LEARNING FOR OURSELVES

NANCY, when she has tried to teach
~ me something or to persuade me
to do something and has not succeeded
as we'll as she had hoped, is wont to
say that "You can't teach an adult
man anything" By this think she
means that there are some things one
must learn for himself, make his own
mistakes, knock his head against the
wall, and learn by doing. Many young
people must so learn, am convinced.
Corliss must. He has never had any
faith in the doctrines which his par
ents have preached to him. They are
old-fashioned and behind the times,
and cannot possibly understand how
young people of today feel.
When he went to college he could
not see the wisdom of many of the
college rules, he was not pleased with
the curriculum laid down. Much of
it seemed arbitrary, annoying and use
less to him, so he neglected what he
did not like, and in the minimum time
was fred from college, had to go to
work which he liked even less than the
things he was required to do In col
lege, and found earning his own liv-
ing not so easy as he had supposed.
He's not hopeless; he just can't be
taught anything, but after he has
knocked about for year or so, he'll
learn for himself, and will come back
and take whatever curriculum those
wiser than he have prescribed.
Young people in general will have
to think out religious matters for
themselves. Here again it Is hard to
teach them. They must have expert
ence, they must do good deal of
reading, and occasionally they must
think, and ultimately they will come
to see that religion is largely mat
ter of faith. ! don't mean to say that
it isn't desirable to attempt to teach
them some fundamental things, but
should mot be discouraged If they do
not at once take to the learning.
In matters Of love, young people
must learn for themselves that love Is
not wholly a matter Of emotion, but
that it is best mingled with judgment.
1t is inconceivable to young person
that people as old and steady as his
parents were ever torn by the passion
of love, ever felt or could now feel the
ecstasy of emotion that is surging
through their breasts, or wherever the
emotion does surge. They must work
things out for themselves.
II / ever learn to play golf. it will
be when go out in the early morning
and work things out for myself with
out any wise guys around to tell me
how it's done. Nobody has yet been
able to teach me anything

BUILDING WITHOUT
FOUNDATION

GRANDFATHER was very re-
ligious man, and in general took
the Scriptures quite literally. 1 think,
however, he must have missed the
practical application of the story Of
the man who built his house upon the
sands. for when fifty years ago he
constructed the old brick house which
stands on the hill east of town, he
gave little attention to the foundation.
The walls were of solid brick, the tim
bers were of oak, but the foundation
was weak and badly laid.
When / saw the old house last sum-
mer the walls were falling in, the oak
doors were sagging, and the stills upon
which the house was built were rot
ting, all because there had been poor
foundation. The house should have
stood a hundred years as solid as the
day upon which it was built. If the
foundation had been adequate.
Peters was thirty years old or more
when he came to college. and besides
he was married and had boy of his
own. He had had good position with
the railroad, as positions go, so that l
was somewhat surprised to have him
give it up and start in as q freshman
in engineering.
"What's the idea?'' / asked.
II started out wonderfully well when
I left high school," he said. II was
advanced regularly for time, and
then l stuck. I'd gone as far as |
could. hadn't the educational foun.
dation to build higher. So determined
to start all over again and to lay a
foundation that can build on as high
as am able"
and remunerative positions on the
road. now, and the foundation he laid
will carry any structure he may build
upon it.
1t was the same way with Crosby.
He wanted to be an architect, but he
wanted more to be married, so he gave
up his college work and took to HIM
self wife-but believe 1t was the
other way round-he married the wife
and then found in order that they
might live it was necessary that he
give up college. M
He went into big Office in the city
and worked along. He had real talent.
but very inadequate foundation. He
saw that without further training he
was not going to get far, so he asked
for leave of absence, came back and
strengthened his foundation, and his
progress since then has more than JUS
titled his action.
No real success can be built without
an adequate foundation of training and
character and hard work. and this
foundation must be laid in youth.

BLOWING AWAY
MOSQUITOES

CT. PATRICK drove the snakes ont
- of Ireland. Another Patrick, a fell
low countryman, is going to blow the
mosquitoes, out of Samoa. Probably
one thousand years from now he, too.
will be regarded as saint, and with
good reason. for mosquitoes are much
more dangerous than snakes.
Malaria is one of the scourges of
the tropics. 1t is carried by mosqui-
toes. so the prevention of the disease
requires the destruction of mosqui-
toes. Millions Of dollars have been
spent in malaria-infested countries in
the last ten years in filling in and
draining stagnant pools. oiling the
surface of ponds and destroying ether
mosquito breeding places.
But these methods are slow and ex-
pensive, so an Irishman, with the
characteristic originality and shrewd-
ness of his race, has worked out q
cheap and easy way OF disposing of
these pests. He is going to take them
out to sea and drown them.
Impossible, you say? Not at all.
It's a serious Proposition, approved
by some of the leading English au-
thorities on public health.
Dr. Patrick A. Buxton of the Lon
don School of Tropical Medicine is
the inventor of the plan and he's gone
to the South Seas to try it out.
How is he going to do it? He has
found that at Samoa the trade winds
blow most of the year from one d.
rection and that the wind is strong
enough to blow away all the mos
quitoes If it were not for the dense
underbrush and thick tropical foliage
on the islands. Doctor Buxton is 60
ing to clear away the underbrush and
open up passages across the islands
so that the trade winds can blow
through them. This will blow the
mosquitoes out TO sea, dry up the
swampy land, wipe out the breeding
places and not only rid the islands of
mosquitoes but also make the land
fit for cultivation and make it pos
sible sto produce valuable crops.
Many plans have been proposed for
getting rid of mosquitoes. Only an
Irishman would think of giving a
mosquito a sea voyage and letting
Linn drown himself.

DR.. FREDERICK r. GREEN
Editor of "HEALTH"
SPEECH DEFECTS IN
CHILDREN

VOU remember the story about the
4 freshman who went to Paris.
When he returned his friends asked
him what was the most wonderful
thing he saw in that marvellous city.
He says, 'I'll tell yez, b'ys, the most
wonderful thing to me was to see
little childer not three years old
spakin' French like natives"
The ability to speak is acquired
SO early that most OF. us think of 1t
as natural. 1t is not, neither is it
inherited. 1t is learned very early in
life from older persons and conse-
quently the child learns and speaks
the language which he hears. An Amer
lean child placed at birth among
Hottentots, says Doctor Blanton of
tl.c University of Wisconsin, would
speak Hottentot and not English.
Speech is so natural to us that 1t
is hard for grown person to realize
just how hard it is for young child
to learn to talk Fortunately, it
hasn't much of anything else to do, so
1t can give it's entire attention to it.
The normal child begins to talk at
fifteen months, sometimes younger. By
the time it is. three years old. 1t should
be able to talk intelligently. Any
child who, does not talk at two years
should be given a careful examina-
ton. II by the end OF the third year.
it has not begun to talk, then there
is probably some serious nervous or
mental condition present
In some cases, children do not learn
to talk or will not talk on account
of some error or wrong idea on the
part Of the parent in rearing the
child. Whatever the cause, the child
that does not talk or that talks
brokenly or unintelligibly at three
years of age needs special examina-
ton and training.
There are three kinds of speech de-
fects which are common The first and
the simplest is the lisp. This is large
" due to bad habits. The child be-
gins to lisp by pronouncing word
Incorrectly, usually by substituting one
sound for another. as tn for s. This is
so 'icute" that parents often not only
do not correct it but even encourage
it. It may be cute in a baby, but it
isn't cute in a grown man. Sometimes
these lisps are no numerous that the
child can only be understood by few
persons. Such a child can only be
cured by patiently reteaching him to
speak correctly.
The second type is indistinct speech
or mumbling. Children with this de-
feet are sometimes of low mental
condition. sometimes children who
have been sickly in the first three
years of life. Often they are spoiled
by indulgent parents who have not
tried to correct their speech errors.
The third type of speech defect is
suffering. This is found in nervous.
high strung and sensitive children. 1t
is due to lack of proper nervous con-
troll. 1t cannot be controlled by will
power. The harder the patient tries,
the worse he shutters. 1t is not out
grown and it cannot be corrected by
punishment. About one person out OF
every twenty shutters to some extent
at some time.
