OUR CHILDREN By Angelo Pa,ri

"Alex doesn't pay attention? Well
tell you what I did with the Gray boy.
He wouldn't pay attention to anything.
but I kept him after school and made
him do over every single lesson he had
failed in and he pretty soon attended to
business. Just try that on Alex"
But Alex had been kept after school
and all he did was fall asleep. So tina,
wasn't just right for Alex.
We'll, well, you don't tell me. Why
when my daughter waf that age she
lust loved to go to dancing school. just
loved it. Buy her pair of new dane
ing slippers and new dress and tell her
how pretty she looks and I'll bet she
goes to dancing school all right"
But Betty had new slippers and
new dress and she cried when she put
them on 70 go to dancing school. SO
that wasn't the just-right-thing for
Betty.
No, no. One mans medicine Is an
oths~ mans poison. The just-right-
way tor child is his peculiar need and
the only way a mother or father OF
teacher can find it is by trying out the
best known way and watching to see
what happens. Let the child taste all
the bowls or porridge, sit in each OF the
chairs in the bears house and he Will
tell you joyfully which Is just right.
There is no essence of Righteousness,
no Teady-to-take stimulant to growth
that one can administer to every child
and feel certain Of success. There Is
store of experiences, most of them tried
and found good by some one. but each
of them is labeled. ITO be used as
needed"
The only way I have found of test
ing the fitness of any corrective to
child's need is the very old one of try
ing ii out Some of them can be dis
carded without even glance. some We
try with doubt, some with hope and
faith But few. very. very few. do We
set before a child and say: This IL
Just right for YOU"
1t is always better to let the chflu
try for himself and so give one hins
as to his naed. He will find the right
thing faster that way.

The correctly placed dressing table is
that which has been so located as to

of the latter. OF course, If We were to

one side of the table.
Great care should be given in plac-

The walls and woodwork in this room
are tinted in a light shade of apricot
and the floor covering is light green.
The glass curtains are made to hang
