where her five-year-old daughter,
virginia, was beginning the study of
instrumental music. Virginia had
been asked to join in some simple
little songs and had done very Well

Virginia: you can certainly sing

conductor of the studio.
Isn't she fine? She ought TO have
little lessons in vocal work. raVeu
Faye, Mrs. Fields grown sister.
Virginia twisted with pleasure ana
complacency and remarked, Yes !
think l do sing real we'll"
"Of course you do agreed the
ladies. -,
The thoughtful mother took her
little daughter out of the studio as
soon as possible. On the way home,
Virginia asked if she had hearu
what had been said. To TINS tne
mother responded: "Yes, L tnlnK 1t
so nice of them to say such klno
things about my little girl. VI
course you know, dear, they wanted
to make us feel happy so they were
extra generous"
The child was thoughtful 1Or
few minutes and then said, We'll L
do think 1 can sing better than any
of the other children around mere
Mother, don't you think shoulu pe-
gin to take vocal and dancing les-
sons?"
mo, indeed, dear; not for quite a
while"
"But, Mother, Faye said was a
horn dancer and Mrs. Fields told
me 1 was the most graceful child IN
her classes, unless it is Dena, and'
Mother, can do better than she
can even if she does feel so smart
and big"
Listen, dear, Mother will tell you
when she wants you to do those ex-
ira things, so let us not worry any
more about them"
After a short silence: Mother,
Faye thinks 1 won't ever amount 10
anything the way your are raising
me-"
The mother was absolutely non
plussed for a few moments. She felt
really more than vexed that a chllo
so young should have been exposed
in this way, especially since she had
had to help Virginia constantly be-
cause of a natural tendency to think
too highly of herself and her ability.
She was sorry to see the unaccus-
toned frown of irritation on the
Young face and wondered how Mrs.
Fields, herself mother, could take
such an attitude toward a child or
permit her sister to do so. Does
Mrs. Fields carefully consider and
weigh all her actions and those OF
her children as I do?" she ques-
toned. 1--WE were both students OF
Child Psychology, yet L cannot see
that she applies any of her knowl-
edge either in training her own chill
dren or in dealing with mine" But
she pushed the annoying thoughts
quickly and resolutely aside and
looking down tenderly at her little
daughter, she asked, "And what
does Virginia think?"
1t was the child's turn to be non
pIussed. Then meeting her mothers
loving gaze, a new spirit of loyalty
was born.
"I'd rather have you for my moth
err" was her somewhat irrelevant
reply.

TIDE TOWARD DENOMINATION

The Republican Party Tin this

rank and file as well as the lead
ers) wants Calvin Coolidge. 1t has
been making it's wishes known since
August End when he issued a state
ment, and those who watched the
gathering of national committeeman
at Washington were forced to the
realization that the desire was, if
anything, stronger than ever.
This deveOplment is all the more
surprising because it has grown in
the face of his repeated reaffirmat-
ion of his intention to retire. No
one questions the sincerity of Presi-
dent Coolidge's statement. No one
of the national committeeman who
assembled here has attempted to
predict that the President would re-
cant. Each and every one of them
is of the belief that it would require
extraordinary circumstances to
create in his mind a thought of re-
consideration. Convinced that their
only hope is through a political
miracle, uncertain even as to what
shape or form that miracle should
assume, yet-they have left the city
in a hopeful state of mind.

CLEANER SCHOOL
CHILDREN

A log with a student at one end
and Mark Hopkins at the other used
to be a standard definition or a col
lege, but the small boy or girl
struggling to make first acquain-
lance with reading and writing and
arithmetic needs more complete
equipment.
Miss Sally Lucas Jean, known to
educators and health authorities all
over the United States as a pioneer
in school health education, and for
merly consulting specialist to the U.
S. Bureau of Education, points out
that even blackboards and globes do
not supply the child with adequate
tools of learning. He needs milk
bottles and wash basins as we'll.
1.-THE whole life of the child comes
within the scope of the modern
school," Miss Jean explains. "It is
not only his mind, but his body and
his emotional life that must be
trained. School hygiene has been
taught for years, but it is only since
1918 that a nationwide movement,
approved and encouraged by the U.
S. Bureau of Education, began to
emphasize the positive, cheerful as
poets of health education.
"The rules of the Health Game
which thousands of children have
learned to play since that time in
clude such routine matters as early
sleep, bathing more than once a
week, and brushing the teeth. Many
persons wonder why such things
can not be left entirely to home
training. AS a matter of fact, even
the most conscientious mothers are
glad to have their efforts reinforced
by the strength that comes from
group enthusiasm. Unless the
school shares this responsibility the
child may grow up handicapped by
the wrong habits of living.
zone of the most practical aspects
of this new emphasis on health edu-
cation is it's tie-up between theory
and practice. The child learns not
only that he ought to wash his
hands after play and before meals,
but he actually washes them-that
is, if the school is equipped for it.
Unfortunately only few schools in
this country have really sufficient
facilities.
go into the Easements which in
most schools offer the only cleanup |
equipment, and you will come away
wondering how our children are as
they are. When school health
program is being planned, be quite
sure that an adequate supply of
soap, towels, and warm water is
made available, together with the
we'll prepared teacher who will in
terest and train the children in their
use"
Washing hands and keeping clean,
whether at home or at school, can
be made part of a cheerful accep-
lance of right habits, Miss Jean de-
No wry faces need be made
over any rules of the Health Game,
and least of all over such an every
day matter as bathing and washing.
Stories of boys and girls in other
lands who play the same game, and
the examples of athletic heroes, can
all be used by the resourceful tea
cher and by parents, too, to help in
still cleanliness as one Of the funda-
mental standards of living.
