EDUCATING
THE CHILD

EENEYE have found that one
OF the most valuable
educational periods Of
the entire day IL. the last hour
before retiring" reports an in
telIigent mother Of three elemen-
tary school children. ct is then
you can make impressions that
are most lasting.
The evening hour program Of
child training here in use m
cludes: First, the aim to Inn
press the subconscious mind Of
the learner when the cares Of the
day are over. Second, an effort
to relieve the eubconscious mind
Of false and disturbing impress
siOns received during the day
Third, an effort to bring the child
to a condition of serenity as pre-
paration for a night of restful
sleep.
Let us consider the second
point first. To relieve the child's
subconsciousness of the false i'm
pressions of the day by definite
deniaIs is certainly a matter o:
interest. Suppose the child were
seriously upset by some occur
renee In the classroom. To deny
in so many words the sting and
Ill effect of the offense would
tend to relieve its effects.
Then, to affirm things pleasant
and quieting, to teach the child
himself to repeat certain sooth-
ing, comforting maxims-this
would bring the nerves and the
mind to a condition of greater
calm and would give the life pro
cesses less interference in the
performance OF their night func-
lions. The parent will easily
learn to make use Of affirmations
and denials at bedtime.
Try this important matter o.
bedtime education and you will
soon learn to get valuable re-
suits. Every child undergoes
much in the nature of anger.
teasing, fear and excitement dur
ing the average day. These ex.
periences leave their Impressions
In the nerves and tend to relate
themselves to the after conscious
ness. both immediate and re-
naota.

THE OLD FORT HOWARD ELM.

treading on historic ground. You
will notice an old elm tree in
closed within an iron railing and
IL you are gifted with an imagt
nation It win not be difficult
to visualize the scenes that have
been acted around that old
tree.
If it could only speak what tales
it could tell of the French who
came and built the early post and
named it after St. Francis of As
sisi; Of the men stationed there
who fought desperately for their
lives as the FOX Indians waged
their battles around its walls; of
the fur trappers who came from
far away with q seasons catch to
be cheated ana robbed because
the post that bore the name Of
the best man who ever lived, save
Christ, had become the center
for the graft and speculation that
finally led to the overthrow of
French sovereignty in America
1t could tell--of tho rebuilding
of the fort in 1851 by the British,
who named it Fort Edward Au-
gustus; of Pontiac's Conspiracy
two years later, which effectually
ended the British tenure.
1t could tell great tales of the
War of 1872, which ragged around
the old forts of the final occupa-
ton by the United States in 1916
with a strong garrison, when it
was again rebuilt and called Fort
Howard. And as Fort Howard
it remained a strongly garrisoned
military post until 1862. Then 1t
was dismantled and the land and
buildings sold. Standing just
north of the old elm tree was
the officers quarters which had
been occupied by several men
noted in American history, chief
of whom was Zachary Taylor,
who afterwards became President
of the United states.

The Fog
Gray, lifeless fog pressed against
the windows Of the cheap and
cherries room in which Philip
spent his first night upon his re-
turn to San Francisco. II was
not yet six In the morning, but
sleep was no longer possible for
him. He had had q restless night,
waking fitfully, pursued reient-
lessIy by horrible dreams when
snatches Of sleep came to him.
Thoughts about his little girl
harassed him. He wanted to see
her. to assure himself she vas all
right. What was life to mean to
him, il he were to lost her? In
his sleep he saw her drown
ing. her little white dress gIeam-
ing in the dark green waves;
heard her calling to him: she
was sick. her small face af1ame
with fever, and she cried piteously
for him to come &c her, but the
admonishing words Of the old
padre forbade him.
The long night left him with a
throbbing head, dry, acrid
mouth, and body that felt as II
beaten with fails. Painfully he
dressed himself and went out into,
the wet, misty street. The fog
was thick and drenching. He
turned up his coat collar to pro-
tect his neck from the occasional
drip of an awning; a falling drop,
now and then, struck the crown
of his derby hat with a tiny
plump"
BY o'clock he found himself In
the vicinity of Twenty-sixth street
and San Jose avenue. AS he was
passing a dusty, little stationery
store, the old, decrepit proprietor
was out in front, taking down the
shutters. Morning papers were
piled on a rickety table in the en-
trance-way, their damp pages
weighted down by a few small
rocks; in the window lay a dim
array Of dusty, cheap toys.

other, .'in the home lies the
strength Of the nation. Disrupt
that. and it crumbles, and with

come when a right public senti-
ment must be aroused. with a

consequences There should be a

the matter. All Christian forces
OF our land, and all patriotic
forces, too, should unite to COM
bat this evil. The clergy of all
faiths must speak out clearly; all
who love America must take this
matter in hand. We ought to
make it clear that loyalty to the
marriage tie and to the home is
required not only by the law Of
God, but by love for country, and
that whoever. by his example,

.sWeIl, I think we should lose
no time in regulating marriage
laws by Federal enactment"
spoke up Harry. ''If divorce is
q necessary evil, it should be
controlled. t present each State
determines for itself what are and
what are not good and sufficient
reasons for divorce. In South
Carolina, divorce is impossible on
any grounds; in the State of
Washington it may be granted for
any cause deemed sufficient by
the court; in Kentucky. a decree
may be obtained il it can be
shown that a husband and wife
have lived apart for five consecu-
tive years. But the States do not
recognize the legality OF one an
others laws, so that often, just
by crossing a boundary line. a
. lawful wife becomes a mans mis-
fress. while children are legiti-
mate in one State and illegitimate
IN another"
1--WE would do away with all
that" reiterated Mr.. Gould. ''by
making remarriage impossible.
We must not only meet this evil
/. by the authority Of the law. but
We must show the deep moral
issue behind the law. We must
make people see that the teaching
of Gods Word is true IN ract;
that marriagt Is not a mere con,
tract but a real, living bond.

clergyman, impressiyeIy shaking
his finger at Philip, who IL a
great ethical authority, states that
marriage is permanent in it's very

formed: so that the husband can
