Reasons fdr Rejoicing By EDITH LOCHRIDGE REID

 Have you asked him to be quiet in closing the door?" in quired Auntie.
 Have I?" Mrs. Roe was em- phatically indignant. Why I tell him every single time he bangs it."
 Did you say anything the one time that he closed it silently?' continued Aunt Meliss.
 "Of course not" confessed Mrs Roe, still on the defensive, and assuming that her little son alone was at fault.
 Aunt Melss shook her head doubtfully. You haven't learned to search out reasons for rejoic- ing" she said. Even in Billy's boisterous behavior you will al ways find something commendable or favorable upon which you may base encouragement"
 If every family could have an Aunt Meliss to drop a bit of kind. ly suggestion as to ways and means of guiding a husky, normal six-year-old boy, what a blessing it might prove. Aunt Meliss ra. diates quleting atmosphere. She is conscious of the noisy and dis. turbing elements as much as Mo ther, but she observes and com. ments on the correct motives and acts. Billy will close the door quietly as many times as possible just to hear Aunt Meliss say with her beaming smile, There, that was grand! You remembered again."
 Just a few of those ''quiet clos ings" and the act becomes a cour tesy that is habitually observed by vigorous Billy.
 This business of child-train.ng with it's necessary disciplinary ad justments needs to be supported as often as possible by reasons for rejoicing. Sometimes we may
