THIS LEISURE

4 SIDE from the lack Of work
n that Is causing so much idle
ness, there is a normal leisure that
has to be taken into account In plan
ming the children's education.
School does not take all of child's
time. Home can use very little of
it, as home Is organized today.
That throws the child back upon
himself for several hours daily.
Thomas, will you stop annoying
that dog? Let him alone. l can't
stand this barking and yelping and
chasing around another minute.
Take him outdoors If you want to
play"
Il don't want to go outdoors.
There's nothing doing"
"Then go do something useful.
A boy Of your age ought to be able
to do something better than monkey
with a dog or drum on the table"
Tell me something to do and
I'll do 1t. I'm sick and tired of
sticking around with nothing to do"
Read book. why don't your"
Read a book. Just as If hadn't
read a hundred books. l want to
have some fun. Tell me something
to do"
That something to do Is the be-
ginning and end Of our happiness
in this world. So long as we have
something to do we are willing to
live. When we have nothing to do
we have no will to live and that
makes for bitterness and despair.
We can save this generation from
that by training them to have some
thing they like to do.
All little children are active.
They never lack for something to
do, but more often than not, we
have to stop them. We cannot have
the house razed, the gardens ruined.
This Is no easy burden for par
ents to carry. What can they teach
children to do? Games come first.
Housework, garden work, shop
work; animals, collections, are next
In order. We begin close at home
and gradually extend the field of
activity until the child settles upon
something he likes to do. This is
not intended to be his life work. 1t
Is his hobby.
Let the little chap collect his
cards and his stamps; help the old
er one to follow his music, his
painting, his pottery. whatever his
hands find to do. You do not know
what good thing is to come of it.
You can be certain, however, that
1t is a good thing.

lie allowed the postmaster a min
ute to ENTER the office from the
rear before he used the front door.
A woman leaned over the counter,
beautiful in spite of her obvious
anxiety, but closer to thirty years
than twenty-five. Lacking a fresh
and unspoiled quality. her charm
seemed to Rankin unpleasantly di
luted by sOphiStication. CallOusness
was apparent In her full sensuous
lips and invitation. though without
sincere emotional warmth, In her
piercing black eyes. A wedding ring
glittered on her well-manicured left
hand.
Both her poise and her decorative
costume proclaimed her wealth and
position. But even the cOntrasted
colors of her dress seemed coarse
to the detective, and the earrings
she wore, ostentatious. AS though
hunting for particular mail box,
Rankin moved within hearing dis
tance.
The postmaster, holding an en-
velOpe In his hand, was saying, e..

CHILDREN
TRUSTWORTHY PARENTS
By ANGELO PATRI

a RE you trustworthy parent?
n | am not asking If you are
truthful and all that. | take for
granted that you meet your obliga-
tions and that you are sincere In
your relationships with your chill
dren as well as your nelghbors. But
dc the children feel that they can
trust you with their whole conf
dence?
You see, sometimes you are short
with a child. He comes to you when
you are busy. He begins to beat
about the bush In the hope of get
ting on your sunny side. You don't
feel like that and you snap at
him. What Is it you want, any
way?"
Nothing. l didn't want any
thing. l was just telling you"
In your irritation you miss that
Just telling yon." He wanted to
tell you something but he wasn't
quite sure of his reception. He felt
you out and you snapped. He re-
treated and held his own counsel.
That time he found you untrust-
worthy, you see. OF course, you
didn't know that 1t was important
But he doesn't know that you really
were friendly underneath, away
underneath. yOu see
At another time he told you a
secret. 1t was very childish secret
about a little girl in his class. He
rather liked her and he wanted to
give her something nice for her
birthday, and he asked you about
| 1t, and you promised to help. You
meant well about 1t. You enjoyed
this first glimmer Of his interest In
girls. 1t was so shy and so sweet
that you couldn't help smiling about
1t and telling it to Aunt Tillie, and
he happened along and heard you.
He was astounded. You see, he felt
that you had betrayed his conf
dence.
Maybe sometime one of the chill
dren got into trouble. He founders
into 1t because Of his ignorance and
lnexperience and his uncontrolled
impulse. He was frightened and
came to you with his difficulty.
You were so angry to think Of all
the trouble this thing was going to
bring to him and to you that you
lost your head and stormed like a
pirate. The child decided 1t was no
use TO look for help from your quar-
ter and left home. making a bad
matter worse.
The experiences children have
with US are what set their attitudes
toward us and other people.
No child ever grew up without
giving his people some trouble. The
trouble Is cleared away sooner, the
child redlrected earlier and with
greater certainty, II he found an
understanding mind and a helping
hand ready for him. Anger, fear.
selfishness, will drive children away
from US.
