OUR CHILDREN
BY ANGELO PATRI.
Mothers Do Grow.

Some people seem to think that be-
cause woman is a mother she has
ceased to grow. Nothing more is to be
expected of her in the way of physical
or mental or social development. She
is settled for good and all. Nothing
could be farther from the truth.
Mothers do grow.
They grow physically. BY inches and
pounds and powers. There is every
good reason why mother should grow
and be proud of the growth. If she
can play golf and tennis, all the better.
Swimming and riding and hiking are
as much her sports as they were before
she became mother and it is not only
right, 1t Is a mothers duty to make the
very best possible body for herself. The
healthier the lovelier, and the lovelier
the better.
Mothers grow mentally by leaps and
bounds. 1t is all very we'll to say you
know thing. Maybe you do. But
when you have children all you thought
you knew takes on meaning hundred
fold. The Simlest pfact, like eating
simple food. takes on such implications
such responsibilities as would freight a
battleShip. Simple rules of conduct
suddenly take on the might and power
of ritual and creed. Relationships that
were trit1es take on shades of values
according to their natures.
Schools. Everybody knows all about
schools until they are mothers. Then
schools become a great unknown field
fraught with awful possibilities. The
lives of children are bound up in
schools. Mothers put their whole souls
into the interpretations of simple we'll
known things like these and grow and
grow and grow. The mother of a fam
lily is educated and broadened and
deepened by her children.
1t seems sometimes that it would be
we'll to train all girls for motherhood.
At least they could get the simple facts
well In their minds and lay the founda-
tons for future growth. Motherhood
Is profession and there is plenty of
room for all the knowledge the world
offers. The younger one starts at ones
profession the better chance there is
Tor its mastery. 1t would be good to
teach all girls about home MANAGEMENT,
the care and feeding of infants. budget
ing, investing, selecting school, pur-
chasing, diet for a family-anything
that sheds light on the rearing of the
next generation in health and happi-
ness.
Starting out with that, the mothers
can be depended upon to get the re-
mainder from the college that mother
hood demands. Each child calls for
special adjustment, special information.
The whole of society is levied upon for
help and sustenance. The mother har-
vests the wisdom of the race for the
growth of her brood.
And If the race has stored no wisdom
the mothers set 1t to the task. Find
1t for us. The children need it." is
sufficient to set the leaders of science
to work in shop and laboratory the
wrole world over. Mothers are not only
growing for themselves, but they are
forcing the world of men and women
to grow along with them.
Some day an enlightened civilization
viii confer real degree upon mother
hood.

Analyze the Situation.

Wives often hear their husbands talk
ing about Analysing the situation" and
they sometimes wonder just what
process in involved. Analysing simply
means thinking about situation in a
clear, understanding and coherent way.
In the experience of many 1t enables
us to save dollars and worries.
Ones insurance policy may be too
heavy to carry. Should she follow the
impulse and drop it entirely? No.
analyze the situation. How can the fire
risk be lessened? Is she getting the
benefit of the lowest rate from good
company? Can smaller policy be
taken out, which will cover her amply?
These questions aid her in Analysing
that particular problem.
Business men call the way in which a
proposition shapes up the "set-up.'
Suppose ones brother-in-law attempts
to interest her in his business. She
analyses his proposition in business
like way to get line on the "set-up."
What are his prospects, abilities, mar
kets, competitions, risks, assets and La
bilities? She asks these questions, and
more, to analyze the situation before
investing.
Ones maid asks for a raise in salary.
She is now being paid more than most
maids for a like grade. Shall one pay
her or let her go? Can she be replaced
for less? Has she really increased in
value? What would her value be to
another employer? On what basis does
she ask for a raise? Are her services
dispensable? and so forth. BY analysing
the situation one is enabled to reach a
practical decision.
Unfortunately the chair one has
chosen for the sitting room is expensive.
1t is just the chair one has planned to
buy. What is there to do? Buy it on
the inStallment plan, select a substi-
tute or try to find one in auctions, Sec
ond-hand stores or classified ads? Can
it be obtained for less in some other
store? Is sale imminent? These are
some of the questions that help to
analyze the situation.

% At bedtime scrub the feet well with

Everyday Psychology
Forget It"
By DIR. Jesse W. sPRowLs.

A lot Of people imagine that they can
do anything they like with mental
processes, with states of mind, with the
strivings and STRINGS of the emotions,
especially those that belong to some
one else. Such things can't be con-
trolled as easily as these people sup
pose The human mind has its own
laws, and these laws demand strict
obedience. When you try to force ideas
into particular channels, you may be
sure you will meet with stubborn re-
sistance.
So it comes that our good intentions
are often intentions and nothing more.
Most of us have had some experience
with trying to get some friend to be
himself, by merely telling him to for
get his troubles. You might as well
tell him to think of nothing at all, or
to imagine infinite time or infinite
space. or to lift himself by his cwn
boot straps, or to turn any other M
possible trick. 1t just can't be done.

DuSl1eSSs
I doubt very much if you can cheer
a person up by taking him to a movie,
or on a hunting trip. You are merely
shifting his attention for the time
being. OF course, this shifting of at
tention may relieve the situation some
what. It may even be a salvation at
critical times.
But when you tell a person to "for-
get 1t" you are not shifting his at
tention from his troubles. You are
only reminding him of them. You must
do more. You must show him some
logical reasons why he should consider
it not so deeply" In that way you
help him to use his own resources,
which for the time being are "sicklied
