by doing and they don't merely learn
to do, but to be what later will have
as much influence on their careers as
what they have learned.
The schools can show you only the
handicrafts and the stage settings, the
models and the maps, the projects and
all the stages of their construction. But
the exhibit invisible Is the devotion to
an interest, the control Of hand, the
training OF eye, the judgment in use
Of material. the ingenuity of resource,
the team play, the shaping Of the self
into joyous cooperative member OF
group in which the child plays an
individual part. All this makes for
mental fitness.
AS to mind food and the mental diet
generally, in much we agree, but agree
with good deal of difference of
opinion. We are experimenting to find
out what kind of education makes for
mental fitness, for that is the test
There may be many good roads suited
to different types Of children and par

lay greater emphasis on having chill

good deal of freedom to express
themselves in work and play, so that
they may develop according to their
nature. They make interest leading

ideas can more readily be put into
practice, but they have also affected the
methods and the spirit Of the public
schools.
Home and school have joined forces
by educating parents. And the big
idea back Of that is that the adult
must share in the child's world, no
less than the child must gradually

Parents Exposition.

In New York, In the last week Of
April, parents were on show. The Grand
Central Palace advertised in electric
lights, not as In other months a motor
boat show, or an auto show, or a candy
show, but parents show" 1t was ar
ranged by the United Parents Associa-
ton of Greater New York.
1t Is safe to say that in no other
country could such an exposition, the
first Of its kind, have been held. The
ideas back of this movement have been
made In Switzerland and Italy and
France, in Germany and Austria and
Holland. in England and Canada, and
wherever men and women are thinking
about children In the light Of our new
knowledge of psychology; but nowhere
have these ideas been so generally
adopted and developed as in the United
States. What Is true Of Greater New
York Is in a measure true OF Greater
United States. parents show Is a
typically American show, and we may
take pride in this fact.
First among these ideas is child
study, which has a half century OF
history. There are important centers
for child study at Columbia, Yale, Har-
ward, Pennsylvania, Cornell. Iowa, Min
nesota, California and score of other
universities and allied institutions. IL
Is as though we had received a reve-
lation that the proper study Of man
kind Is the child. And 1t Is. for child
psychology is the clue to adult psy-
chology. "The child is father to the
man" would make good motto for
a parents show.
Child study leads to child guidance.
Children must be understood to be
guided. for they have problems peculiar
to childhood For the pronounced
problem children" out Of the ordinary
run. clinics are established where ply
sicians and psychologists and social
workers cooperate to find out what Is
wrong and how to set it right. For
the far more common lighter cases a
consultation service assists parents in
their jobs.
We no longer think of a school as a
place where children just learn the
three RS or other useful information,
but where their characters are rightly
adjusted and they are trained in body
and mind and spirit to take their place
in the world. In this aim the school
and the parent have Joined forces

the approved porch types Of manufac-
tured rugs. The purchaser states the
size needed. and the squares are Sewed
together before the rug is delivered.
When crocheting make Is inch
squares. and as soon as you have six
join them to form an oblong. This
can be used, and as soon as another
three are completed they can be added,
ETC., until the rug is the desired size.
The expert way to make the squares
is to form chain of stitches, join
with q slip stitch and into this make
II stitches. Crochet three stitches in
each third stitch and continue In each
row to increase three in the center
stitch. Of the increase. Finish each
row with slip stitch and start each
succeeding row with one chain. A
perfect square will result.
A simpler way. though not nearly SO
professional looking, is to crochet back
and forth on q chain, measuring a
stitch or two more than 10 inches. The
give" is needed TO prevent the first row
from being too taut. Continue crochet
ing back and forth in ordinary crochet
stitch until the length is IS inches.
Finish on the square and lay 1t one
side until another is finished. Then
seam the two together, having the
stitches 60 in reverse lines. BY sewing

other this order Of stitches viii pre-

Natural color may BE- used for all
strips, though when two colors are used

OF 9-inch squares with q row of the
darker squares (I6-inch size) outside
them. Each square must be one with
corner forming true right angles.
