something rather new as far the age of the world

part OF newspapers to not only keep their readers well
informed as to the doings of the great but con-
scentous attempt to preserve for poserity only the
utterances and activities Of the great but also photo

crossed the Rubicon when Adams wife ate the apple
much controversy among historians and archeoloests

destruction OF the world in the remote future will bury
the written records and the photographs Of the men y-

one lett to want these records photographs Further
more the entire nation knows all about the public lives of
great men today because the newspaper reporters and

AS THE Twl0 IS BENT

/ While there Is unquestionably
great deal to be said on the subject
of heredity influences affecting thu
young child, am sure that environ.
ment and training are most to be con-
sidered In shaping both the child's
mind and his body to the normal
The child's body can be grown to per.
feet proportions through scientific
feeding. combined with efficient cor
receive exercise to shape the muscles
The mental forces can likewise be de-
veloped.
Although some children seem
naturally to have more sensitive nerv-
Gus systems than others, It seems to
me that the irritable and highly nerv-
GUS child Is made 80 through very
apparent false training by the par
ents. Children must Be taught reg
ular habits for health. This applies
not only to eating and exercising
habits but to what may be termed
mental habits.
Parents who do not practice good
habits themselves. can hardly be con-
sidered tit teachers for their chill
dren. There Is more need for model
parents than for critical ones. Par
ents must first have constructive
ideas to teach the child and then UNI
derstand how to train him so as to
reduce those ideas to good practice.
Parents who are discourteous to each
other will Of course be the same way
to their children and ct least set them
very bad example. II the husband
and wife were as discourteous to their
personal friends as they are to each
other and to their children, they
would soon find no friends left.
Children q well as adults will re-
spond more willingly to requests than
to demands. The request should al
ways be reasonable one II the child
Is to gain confidence In his opinion Of
his parents judgment. II children are
kindly directed just what to do, they
will have very little time or opportun-
ity for making mistakes. One do Is
always worth q hundred "dont's."
Children do not like to be idle, and
would just as soon ,play at healthful
games and eat the right kind OF foods
as they would get into mischief. Par
ents soon lose control over their chill
dren when they show lack Of con-
troll Of their own actions and emo
tions.
The child Is in the very primary
grade In the. school of life and Is
really trying hard to learn how to
live. There is no excuse for becoming
angry with him because he makes
mistakes.
Do you ever see an irritable child
who did not have an irritable mother?
She may make excuses for angry out
bursts, but the harm Is done and hard
TO correct when one Of these emo
tional explosions occurs before the
child. Mothers who complain Of their |
children being cross and cranky are
only exposing the fact to their friends |

LUCKY DAYS
Bad boys, and all human beings.
are living in an era of opportunities.
All bad boys were treated alike less
than generation ago. The world Of
science was not yet ready with aid
for them. The modern tendency Is to
regard people as individuals with in
dividual needs and to get busy helping
them.
The trouble today is the bewilder-
ing number Of aids offered, with this
branch and that branch Of science In
sisting that it's what the patient
needs The very array of help offered
makes parenthood more Of q Job than
ever with the many choices presented
