nothing to do but to pile 1t up in

knew that none Of their enemies

of the roots of the tree at the foot
Of which they had dug 1T. So they
felt quite safe.
1t was several days after he had

before Farmer Browns Boy again

The Punishment Corner.

Some time ago 1 said that felt bad
when folks stood children in the cor
ner for punishment. and told how
Burne-Jones painted the punishment
corner in the nursery III his home un-
ill it was a place that sang of beauty
a place that would uplift the soul of
A. child. l said, too, that if child
had to be placed in the punishment
corner. it ought to be Burne-Jones
sort of corner, bringing messages of
beauty to the little sinner forced to
regard it.
An anxious mother and some con-
scientious teachers wrote TO me say
ing, "No. no. Punishment must Be
mean it,.
Mean what? What is the message
you are conveying to the mind of
the little child who has transgressed? /?
Surely not revenge? Nothing of ven
geance is in your soul when you dis
cipline a little child?
What you are trying to do is to
change the point of view of that little
one. To make him see that the thing
he did was not lovely. his action was
not kind, his thought had not been
the fine one 1T might have been. You
do not want to hurt him. You want
to help him.
Then let me share with you some
thing 1 discovered long ago as I
worked my way through years Of
teaching children: They do not grow
when they are hurt by punishment.
They are stunted by 1t. There must
shine through the soul of the teacher
the great love she has for childood.
q love so unbiased by any personal
motive, so clear in it's directness that
it lights up the child's soul, and it
sees what the teacher sees and feels
as she feels, sorry and loving and
hopeful withal.
Then why should not that corner
to which you send him for prayer
and meditation have something in it
that will inspire that prayer and
meditation until the penitent soul can
drop off the old man and take on
the new? That is what you send
him there for.
When you send him to the corner
and he stands there staring into it's
blankness his mind is not blank. 1t
is trying to find a comforting place
to rest in. It Is searching for some
thing to Justify it. The body of the
child stands there passive. and YOU

We seldom see our visions when we

BY HELEN KENDALL.

I'VE are building something so new
and amusing out here at our little
country place" wrote my hostess

SO the next week END we motored
out to the little woodsy retreat our
friends had found just out of the
suburban belt and on the edge of
pretty bit of woods. Our hostess met
us at the -rock-walled entrance to
the place and led us across the spring
sWard down through the flower gar
den, now yellow with crocuses, daffo-
dis and forsythia, and around
sharp corner in the low stone wall
that ran along somewhat far back
from the house. Here there was
semi circular stretch of grass, shaded
with fruit trees and tall elm or two,
and containing three or four rough,
artistic benches, hewn from halves
of tree trunks.
On his knees before the stone wall
knelt our host, putting the finishing
touches to the new toy-their open
air fireplace.

shaking hands with us, I'VE are tre-

he probably would have squatted
down fiat right where he was.
OF course. there was nothing for
Johnny to do but to dive headfirst
down into his new home. and of
course Bowser the Hound discovered
that new home right away. By the
time Farmer Browns Boy got there
Bowser was digging frantically. But
his digging wasn't getting him any
where. All he could do was to make
the sand of Johnny's doorstep fly. He
couldn't make that hole any bigger.
The roots of young tree were in
the way. This proved how wisely
Polly Chuck had chosen the place for
that doorway
When Farmer Browns Boy came up
and saw what Bowser was doing he
called him away. Bowser didn't want
to come. No. sir: Bowser didn't want
to come. But long ago Bowser learned
TO mind. and so at the sharp COM
mand of his master he stopped dig
sing. Farmer Browns Boy smiled
SO this is where those Chucks are"'
said he. Now, Bowser. you are to
leave them alone. Understand. YOU
are to leave them alone" Farmer
Browns Boy spoke sternly He
stopped over and with his hands
swept back some of the sand that
Bowser had dug away. Then he told
Bowser to follow at his heels, and
went on his way to the Green Mea-
dows.

SouRcE-A given name, also a locality
One probable explanation of the
family name of Marsh is that the
original bearers lived either near a
'marshy piece of ground or else on the
boundary of some province or COM
munity. The names Mark and Marks
can be traced only to one of these
possible sources, the latter: for while
the word 'marche" might Just as
well be mark" and might easily be
changed also into marsh the word
marsh" would never be likely to de-
velop into mark" at any period in
or the German tongues.
The far1lly names of Marks and
Mark are also traceable III u very
large proportion of instances to the
gwen name Of Ma k, originally in,li-
cating that the bearer was Marks s
SON." The same is true for Marco
and Marko. There is no question
about M3rcosson.
The "ch" in the word "nlarche,"
meaning boundary or frontier. was
originally pronounced like a "k," and
