Just Every Day Sense
By MRS. WALTER FERGUSON

THE average taxpayer generally is ignorant of the
l. sort of propaganda that goes on in the public
schools.
Entirely too large a part of it pertains to the
spread of Sectaranism and bayhoo for the eighteenth
amendment.
Most of us give respect to those men and women
who sincerely believe in our present prohibition law
But long as a good many people who also pay
school taxes do not regard it good thing, it seems
somewhat high handed for the arid to seize upon
the entire machinery of free education to put over
their opinions no matter how fine they may be-
Yet the other day the head of schools in good
sized city heard to say that he would hire
teacher, no matter how good, unless he or she be-
longed to some mountaineering Protestant church.
And the chairman of the national committee on
education for the eighteenth amendment in the Par
ent-Teacher group is the superintendent of schools

Eighty.
ATOw, it seems to me that any man who holds such
against repeal He is entitled to personal opinion
and that is all.
His job is to run the schools in fair and impartial
manner and he should more strive to teach Meth
odsm in his classroom than to nsti there the prn-
cipleS of Buddhism.
Neither the wonens organization for national pro-
hlbltlon reform nor the w. G. I. U. has right to
invade the study halls with their arguments. Chill
dren should be preserved from all intinidations by
any group faction.
And the rich who can send their children to pri-
vate institutions not sdestep duty in this way
Every man who pays taxes and who believes still
that education means drawing out rather than q
closing of the mental powers is at fault when he per-
nits his schools to be used for propaganda Of any
sort.

Care Is Needed
in Giving Baby
His Daily Bath

A healthy baby should be bathed
every day. During the first two
weeks this and all the matter per-
tanning TO the care of the baby usu-
ally are under supervision Of the
doctor or the nurse.
For some weeks tiny baby may
be bathed in a basin or bowl; after
that he should have baby tub.
The mother may find it convent
ent to give the bath before the mid
morning feeding. after the bowels
have moved. Never battle a baby
within an hour after feeding.
Sometimes it may be convenient
TO give the bath at night, just be-
fore the baby's bedtime. The water
for young baby's bath should be
slightly above body heat; that Is,
about los degrees, Fahrenheit.
AS the baby gets older, the tenn
perature may be lowered slightly.
A baby should have his own
towels and wash cloths, Of old soft
material, including a small soft
wash cloth for the face and one for
use when the diaper is changed.

Regular Habits
Necessary for
Child's Health

The wise mother from the first
trains her child in regular habits
It is one of the greatest factors in
keeping the child well during the
early years
Habits result from repeated ac-
tons and good habits in the child
are formed through regularity in
eating, sleeping, and emptying the
bowels.
The feeding time is the basis Of
baby's program. Around this are
built the other actions and there
should be a period for sleep after
each feeding for the small baby.
A mother should not nurse the
baby before his regular time to stop
crying and when the infant has fed
and is asleep nothing should be al
lowed to disturb him. If the infant
is sleeping when time for feeding
arrives, ne should be awakened.
Soon the habit viii be formed and
the child usually will be awake at
mealtime. The exception is that
very young babies need not be
awakened for food at 2 or 3 a. m.
The mother may plan the daily
program for her own convenience.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1932-05-04
BATH FOR BABY
SHOULD BE HOT

Babys bath should be given in q
room with the temperature 70 to rs
degrees and the bath water 100 de-
grees, gradually decreased to about
90 degrees when the child is 6
months old. A splash Of cold water
over the chest also may assist in
avoidance of colds.
Individual towels and bath cloths
always should be used for the in
FAINT. There is no particular time
for the bath except convenience for
the mother, but it should not be
Immediately after nursing.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1932-05-04
Don t Do This

Here are a few dont'S OF
bahyhood:
Don't kiss baby on the
mouth.
Don't pick ii up when 1t cries.
Don't let any one and every
one hold the bottle when feed
ing it.
Don't play with or tease the
baby
Don't rock or walk it to
sleep.
Don't give it a pacifier-they
disfigure the mouth, infects the
gums and causes a sucking
habit.

Harmful to Child

Babies are often smothered by
sleeping with their mothers. The
habit of constantly nursing at night
that is so easily formed with the
baby in bed, is a great drain upon
the mother and very upsetting TO
the baby'S digestion.
