Misspent Genius.

We read today of woman who man.
ages nobly to get along with her family
on .$21 a week. Her household man
agement had been termed "wizardry'
and when we examained some of the
items of her household expenditures,
we think she is either a wizard or a
poor bookkeeper.
At any rate, she has trained for a
profession and she is a college graduate.
Even If she is doing what she is re-
ported to be doing, she is misdirecting
her genius.
It always seemed to us that woman
who spends hours on end trying to
pinch out some sort of a living would
be far better of employing her talents
in a productive way.
This particular woman has potential
earning capacity Of about $45 to SIS q
week, and yet she is content to st1ug-
gle along with her family on $21 per
week by the dint of much scraping.
Many wife could go out and earn a
decent living and work less arduously
than she does at home It would mean
better living for herself, her husband
and her family.
Instead of having just enough, there
would be a surplus and, what Is more
should anything happen to her family,
she would not be dependent on aims tc
keep her family fed, clothed and shell
tered.

OUR CHILDREN
By ANGELO PATRI.

Of growth, his choice of occupation.
Some children take a nap and some
don't. Give the one that refuses a nap
something to keep him company and let
him stay quietly in his bed, or In the
hammock, or fiat on the cool grass
under the trees. According to the child,
his rest period is to be adjusted.
The older children must not be over
looked. have seen adolescent boys
and girls run themselves ragged, breath
less, hysterical; known them to set the
household by the ears and disrupt the
work of the class room all because they
had not been forced to program their
day and allow for period of compare
tive calm.
Thought Is the force that makes our
bodies go. We cannot stop thought, not
even for a moment. But we can so di-
rect thought that it will not drive the
body to extremity Of fatigue. Every
thought we generate affects the body
and tends to set 1t into action. This
period of calm Is to generate thought
that will first soothe the body and then
permit it to go into action with higher
power than before.
Reading is one good exercise for rest
and recreation. 1t furnishes food for
meditation. Music, not the music that
need concentrated effort to produce 1t,
but the music that leaks out of the
finger ends as the mind dreams. Or
listening to music. Reading flower
catalogues rests some folk; reading their
prayers, others. Day dreaming helps
some children, sewing patchwork helps
others.
I cannot give you a recipe for the
daily calm. There Is one for each of us
grownups, one for each child, according
to his tastes and his needs. Try to let
him select his own way of acquiring
bliss and you will be safer. And set
him good example by holding sacred
your own quiet hour.

The Daily Calm.

This Is a highly stimulated sort Of life
We are living The speed Of it is star
ting The noise and their latter and the
rush are enough to drive us headlong
through the hours. The children feel
this and show the effect of it in their
behavior. They are irritable, they cry
easily, they talk rapidly and when
checked they scream. Such a high
strung child. What Is one to do?"
Every household runs on some sort of
daily schedule. Even If the house
keeper has never sat down with pencil
and paper and made a daily program,
there is one. A better one can be made
by taking thought about 1t. On that
schedule there should be q time for
calm, for repOse, a safe retreat.
The housekeeper, the homemaker,
needs. that time If she Is to get through
the day without losing control of her
self and the household. 1t is not pos
sible to live at high tension for IL or 16
hours housekeepers and home makers
have long hours. without knowing ter
rible fatigue. The period of calm will
insure against that and things will go
ahead smoothly where they fell into
confusion before.
But children especially need this pc
Rod Of calm. just what time they are
to have set aside for 1t depends upon
the child; his temperament, his stage

to do that, how much more she could
earn in commercial occupation!
Perhaps she would free her husband
from a rut, and give him as we'll as
herself and her family, new hope. new
freedom and new incentive.
The art of going without may be-
come fixed habit, and, after q whtle,
thwart ambition. We should like to
see this financial wizard fall into debt

might get out and earn what she should
be earning.
Fewer women today than ever before
are satisfied to "get along" on what
ever meager salary their husbands may
bring in. They recognize the fact that
better living and a brighter future
awaits the woman who Is qualified and
able to earn a livelihood.

But though Peter sat there for long,

Finally Peter gave up and went about

mand for "clever" conversation. DR..
