Colonel Cabot and his regiment

Aid to Memory

A Scottish friend submits this rime
of his childhood to help modern chill
dren to remember the order of the
books of the New Testament-pro-
vided any modern child is interested:
Herein are twenty-seven tracts:
Saints Matthew, Mark, Luke, John
and Acts;
Romans, Corinthians and the Gauls,
Ephesians, Philippians and the Coils;
Thessalonians, Timothy, T-i-t-u-s.
Philemon, Hebrews and st. James the
Less;
Two by st. Peter and three by ST.
John,
One by ST. Jude, and the Revelation.
For the benefit of those not quite
so familiar with the New Testament
as they might be, we add the foot
note that "Gauls" refers to Gala
tians, and "Cols" to Colossians.-"F.
p. A." in New York World Telegram.

THE CONTRARY CHILD

ICHHDREN who are contrary and
~ stubborn are a great trial to
their mothers and teachers. When
one comes along the best thing to
do is to study him to learn the Sc
cret of his affliction, for an afflic-
tion it certainly is. A contrary child
is unhappy and an unhappy child
does not grow either in mind or
body as he ought.
When a child says, II won't" !"
whether in words or actions does
not matter-he closes his mind and
sits inside In the darkness of his
anger and fear. You never meet the
one without the other. Anything
that brings fear brings anger with
ii. They are twins. Until we can
help the child free himself of the
| fear he cannot come out and play.
He is a prisoner to his fear, or as
we are terming it now, his stub
| bornness.
Children who are not certain
about their power to do what is
asked of them are likely to balk.
They have not the power of Ian
guage to tell US all they are feeling.
We have to win him to trust and
confidence before he will venture
another step.
We cannot accomplish this by
scolding and shaking and slapping.
Wait until you can see this fear rid
den, obstructed child, closed in the
darkness of his Uniformed mind, wait
until you are sorry for his plight
and desire to help him, before you
speak or move.
Then, take a good look at him. If
he seems to be enjoying his con-
trary disposition say, very calmly,
with assumed indifference, "Very
well. You needn't" and occupy
yourself to the exclusion of him and
his deeds. Find something interest
ing to do so that his eyes follow you
and he longs to be at it too. When
he sidles along to you and says, "Let
me, let me-" be gracious, but not too
effusive, and say, IF you like" and
let him. In his interest and enthusi-
asm he will be released from his
bonds and go merrily for a time.
If he has an attack at danger
Gus time, when he wants to do what
will hurt him, OF refuses to do what
will save him, and your hands and
heart are full, hold on to your reas-
on, pick him up firmly, without an
ger, and put him where you want
him to be. If he has a tantrum
reach for a bowl of cool water and
douse him with it until his mood
changes But never lose your own
control.

OUR
CHILDREN
"YOU DO 1T"
By ANGELO PATRI

HA/HAT are you making all the
w fuss about, Dick? You can
tie your shoe If you want to-"
"No, / can't 1t won't tie for me" "
Nonsense. Any shoe will tie for
you if you tie it. You get right
down to it and tie it."
Il can't. 1 did try. It's too hard
for me-"
ut isn't hard. It's easy enough
once you set your mind to it."
as it easy?"
"Yes. Easy as can be-"
"Then you do it. It's hard for
me-"
Things that are easy to us are
difficult for children. They have to
make an effort to adjust their
muscles for the task. They have to
think about and direct every move.
A wrong motion, and it is easy for
a child to make one, sends a whole
series of movements the wrong way.
Dick was passing his shoe string
over instead of under and that made
1t impossible for him to tie the knot.
As soon as that one motion had been
set right he tied the knot easily.
Some children tire sooner than
others. For them effort is annoy
ing. They will escape it if they can
and if they form the habit of call
ing for help at the first sign of
trouble they will not gain power.
Let the child try to do his job.
When he cries for help hold your
head. Watch what he does and find
the difficulty. Set that right, en-
courage him to go ahead. He needs
help over the hard place but he
needs to go the rest of the way him
self.
1t helps a child to see grown-up
people do the things they expect
little ones to do.
What you would have the children
do and think easy to do, you should
do yourself. If you want them to
speak softly and go gently you must
speak and move with gentleness. If
you want them to be well hammered
you must practice being good man
nered on all occasions. They will
have to hear you say, How do you
do?" 81 am sorry to disturb you"
Won't you have this chair? l think
you will be more comfortable" be-
fore they say 1t.
Telling or showing once is not
enough. You must show many. many
times for the one telling. Show by
your own conduct that the thing
you wish the child to do is easy for
you to do and he will have more
faith in its being possible for him.
Then make 1t easy for him to do
by providing the right atmosphere.
A child cannot be patient in an
atmosphere Of impatience. he can
not be gentle and well hammered in
an environment that is neither the
one nor the other. Make things easy
for him and he will find them so.

lar masculine dinner-table standby,
are thus dealt with by an authority
on the subject:
Discussion waxed hot the other
evening among a group of men and
women, and what do you think Ii
was about?-not the depression or
the war in China but about food
The food that created the greatest
discussion was the well-knowD steak.
Each of the men was convinced that
he could cook steak better than any
one else in the world.
There was the man who uses char
coal briquets in the fireplace for the
two-inch steak. which he brings forth
black but not burned on the outside.
rare and juicy inside. and covered
with a quarter pound of butter for
sauce. There was the other man
who uses the coal furnace for broil-
ing but insists that no butter should
be added to obscure the natural
flavor. There was the man who.
lacking other facilities, is perfectly
satisfied with his electric broiler.
He scores with roquefort cheese.
A woman contributed a more elab-
crate method which included small
tenderloin for each person. This is
surrounded by a ring Of bacon. The
steak itself is covered with minced
garlic and chill sauce with a dash
of worcestershire and is then baked
in a very hot oven. Another woman
told about the "cubed' round steak
cut into pieces for serving and
broiled quickly under a very hot fire.
This steak is prepared by the butch
er. who uses a machine which cuts
the connective tissues and thus en-
ables US to broil the less expensive
cuts of meat. At this special butcher
shop, steak of this type costs about
cents a portion.
There were further points of dis
cussion in regard to sauces
whether they should be used or not.
and If so, what kind. The favorites
were parsley-lemon butter (maitre
d'hotel sauce) and bernaise, that
variation of hollandaise and whipped
cream with horseradish To this last
l like to add some scraped apple.
Discussion about sauces is often
inconsistent. find that many per
sons who scorn sauce for meat de-
mand the ketchup or chilli sance bot
tie to cover the steak at the table.
and the mustard jar as often. BY
the way, a mustard butter sauce is
delicious with either meat of fish.
particularly like it with hamburg
steak.
Onions and mushrooms are also
delicious accompaniments for steak
whether you call them sauce or not.
You may smother" the onions or
french fry them. Baked raw sweet
onions of the Spanish type are de
licious arranged in overlapping lay
ers on the broiled steak before it
comes TO the table.
However you cook steak it must
have very hot fire for it's cooking
and must be turned often. If you
lack broiler. heat heavy frying
pan very hot. grease it little with
piece of the fat from the meat.
scar the steak quickly on both sides
and turn often. After it is almost
brown enough, lower the heat slight
ly. AS fat cooks out, it must be
poured off so that the pan keeps as
dry as possible. Personally. | will
eat with delight steak, properly
cooked in the first place. with or
