Fables Tell
AGraphic
Lesson
Fine Way to Teach
Essential Truths
To a Youngster.
By ANGELO PATRI.

ONE OF the best ways to teach home
~ and essential truths to children
is by way of story. The story must
be brief, happy and pointed. and put
in language 20 simple that the child
has no trouble in getting the meaning.
The old fairy tales and fables are ideal
for our purpose. would like to have
all children Of kindergarten and first
grade age know the old fairy tales and
fables. First for their fine moral
instruction; next for the great con-
tribution they make to . child's ap-
probation Of good literature.
One of my favorite tales for little
children is The Three Bears" Tenn
perance. moderation in all things, is
one Of the marks of an educated, cul-
tured person. When q little child
learns the tale Of The Three Bears"
he learns tolerance and moderation.
The Big Bear had the big chair, and
welcome: but for the Little Bear, and
for the little visitor, Goldilocks, the
one that was Just right. To each his
own. and everybody happy.
The Fables Of Aesop ought to be
included in every child's education.
Little children seem to feel q warm
kindliness. warm affection and un-
derstanding for the animals. It is
while this phase lasts that the Fables
are 80 acceptable. The children do
not moralize over these Fables: and we
need not. They tell their own story
and they work their way on the minds
and behavior of the children. Tell
them over and over again until they
are part of the child's thinking and
speech.
The Fable Of the Greedy Dog ought
to be one of the first. The Fox and
the Grapes is especially good. The
Ant and the Grasshopper is always a
great favorite; and so is the tale Of the
Fox and the Crow These tales and
fables should be told. not read, to the
little children. Later, Is they begin
to be interested in books, read them
aloud and let the children look on
the while. In that way they not only
memorize the story and so learn some
fine English, but they learn to see the
words on the page and 80 begin learn
ing to read.
These tales tell = story far better
than We could ever state 1t. They
all preach . good sermon, but they do
50 in An enchanting fashion that cap
lures the child's mind with Its magic.
It is one thing to take 4 dose Of NOR
atty well shaken and carefully ad-
ministered; 1t Is quite another to take
1t willingly and with delight, all un-
conscious Of any good" that it might
be doing.
1t is best to let the story stand once
1t has been read or told. Don't prod
the child to make certain that 1t has
taken in the moral. He has taken it
along with the story because in these
tales and fables the moral is inher-
ent. He is. however, quite unconscious
Of it and cannot put 1t into language.
Let it alone. It will lie in the child S
mind and become seasoned and active
in days to come.

and nothing looks so trim and suave

The Old Gardener Soys /:

One Of the most interesting
and colorful flowers for the rock
garden is the European pasque
flower. Anemone pulsatilla. to
use the scientific name. From
flesh roots which grow rather
deep, there arise in late April
several large crocuslike flowers,
which are deep purple, violet,
blue or white In color. Tie dow-
ers are followed by interesting
greenish plumes which bear the
seed. The plants are dwarf, sell
dom reaching . foot In height,
and have grayish foliage, which
Is attractive even when the flow-
ers and seed plumes have passed.
These plants like q deep soil,
which Is ct all times . little moist,
They prefer full sun, but will
grow In partial shade. Seeds
sown In early July should pro-
duce flowers to grace next

Dorothy Dix Says
In This Suspicious World, No Good
Comes of Secret Marriade.

~ EAR MISS DIX-1 am q girl
Of 10 and finished high school
in June. I Am engaged to q
- boy who Is freshman In coll
lege and he wants US to be secretly
married and both 60 on to college But
here is my problem: My parents are
willing to send me to college If ! will
make something Of my education after
I get tt-teach or do something like
that, but they say they do not want
to waste any money on 1t II I am going
to get married as soon as I get my
degree. RENA.
Answer: Don't get married secretly,
Rena. Don't marry any man until he
Is in . position to acknowledge you
as his wife. and to marry you openly
and decently in the sight Of all men.
No good ever comes Of q secret mar
riage, and it always leaves the girls
reputation bedraggled. This is . sus-
picious world. my dear, and it always
looks askance at . belated marriage
certificate.
II you and your sweetheart get mar
ried secretly and 60 OF to college to-
gether, it Is not possible for you to
avoid gossip, so either put of your
marriage altogether until you have nm
ished college or else be frankly mar
ried. The hole-and-corner business
and meeting around for stolen rendez-
vous will do neither one of you any
good.
Besides, the situation will be filled
with complications that will give food
for jealousy, as you will be expected

to join In the social activities of the
school. II you have dates with boys
and your husband has dates with girls
the green-eyed monster will have q fine
opportunity Of getting in his deadly
work. So should strongly urge you
to put OF your wedding day until after
you have finished school.
I THINK your father Is mistaken in
his idea that there Is no use in edu-
eating girl If she is going to get mar
ried. To be good wife and mother
Is the most complicated profession in
the world and one that requires . lib
eral education In every direction. And
then some. Certainly the woman who
must wrestle with the high cost Of hv-
Ing and budget her income to the last
penny needs to be . mathematician
and . political economist. Certainly .
woman who brings children into the
world should have . knowledge of
biology, physiology, hygiene and .
speaking acquaintance with the germ
theory.
Furthermore, marriage does not au-
tomatically settle all of q woman's
problems and assure her Of plenty and
prosperity as long as she lives. Some
times husbands die leaving their wives
with . house full Of little children to
support. Sometimes husbands get
sick and cannot work and their wives
have to step into the breach and take
care Of them. Sometimes husbands
turn out badly and women are forced
to divorce them.

 Its awful nice to have you back again Nikki," he said gently, and Nikki knew that Rance loved her just as he always had loved her and that he probably would never dream of telling her. Rance was the son of an old partner of Uncle Jim and when the partner and his wife had died, Uncle Jim and Aunt Amy took the boy into their own home, reared him as their own and sent him away to the State University.
 After one year Rance returned to the Lazy R and said he would rather go to work than to school, and after while Uncle Jim made him foreman. Nikki always thought that Rance would like to have continued school, but that he felt his foster parents couldn't af- ford the money to send him.

Saving AustroIio's
 Living Teddy Beers"
AA AAAAAAAMAA-AA

TINY, lazy koala, the living ted.
 dy bear of Australia, faces ex- tinction, and science has decided to do something about 1t.
 One time these shy little ani- mals, which have a thick grayish- colored fur, prominent black nose and stand about two feet high, romped the Australian bush by the millions. ( Then disease and civilization struck. Ten thousand trappers decimated the ranks of those surviving the bush plague. Today koalas are found only in small numbers in eastern and southeastern Australia.
 Most inoffensive of animals is the koala, doing no harm to any. one. It weighs about 30 pounds, feeds mainly upon the branches of certain eucalyptus trees. The animal is rather inactive, espe- cially in the summer, and often sits in the fork of a tree sleeping the daylight hours away. The koalas never drink water; they carry their young in a pouch, are full grown at 3, live to be IS to 20 years old if not captured. They are often called the living teddy bear because of their striking re- semblance to this artificial crea- ture.> Actually the American ted- dy bear was copied from the small brown bear of America. A koala is shown above on a current Aus tralian stamp.
