that. And she knows no more about

What about it?"
I agree with father and am sorry

know that any child able to do
school work does it. most OF the time
Enough to get by and save the eternal
nagging that follows poor work
When one comes along who con-
sistently fails it means he cannot help
himself. There is reason for the
failure, a cause for it, which the child
cannot understand and cannot clear
away. What has to be done depends
upon that cause
Such a child should first be ex-
amined by child specialist, prefer
ably one who is associated with a
good hospital service. The child
should be left with him at the hos
pital for observation, for a period
long enough for thorough understand
ing of the case. Then the suggestion
OF the specialist should be carried
out.
There are many possible causes, so
many that no list we can offer could
possibly include them all And each
child is likely to display some un-
usual modification or exaggeration
OF one or more of the possible causes
There is never a clear-cut isolated
cause for any child's failure. There
are always complications. The causes
include health, family relationships,
| social backgrounds, school conditions,
personal characteristics; and these
are so interviewer as to make any
simple solution we'll nigh impossible.
One thing is certain. No able child
fails consistently. The failing child
is forced to failure by something be-
yond his control To help him one
cause of his trouble, and then do what
is possible to remedy it. The physi-
clans and teachers and psychologists
are needed. and the family must CO.
operate with them.
It is a mistake to drill such chill
dren over and over again on the les
sons they fail in daily. It is futile
to keep them in after school hours
for more drill It is cruel to punish
them for failure; they cannot avoid
| it, 1t is better to shorten their school
day, lessen the requirements, give
them more time in the sunshine and
good air. and call in the specialist
Then they won't be promoted? Will
the other way promote them? Or,
what is more important, will it change

tering the living room. where my
father and mother are sitting. Hello"
Answer-1 don't think he should
stand at the doorway and shout,
Hello" He might very well, in an
ordinary tone OF voice. say. Hello,

hands with her and then say, Hello.

think How do you do?" or Good
evening" very stif1 greeting to those
he knows very well and Of whom, let
us say. he Is quite fond. Improperly
depends not upon the word hello"
but upon the tone OF voice in which
he says 1t.
In other words. would much rather
have a young man who comes con-
stantly to my house greet me with an
afIectionate and smiling Hello" than
to say stifny. How do you do?" and l
have therefore answered this question
the way myself feel about any num-

DEAR MRS. POST: When 4 new
~ guest arrives and has to pass
right through the living room in order
to leave her wraps In the bedroom,
should the hostess introduce her to
those in the room who are strangers
before showing her into the bedroom
or after she returns to the living room?
Answer-She should wait until the
guest returns to the living room.
When people in their hats and wraps
have to 60 through the living room,
the conventional behavior Is to pre-
tend that they are not even seen. At
least this comes very nearly to the
attitude. If there is no one to tell
them where to 60 and the hostess her.

she, Of course, greets them. Other
wise, she stays in another part Of the
room and pays no attention to them
until they arrive from the dressing
room.

away somewhere in their battered
cars. Father is shocked and Mortified
and tries to put his foot down, and
there are endless wrangles and scenes
between him and Susie and mamma.
! For mother sides with Susie and
tells father that Susie is old enough
to have boy friends. to go about with
them and to enjoy the pleasures Of
youth to which she is entitled, and the
he mustn't be an old crouch. Father
retorts with bitterness that he Is
merely trying to protect his innocent
young daughter and accuses mother
OF throwing her to the wolves.
or COURSE, what's the matter
with father, though he doesn't
know it, is jealousy. He can't bear
that the little daughter whom he
adores should be interested in any
other male except himself It turns
him green-eyed to see her 20 OF
laughing and giggling with some little
ppsqueak instead OF staying at home
with him.
It's pity that papa 80 often takes
the attitude he does toward Susies
boy friends. for it causes him to lose
his one great chance to protect her.
II he accepts the fact that every girl
of IS or Is goes through the boy-crazy
period. when she thinks of nothing
but boys and imagines herself in love
with new one every day: If he SYM
pathizes with her and Is cordial to
the boys who come to the house and
gets acquainted with them, she will
confide in him. Then he can see to
it that she knows only decent lads
and goes only to decent places. and
he can keep her from running of and
marrying some inpecunious youth he
will have to support.
Susie Is going to have her boy
friends, 50 the only way papa can
safeguard her is to play ball with her.

~ NE OF the burning problems in
every household in which
there are girls is that OF
papa and Susie's boy friends.
1t is an issue soaked in tears and re-
bellion for Susie and with heart
ache and fury and baf1ement for
papa. because they look at it from
different points of view. One of
them sees the other as young fool,
and the other sees the other one las
an old tyrant who is trying to take
all the JOY out Of life for Susie.
The situation is surprise to them
both. Susie thought that boys would
just be a natural. pleasant part Of
life, like putting on long party dresses
and going to balls and playing around
with the other youngsters. She lever
suspected that there would be any OF
this hullabaloo about them. Papa
never dreamed that Susie would ever
grow up and that the house would be
cluttered with lads whom she would
want to step out with instead of 60
ing to the neighborhood movies with
him and Nom of an evening.
Or II he did occasionally notice
that She was getting taller than ier
mother. still he thought it would be
years and years and years before she
would be old enough to even think of
the boys in serious way. His general
idea was that when she was about
Is or 80 she would be old enough to
have few dates with some hand
picked young men of impeccable char
acter and with good jobs, whom he
would select himself.
THEN, suddenly. Susie, whom he
still considers a baby in rompers,
thinks herself grown up and wants to
have dates and 60 places with boys.
She wants to fill the house with noisy
youngsters who are banging on the
piano, or TURNING on the radio full
blast, or rolling up the rugs and dane
