Home Training and Child Develop.
n1ent

In primitive life and in the early
races Of mankind the home has al
v avs played an important part in the
education of youth. In modern times
the home has shifted its responsible
ity in d large degree upon the school.
The function Of tho school is definite
in the teaching of certain fundament
a. subjects. but the school can never
supply the training that the home
SHOULD give the child.
Education as 4 whole is really the
directing of observation.
In the early training Of child I
would consider three important
points: obedience. responsibility. and
faith. a child Very early in life should
be taught to respond Immediately to
the desires of his parents This is
brought about by having enc child do
what we ask him TO do and do it at
once. 1t means the elimination Of
many meaningless 'donts". a child
who has been trained to be obedient
tirds later III life that when he has
things to do with. no one to order him
81 found. he does them very much cas-
ier and quicker than the child who
has been allowed to follow always the
line of least resistance.
The training of responsibility is a
Gt finite function of the home. Even
the young child should have definite
things to do, and be taught that those
things are his. as little chores. There
has been a great tendency all through
the history Of mankind to shift re-
sponsibility on some one else. This
tendency can be corrected only in the
early development of the child in his
home relations. If a child who has
reached his teen age shows 10 sense
Of responsibility. we find it exceeding
~ hard to instill any such ideas in
his mind or to make them a part Of
his training.
We have in the development of
faith another function that must be
largely brought out in the howe life.
This means strict living on the part
OF the father and mother. 1t is indeed
an unfortunate child who grows up
lacking in faith and confidence in his
own parents. The father and the
mother should always take the at
titude of advisers, not dictators. Their
relations with the children should be
such that the daughter should be he
ready and willing at all times to re-
veal all things to her mother. The
son should feel free to talk over with
his father any problem that may have
come into his life. No parents need
feel that because they have not all

Broken Diamonds

Much attention has been given to
the question Of the origin of the
numerous broken ragments Of dia
monds found in the Kimberly mines.
one hypothesis is that these frag-
ElCntS owe their condition to violent
oruptive outbursts that shattered the
rocks in which they occur. Another
common belief is that certain class
cs Of diamonds frequently break
spontaneously. One authority states
that light brown. smoky diamonds
often crack on exposure to the dry
air, but they will remain intact if
kept in moist place. In accord
ance with this notion there is a
popular story Of South African dia-
monds being sent to England inside
potatoes.
Another authority seems to attrib-
ute the fractures to the sudden low
oring of pressure in the space sur
rounding diamonds and speaks of
consequent explosions. He states
that he has met persons who have
heard of the bursting of smoky dia-
monds. but none who ever witnessed
this phenomenon with his own eyes.
This idea of the bursting Of dia-
monds is of Sreat antiquity. Albertus
Magnus says, that diamond i'm
mersed in the fresh, warm blood of
a goat will burst, especially if that
a..imal had previously browsed on
parsley or drunk wine. Pliny vouch-
safes similar notion.
The majority of modern authori-
ties believe that, in most cases, the
breaking of diamonds has been due
TO the energy eXerted By the mineral
inclusions which they so often con-
tain. These are most frequently
garnet. but sometimes zircon.
ilmenite. iron pyrites. and possibly
chrysolite. The thermal expansion
of nearly all crystals, except those of
the beryl family. at ordinary tenn
peratures is much greater than that
of the diamond. II the same is true
under intense conditions of heat and
temperature, differences in the rate
OF expansion and contraction Of the
diamond and its inclusion would ac-
count for the ashing-

On the other hand. the Bricklayers'

clal meeting Tuesday evening for the
purpose OF considering the situation.
All but three of the members were
present and Of these three members
Two are retired and the other was not
able to attend.
Ihree questions were voted on by
the members of the union, all three re-
celVing an absolutely unanimous vote.
Inc union nrst voted to withdraw its
representatives from the Building
trades Council. thus severing the af-
nilatlon which has existed between the
masons and &he hod carriers through
this council.
A vote was then passed that the
union would back the mason contrac-
union tenders as they see fit. Another
vote was tatken that the masons would
work with these non-union tenders and
that they would back the contractors
In their hiring Of these men.

meeting on invitation from the union
Mr.. HoAie stated last night that he
would pay the Sc wages until a settle
ment was made between the two unions
or until complete disagreement was
reached. Then he would fall in line
with the other contractors. Two other
local contractors are also understood
to be carrying out the same plan, these
being Henry Nichols and Henry Han
son.
On Wednesday there were no mason
tenders on the job as far as could be
ascertained, whereas there are usually
about 40 employed in the city. The

keep their work along slowly and Will
