What contrast between the mothers
of these two boys, and how much bet
ter the effect of firmness!
1 don't believe in nagging children;
and l don't believe in giving frefunc-
tory orders and rebukes every few
minutes. But most firmly do believe
in meaning what you say, and having
good mind of your own.
Occasionally you will change your
mind about something. In that case it
is wise to explain to your boy or girl
just why you did so.
Your children will respect you more,
and you will be a more successful
parent if you are not the vacillating,
half-a-mind type. And the matter OF
discipline will be much easier and
pleasanter, and everybody will be hap
pier.
Neglect of the child brings to us
an endless file of unemployables, de-
fectives and criminals says Grace E.
Bliss, Woman's Legislative Council of
Seattle.
100000 of our children are being
neglected through our failure to pro-
vide kindergarten education for them.
If there is no kindergarten in your
public school, write to the National
kindergarten Association, 8 West 4Oth
Street. New York.

OH YOU JANE JANET!
Cedar Neck No. 1.
Milford Del. 1923.

MllIOrQy O6l., O-O- 90
Say, Jane Janet:-
One missed a good time, February
21st, if one wasn't at Cedar Neck P. I,
A. meeting. Everyone enjoyed our pro
gram, which consisted of:
Lowell's, "The First Snowfall" by
Vernon Kintz; "The Slumber Boat, ."
sung by Mary Watkins and Doris
Mills, with their dolls; and the rapid
number drill by all the pupils.
The response of the children and
their eagerness to show what they
could do, made one man think the tea
cher was giving out candy, instead of
number cards. Michael Gladly holds
best sixth grade record so far-45
combinations in 35 seconds. Mary Wat
kins, fourth grade, did 20 of multiple
cation tables in thirty seconds.
To end our program and give every
one a good laugh, Mrs. Watson read
In the Morning" by Paul Lawrence
Dunbar.
The business meeting was the most
important part as School Legislation
was discussed. Letters from Mr. Nc
Knight and Mrs. Cleaver were read as
well as the changes in the law and
newspaper articles sent by Miss Bar
ger.
Mrs. Watson told some of the points
of interest in DR.. Holloway's talk to
the Sussex County Teachers at
Georgetown.
1t was unnecessary to dwell long on
the condition of roads and schools and
money spent in this part for the for
mer Everyone knows the need for
new building and that more money
and effort has been spent on it by the
State Department the past two years
than in many years before.
The vote was unanimous and a COM
mittee composed of Wallace Watkins
and Elwood Mills, to notify those in
authority of our action and feeling in
the matter.
The enthusiastic members closed
their meeting with electing Mr.. Wal
lace Watkins vice-president and Mrs.
U. G. Kintz, secretary, to fill those va
cancies and discussing plans for a
social in the near future.
In school we've been mighty busy
taking tests. Mrs. Watson says she is
happy to know that the goal for
which she has been working, Each
CQllu Ill O6udT N6Ch SIduudIu VI
above is nearly reached as far as is
possible.
The terrible conditions of roads and
illness has lost us our good record in
attendance, but we are starting this
month anew.
Vernon Kintz, George Reed, Leroy
Reed, Elwood Williams, Massey Will
liams and Michael Gladly had good
while Jay Watson and William Pot
ter had perfect attendance.
Dorothy Bowers has entered our
school. Her family has recently moved
here from Philadelphia, having bought
farm in our neighborhood.
How we have enjoyed our sand ta-
bles Of Lincoln's early home and the
! information sent us about Delaware
from the State Dept. of Agriculture.
I must take trip through the Pan
anna Canal for my Geography lesson.
Wouldn't you like to go with us? We
have some wonderful times as we
have many wonderful pictures and ar
ticles in the National Geographic mag
azines in our library.

meet this emergency a company mas
bean incorporated, so we are INFORM
ed which will perform this partlcu-
lar mart of the opening of ferry De-
tween I,eWes. Del, and Cape May, New
Jersey ,,. WI
For some time there has been ru-
NOR circulating that interested par
ties were at Lewes creating quiet op"
nosition to the project. We have re-
ceived letter from one OF the partles
calling attention to this and making a
statement, that will be of interest to
ali concerned. The letter follows: -,
In the Chronicle of February "a
learn that your correspondent
from Lewes makes the statement
that myself and Mr.. Thomas have
heen irving to discourage the build
ing of the Cape May-Lewes ferry
This is an error and creates an I'M
nression that is not true. We have
been doing everything in our pow
or to promote the building OF the
ferry and further-we have peo'
nile as far north as Trenton, New
Jersey, interested in the PROPOSE
tion: but, I have almost come tC
the conclusion there are many peo'
nile in Sussex county who are do
ing the discouraging.
There has never been an appro'
priation made by the State OF New
Jersey--and I was told personally
by the Highway Commission oi
New Jersey at Trenton, that they
could not and would not build the
ferry-as it was unconstitutiona
for them to operate outside the linn
it's of their State.
We have incorporated company
and are going to build and operate
the ferry-and also a freight line
from Lewes to Philadelphia, which
will enable the farmers of Sussex
county to ship their products tt
philadelphia at much lower cost
and get higher prices than they
now receive.
Yours very truly,
