WHAT HEN
TRACKS ARE

MANY a layman has watched
Wl the Morse telegraph oper-
ator down at the railroad sta
ton send a message and wondered
why he made hen tracks on the
face Of the telegram with his left
hand while he worked the key
with his right hand.
While the rotations made by
the left hand may seem to be
hen tracks to the layman, to
the operator they are something
very real and very vital. The
Western Union rules require an
operator when sending a message
to write on the face of it the
consecutive number to, and the
cali of, the distant office, the
personal wire signs of both the
sending and receiving operators.
and the time sent.
For example the hen tracks
may read: A 23C MA I1A 815A.
Is sent over the A circuit to
Gates that 1t is the 23rd message
sent over that circuit since the
previous midnight. The MA is
the personal wire sign OF the
sending operator while the HA 10
the personal wire sign of the re-
ceiving operator. The rest of the
hen tracks indicates that the mes
sage was sent at S:15 A. M.
This rule requires the Morse OPP
orator to be ambidextrous. II he
cannot write with his left hand
when he gets his job, he learns
very soon. Now. however, it is
the growing custom between all
large cities to send and receive
messages by automatic machinery
which can handle as many as
eight kilograms at the same time
over the same wire.

second and even more important
step is to learn how to use his
brain correctly-to think straight
If the first exercises and develops

ond will exercise and develop his
control Of his mind, his charac-
ter-and all this depended largely
on the training he received dur
ing the first six or eight years of
his life-the training he received
at home.
1t took me several years to
learn thes things. Meanwhile, I
answered questions necessarily,
gave the bare facts, only to find
that the child was not thinking
about them. 1t was like pouring
in knowledge with a funnel, yet
for all the good 1t did, the young
sters might as we'll have been set
to memoriZing the dictionary. Un-
less they could be made to think
about their facts, to reason about
them in their relation to other
facts, to draw conclusions from
them, was wasting my time.
Something was wrong with my
system. that was clear. How
was to make my children think
about their facts, and think about
them correctly. Finally I stun
bled on a solution.
Briefly, I make it a point never
to answer any of my children's
questions without linking up each
answer with the answer to some
other question, previously asked.

exactly what Sarcasm does. 1t IS
the most vicious and contemplate
form of abuse to which an adult

more vicious than corporal pun

Teacher doesn't mean to be a
Monster. Her sarcasm Is usually
the fruit Of overstrained nerves
and shattered patience. Mo-
mentarily she hates. loaths, de-
spises and detests the little
savages in her charge-and she
conveys it all with a venomous
side swipe of her weary tongue.
She forgets it the next minute
but the child doesn't forget it.
The child never forgets.
Nor Is the teacher the only
offender in this matter. Sarcasm

finds 1t particularly effective with
Mamar-particularly If Mama be
rather young and foolish. 1t is
also a method dear to the hearts

abomination and should be ex-
