YOUR CHILDREN By Olive Roberts 6srton

CHILD TRAINING CONTROVER- SHE'S CONFUSE PARENTS ON
 METHODS.
By Olive Roberts Barton

By Olive Roberts Barton
 Another war is setting its guns across the No Mans Land of child controversy.
 A well-known educator recent ly issued q list of ten bylaws to parents concerning certain dog and "donts" to be observed In the home.
 Reaching for his binoculars the head of an experimental school for children challenges the gentle- man:
 "Better stop that" he warns. WE have just about ceased tell ing parents what to do. It's all wrong. They are confused. Let parents alone." :. Which echoes what I remarked Il year ago when I wrote, "AH | the science is doing is catching up to sensible mothers. Yet these same confused mothers are hys- terically rushing to psychology books to catch up with science" By-Laws Are Simple. However, there are still some things to be said.
 The ten by-laws referred to above are quite simple things - things any sensible mother or father would do anyway, such as not making promises to child and habitually breaking them.
 "Do not ridicule child" con- tinues Dr Harrington, secretary or the Special1School Association or the United States.
 Avoid being domineering.
 DO not spoil your child by over-indulgence. "Listen to your child seriously without condescension.' And so on.
 And as experimental schools base their own methods of hand ling on these very things, 1t is in- teresting to hear them refuted as being too complex for the home. COmpulsiOn Is Needed. While I foresaw the need of the new type of school and urged cer- tain changes in a too-military public system, I have wondered since if some of the extreme new. methods now in use have not Jumped too far over the fence. and whether the children learning through interest" rather than "compulsion" will emerge with all the assets needed for q stiff life ahead, a life where MPST under lies about 90 per cent of what do do. In other, words, is there too little regimentation in some of the experimental schools and too, much in the average public schools?
 However that may be, 1t appears to me that these two leaders are actually on the same side of the fence, their goal being the better understanding of children.
 The only difference is that one says, "Lct the home help" The other insists, Let the school do it."
 Several Schools of Thought.
 Yet Dr Chworowsky of the Falk Experimental School in Pittsburgh is right when he says that tho parents are puzzled. After all there is not one, but there are sev- eral schools of thought in child handling. The mother who knows .too much" or thinks she does, Is worse off than the one who knows too little. We all know the mother who lives with her nose in some guidance book or other and frank ly makes her children into perl ments.
 The unfolding of little child's mind and a knowledge of his nat ural development won't hurt any sensible parent and is a real help. But the interpretation of psychol- .ogy, as such, is best left to the professional. Simple home rules are another thing.

GLORIFYING
 YOURSELF Eey Alicia Hart 2E
0R5IM NEE szJNEE KK

To reduce hips and waistline and to make your legs and backbone Timber and supple, Jac Auer sug- gests a variation of the old higb scissors exercise with which you're probably quite familiar. This is done with the weight on the pacK of the neck and that fatty spot be- tween your shoulder blades.
 Lie flat on the floor with hanof on the hips. Extending the legs straight up, raise your hips orr tns floor, balancing yourself witn arms and elbows. Now, hoidine the right leg perfectly straight, force the left one up and over your head until! toes touch tho floor. Hold the position a second, then relax and force the left leg back and up until it's parallel with the right one. Reverse, keeping the left leg straight-toes pointing toward the ceilirg-and forcing the right leg over your head until the right foot. touches the floor. Once you thave learned how to balance your self. do the exercise more rapidly, using first one leg and then the other and making the toes on each touch the floor beyond your head ten times.
 Remember that any exercise should be done slowly until you have mastered the technique. If you practice 1t too fast at first, the chances are you'll always do 1t in- correctly.
 This is particularly true when you do bending routines to reduce your, stomach and improve the shape of the legs. If you can't lean over and touch the floor with lngertips while holding knees per- fectly straight, by all means do not fex the knees in order to get your hands down to the floor. Just keep on trying--day after day--and right, thereby getting full benefit fyoy,o tho axarcfap.

HORSERADISH PROVIDES KICK AS SEASONING
Lends Itself to Unusual Colnbina.
 tiOns
aBY MARY F. DAGUE NEA Service Stan Writer


 Discovered whole flock of new ways to use horseradish the other day and was glad as glad! Because there's a kind of tonic tang to the seasoning that like at this time of the year. Did you ever try horseradish sauce, hot or cold, with boiled fish ? It's nice. Horseradish helps certain veal, pork and ham dishes, too. And as for many of our best-known vegetables, you'd hardly recognize them with, little grated horserad- ish on them. Try that with spin ach for instance, or green beans.
 Four tablespoons of prepared horseradish added to two cups of rich cream sauce does things for steamed fish. Make the sauce thicker than usually wanted for serving because the horseradish will thin it.
 Horseradish cream and horse- radish butter are delicious with roast beef, roast veal, baked ham and broiled fish. An attractive way to serve with baked ham for party when the plates are served in the kitchen is to put it in q lemon cup. and sometimes l freeze the cream.
 HOrscradish Cream
 One-half cup whipping cream, tablespoons prepared horse rad ish, tablespoon prepared mus tard, 1 teaspoon sugar, IA tea spoon salt.
 Chill all ingredients as well as bow1S and beater. Whip cream until firm. Add remaining ingredi- ents and serve or put in freezing tray and freeze.
 Horscradish Butter
 One. half cup potter, 2 table spoons fresh grated horseradish, 1 table spoon lemon juice, l tea spoon sugar, 1-2 teaspoon salt.
 Mix fresh grated horseradish. uemon juice, sugar and salt. Work butter with fork until creamy. Beat in horseradish mixture and continue beating until thick and white.
 Cottage Pudding With Maple
 Four tablespoons butter, 1-2 cup granulated sugar, egg, 1-2 cup milk, 1 1-2 cups flour. 2 1-2 tablespoons baking powder, 1-4 teaspoon salt, halves of canned peaches.
 Sauce: Whites ? eggs, s-4 cup mable syrup.
 Cream butter and gradually beat in sugar. Stir in 2 1-2 cup sifted flour and add egg we'll beat en. Mix and sift remaining flour, salt and baking powder and add alternately with milk to first mix ture. Put peachesjn a well buttered shallow baking dish, pour over butter and bake in a moderate even (375 degrees F.) for thirty minutes. Cut in squares and serve warm with maple sauce. To make sauce beat whites or eggs until stiff. Cook syrup until 1t forms a soft, ball when few drops are tried in cold water or II you use a trehmometer it should register 23s degrees r. Add syiup gradually to egg whites beating constantly.

Mr. Young unfortunately does understand that
radically different conditions prevail among the employees Of
Ohio and the employees of Uncle Sam.
employees of Mr. Youngs State have their employment

It, therefore, follows that they not forced to give their

Necessarily this ism true of Federal employees the large

They cannot leave restrictions imposed by the

HOPE EVER THERE
There it all is-and there
YOU are! For in discovering
the jungle for you, Tomlinson
has also given you news Of your
own dark and tangled self. One
passage stands out:
1.-THE roof of the world was
far away. Somewhere was the
sun, for occasionally there was
we'll which its light had filled,
and a grove of green palms,
standing at the bottom of the
well, living and reasonable
shapes.
"Or one of the morphos "a
rare butterfly would flicker
among those spectral bastionS,
aerial and bright as a fairy in
Hades. The sombre mind caught
it at once, an unexpected CLEAN
of hope, a bright blue thought
to set among ones shapeleSS

How often for you, too, in the
Jungle of some dark grief or
despair, the roof of the world
has seemed far away and the
sun tragically remote! Perhaps
it is so even as you read this.

23,570,00O are in the elementary
grades. Educators agree that
the early plastic years are the
most important, and their con-
centration now is more on the
youngsters than on pupils OF the
higher grades. Just in passing,
they wrecked at Lyme, Conn, a
moldy old schoolhouse which
had been in continuous use for
100 years.
But all this isn't quite so rosy
as it seems. There are through
out America a great many rural
districts which are getting on
nicely with their little roadside
schoolhouse. and the drive to
wreck it and join with a larger
district makes trouble and con-
tention. This may be illustrated
by the story of an unincorpo-
rated village which I happen to
know about within an hours
train ride from New York.
They have a tidy little two
room schoolhouse for the ele'
mentary grades, which is about
80 years old, but still in good
repair, well lighted, heated and
ventilated. There are two teach
ers, old-time school ma'ams they
are. who have been the job
for about 20 years. They are
thoroughly competent, old-faSh-
Toned teachers, and their grad
yates have made much better
records at the big high school
two miles away than have the
graduates Of much more preten-
tious schools.
PROUD OF RECORD
There is an up-and.comlng
element in the town which
wants to wreck the school and
build a new one, or else cart
the children to the quite mod
ern and imposing school which
serves the larger district. The
village iceman told me his side
of the story, and, offer it for
its pertinence in the louder and
