OUR CHILDREN
BY ANGELO PATRI.
Summer Camp.


ACH year somebody asks, els
l. Summer camp a good thing for
children?" and always have to
IL say that same thing In response.
"A Summer camp Is fine place
for a child provided 1t Is the best
possible camp for your particular child: :"
children. Some are good for some
children, some are good for no children
at all, being insanitary, selfish. sort
Of second-rate boarding place Tor
children whose people wanted to be
free of them with a clear conscience
I am sorry that such camps exist, but
now and then one discovers one and
so is on guard when the time comes
around for selecting the camp for the
season.
I would make it rule not to send
child to a camp that I had not
visited more than couple Of times. 1t
is not enough that you know the d.
rector to be a fine human being who
likes children. What else Is he? Does
he know about sanitation? Does he
safeguard the water supply and how?
Who are the counselors and how does
he get them? What is the diet? How
is the food selected and stored? How
is it cooked? I have seen beautiful
vegetables ruined by an incompetent
cook. How about the milk supply? Is
rest time truly rest time? In short, Is
this place the sort of home in which
you want your child brought up? 1t Is
only when you can answer 'yes" to this
question that you are justified in send
ing your child to that camp.
Camps for the most part are fine
places for children. They offer a new
environment for tired children. Strange
as 1t seems to us, the children grow
tired of us, of home and school and
the routines they set. They welcome
escape from the old familiar faces, the
old familiar voices and the well-known
restraints and cautions.
"Of course, I know I'm not to do
these things, but I get awfully fed up
hearing about them over and over"
said a home weary child. If mother
doesn't mention them dad does and If
he should happen to forget me for
minute there Is always Cram or Auntie
or Miss Bruce. It would be nice to get
away for a time where nobody knew
that whipped cream disagreed with me,
that / was inclined to bite my nails
that unless 1 worked overtime / would
never pass In math, and that if
skipped my dancing lesson I'd certainly
grow up rcund-shouldered and slouchy.
I'd like to have something new to do
instead of going to school. taking my
music and dancing. going to church on
Sunday and to grandmother's on Fri
day night. listening to the radio and
going to the movies once a month. I'd
take nv chances on remembering about
those things. Believe me, I'm fed up
on it all"
Such children as these. and there
are many of them, benefit by Summer
at a coed camp. The new routine
stimulates them into fresh activity of
body and mind They forget about the
habits they have formed in an effort
to comfort themselves. They take on
new vitality and establish new habits.
They return after the season. eager for
home and school. at peace with all their
world.
They return in better mood and
being, provided-and this is OF primary
importance-the camp is the right camp
for them. That Is matter for father
and mother to consider with the utmost
care.

Everyday Psychology
BY DIR. JESSE w. SPROWLS.
A Real Pessimist.

One of my readers has sent me
second. request for my opinion of the
psychological makeup of a real pessi
mist Specifically he wants to know
the attributes of a pessimistic mind"
I am at once tempted to turn to
the intimitable Mark Twain, who wrote
somewhat as follows concerning the
pessimist: "Only an idiot can live to
be 40 and not become pessimist." In
this connection I also recall that
psychological examiners have often re-
marked that feeble minded persons are
likely to be good natured and opti-
mistic.
Putting these two observations to-
Rether, one might conclude that intel
1igence Is one Of the mental traits of
. pessimist. But I'm not sure Check
this conclusion by referring to your
own experience.
I suggest second trait of the pessi-
mistic mind which seems to me to be
somewhat nearer the truth. Real pessi-
mists are stubborn. They cling to their
outlook on the world with the same
tenacity that king holds to his throne.
A pessimist is one who puts high price
On his own opinions.

How he had spent the Winter was
a mystery to his neighbors. He had
been fat, so fat he could hardly walk

He was SO thin that he would declare

MY Dear Mrs. Post I have friend

LITTLE BENNY
BY LEE PAPE.

Today finished Paul Poppy Among
the Bush Rangers so I went on with
The Life of James B. Kunkle on &C.
count of not having anything elts to
reed, and after supper pop was smok-
ing and thinking in his private chair
and I said, Did every rich man use
to be a poor boy once, like James B.
Kunkle, pop?
A boy with a rich father may be a
success in life, but the chances are
against him, SO you may consider your
self among the lucky ones, pop said.
Meening on account of him not be-
ing rich, and said, Well your father
wasn't rich, either, was he, pop?
Well no, quite the reverse, unfor-
tunately, or fortunately for me, mean
to say, pop said, and I said. But G.,
pop, then why aren't you rich If you
had a poor father and it's sippose to
be so lucky?
Well ah, that's a fair question, and
perhaps the anser is If was rich then
you wouldn't have the advantage of
having a poor father, and I want you
to have every advantage that life can
offer, pop said, and said, Well James
B. Kunkle says that bizzness should
always come before plezZure, and he
says that's always been his motto and
he says that's why he's the president of
the Kunkle Canning Company with
factories in 9 countries, and every FAM
lily in the world opens at least one
Kunkle can day according to statis-
tics.
I can picture them doing it, a grace
full site, pop said. So I want you al
ways to remember that, bizzness before
plezzure, he said, and I said, Did you
always remember it, pop?
I surely did, and still do, pop said,
and I said, Well then gosh, why aren't
you the president of the Potts Canning
Company and put the Kunkle Canning
Company out of bizzness. I bet you're
smarter than James B. Kunkle judging
by his picture, I said.
Thank you very much, but bizzness
is a peculiar thing and must be at
