HEALTHY THOUGHT HABITS
Margaret Conn Rhoads

MIDI SdI6I OOuu IluOduS
OF course parents are generally
desirous of having their children es-
tablish good habits. They look with
apprehension on any tendency to-
ward forming bad one. If Billy
seems careless with his clothes and
extremely slow in learning that they
should be hung up and not laid
down, special means are taken to
teach him this more commendable
way of treating his property. If
Mary is acquiring a habit of incor-
rectly handling her fork at table, at
once Mother turns her attention to
correcting this foult.
Now any visible habit is much
easier to detect, and correct even,
than is the hobit of unhealthy
thinking. And yet such a habit in
any of our children may lead to
much more serious consequences
than an undesirable visible habit.
Il was shocked when 1 finally
realized that Lucille was unhappy
because she was indulging in
daily habit of self-pity," said her
mother as we talked together. 81
traced it back to the mistake in her
thinking when Jane, her playmate,
was hgiven a larger doll for Christ
mas than she received. She lost the
pleasure of her own doll in her pity
for herself because she could not
have as lovely a doll as James. This
way of thinking grew upon her. An
other playmate had curly hair. Hers
was straight. She wondered why
she couldn't have had curls and
grieved over it. 1t went on until
this hidden habit became very ap-
parent in her attitude and actions.
Our little daughter had to go thru
a really serious time learning to
form entirely new thought habits
for herself"
Some children form lazy thought
habits and this tendency must be
watched for and broken up by teach
ing them to form active, vigorous
thought habits. Take a boy for in
stance who is most willing for you
to tell him the why of this and the
how of that instead of first thinking
out the why and the how for him
self as nearly as he can. If you
give him a piece of work to do he
seldom plans how he can do it the
quickest, best and simplest way but
goes ahead haphazardly. He is not
lacking in intelligence but is men
tally lazy.
There are rebellious habits and
fear habits that many, many children
form. Where does the rebellious
habit lead? The small child scorns
very simple home requirement,
perhaps next, he balks at the school
rules; later he shows dislike of the
group decisions; and the habit
grows until he resents the laws of
his country.
81 can see now that had 1 begun
very early with Marjorie to correct
the fear habit I might have saved
her much disquietude and nervous
strain," confessed a mother the
other day when her small daughter
was being examined by nerve spec
ialist. "She has always seemed of
fearful disposition and while have
often told her the things she feared
such as thunder claps, lightning
and the barking of a strange dog

TITS BETTER

If sins and. cares of after years
Could all be drowned in childhood's
tears;
If all the pain of evils wiles
Were borne away by mothers
smiles,
Life's tragic scenes would be less
drear,
It's better days more full of cheer.
Maturer years more free from
wrong,
And all the days more full of song.
But since these things can not be
true,
And we must bear the evils due,
'Tis better that we trust His hands,
Whose power all the world COM
mands;
In faith and love walk by His side,
And humbly ask His hand to guidei

would not hurt her,,I firmly believe,
now, that 1 did nothing definite to
build up strong resistance toward
that habit"
If, then, we study children for
hidden habits, the daily, constant
habits of thought, by carefully
watching their moods, actions and
reactions we shall be able to help
them to build up constructive think
ing. We shall find, too, that healthy
thought habits do away with the
necessity for much of our concern
with regard to the visible habits.

PARTING

It's rather hard to say farewell
When good friends have to part;
'Tis difficult for lips to tell
The feelings of the heart
Before you go, my friend, I'll try
To pen little line
To tell you, while I say good-Dy'
I'm glad your friendships mine!
I'll miss you while you are away
But we can hope for when
Upon some pleasant future day
We two shall meet again.
Twill be a happy meeting here
Ill clasp a hand with you
snwssnder greeting, dear, \

LA FERIA SWAMPED
BY FOOTBALL STARS

The high school quint. all decksd
out IN new uniforms, showed a lot
or pep, and incidentally. the start
ing lineup Is composed Of five Of the
star players on the football squad.
Keep that goal line clean" seemed
70 be the Eagles motto, and La Fe-
ria was hopelessly o~utclassed from
the start. John Sylvester started
shooting goals right from the jump
and hung up six. some Of which we're
beautifully executed.
Plato used three teams against
Coach Holmes La Feria quint, and
every player showed Up well. and
played hard. The ball was in the
La Feria territory during the whole
Of the game. only on several occa-
sions did La Feria have an opportun-
ity 10 display their wares at goal
shooting. and one of these was on a
chance at the hoop with q free shot
but they failed.
Big Dan Barnhart and Clarence
Bennett were urging their comrades
"a just as they did during the foot
ball season, and the crowd. which
was small got q big "kick" out oi
the game.
The Eagles look like they might
developed into a formidable quint.
although most of the material Coach
Plato has is more or less green in
the fundamentals Of the game.
