W. s. G. Specialist Talks
To Junior Women

Inc Junior Woman's Club met in
the assembly room of the Lutheran
church Monday afternoon, February
10, to hear Miss Jessie Barber, spe-
cialist in child training, from the ex-
tension department at w. S. c., whose
subject was, Punishment, Obedience
and Awards of Children" Thirty-fiye
ladies were present.
Miss Barber said that both parents
! and teachers must learn to understand
children from three different angles
mentally, physically and emotionally.
Soon after child is born he learns
three important things of life. These
are love, fear and rage.
| She said, I'm order to teach children
to obey, we must do the following:
give the child independence, so he
may take care of himself; give him
self-control, help him to create abil-
ity for security and personal achieve
ment. In order to teach child obed-
fence, parents must have ideals for
their children. They should think the
situation out before spanking; con-
slant nagging will soon callous child.
"Take moment to explain to the
child the reason you do not want him
to do a certain thing he desires to
do. Children understand more than we
give them credit for. Do not brighten
child in order to gain discipline.
Do not break promises or tell secrets,
or they will soon lose confidence in
you. Give a child a niche in his home
so he may find security.
| when children act up or use bad
words in the home, we should ask
ourselves, as parents, where we have
made a misstep. Don't let anyone tell
you that your children are worse than
the neighbours, for all children act
alike.
"Help your children to learn good
manners and be patient, for it takes
time; avoid asking too much from a
child when he is tired and cross; b.
careful of interrupting play. Give him
time to finish what he is doing
make it a habit to say, Let's do
this and not Stop your play and
come here
Parents should take time to let
their children explain their problems.
When we punish, we must be fair, for
parents life is copybook for chill
dren under six years of age.
'The best award for child is the
approval of parent. Do not bride your
child but teach him to trust you at
all times.
"When children pass through the
age of adolescence, be very kind and
considerate, for it is. then that they
need your help most. Children like
excitement; they like to see you angry
and this is one of the reasons for their
disobedience. Don't forget that your
child's love for you will not be broken
ii you teach him obedience
Many questions were asked, and Miss
Barber was very willing to answer them
all.
Cookies and tea were served at the
close of the meeting.

The Modern School
PARENTHooD AS A PROFESSION
BY Mrs. M. d. WILKINSON
President, Washington Congress of
Parents and Teachers

i
which is the principal and best-known
expression of the home-school move
ment, has been developing for per-
iod of IS years. Until quite recently
we In the United States have con-
sidered this activity the result Of
American ingenuity and progressive
ness, but we now know that 1t is re-
ported as active in IS countries and
is doubtless existent in some form or
other in every civilized country.
The parent-teacher membership in
the United States is in excess Of mil
lion and half members in $4,000 To-
cal associations. Progressive organi-
cations are active in Alaska, Canal
Zone and Hawaii. In the state of
Washington there is membership
closely approaching 10000 in 600 local
associations.
The parent-teacher organization is
founded upon the belief that no insti-
tuition alone can carry the full res
possibility for the education of the
child, and that there must be full and
understanding cooperation between the
two institutions most affecting the
child's life and development if the best
results are to be obtained. That par
ents and citizens may better under
stand the aims and purposes of mod
ern education and the means used for
carrying out these ideas, fathers, moth
ers, neighbors and teachers meet tc
gether in this friendly organization at
least once every month.
Theodore Roosevelt once said that
every individual owed some of his time
to the upbilding of the profession to
which he belonged. The parent-teacher
association serves to give the parent
this needed opportunity Of study and
knowledge for the profession of par
enthood as we'll as to establish friendly
contacts with the parents of his child's
Schoolmates.
The parent teacher organization is
nom commercial, nOn-Sectarian an
non-partisan. Its membership repre-
sents a cross-section of community life
and no person is barred from mem
bership regardless of race, color, creed
or social or economic position One
important policy of the organization
is absolute non-interference with the
administration of the schools but CIV
ing always intelligent support to the
system.
Contrary to common misconception
the organization is not crusade tc
reform the schools and communities
nor is it a lyceum course offering en-
tertainment. 1t is simply a great
school for parents and teachers, neigh
bors and friends, with one major OBJ.
jective, to know the child and to prs.
tect and guard his interests. The par.
F., ent-teacher association thus aims tt
elevate parenthood to the dignity O.
real profession, requiring study anc
preparation. For this purpose every
efficient association has at least one
well-directed study class studying some
phase of child life. The parent-te
movement from the national congress
to the smallest local association is g
great school of adult education. II
offers opportunity for people to meet
together, think together, and act to-
gether in the consideration of all con-
ditions that have an influence upor
the lives of children.

A DUTY TO THE PUBLIC

Before raising taxes, government owes it to a
long-sufferng public to make every effort to
duce waste and inefficiency, and cut COSTS
1t is unquestionably true that the taxpayers
could be saved millions of dollars year without
damaging any legitimate function Of government.
They are looking to their senators and congress-
men to do just that.

Relocated Bread

Chemists studying staleness in
bread found that relocating bread re-
stores freshness temporarily, and the
process can be repeated as many as
seven times before the bread loses too
much moisture to benefit by heating.

How To Have A Safe
And Happy Christmas

ALLOW nothing to mai the
Christmas holidays urges the
National Safety council, which pre-
sents the following conditions:
Give your children all the toys
they need and all you can afford
but buy wisely. Be sure that tiny
tots aren't given small articles that
they can swallow or inhale. Look
out for pins in cheap dolls.
Youngsters love Christmas trees
but hundreds of fires take place
every year because of carelessness,
such as using candles; failure to
place the tree on a firm base and
using tissue or crepe paper for de-
corating purposes. Non-lnfEam-
mable snowhaakes should take
place Of paper and cotton. Electric
lamps should be substituted for
candles.
When trimming the tree, use 4
stepladder, not a rocking chair or
box.
Wrapping paper and cxcelsior
should be disposed of Immediately.
Dispose of the tree before the
second day of January, as when it
is dried out, it is highly inhamable.

Unto us a Child is born, unto us


Unto us a Child is born, unto US
Son is given.-lsaiah, SO.
We have been sitting here listen
ing to the radio. The dial we have
turned in every direction. The air
is filled with the same message.
North, south, east and west send
to us songs and carols and hymns
and sermons, all alike commemor-
ating the birth of Christ, Little
children everywhere are creeping
off to bed, SO good about it tonight
and older people are softly making
ready for tomorrow, and doing il
with the tenderest look upon their
faces-it is WONDERFUL, for just
now it would seem as if there were
nothing but goodness and kindness
and generosity and happiness upon
earth. And it is all made possible
because of the little child of long
ago of whom the prophets told.
We, who read this are for the
most part Christian people. We at
least aim at the Christian life of
love and fellowship. We claim Him
as our own. But what more con-
vincinp testimony could we offer
to those who do not know Him,
than to point to the world tonight,
aglow with evidence of the power
of the little Babe of Bethlehem:
Our faith has not quite grlpped us
with its marvellous power, but to-
night it's brighter and more pull
sating, because we have these past
few days given expression to it in
many ways, and we are glad, and
we shake off the hours of despond-
ency at the world around us, and
we lift up our eyes and view the
passing days with m1-e hopeful
hearts, because unto us a child
is born, Unto us a Son is given
What are some of the lessons of
Christmas Time? First, the lesson
of reverence.
When we think of the event
commemorated today, we are be-
tween two dangers. 1t may have
become a mere name and word,
conventionally accepted and re-
peated, but conveying no living
meaning to us, Or it may have come
with a fullness of meaning which
has COMPOUNDED our intellects, I'M
til we ask, as we'll we may, GLOW
can such things ,be?" Almighty
God made a little child? The In
finite and Everlasting born in
human flesh? 1t would be more
than overwhelming if we were
creatures of intellect alone. But
we are also creatures who, above
intellect, are endowed with powers
which know what it is to live, to
v~enerate, to rejoice and admire. A
nature which finds its highest ideals
among the regions of the afec-

A Sermon For Christmas

lions. God is Love. Love serious,
generous and self-sacrihcing
Therefore God SO loved the world
that He gave His only begotten
Son. Time and hurry and tn:
busy world too soon wear out the
impressions in our hearts and minds
tonight and we forget them, but
OF, if we could but have the true
meaning of what happened upon
this day. How can we adequately
bow down and adore its gracious
ness, its tenderness, which for us
surrendered all and accepted all:
The day is here and calls on us tc
think about it and try to measure
its ~unspeakable power for good.
"Who for us men and for our sal
walton came down from heaven
And hen a lesson of humanity.
The human mind n n con-
ceive of any abasement or any
willing surrender of place or pow,
er comparable to hat which is be-
fore us in the birth of Christ. The
measure of it is the measure of the
distance between creature ano
creator. There He was. For the
time, the youngest, the weakest
and the poorest of them all. And
He came thus to show what CO.
thinks of human pride, of human
ambition, of human loftiness. He
came thus to show what Coz
thinks of those who cannot be hap
py unless they have the high places
and chief rooms, and are miserable
when others are put before them
He came thus to show what God

exalted ideas about their own i'm

portance, their own wisdom and
attainments, and are unhappy and
disconnected unless they can force
their WI Interpretation of what
constitutes Importance upon 9TH
erS.
Let us, my dear friends, learn
this lesson of the Chrlsc Child. If
the Son of God can so humble
Himself as to come to earth from
His Fathers presence, and endure
to be born of lowly parents in
Bethlehem's stable, may not we
put our pride and arrogance and
selfhshness under our feet and i'm
itate Him Who came as a little
child to be the servant of all?
May something of the mystery
of it all steal its way into our
hearts ere we go to rest this night,
bringing with it something of rev.
erence and humility, something of
rapture and alteration something
of quiet peace and holy hope, be-
cause Unto us a Child is born, unto
us a Son is given and the govern
ments of the world shall rest upon
His shoulder, and His name shall
be called Wonderful, Councillor,
The Mighty God, The Everlasting
Father, The Prince of Peace.
