OUR CHILDREN
~ ANGELO PArRl.
As It Is.

As It Is.
There Is q certain high quality Of
mind that allows some of US to see
things and people as they are and ac-
cept them in a gracious spirit. Not
with liberation, not with kindness that
reeks of superiority, not with patience
that shouts aloud In its pain, but with
calm, hearty, honest acceptance Of a
fact.
A pair of simple workaday parents Of
good habits and good tastes, Of fine
character, have a child upon whom
they lavish the whole force Of their af-
lection. This child must be a leader
among men: must have great person.
atty; display q great power; possess
some high gift.
And he has nothing Of the sort. He
has his parents simple, wholesome,
hearty interest in life and work. He
will be q good citizen and father. But
no leader, no artist, no extraordinary
personality. When after years of school
and tutoring and testing this fact
forces itself upon the minds of the
parents they are vexed; they are dis
appointed in life;' they are especially
disappointed in their child.
Blessed are the man and the woman
who can accept things as they are when
nothing can be done to effect q change
In them. Their children will be
healthier, happier. far more successful
than II their parents had dreamed a
dream and tried hard to have their
children make it come true.
This sort Of thing is so unjust to the
children. They know they have not
the power their people long for in them
and they know also that 1t was and is
quite impossible for them to possess it..
Knowing that they have failed in the
eyes of their people, their schools, their
mates, these children turn about and
try to express something Of the resent
ment, the bitterness, the disappoint-
ment they feel and consequently take
on the appearance Of a double failure.
One child has a gift for writing, but
he cannot learn arithmetic. Another
can draw, but cannot spell. This one
can cook q. fine dinner, but is deaf to
all languages save her own. In order
that each child Is brought to fulfill
ment 1t Is best to face the situation as
IL Is.
A normal minded child can master
the fundamentals of reading and writ
ing and arithmetic. II they refuse
further education in the usual school.
why not educate them as they are and
bring their power to full height? 1t is
no disgrace to work. They only dis
grace in the field is that Of doing a
poor job. To my mind, it is sad dis
grace to botch an artists job in one
field when one might be master In
another
Study your child and make the most
of him or her. Accept him as he is
rather than sit signing for the talents
of the child next door. If the truth
were known the parents next door are
signing for the very talents your child
displays.
Common sense, usefulness, power in
a given field Of work. any one of these
is a rare gift. Maybe your child has
one Of them? And perhaps he has Of
fered it and you have scorned it? Ac-
ceptance of the best a child can do is
always the right step. It may lead TO
high achievement. 1t certainly will
lead to happiness.

the use?
The quaint advice the tuberculosis
specialist gave the patient Is not worth
6 bucks in my judgment.
Unless a patient is too weak to eat
like common folks, there is nothing
whatever to warrant the use of raw
eggs-unless the patient happens to
prefer 'em raw. AS a rule tuberculosis
patients, like other patients, prefer an
egg fried, hard boiled or tortured.
That's the way the patient should have

it is actually more nourishing and hence
more Strengthening" than a raw egg
because the raw albumen or white is
not wholly digested. whereas cooking
kills a kind Of fermentlike substance in
the raw albumen that prevents ready
digestion of the substance. OF course a
verv Ill patient may be made to swal-
low raw egg in some fluid form when he
could not eat cooked egg, and any OF
us may down a half dozen or more raw
eggs in a drink when we could scarcely
eat em cooked. That's the only sensi-
BILE reason for prescribing raw eggs for
anybody at any time. There's a lot of
traditional bunk about the effects Of
