GROWTH rs
| FROM WITHIN

TEED a child when he is not
hungry and you clog his
- system with impurities
which only extra energy can dis
lodge.
Undertake to force into the
mind Of a child a lesson for which
he is not yet ready and his dis
interest or resentment will make
the instruction worse than USE
elss.
Attempt to compel a child to
make a moral decision before
the impelling forces awakens
from within and he will be in
clined to take a stubborn and
permanent stand against that
point of view.
Nature must and will have her
way. Enforcement Of the issue
In dealing with a child, before
the impulse is aroused with its
necessary desire and self-compel.
ling action and you but go
through a form at best.
Wait. Be patient. The mill
will not grind till the motive
power is turned on. At six a
child may hang back stubbornly
while at eight he may reach for
ward eagerly for the same sub
ject matter.
Only a year ago the parents of
a twelve-year-oId girl came with
an urgent plea that their care.free
daughter showed absolutely no
concern about herself. "Wait for
nature to speak," I insisted. "Is
is not yours to command but to
obey, after the inner voice has
been heard" urged.
Surely enough, there has como
a change. Today another message
came from the parents. this time
indicating both pride and pleasure.
The girl has come to her senses
and actually desires to do the
right thing by herself and her fam
lily. That wonderful romance,
with it's drama and it's vision for
the future. has entered the happy
young heart and made the world
seem all new to the thirteen-year-
year-old; that is the whole story.
More than half of what we to-
day try vainly to teach our chill
dren in the home and at school is
most difficult to handle simply
because of its being introduced too
early. The course Of training has
slowly got aheal of growth The
school age is in advance of the
psychic age from one to three
years.
Give the children about one year
to grow within while you try to
force nothing new upon them and
nature will be ready to respond
with eagerness. Let us stop fore-
ing in respect tC all educational
matters.

CLEANING THE
SILVER
by Hannah Wing

. +
A Recognized Authority on An
Matters Pertaining to House
hold Management.
"o polish or not to polish, to
boil or not to boil, is q puz-
King question for the wom-
an who wants 10 keep her table
silver in good condition but
doesn't wish to run the risk of
running 1t.
II silver is perfectly washed
and wiped and cared for it win
require much less frequent pol
:slling. Tarnisl on silver is re.
suit Of a chemical process of one
sort or another. Eggs tarnish
silver very quickly, because eggs
contain considerable amount OF
sulphur.
For this reason silver should be
carefully and thoroughly washed
as quickly as possible after it is
used. II it Is not possible to
wash it at once, plunge the silver
into water. A deep pitcher or
bowl will do very we'll
Silver should be washed in
clean. hot, soapy water and
rinsed in very hot water. and
while still hot wiped very dry
with a clean, soft but lintless
towel. The good work Of sorting
and separating before washing
can be completely undone If the
silver is thrown together to drain
or after it is wiped. The best
plan is to drain it on a soft towel
and place it in soft flannel cases
when it is put away.
Incidently the woman who
makes her own cases for silver
should take a hint from the jewel
ers who always use red, grey or
blue canton flannel for the very
reason that the substance that
bleached the cotton may tarnish
the silver.
AS for cleaning and polishing it
has been found that by boiling
the silver in an aluminium kettle
with one teaspoon each Of salt
and baking soda to each quart of
water a chemical action can be
made to do the hardest part of
the work with less injury to the
silver. The process is certainly
much easier.
However, there are certain
things to keep in mind even in so
simple a process as this.
If your silver has "filled" hol-
low handles don't boil it. as the
filling may dissolve and ooze out
in the process. If the handles
of your knives are glued to the
blades, don't boil them.
Always wash silver thoroughly
in hot, soapy water after it has
been cleaned. The silver will
then have a very bright finish.
To burnish it, rub vigorously
with a soft, cotton flannel cloth
and with any mild polishing paste
If desired. The paste must of
course be carefully removed by
washing after the process is re-.
peated and a final wiping given
the silver with clean, dry towel.

["N HE If1OU16Is 1t was
W merely our task TO
educate our children,
but we find that they are edu.
eating US" said an intelligent
father, as he tried to explain the
four varieties represented in his
four. Every one Is q problem
equal to that Of your business in
making a living he continued.
"But the more you work at these
human problems the more you
see in life. Il now believe that
If a family has as many as three
children. and if the parents will
the entire group may be made to
contribute to sort Of family
forum on learning
Life does not stay fixed. Hap
piness is not an affair which
naturally stays with one after he
gets it. He must continue to be
worthy Of it to renake it
through his deeds. The. joy Of
rearing ones own children is
never an affair of unmixed pleas
ure.
However, take the idea that
you must learn from your chill
dren as well as to teach them.
Follow this to its conclusions.
Take up the case Of each as an
individual affair. Expect to derive
different information from each
child. Expect to develop diff
ferent technique Of training from
each. Expect to make a good

understand every case. Expect
to correct your errors as fast as
you find the better way. Ac-
knowledge frankly to your child
that you are human, like other
people, and that you are earn
estly attempting to improve.
So. in due time, you and your
child will enter, a sort of part
nership school, both Of learning
and teaching, and you will both
become intensely interested. The
one way of perennial joy in hfe'
and especially in the advancing
years, will now gradually open
it's gates to you.
It is the joy of wrestling cour-
ageously with human problems,
the joy of seeing a young floun-
dering life slowly seek and find
for itself a higher and better
way, the joy of seeing difficult
and distressing problems Of
training transformed into entic-
ing ways of guidance and de-
velopment.
The way to start on this In

with your children and of learn
ing from each one. Dear Parent,
is to begin. Start now with the
knowledge that you have, use
the means at hand. expect mea-
ger results at first and increasing
ones as reward for persistence,
and go on to the delightful task.
Pressure of work or business
is never an excuse for negIecting
your child, 1t is rather an indi-
cation that you will fail In time
