IT'S RAINING

GIFTS raining. Mother, It's raining.
l Does that mean we can't go?"
"You certainly don't expect to go out
| in the rain? If 1t is raining you have
to stay in the house. That's ALL"
A groan runs through the anxious
group about the window. "Stay in all
day? What will we do?"
There are some rainy Saturdays in
every year and that means lot OF
disappointed children, for Saturday Is
their important day. They save up
their treats for that day, they look for.
ward to it all week, for weeks ahead.
A disappointment like rainy day is
no light blow to eager children.
Sometimes the rain need not inter-
fere. If the children were going to
the circus, let them go. The circus
in the rain is great fun. Usually. 1t
is under cover, anyway. Concerts.
plays, museum trips need not be af-
fected by the weather. The outdoor
trip, the picnic and the hike and the
week end camping may be impossible.
but sometimes there is chance even
for them. If there is, let them take it.
Getting a wetting is not going to
hurt healthy child. They are as wa
terproof as young ducks, provided they
are in good health and their clothes
are fit. There is beauty in rainy
day. The soft gray that wells the
world enchants it. The everyday
tn1, ir Nf
smells and the feels of a rainy day
are welcome variety in the children's
experiences. 1t would be pity to de-
prive them of the delights that the
rains bring.
The drip of the rain from the trees,
the echoing voices, the soft thud Of
footsteps on fallen leaves, the smell of
earth that lies open to the meat and
drink that the season is Offering, the
colors and the atmosphere of all our
days offer something precious and last
ing to the children who can enjoy
them.
don't like TO teach children that
rainy day checks, them completely. 1t
may not be wet enough to change their
plans. If rainy day outfit will settle
the difficulty let them put 1t on and
90 ahead. If 1t Is too heavy a rain
use one of the alternatives you have
had in mind. Instead of the outdoor
excursion make 1t an indoor one to
some interesting place. Help them to
use the rainy day and enjoy it.
The weather does not hurt healthy
children. Dress them to meet 1t. In
stead of dressing them by the calendar,
nse the thermometer. A sweater can
be worn with comfort on d cool day
and laid aside with perfect safety on
the following warmer day. We master
the weather. We like It. We enjoy
the changes in color and atmosphere
and temperature that 1t brings. Who
wants to be afraid Of rainy day2

has learned. He repeats his rules.
brushes up his tables, does the prob
lens once more. This Is an essential
step in his learning. 1t makes for
thoroughness. for one thing. Our
minds often trick us. We think we
know fact very well. 1t has pleas
ant familiar feeling as we remember
it in passing, ooh, l know that" says
the child, and goes on. The wise teach
er doesn't stop with that. She says,
"Good. Tell me all about it." Oftener
than not the pupil is dismayed to find
that this thing he knew so well slips
from his grasp when he tries to lay
hold of it. He hesitates. stammers
and fidgets and finally says, II knew
that just as we'll as my own name and
l couldn't say it,"
He didn't know it as we'll as he knew
his own name. His name has been
used so often that it has become a
part of himself. The fact that slipped
into the haze when he tried to hold
it had not been used often enough, had
not been knitted into the fabric of his
thought. To make an idea part OF
ones thinking one must work it, knead
it into his mind by repetition and use.
Repetition alone will not help
child to knowledge. 1t Is not enough
to repeat words, accurate though they
may be. That Is only one form of an
idea, its thinnest, most elusive and de-
ceptive form. To grasp its values and
make them useful to our thinking we
have to know the idea in many forms
in action, in association with other
things.
A child learns that river is
stream Of water running down hill to-
ward the sea. Suppose he never saw
the boats carrying their loads up and
down its course, never saw the farms
turn green and bear their harvests be-
cause of its beneficent watering, never
noted the difference its drainage meant
to the nearby uplands-how much does
he know about q river? We begin
with the word but the word must be
clothed and made manifest before
| child knows much about it.
| When you are trying to help child
review subject, instead Of hammer
| ing on the set word, try to get new
view of it by helping the child to lind
new associations for it.
| A review ought to be the old idea
with some additional sidelignts. If the
pupil Is not interested in the idea the
review won't help him at all and the
way to interest him is to call up other
ideas in support of the original fact.

IHE HAMA GROSS TRICK

Greetings, Sahib! This is the Llama Cross Mystery which was disclosed to me by Llama monk in far-off Thibet and which I will now teach to you so you may mys- tify your friends to their delight and entertainment.
 TT was camped at the trail side on the way to Llassa having my nooday meal when a Thibetan monk approached me. Courteous iy I invited him to share my meal, which he did.
 After we had eaten, he drew a small, charred ember from the fire and with 1t drew straight line on the palm of his hand. Turning his hand, knuckles upward, he drew a straight line on the back of his hand. Then slowly he rubbed, with his other hand, the line he had drawn on the back of his hand un- til 1t had entirely disappeared. Turning his hand, palm upwards. he showed me the line he had drawn on the back of his hand, making a perfect cross with the line on his palm!
 You, too, can mystify your friends with the Llama Cross Mys- tery as does Chandu, the Magician of the air. Char a bit of cork with q lighted match and draw a short line on your palm paralleling one of the lines on your hand. On the back of the hand draw another line

''BIue Danube" Waltz
 By Dancing Strings

The favorite waltz of all time, the "Blue Danube, will recapture all of its romantic appeal when Leonard Joys Dancing Strings play 1t tonight at 9:30 o'clock. b. Joys arrangement for strings tlone gives 1t the old-time charm which made 1t universally loved, and at the same time adds a fresh rhythm that makes 1t irresistible to modern dancers.
 The Dancing Strings, 0 wlde- awake ensemble of violins. 'cellos, yiolas, pianos, celesta and belts, brings q new interpretation of to- days tempos as well as old favor- ites which Leonard Joys large radio audience finds refreshingly different. While none of the speed of modern dance music is sacrificed by the elimination of the more raucous instruments, its softness gives it an added appeal.
 Joy obtains striking musical ef- fects in his series of dance pro- grams played by an all-string orr chestra, due to 0 large part to the unique score required for such Q group. Even in @ tune from the la test musical comedy, the blending of the instruments and Joys adap- tations give new color and variety to the melody. The sweep of the violins and the organ-like effect of tho 'cellos account for the soothing quality, while the, two pianos, vibraphone and the pizzi- cati of the first fiddles lend the required speed and verve.
 Joys music has pep and origin ality--and m effect of dreamy TO- nance, too; while older listeners find 1t restful and reminiscent of other days. While Joys adaptations are jazz in the softest sense of the term, they are nevertheless quite as capable of stirring the dancing blood as are the more virulent types of "hot" music.
 In the Dancing Strings program for tonight, Joy has included, in addition to "The Blue Danube' selections from "The Band Wagon" Dancer in the Patio; Romance, from Cameo Kirby; numbers from Good News and "Fine and Dandy"; "By the River Ste. Ma rie", and "The Old Refrain.
