ties Of the child mind. Rather 1t is
aimed to clarity impressions which
concern the mental processes of ex.
treme youth.
A great many misconceptions exist
in regard to the ability of a child to
form his own views about the persons
and the objects he sees around him.
Folk who are not especially fond of
children-and they usually are per.
sons who have been around them very
little-might be found to doubt the
fact that small youngsters are of
much keener perception than they
are credited.
To such persons, one might well
say, Become acquainted with chill

varying moods, and you will be gen.
timely surprised at their sharpened
Wits
The notion that children do not
think arises from the belief that they
are not confronted with problems
But they do have them as their minds
develop, though they are unlike those
of adults. 1t follows, therefore, that
they have need for thinking, but,
naturally, it will not be as complex or
as we'll directed as that OF older per.
sons.
Children, like adults, obtain their
material for thinking from their ex.
periences. The richness of their
thoughts will be in direct proportion
to the fullness of their experience.
The reasoning process of the adult
may be accuratesf but the results in
correct because OF incorrect or insult

results are due solely to the incom.

in his mind was, Where does the COW

The child Is likely to jump to con-

his impressions. A horse, for example,
may be pointed out in such a way
that the child will remember Its APP

drums and flies, drum major and
fife major, and with its organization
under William Farr. who was the
drum major, begins the real history
OF the Marine band, which has de-
veloped into the present splendid
concert and military band.
Farr, not content with a mere hfe
and drum corps, soon secured the
brasses and reeds necessary to make
a regular band and in 1900, when
the capitol of the nation was remov-
ed from Philadelphia to Washington,
he was ready to begin the concerts
that have been one of the distinctive
features of life at the seat of govern
ment for more than a century and
quarter.
The Marine band has played at
practically every state affair and
ceremonial during all these years.
It has furnished the music for in
algurations, inaugural balls, White
House receptions and garden parties
and White House weddings and
funerals. During the dread days of
the Civil war its music frightened
and cheered the sombre atmosphere
at the national capitol; it has head
ed almost every great parade that
has moved down historic Pennsyl-
vania avenue; it has done its share
in welcoming and honoring dis
tinguished guests from other lands;
and its funeral strains have accom-
panied the remains of the nations
great to their last resting places.
In recent years. through the
broadCasting of its concerts by
radio and through its tours, its mu-
sic has become familiar to millions
of Americans in every section Of
the country. No band in the his
tory of the world has played to so
many auditors, and none has so
completely gained popularity
throughout the country.

warn AMERICANS
TO LEAVE China
Situation Dangerous in Interior
Districts

Washington, Aug. Is (UP)-The
United States government today de-
cided to issue another warning to
American missionaries to keep out OF
interior Chinese districts, where civil
war is flaming again.
At the same time. the administra-
ton determined upon a policy OF
strict neutrality as between the ma
tive factions. Efforts of certain for
eign groups to take alleged advan-
tage of Chinese internal dissensions
are frowned upon here.
Faced with Chinese situation
growing daily more chaotic and deli
cate. this government will content
itself with assuring protection for
Americans in Shanghai and other
concentration ports. while refraining
from action aimed to thwart legiti
mate aspirations Of the awakening
Chinese people, it is said.
This policy is described as pa
tent and sympathetic waiting"
Reliable reports explain the pres
ent strife as resulting from disinte-
grafton Of the dual nationalist gov
ernments at Hankow and Marking,
and consequent conservative offens-
ives.
