Changing
From Left
To Right
Tendency of Children
to Use One Hand
Best Let Alone.
BY ANGELO PATRI.

DA hA>oIAo n AN1s
A LITTLE girl refused to 60 to
school any more, saying that
she did not like her teacher.
II don't know any reason why
Jeanette should dislike me-" said the
teacher. II have always tried to help
her every way could. She gets failure
in spelling almost every day, and try
to get her to learn her words But
I've never done anything to make her
dislike me. Not that could help,
anyway"
She didn't do anything to me-"
sobbed Jeanette. But I don't like
her I don't like school. And I won't
go any more"
Now when perfectly good little
girl says things like that, and cries
In a heart-broken fashion, there Is
something seriously wrong somewhere
and the school folk have to find what
It is.
do you get good marks In lesson,
Jeanette?"
Yes. I do I get AS mostly and
. few BIS. But in spelling I always
get D. The words are too hard for
me-"
We'll, that's too bad. Maybe we
can help you with them. Are they
too hard for the others or do they get
. passing mark on them?"
They all pass but me. Nearly
everybody gets q hundred and the
teacher calls them out, all the hum
dreds get on line, and I'm sitting in my
seat, all by myself, and all the hum
dreds are looking at me. I feel 80
dumb. I Just can't stand 1t. I'm not
dumb"
"Of course not. Don't cry another
tear over it. Well find a way to help
. bright little girl to spell all rgiht."
And what do you suppose was the
matter? She was not hard OF hearing.
Her eyes were fine. Her hands were
perfect In every way. Her penmanship
was not so good. It had q queer slant,
but it was careful and neat. Her
memories were all in good working
order, except this one for spelling
She would look at word, pronounce
1t, spell it, copy it correctly. and the
next minute. write it as If she had
never seen or heard of it before.
We noticed that as she wrestled
with word she would change her
pencil from the right hand to the left;
then, bothered, change back.
Which hand do you like best to
write with, Jeanette?"
II used to write with my left hand,
but the teacher made me learn to
write with my right and now I can't
write good with either Of them. get
all mixed up when write
Then we knew what the trouble
was. jeanette was really left-handed
and should have been taught to write
with her left hand. In changing
handedness she got all mixed up" q
very accurate description OF what hap
pened to her language ability.
LIE the left-handed child alone. Any
effort to change his handedness is
likely to make trouble, Of one sort or
many, in his language powers. Let
his hands alone. If he uses them both
with equal power, let him do as ne
wishes. His handedness may look
wrong to you, but it is comfortable for
him, Just as yours is for you. Changing
hand power Is dangerous to the
language activities, speech. reading,
writing, composition, spelling. Being
left-handed Is nothing compared to
being q stutterer, now Is it? Then
watch out.

Toy women who flirt with married

about said married mems little chill
dren really need good trouncing.
They seem to be turning up at every
street corner these days.
There's the woman who knew Daddy
when . and who pats little Junior
on the head and tells him his eyes
are just as big and heart-breaking
As Daddy's used to be. While she says
It, she ogles Daddy instead of Junior.
And every one, including Junior (who
Isn't so dumb, is embarrassed.
There's the other kind, who never
knew Daddy when, but who has made
up her mind to know Daddy now. She
insists on holding one of the little
tots on her lap. Preferably the one
that looks the most like his father.
Then she pets the child, telling the
father all the while what perfectly
delightful counterpart he has, until
either the child or the father starts
screaming for Mama
Women with tendencies to do this
back-handed type of flirting should
remember that children are not Just

trail They have tasted easy money
and they are going to get their man.
But, boys, have you ever heard the
old proverb that he who dances must
pay the piper? 1t Is rule that never
falls. The lads who are out for
good time and who are easy SPEND
ers always pick up the kind Of ladies
that you have, and their price comes
high.
In such cases the mems Intentions
are never serious, but the women's
are, and they not infrequently include
blackmail, breach of promise suits
and other forms OF hold-ups which
leave the lads wiser and poorer men.
Men always fatter themselves that
when they get tired Of woman they
can get rid Of her by the simple ex-
pedient Of saying: Good night. the
party is over" But the trick is not
so easily turned as that. Many
good-tlme Charlie has found out to
his sorrow that nothing else on earth
is so hard to free oneself from as
predatory female. She can stick tight
er than an adhesive plaster and be
more Irritating, and when he finally
does get rid of her she takes his hide
off, too.
Perhaps, If you can convince your
"Would-be brides" that you are broke
and that your object is not matrimony,
they will find other victims. But don't
forget about having to pay for your
fun. That is rule that always works.
nEAR DOROTHY DIX am
boy Is years old and in high
school. My 17-year old sister is pest.
She is always lecturing me about nv
telling dirty jokes. All my friends
like them. Why shouldn't tell them
She keeps on talking about how awful
it is to be dirty-minded and about
my missing the beautiful things in
life and l think she is crazy. Do YOU
think there is anything wrong in
telling dirty jokes? TOM.
Answer think it is perfectly dis
gustlng. There is no surer way TO
judge a person than by his CONVEX
sation, for out of the heart the mouth
speaketh, and no decent individual
could listen to your vulgar stories
without knowing that you are lacking
in every instinct of refinement and
are not gentleman.
