throughout the years to keep those
gay folds floating against cloudless
sky, and that it is up to them to
carry on even though the dogs of war
seem muzzled, and the bugles are
silent.
Teach them that to be a good
patriot in the rush and glory of bat
tie is far easier than to be steadfast
and loyal from day to day, when no
one has anything to talk of except
how the country is going to pieces,
and run down everything in general.
Teach them to say. MY country, right
or wrong my country" until the
thought has become an integral part
of their subconsciouS minds.
TEACH them the value of construc-
tive criticism. and the utter fulfill
ity of bowling at the moon along with
a pack of other jackals. Encourage
them to listen impartially, and to keep
clear perspective on all major and
minor questions. Fanatics have never
built to last.
Teach them that the outward sign
of respect and love for the flag is a
thing to be proud of. Make them
delight to spring to their feet, and
whip off hats as the colors pass. Don't
let them think it is smart to run down
such observances, to pit their puny
moral strength against the great char
acters who have felt that open allie
glance to their flag was the greatest
of all honored privileges. Make them
ready to do battle at any insult to
the country's banner-if men had not
felt like that there would be a very
different nation for us to live in now.
And don't make them towards about
fighting for their country, either verb
ally or physically. One of our great
est heritageS as Americans is the
right to defend our Nation against all
enemies, great and small. 1t should
be an honor instead of duty.

Supervision
Of Young
Necessary
Children Need Tact
full Training and
Guidance.
BY ANGELO PATRI.

p Earring free" child is the most
~ difficult, most delicate task a
teacher or parent can undertake. The
child brought up under hard and fast
rule is not such a problem. He is
told what to do and when to do it
and how, and is held responsible by
punishment for any deviation from
the pattern set. But the free child
must be watched and tended in Sc
cret: must feel himself free to go
and come, to experiment with life as it
comes.
Now no child can be allowed such
freedom as that would imply. He
would be in mortal danger of his life,
His movements must be watched. All
his doings must be arranged for be-
fore he thinks of them, the place
and the opportunity prepared. When
the free child is learning to get about
the house his field of exploration has
to be limited to where he can go in
safety. The floors have to be smooth,
the rugs fast in their places, all cor
ners rounded, nothing sharp enough
to hurt him is to be in his way. And
then there is some one in the back
ground on guard.
That scheme must continue through
out the child's development. The way
must be prepared, lessons carefully
planned and executed, the child led
into learning, stimulated into choos-
ing the good and discarding the bad.
If you think this is not so think again
and ask yourself what child has the
wisdom to select his own course of
study, the experiences he needs for
his growth and development from
among the hosts of experiences that
surround him?
Being led into learning implies
leader. 1t is fine leadership that the
free child needs, and the difference
between the old type education and
the new lies in that word. Leadership
for the free child, domination for the
subject child.
There is no graver mistake than to
set child free, send him out to grow
as he wills. to do as his impulses drive.
It takes many years of learning and
of interpreting experiences to teach
ordinary men and women how to be-
have toward each other, how to help
instead of hinder each other in their
progress through life. A child has no
experiences to weight his mind, and
he is as likely to cut himself with a
knife as he is to use it for serving his
dinner. He is likely to make the
same mistake in the world of the
spirit, and wound there is hard to
heal. The scars seem to stay long.
Little children need to be trained
to live in this world of people and
their affairs, and the time for that
training is in the early years. They
learn they cannot do certain things,
and that they can and must do others.
These experiences become the basis
of their freedom or their bondage.
When all is said and done about
this freedom for children the idea lies
at the mercy of the teachers mental
attitude. If to the parent, school or
teacher freedom means spiritual free
dom, freedom from ignorance and
freedom from error, the child's edu-
cation in freedom will go forward to
success. If their attitude is that
which allows no interference Of law
or custom or convention, the child's
error is secured. It Is the Truth that
sets the soul free.

)ATs don't take their Summer
as hard as we mortals who
must be on the move and get
~ as much as possible into "a
hour circle of time The hotter it
becomes the more sleeping is done and
kitty is liable to be found anywhere,
especially in bureau drawers. which
have been left open. AS an alterna-
tive, she chooses to wash herself, so
gets through the heat fairly well.
Nevertheless, there's much that can
be done to keep her feline highness

she'll allow herself to be stroked once

About the most important thing to
kitty in the Summer is her food. It
suits her to eat more lightly than in
cool weather and, therefore, more
often. Give her about three light
meals a day. OF course, cats
vary. Some will eat one thing and
some another, but whatever happens,
never just give kitty saucer of milk
and then leave it there for the day.
In the first place heat sours milk

Parents and
Invitations
Names of Both on
Announcements
Not Correct.
BY EMILY POST.

YEAR MRS. POST: I read your
- article in yesterdays paper and
must disagree with you unless you are
willing to carry a discussion of the
problem further. When you consider
it shocking to use both names OF di-
yorced parents on the invitation an
nouncement of their daughters we'd
ding, I think you fail to recognize the
fact that because two people have
seen fit to be divorced for some rea-
son beyond their control. they may
still love that daughter equally well.
So why should they both not have
part in announcing her marriage?
Recently two of some of our best
known families announced their
daughters marriage in Just that way.
The girl who is marrying has some
right as to her feeling about her par
ents. She usually wants them both to
enter the joy of her new life. Won't
you write a bit more on the subject?
1t is a common situation today, I'm
afraid. and 1 am asked so often, What
shall do?" and always answer. You
must be guided by your daughters
feeling for each parent and the par
ents' attitude to each other"
Answer: If your own ethical sense
finds no breach of taste in this situa-
ton, there are no words at my COM
mand which could make it clearer to
you.

Answer: AS a Il after of fact.
have heard of this. but it is really
unsuitable because the object of god
parents is to take the place Of father
and mother should they die before
the child has been confirmed. The
chances are certainly more likely that
the parents will outlive their own
parents.
Dear Mrs. Post: have just had all
the linens in my trou5seau marked
with the initials of my future hus-
bands full name, and now several
friends insist this is all wrong. There
is. of course, nothing to do now, but
I'd like to know the truth.
Answer: 1t is true I have never
heard of linen marked with the hus-
bands initials, although it is entirely
proper that they be marked with
the initial of his last name-in other
words, the brides name after she is
married. But since your house will
be the house of the John S. Browns
don't think that it will be very no
ticeable if the linen is marked with
]. instead of an M. In fact, I think
linen marked j. S. B.-for John
Smith Brown-would be very much
better than linen marked M. K. L.
for Mary Katharine Loring-which
many consider the proper marking.
So I think you can cheer up about it.

Irwin Cobb once said that the Civil
War was not fought over the question
of slavery, but over hot bread against
cold bread. and certainly many mar
riages have gone on the rocks over
Emergencies in taste as trivial. After
all, as soon as the first flare has
died down the thing that makes a
marriage happy is congeniality, and
that can never be as perfect between
those who have the same blood and
the same customs.
y
THE pampered, spoiled American
woman is particularly ill-adapted
to marrying a man of different
race, especially one of race that
traditionally holds woman in con-
tempt and makes the wife subservient
to her lord and master. Few inter
national marriages ever turn out sue
cessfully. Not even the possession
of a coveted title makes the American
woman satisfied with the indignities
she is forced to endure among an
alien people.
Only q great and abiding love on
both sides can make a marriage be-
tween a man and woman of different
races successful and before they enter
into one they should not only be GER
tain of their own affections, but
should discuss with each other frank
ly and freely the social and family
problems they will face-the pref
udices, often the hostility of their
parents, the rearing of children, their
schooling and their religious training.
They must also be prepared for oc-
casional rebuffs, snubs and derogatory
comments from those they meet. Their
love must be sufficient to outweigh
contempt or ridicule and to make
the daily and hourly sacrifice of their
own particular ways" a joy instead
of penance.
In reality the only part OF the
United States in which mixed mar
riages are generally successful is in
the melting pot Of civilization
Honolulu. There where the races
meet and mingle happily and nor
mally, as they do nowhere else In
the world, there is no prejudice OF
race, class or religion against the
marriage of people of different races
and such marriages are generally
happy.

Dorothy Dix Says
Inter-Racial Marriages Are Difficult for
Both Contracting Parties.
EAR MISS DIX:

~ EAR MISS DIX: I am an
American girl and have been
in love with an Oriental for
~ four years. We fell in love
in our grammar-school days and have
been devoted to each other ever since,
but We cannot marry because of our
parents objections on account of our
difference in nationality. We know
that if we could marry We would live
happy lives, loving and working and
helping one another. and it seems too
cruel that We should be separated by
the accident of race. What would you
suggest? Shall we marry in spite Of
our parents objections? Or shall we
break off our engagement and go
through life loving and wanting each
other? PUZZLED.
Answer-The problem OF the mixed
marriage. the marriage of people of
different nationalities and different
religious faiths is one that tears at
thousands of young hearts and that
no one has the wisdom to solve, or the
temerity on which to give advice. So
much is to be said on both sides of
the question. There is religion. for
instance. 1t would seem that religion,
which in its essence is the love of God
and the desire to live life filled with
kindness and charity and good deeds,
should not be a bar between two peo-
pie who love each other, no matter
to what particular creed they belong.
Yet experience teaches us that there
can be no other one thing, not even
the greatest crime that husband
and wife can commit against each
other, over which they can fight SO
bitterly and which can tear them
apart SO effectively as their respective
creeds.
OF COURSE. people OF different re-
~ hgious faiths do marry and live
happily together, but such cases are
the exception rather than the rule,
and they only happen when both the
man and the woman are exceptionally
intelligent and broad minded and just
The same thing may be said of in
termarriage between the races. 1t is
always a dangerous experiment. be-
cause it makes the adjustment between
husband and wife, which is always a
difficult thing, thousand times more
hazardous.
Every race has its own prejudices,
its own vanities, its own habits and
customs, its own point of view, and
these are so inbred in the individual
that it is almost impossible to change
them, or to be happy married to one
whose thoughts and ideals and Gus
toms, and even whose cooking is diff
ferent.
