social life of the children, the demand
! Is the greater on the outside group
and the interest of the children fs
shifted away from the school to that
group.
The best thing to do would seem TO
he something like this: Understand
| that the children must have an op-
portunity for social life among them
selves. Provide for 1t by giving them
first q good playground and well
equipped gymnasium. II there are a
kitchen and facilities for serving food
all the better. Allow the clubs to
have their weekly publications. here
Organizing them and running them
off will take up a lot Of the yelling
energy and direct 1t properly.
Allow for an hour of free time in
which the children can do as they
like without interference. Arrange
the home schedule so that the child
in the house can bring the gang home
and find a ready welcome. Keep a
shelf supplied with things like crack
ers and cheese, brown bread, peanut
butter, hard boiled eggs, olives,
fudge-goodies for children. Open the
piano or phonograph. Make room for
the social side.
Then have a quiet room for study.
If there has been sufficient outlet for
the rest of the activity. there will be
pleasure here. But you can't keep a
lonesome child in the house and get
anywhere with him.
tMr. Pstri will give personal attention TO
inquiries from parents or school teachers on
the care and development of children. Writ

Fifty-Sixth Day.

$40 PAULO. Brazil, March o.
Sac Paulo Is worth visiting for no
other reason than the ride. The rail
way that climbs up from Santos is
considered to be one of the world s
great mechanical achievements and
ranks with such feats of engineering
as the Brooklyn Bridge. 1t cost more
per mile to construct than any road
anywhere.
Up Cubatao Hill we go through a
tropical paradise. along the sides of
steep inclineS of picturesque beauty
until we have assembled more than
$500 feet in the short distance of
seven miles and plunged into a cloud
bank-like a fog of smelless smoke
that made my friend "Hoot Mon" feel
homesick for honny Scotland.
Five inclined planes with grade
of per cent, each little over a mile
long. serve for the rapid ascent of
the cable railway. At the top of
each incline. is 1,000-horsepoWe Wer
stationary engine to run the cables
which are capable of carrying six
freight or three passenger cars at d
time. Although the road is double
tracked. only three rails arc used, the
middle rail serving for both ascending
and descending cars.
In spite of the enormous expense
involved in the construction of this
road, ii has been one of the best pay
ing railroad properties, yielding divi-
dends as great as so per cent.
The company made so many trillion
reiS that IL was at "A loss TO know how
to spend them. Everything that
money could buy has been obtained
for the improvement of the road.
Even the mountain streams. that
tumble down from the Alto da Sierra
in artistic profusion, have been pro
vided with inlaid stone bottoms. while

Staying Home.

MY son wants to be out all the
time. The minute he gets home from
school he wants to be off again. I
have the hardest time keeping him in.
Even at night he wants to go across
the street or down the block SO he can
study his lessons with some other boy.
How can l keep him homer"
! 1t is most natural and wise TO want
to keep the children at home. One
can see and hear and understand
| what is going on better when it goes
on directly under ones eyes. The
| children go to school the greater part
of the day and if they have any spe-
cial lessons in the afternoon there is
little time left for home. The parents
are scarcely acquainted with their
| children under such conditions.
But when that is true it is also true
that the child has little time to be
come acquainted with himself. While
he Is in the house he has to do what
the family wishes and when he is in
| school he must do what the school re-
qIires. Then there are the home les
| sons. How and when is the youngster
going to get the chance to discover
himself?
There is something within him urg-
| ing him to strike out for himself, eX-
| plore d bit, play a good deal. And
there is an instinct, most powerful,
pushing him to find others of his own
kind and herd with them. This as
Sociation with other young people of
the same age and interests is one of
| the most important phases of a
child's life and of his education. He
/ gets more from the group than he
gets from his elders always. This 60
| ing out is a very serious consideration
| to the child and his family.
| 1t means first that the group he
| goes with must be wholesome. happy
and intelligent. The neighborhood,
| then is big force in the education of
! a child. 1t demands careful selection.
| The school and its attitude toward its
I problems is another powerful factor
. here. If there is no time for real
/ play, no time for the exercise of the

There is nothing very exhilarating

that great care and watchfulness are
needed, and no risks Of any character
should be taken. A conscientious COM
pliance with your customary duties
and obligations is about all that should
be attempted, and there is a tendency
Ito accident and the probability of a
great disappointment. No agreements
involving financial responsibilities
should be executed. and much delibera-
tion should, If untoward results are to
be avoided, be given to both speech
and action.
All the signs denote a long life. and
a happy one. for the child born tomor-

which will not detract in any way
from its charm. 1t will be at once

IT tomorrow Is your birthday, you

you of hiding your light under a

of others to sound your praises. You
may be self-made, but if so, you never
fail to worship your creator. This is
most unfortunate, as this habit makes
you, at times, obnoxious to others,
whereas, If you were IA little less blat-
ant and a trifle more modest, you
would always he welcome.
| You are very industrious, and your
| judgment rarely errS. You make every
| effort to be kind to and considerate of
others, but are always disposed to talk
so much about these acts of good i'm

SPRINCTIME
BY ID. c. PEATTIE.
The Locusts.

There are not many trees of the
United States that have found favor
among the gardens of Europe, on ac-
count of climatic differences, but the
common black locust. now in bloom
all over Washington, is "A striking eX-
ception. The French refer to 1t as
'our common locust" exactly as if
it were native there, such a favorite
in the streets of Paris and other con
tinental cities has the American tree
become.
Some of the earth's most beautiful
plants are tender and finicky, but not
so the good old locust, that will grow
in any soil except muck and thrives
in a wide variety of climates. Here
in Washington the locust is so com
mon that we may not regard it as
highly as it deserves. For straight
and noble stature 1t is hard to sur
pass. Its foliage Is light and gay, and
it's long, dropping, heavy spikes of
odorous white flowers, alive with nee
tar-SeekinS bees, endcar it to every
tree lover.
The locust has been much planted
around Washington; in fact, its cult
walton goes back to the time of our
colonial ancestors, who admired it be
yond any tree they found in the for
ests of the New World. and sent it
early back TO the mother country. But
it grows wild with us, too, towering
above other trees on dry Virginia hill
sides and among Maryland meadows.
For your garden nothing can excel
a few locust trees, especially planted
in row, along a fence or wall. But
be sure that you put the trees where,
! later, you are going to want them. For
when a locust is cut down ii takes its
revenge by sending up suckers from
| the roots all over the lawn. Every
sucker you cut back will send up a
hundred in its place. The roots too
will speed up growth and force their
way through joints of pipes and
drains
