be due to the psychological
factor involved in the statement that
"A will is the only permanent expres-
sion Of himself that the average Nnan
leaves to posterity.s or It may be
caused By the fact that the Increasing
number OF cases OF litigation in our
courts. resulting from persons dying
intestate, has impressed upon US the
value of will in guarding against
sordid disputes which have wrecked
the happiness of families, although it
must be admitted that not even a will
can always prevent that. Then again
1t may be due to the fact that bank
ers and lawyers are constantly urging
their clients to snake will. Do it
now. Don't put 1t off, for tomorrow
may never come"
If, in urging upon us the necessity
for performing this important task
before we lay down our life's task,
the bankers and lawyers needed
good object lesson, what better could
be found than that offered in the fol-
lowing news stories which appeared
in the newspapers within recent
months:

Your Baby and Mine
MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED

The activities of the average 2 to 3
year old child seem miraculous to the
parents who are unfamiliar with chill
dren. They I'LL every listening ear with
tales Of their child's achievements, and
are themselves constantly surprised at
the marked evidences of intelligence
The baby develops so quickly at this age
that we can understand how incredible
his abilities must seem. s#
All children are not alike, we must
reiterate tritely, but a croSs-section Of
the activities of the average 2-year-old
Will seem more than q bit familiar to
the parents Of children this age. II
your own child is unable to accomplish
all that the average 2-year-old Is capa-
BILE OF, 1t may be from lack of opportu-
nifty. Some parents wait on a child
long past the age when he could dress
and feed himself. It is no fault Of his
that he lacks the practice which will
develop his abilities along these lines.
The 2 to 8 year old child in the
nursery school is given free rein, and
he develops accordingly. He can walk
up and down stairs (holdtng on with
one hand) and Is able to carry small
objects in the freehand. In feet, he'll
spend good share Of his time solemnly

with one hand and a ball or a teapot
or some toy in the other.
He can feed himself at table, place his
bib but not tie it, carry his own cup Of
milk without spilling. and gather up his
crumbs and carry them to the waste
basket when the meal is finished. His
activities range all the way from block
building without much Of q pattern In
mind, riding all kinds of three-wheeled
conveyances (but not q two-wheeied
"bikeO, and hauling everything Of q
size almost equal to his own. Children
Of this age delight In lifting small chairs
or heavy blocks or in other ways exer-
cising the large muscles. These games
should be encouraged. =,
He can wash his face and dabble 1t
his hands, manipulate his toothbrush
awkwardly and run the comb through
his hair.
The 2-year-old likes to be told stories
and look at books with large, bright pic
lures. He can carry two commands in
mind, such as "Shut the door and bring
mother the key" but his memory for
other spoken commands hardly exceeds
a half hour. The auditory memory and
memory for experiences differs greatly
with children. We know one 2-year-old
who recognized geographic magazine
and remembered that the previous issue
contained butterflies. She said tnnle-
diately, my book-butterflies." This
same 2-year-old understands directions
in two languages, and uses II" prop
erly instead of saying me" or "Sally,"
as do most children of this age. She
likewise speaks such sentences as
