BY ANGELO PATRI,

HE boys on the playground use
dreadful language. And the girls
are not backward on occasion. I have
disciplined them, made them wash out
their mouths, kept them in, given
them bad marks for conduct and un-
less am standing right there, they uss.

1t seems to be their natural yocabu-
larry" :
The playground teacher was trou-
bled by the language the boys used
when they played ball. They called
each other lurid names, they used
strong words to express their disap-
proval of bad play, they appealed to
high heaven in behalf of this or that
so that the air rang with uncouth and
irreverent phrases.
AS he said, discipline was Of little
good. For the time the lads were in
convenienced and put out Of sorts, but
the discipline over they began where
they had left off, usually with re-
newed vigor. Their recent misfortune
added fire to the flame Of their pro-
test. Something had to be done.
Giant words and phrases hurled at so
slight thing as a muffed ball was all
out Of proportion.
After much thought the playground
master decided to organize a club. He
baited his hook with games. And uni.
forms. That meant contests. He
added offices Of honor. Badges. Pro-
motions from the ranks meant stars
and bars on the gaudy badges. And
one OF the simple little rules prohibited
careless language. One OF the honors
was given for clean, clear speech. It
worked.
Direct attack on any schoolboy-or
girl-fault is not likely to succeed.
Any open attempt to make them live
up to a standard Of goodness, espe-
cially goodness that is allied to NOR
ality, is certain to be condemned as
sissy. One must deal with such points
with roundabout discretion. Slip it in
along with something strong enough
in its appeal to carry the burden Of
goodness
Not that children hate goodness.
They are in themselves essentially
good. Their conscience is sensitive.
They shrink from any display of emo

his spiritual life and he cannot bear
the pressure. Don't exert 1t, If you
can possibly avoid it.
Deal with ethical questions in

rules of behavior under cover of activi-
ties that healthy children enjoy. Have
no fear that they will not get your

Discussion and Comment Subjects Interesting Washington Woe
People Who

BY LYDIA LIE BARON WALKER.

BY LYDIA LIE BARON WALKER.
WHAT would you 90? This Is
good question to ask when you
listen to the complaints Of others
about how things are run, or how
people have acted under difficulties, or
hear criticisms of state or national
affairs, or derogatory remarks about
MANAGEMENT of home, family, or COM
n,unity affairs, etc. Find what solu-
tions the critical person has to offer.
1t is amazing the willingness with
which people will find fault about
such matters without having the
faintest idea of what they would do
II they found themselves in similar
position. I have seen complainers
completely fiabbergasted when con-
fronted by the question. what would
YOU do?" or, what would you have
done?" if you had been placed in
such a position or predicament?
There is a strange willingness in
people to censure the actions of others,
and a consummate inability to know
how they would have handled such
situations or what they would have
done. Because of this, trouble and
unhappiness spread, and problems OF
minor or major Importance are no
nearer being solved.
It is the person who knows what
to do who seldom finds the fault, or
the one who has the rare gift OF being
able to put himself, in imagination.
in the same place. 1t is only wnen
one has the understanding to appre-
ciate that there would be difficulties
that cannot be known to outsiders, or
hampering actions of others when the
affairs are worldwide or other eX-
tenuating circumstances that in
nuence decisions, that she can Judge
with any degree of rightness.
It is well for each of US to ask our
selves the same question, what would
I have done?" when we are prone to
be critical. The question is a poser.
1t brings us up with round turn.
Immediately we begin to discover the
difficulties that could come in the way,
or the disastrous effects on others OF
certain actions which seem reasonable
to us when we are not in the position.
One thing we all can do Is to put
the question, what would you do?" to
those who find the fault, or to our
self, what would I do?" 1t sets the
mind to work, with the good result that
each gets less critical unless one is
totally lacking in human sympathy
or understanding, or is so soured in
disposition that normal judgment is
dead The questions are like medi-
cines which stop the spread Of disease,
since they have the same tendency to
prevent the spread of derogatory COM
ments.

a savory stew, and she practically
never has a large roast that can be
sliced hot, then cold, then minced, and
then used for soup from day to day.
Also, she is unable to use foods that
must be cooked long and slowly-she
has no time to watch them or to wait
for them to attain perfection. Nor
can she afford the cost of the fuel
necessary for such performance.
For such a situation, the prepared
L foods, the canned vegetables and
soups and the services Of the
corner bakery are the only solu-
ton. There are so many good
things these days that come out OF
cans and jars that delicious and
healthful meals may be prepared from
them with relatively little waste of
time. Also, FOR the woman living
alone. who has, perhaps, digestive
system that demands carefully cooked
nursery" fare, the ready-prepared
babies foods that are to be found in
all good shops are a boon indeed.
Thus she ma have her cooked cereal
for breakfast IN the mornlng-Sne may
get her vegetables and fruits cooked
and pureed to perfection-with no
trouble to her other than purchasing
and bringing home the tiny individual
jars.
With the coming of hot weather,
another condition demands the close
attention of the kitchenette house
keeper. Goodness knows when she
comes home tired from a day in the
Office heat she doesn't feel like light
ing even one burner on top of the
stove and filling her little apartment
with an added wave of hot air. So
she must rise a bit earlier in the
morning and prepare one or two
dishes especially good for warm
weather which will do their own cook
ing" In the refrigerator while she is
gone all day. Then when she returns
all she has to do is to open the icebox

On the other hand, the feminine
optimists aver that it will make for
domestic harmony for men to have
some first-hand knowledge of the work
involved in cooking three meals a day
and keeping a house clean and orderly,
and rearing pack of children. They
say that after man has got up at 6
o'clock and cooked breakfast, and got
the children of to school, and fixed
the baby's bottles, and cleaned the
house up again after the children,
then cooked dinner and cleaned the
house up again and sat down to a
basket of mending, he would never
again say, as so many husbands do,
that he wished he could take it easy
as his wife does.

cational colleges an unprecedent-
edly large number of young men
i students are taking the domestic
science course and learning how
to cook and sew, and plan menus with
the proper proportion of vitamins and
calories, and tell the difference be-
tween Spring lamb and old sheep
dressed up to look like its grand
children.
According to Holy Writ, a serpent on
a rock and the way of a man with
maid are mysteries beyond all
fathoming, and so this new move Of
the boy friend in going domestic has
the girls guessing. They don't know
whether it means that in the future
husbands are going to lend an expert
hand with the housework or whether
they are fitting themselves to do their
own cooking and sew on their own
buttons and pass up matrimony alto
gether. In a word, they don't know
whether they are to have better
husbands or no husbands at all, and
one set of probabilities is as likely as
the other.
THE feminine pessimists say that it
bodies women no good for men
to make themselves independent OF
womanly ministrations. They contend
that it has always been mems inability
to make themselves comfortable that
has delivered them, bound and help
less. into women's hands.
Hence, argue the pessimists. when
you make every man a chef who can
turn out such pies as mother never
made and a seamstress who can
execute fancy darns and put new COL
lars and cuffs on his shirts, you have
simply killed the goose that lays golden
wedding rings. You have taken away
the chief incentive to marriage for
men, for more men marry for home
than for anything else.
FURTHERMORE, continue the pes
l. simists, you are going to increase
divorce, because no woman who isn't
a patient Griselda is going to be able
to endure a husband who is better
cook that she is and who Is always
telling her that he puts his pie crust
on ice and that his sauce hollandaise
never curdles, and that he always gets
three pairs of rompers for the baby
out of a yard of cloth. It Is hard
enough to stand the man who Is always
throwing the coffee he makes when
he goes off camping in your face, but
that would be as nothing compared
to the sufferings a wife would be called
upon to bear If she had to listen every
