YOUR CHILD
Responds to
Fairness
BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON

BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON
I have two hobbies. One is that
any room Is not good enough for
the children, the other is that just
any old room is not good enough
for the boy.
This little space is going to hold
no brief today for the bright, sum
lit, pleasant room, that I have urged
over and over again for the children,
but it is going to hold a most violent
protest against the combination
sewing storage look-over the ALLEY
room that too often falls to the
lot of Thomas or Richard or Henry
just because he is boy!
Parents Set Standard
Tt isn't right, it isn't fair, it isn't
policy. If you want your boy to
grow up with the feeling, I'm just
a boy and anything's good enough
for me"-that's exactly the standard
he is going to grow up to. He won't
rise much higher than the standard
you set for i'm when he is little.
Why shouldn't a boy experience g.
feeling of unfainess and resent
ment if Is living quarters suffer by
comparison with those of his sis
tiers or parents?
Aside from this, however, there is
the peculiar psychology of the male
that clings to those things he can
call his very own. He finds express
sion in a thousand ways-his own
dog, his own tent, his dugout. You
never heard of boys borrowing each
others caps and shoes and coats, as
girls do. Pride of possession is not
a prerogative Of girls.
When Pride Grows
I never knew boy who didn't
swell up with the most touching
pride at having his own room Ca
regular fellows roonO all fixed UP
with things a boy would like-a
bookshelf, place for baseball bat
and gloves and mask, the old foot
ball, and all the other parapherna-
liza of his growing-up process that
a boy loves-all beautiful to him.
But he likes nice covers, too, and
a nice carpet, and pretty curtains.
He doesn't care if they cost 10 cents
yard or $10--but he will like the
attention and gauge his estimate by
that.
The big thing is not to make him
feel an extra, an circumference to
be stored like the old leftover fur
niture Just ANY old place"

Woman slot
Cast
With SO7YOzO
BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON,

BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON,
Haywood Broun in a burst Of
kindness unburdens himself OF a
eulogy on modern woman. He adj
mitS her faults, however, and calls
loud attention to her worst one, lack
of a sense of humor.
Mr. Broun has touched our sore
spot. The fac that he is right does
not make us feel any better. But
are there not reasons for this FEM
mime shortcoming?
Women. I believe, are sadly de-
ficient in a sense of humor largely
because their background has been
anything but humorous. Since the
beginning of time they have walked
hand n hand with tragedy, The
sad face of sorrow is a familiar one
and out of their living bodies has
come the food for the war god.
Sad Lot Since Time Began
Ages since, the first woman must
have watched with trepidation her
man going out to compete with ma
ture and with beast for food and
shelter. That indomitable struggle
endured in a sort of endless repeti-
ton. In gray da@ns, long since
lost in the mists of time, wives wept
farewells to husbands and sons who
went gaily forth searching for new
wonders on the earth. Venturing
across seas, penetrating unknown
forests, pushing into strange lands,
exploring unfamiliar places, the
men have always Jared forth willis
the women waited at home.
And since the earth was young,
women have heard with horror the
sound Of the war drums. The male
has departed seeking adventure,
victory, spoils or death. The female
has tended the hearth-fire and lived
with fear by her side.
Men Fared Better
Men have had the expectations
and the thrills; women the long
silences, the suspense and the tears.
Such things, bred into them through
centuries, have played havoc with
their sense of humor, and no won
der. For multiplied thousands or
years there was nowhere any huinor
in life for women.
And this adventurous past OF
theirs has surely helped to keep
men the delightful small boys they
still are. For them there has ever
been expectancy for the morrow, the
reckoning Of far horizons and the
sweet sound Of the SIRENS voice.
Is this the reason, perhaps, why
girls seem so often to be born with
a heavy sense of responsibility? Is
this why men are always lads at
heart and find it easier to laugh at
life? I do not know.

DAY DREAMS
By Mandel Sherman,
Washington, d. C.

(This series of articles is prepared un-
der the direction of the Gorgas Mem
orial Institute, which is Organized to

Major Gorgas in preventing
unnecessary Illness. Headquarters of

When a child day dreams. what of
it? Ordinarily it's nothing to worry
about. We've all done it and sur
vived the experience. Sometimes,
however, excessive phantasy inter-
feres with a child's progress in
school and sets up a vicious circle
of compensation in more day dream
ing that results in a serious nervous
condition. Then it becomes the busi-
ness of the psychiatrist. He must
get the boy or girl back into the real
world of real people but out of the
world of Indians, COWBOYS.
demons and fairies.
Because a child doesn't make good
progress in school is no sign that he
is mentally deficient. The diagnosis
must depend on individual circum-
1t may be merely that he
has been driven, in one way or an
other, into world where school les
sons and school discipline are un-
real, inconsequential things.
Take, for example, Peggy, ten
years old. She got rating of 12O
in the Binet mental test, a real su-
periority. Yet she did poorly in
school. She paid little attention to
her lessons and seemed dull. She
had been adopted when a little more
than a year old. Her foster parents
told her about it when she was old
enough to understand but the expla-
nation was unskillful
Her imagination was stirred by
the thought of her unknown real
parents-by the great mystery that
lay back of her life. These parents
became romantic, wonderful person
alities.
