Work for Children.

why do you talk about teaching
children to work with their hands when
you know the world is being filled with
machines that do away with hand
work."
Fer several reasons. The first one is
the child's right to work 1 believe that
work is the greatest gift in life. If a
man or woman has work he likes to
90, he is happy deep down. He may
have troubles but as long as he can
work happily they are only surface
things that soon pass over. Children
have right to know how to work at
the job they like best. That is why 1
would have them taught to do some
sort OF work in school. Scatter oppor-
tunities for work all over the school
curriculum and each child will find
something that is his.
/ am not interested in making the
chlld-Self supporting entirely. That is
essential. but it comes much later than
school life. The school is to offer work
that interests the child at his stage of
growth. Throughout his school career
his work should advance with his
growth experience and training being
the stimulants for growth. Intelligence
expands end takes on quality and power
by experience. Actual doing is what
creates power. The child who reads
about making an airplane gains some
thing. but the child who makes one after
reading about it gains everything.
Working to q standard of excellence
is the best kind of discipline. The time
when a child who sat with folded hands
and still tongue for five and six hours
a day was called perfect" has gone
by. Goodness that stayed still in one
spot didn't get very far and success has
habit of reckoning from a distant
horizon. The perfect child has been
shelved and the active, alert, noisy one
who does things has taken his place.
The school room OF today is not SO still
the teacher can hear the clock tick.
Growth Is in activity and that spells
work
I have no fear that machines will do
away with the need of skilled hands.

My bad point is as follows: I can

Tight Cuff Undersleeves
BY MARY MARSHALL. b.

Undersleeves are very important,
and you may have noticed that wher-
ever they occur this season they take
the form either of puffs or deep cuffs.
The oversleeve usually flares very
slightly from the shoulder down and
ends midway between elbow and wrist.
The puffs are dainty and charming.
The cuffs are easier to wear and quite
as dainty. So decidedly fer the work

are trim about the hand and don't get

and tight. For nothing IS quite SO
complimentary to a pretty hand as a
neatly fitting cuff, tight at the wrist.
And for the hand that is not specially
pretty such a cuff also adds charm.
Sometimes these underSleeves of the
tight cuff kind are made of lace
Oftenest this year they are made of
satin. They should be firmly tackled
