Think of the aggravation and
the irritation that that teacher
was spared in the course of a
year. And think OF the peace and
the dignity with which those
pupils pursued their studies and
lived their hours in the school.
room. They were there to learn
their lessons. to strengthen their
minds and to develop Character
and they did it.
AT school or at home children
Will usually respond to the atti.
tude OF their elders. Teachers or
parents who live on the bones
OF the youngsters in their charge
are rewarded by defiance or de.
ceit. Those who appeal to the
best that is in children usually
call forth the best efforts that
little folks are able to produce.
It Is easy to mold the opinion
and the attitude of a classroom
or a household, provided the
leader is fine enough and strong
enough.
Sincerity and understanding are
most necessary in dealing with a
group OF children. Furthermore
g. leader must have some real
aoliity and genuine qualification
In order to retain the respect of
the Young. They are quick to
detect the superficial and quite
scornful of incompetence.
Parents or teachers who spend
their time and energy in exacting
compliance in minor matters have
neither time nor spirit for getting
across the big lessons.

nNCE there was a teacher who
~ had the goodness of heart
and the common sense to treat
her pupils as though they were
sure-enough people-with minds
of their own and bodies that
called for consideration.
I'VE do not come to school to
be bothered with details" she
told herself. land there must be
some way to dispose of all the
trivial things that take up so
much time and nerve-force."
So on the morning of the third
day in that classroom she had a
heart-to-heart talk with the chill
dren.
IT do not think talking Is a
SIM she said, land neither do 1
think that helping another child
in school is a sin. If the child
sitting near you wants to know
where his lesson begins, wishes to
borrow a pencil or find out the
meaning Of a word, you are at
liberty to help him. If you need
any little assistance of that sort,
you may ask your neighbor.
Speak when it is necessary; but
be very quiet about it. If you
want a drink of water, go quietly
and get it. If it is necessary for
you to leave the room, write your
name on the blackboard near the
door and go without asking per-
mission. Only one child can leave

WOMEN FAIL

n spite Of her achievements in

weeks Liberty. For, as he points
out, although several women have
directed one or more pictures with
varying measures of success, only
one, Miss Lois Weber, has earned
the title Of full-fledged director.
The reason for their lack Of
success in this field is that they

explains. Miss Weber herself. !"

SOLVES HAT
MYSTERY

TUE origin of the bow inside a
4 mans hat is described in an
answered question in this weeks
Liberty. Formerly, it is explained,
hats were made in only a few
sizes. To adapt them to varying
sizes OF heads, a string was woven
around the inside of the hat,
which could be drawn up or
loosened to suit. The bow has
been retained because 1t serves to
distinguish quickly between the
back of the hat and the front.
