When q Child Learns to Think Riqht

mother said to you when you
brought home that good report.
And keep right on thinking about
that pleasant thing until you fall
asleep. Then nothing else can
come into your mind.
Throughout the year, that lead
er showed those boys how they
could think right; how they
could debar destructive thoughts
from their minds.
He also proved to them, by nu-
merous instances, that thinking
the same thing over and over
again will eventually result in
doing. And they found out for
themselves that the things they
do are the actual result Of the
things they think.
Thoughts are forces. Good
thoughts build up, bad thoughts
tear down. Then why not set
the proper forces working for
your child while he is little, 80
that he will not have so much to
undo when he is grown. It is
easier for him, during adolescence
and infinitely easier for him to
succeed in the end.

An Amazing Story Of An Innocent
Girl Who Leaves Home to Seek

Kelvin had slumped into

Joslyn crossed the drive to the
parapet overlooking the broad,
sluggish Hudson. In a jutting
embrasure she found a Swallowed
refuge, a broad wall to rest
against and the far-away lights
of Jersey to stretch her eyesight.
