Lesson
Raises Fear
And Tension
Teacher Is Expected
to Supervise and
Make It Easy.
BY ANGELO PATRI.

WHEN a child begins something
w new everything depends upon a
good start. All children are afraid Of
new situations. Babies are afraid in a
strange room, afraid Of strange people.
The feel of something never felt be-
fore, the dogs back, the marble basin
frighten children for the instant.
Faced with a new problem all chill
dren are in a state of tension.
Fear causes tension and tension
breeds fear. We have to do our best
to avoid both. Make the first expert
ence easy and pleasant. 1t is not wise
to start by saying, Now you've never
done this before. Try hard and you'll
get it all right" That "try hard"
makes a child stiffen in every fiber
of his being. 1t makes him tense and
fearful. He will have difficulty in get
ting the new lesson.
As in every other field Of child
training, the first step must be made
by the teacher. She must prepare her
mind for the occasion. If she is doubt
full or afraid, if she breads this new
tension and at once become afraid.
The teachers mind must be sure and
strong, her plan well-laid, her faith
set when she starts a new lesson. Her
attitude inspires the pupil.
The first lesson must be a success
II. for example, the teacher wants a
child to learn a new basket stitch,
she starts the stitch, the pupils pulls
the reed through and feels he has
done we'll. Gradually the teacher does
less and the child more until he has
mastered the whole matter. The first
examples ought to be so easy that the
pupil can do them in his head. That
gives him a feeling Of mastery and
he goes ahead unafraid.
All Of us are touched with bit of
old-style conscience. Somehow We
teachers feel that unless we give a
child the hardest tasks he will not
get his due, and so never arrive at
full power in this subject, whatever
it is. 1 remember a teacher 1 had
long ago. I saw one Just like her
the other day. We had to begin long
division. The teacher showed us how
then she gave us an example that
reached across the slate and told us
to do it."
Very few OF us did II within the
week. 1t took most of us a month
to learn the process. I don't believe
I ever would have learned it had not
an older pupil found me struggling
with the thing and taught me what it
was all about. He gave me easy diW-
sion examples, so easy I did them
without working them out. Then he
set those easy ones down in the form
of long division, gradually he carried
me along until triumphantly slew
the dragon and presented his carcass
to the teacher, who put check mark
on it without ever knowing the battle
/ had waged Never since that day
have I looked at a long division eX-
ample without fear, the ghost that
haunted me all that dreary month.
Go easy when you enter new fields
with a child. Feel your way. Don't
plunge him into difficulties and tell
him to swim out or fail. A child's
failure is equally his teachers failure.
There isn't Q point in the course Of
study, not phase of life in the home.
that an intelligent child cannot learn
with pleasure, if it is presented to
him in the right way and time.

how much Of that was cream. Some
children. of course, drank every drop.
Others left a good deal in the bottle
as much as a third or more. The
average amount of "leavilgs" was
nearly per cent of the total amount
served the child.
THE worst of this was that of this
leftover milk, a considerable por-
ton was butter fat-as much as 16
per cent, and the child was deprived
of a great deal Of that valuable vita
min A, which cream contains.
Thus the answer, apparently, Is to
have the school children's milk homo
genized Some dairies already have
the machines and undoubtedly others
would install them if parents and
school authorities demanded it. 1t
would not pay dairy to homogenize
just few gallons a day, naturally,
but supplies for all city schools would
amount to a large order, and the
process could go on in connection with
the pasteurizing system. which is
common In most communities.
Here is what happens when milk is
homogenized: Cream contains the fat
OF the milk (butter fat in tiny glob-
ules, which are scattered all through
the milk when 1t comes fresh from
the COW. Even when a microscope is
used the globules are almost too small
to be seen, but they may be made
still smaller in the homogenizer,
where the milk is forced through tiny
openings under terrific pressure. This
leaves the little globuleS scattered
about through the milk instead Of al
lowing them to rise to the surface.
Thus liquid Of uniform Smoothness
and food value is obtained. Drinking
this, the children would be sure to
get all the vitamin A, fat, calcium
and so forth that makes milk such an
important food.
A MOTHER point which Is empha-
sized by the Bureau of Home
Economics is the necf ssity for a hot
midday meal for the school child.
Sandwiches and box lunches may be
prepared with a strict eye on the
diet balance, vitamin content, etc
but at least one hot dish should be
included every day. In cold weather
the child's digestive processes demand
the stimulation Of heat, and therefore
a hot drink or warm food OF some
sort is vitality important.
Most schools nowadays realize this
fact and plan their luncheon menus
accordingly. Mothers who send their
youngsters of to school with the Tin
dinner pail" should remember it, too.
and tuck a thermos of hot soup or
cocoa In with the bacon sandwiches
and shiny red apples. The child will
relish the rest of his meal far more if
his "tummy" has been warmed and
soothed by a good, nourishing, hot
liquid!

w WITH the first hint Of Au-
n tumn, which this year has
wv been an unusually broad
one. women's minds are
turning from the all-important sub
ject of the most painless way to &C
quire sun tan, to plans for the VIM
terS busy routine. These plans,
whether the ladies in question spend
their days in an active office or at
home worrying about Juniors report
card and the new maids perverseness.
inevitably include latent ideas for en-
tertaining. Since bridge parties are
often the answer to the hostess queS-
tion of how to do it most pleasantly
and easily, we have collected for her
delectation information on new bridge
accessories, which have SO much to do
with the success of failure of party.
One of the most important items to
get is, of course, tally about which
your guests can all exclaim enthusi-
astically. Among the most cunning
that we noticed was one you will find
sketched. 1t is oblong in shape and
depicts two elongated black hounds Of
doubtful species standing on their
hind legs, playing an apparently abb
sorbing game of bridge at a high
round table with pink and white cards.
Many sets come with matching
place cards, but newer combination
is matching tallies and match boxes,
They are in many styles, but some of
the most attractive ones are decorated
with a bit of bright cloth pasted on
the paper background. One particu-
larly appealing tally is adorned by an
fashioned girl whose dress and
large poke bonnet are of gay plaid
fabric. A smaller twin appears on the
match boxes, which come in sets of
two, four or eight.

-HE reason that there Is such an
appalling increase in the num-
Der of divorces is because
Il young people do not marry
for keeps nowadays They do not re-
gard marriage as the most binding
and lasting contract that human
being can make. They look upon
1t as a romantic adventure upon
which one continues if the path is
flower strewn, but from which one
turns back If it proves rocky road
to travel.
Nothing Is commoner than to hear
q girl or boy say: "Oh, I'll try mar
riage once, anyway. You don't have
to stick to it if you don't like it. -
And they don't stick to 1t If they
don't like it. They wreck their homes
with as little compunction as child
knocks down the house of cards 1t
has built. They rush to the divorce
court because they do not find each
other as glamorous as husbands and
wives as they were as sweethearts;
because they can't go to as many night
clubs; because they can't afford the
fine clothes and amusements they
were accustomed to; because they
don't like dishwashing and pushing
a perambulator; because they find
domesticity dull and boring; because
marriage limits their freedom and
cramps their style.
~
NOV marriage has always had every
~ one of these drawbacks. 1t has
always had its disillusions. No mar
riage has ever come up to expecta-
tions because husbands and wives are
lust men and women with their in
evitable faults and shortcomings and
not the pin-feathered angels and
noble heroes they appear during
courtship. Marriage has always been
full of work and sacrifices. Mar
riage has always had more duties
than thrills in 1t.
But our forefathers never thought
of such a thing as breaking up their
marriages because they did not turn
out to be all their fonest fancy paint
ed. It never occurred to them that
they could WEIGH on their matri-
monial bargains because they had got
tired of them and thought that. after
all, they would prefer being bachelors,
or follow q career to being married.
Nor did 1t enter their minds that
they could discard their husband or
wife because they saw some one who
looked better to them than their
present spouse. They had signed a
life contract for better or worse and
they did not break it except for the
gravest of reasons. Therefore, there
were few divorces.
The present generation, however,
does not look upon marriage in this
light. 1t regards the until death
do us part" vow as old stuff, as
archaic as an OK wagon. It mar
ries with one eye on the altar and
the other eye on the divorce court
and the thought in the back Of its
head that it will stay married only
as long as everything Is o. K.

find 1t pleasant and agreeable. as

new clothes or our new automobiles.
But If it doesn't come up to what II
was press-agented to be, out it goes
into the discard.
And this is why SO many marriages
are failures, as anything else would
be failure that you went into In that
spirit, trusting to luck and not to your
cwn effort and determination to make
q success. No general ever won a
victory who commenced his campaign
with the intention of running up the
white flag II the enemy put up any
fight. No professional or business
man ever achieved fame and fortune
who began his career with the thought
that he would chuck everything If he
encountered any difficulties.
On the contrary, those who succeed
in any line of endeavor are the men
and women who have determined to
make a 60 Of what they have under
taken and to let nothing discourage
them and no difficulty appal them.
They have set themselves to fight
through to victory, no matter how
long and hard the battle. They know
that in the beginning there will be
many drawbacks, many disappoint-
ments and disillusions, but they steel
themselves to endure them and so, at
last, they wrest victory out Of defeat.
n l.. -
A'A to the head of their professions
almost starved waiting for their first
clients and patients. Many a business
that was on the verge of bankruptcy
makes the man who had the patience
to nurse it along millionaire. But
the man who gives up when the
shedding gets hard is always sunk.
1t is because people do not go into
marriage with this door die spirit
that there are so many divorces. They
do not say: This is my lifework. This
Is the job I have chosen for myself.
This man or woman is the one whom
I picked out from all the world for a
wife or husband and I am going to
make a success Of my marriage de-
spite every obstacle, every discourage
ment.
No, they 60 into marriage half licked
already because they are thinking
that they will give it up If it doesn't
come up to their romantic dreams.
So when wife loses her looks or can't
make pie like mother, husband gets
bitter and disgruntled and knocks all
the underpinnings out of a happy
home. And when wife can't have all
the money she wants she puts on her
hat and starts for Reno.
They haven't the grit to take 1t,
and to make a success OF marriage
you've got to take 1t, and like 1t.

MANCHESTER, england, Feb.
%. (UP).-Three hundred dele
gates to the 18th annual congress

Britain. meeting in the council
chamber of the Hume Town hall,
put in three vigorous days lash
ing themselves for their shortcoim-
ings as "leaders of the revolu-
ton" in the United Kingdom.
This has been deliberate, not
accidental, due to the decision OF
the party executive to devote the
whole agenda to a frank discus
sion of the one question:: Are
we standing still, and II So
why?"
Thus the delegates came load
ed With speeches laying bare the
reasons for the failure of the ex-
IRENE left wing to make more
converts in the British working
class.
About the only cheerful note
struck in the three days of heart
searching was the speech VI Ihe
delegate from the Chelsea (Lon,
dom branch of the party who de-
clared that Fright under the sha'
dow of Mosley's barracks the
blackshirts have not succeeded In
holding a single street meeting
since we concentrated our shock
troops against them"
This was cheered.
However, it was pointed Out
that in the general election OF
