For 80 years, generation after
generation of flower and vege-
table seeds have been grown
and gradually perfected by
the unique Ferry Morse Seed
Breeding Institute. Some have
twenty generations behind them
for it takes time to produce
prize-winning strains.
Each year, before Ferry's
Seeds are packeted, the same
Institute tests them all for
growing ability-and grows and
analyses each variety for true
ness to type.
Only seeds that have passed
their tests appear in the famil-
lar Ferry's Seeds store display.

BRINGING UP
THE PARENTS

tGhriStian Science MonltOr)
In New York. the Child Study Associa-
tion of America has Just had confer
ence. Il may have some useful hints for
those child-study associations which fore
gether informally in every home when
Harry gets out of hand or Peggy becomes
a problem.
The C.SA. starts modestly by admit
ting. in the words of DR.. William f. Blatz
of Toronto that. Parent education. al
though fifty years old, is still in the suck
ling stage" We thought it began when
the first cave dweller got his first lesson
from his first child. But any parent will
concede that parent education is not COM
plete.
Another dictum from the C.S.A. is
the statement by DR.. Arnold GeSell of
Yale, that, Only in a democratic climate
of opinion can we give full respect to the
proven individual growth factors in in-
fants and children" No democrat will
quarrel with that. And many a parent
might find his education advanced if he
carried out its implications, getting full
value out of democratic climate
Too many homes are totalitarian in
their atmosphere. They have sought to
indoctrinate instead of educate, or lead
out" the individuality of the children.
Parents too often teach the child to think
as they do rather than to think. That is
what makes relationships and subjects of
relationships. But we are learning. Some
times W hen Dorothy's individuality
breaks out in red fingernails or Johnny
decides that school discipline is cramp-
ing his style it may seem that we are
learning too fast With it all there are
few parents Who-thinking as children
of the last generation-do not see prog
greSS.
1t is clear gain for homegrown democ-
racy when Billy, out Of fifteens expert
ence, feels free tc offer good idea about
family finances and possibly few contri-
buttons. While respect for individuality
at the dinner table permits ten-year-old
Alice to say what she thinks about the
war in China, dictatorship is forced to
be silent. And frequently parent educa-
tion takes another toddling step.

Famous Sayings
Bruce Cation Says
Caution First Requisite in DEALING with Germany

1t probably would be just as well
for the American government to be
extremely cautious about this much
talked-of plan for glo-American
cooperation to help settle the Jew
ish problem in Germany.
With the avowed aims of this
scheme-to find some means of get
ting the Jews out of Germany and
settling them in a place where they
can try to putt their shattered lives
together-every American will have
the greatest sympathy. Certainly
something needs to be done. and If
the American government can help
things along it ought to do so.
But we need to know precisely
what is contemplated by all parties
to such an agreement before we
commit ourselves.
First of all, it is pretty evident
that the Hitler government would
like to use its persecution of the
Jews as club to force concessions
from other nations. Says the news
paper Das Schwarze Korps, official
organ of the crack S. S. guard:
I'VE shall use Jewish hostages
Systematically, no matter how
shocking some people may find it"
That is a fairly plain warning,
not unlike the message which a
successful kidnaper might send to
the victims relatives. Germany
wants a number of things from the
outside world - trade agreements,
colonies, sitting of criticism, and
so on-and it is quite in the cards
for the government at Berlin to
refuse to take part in any program
for the relief of Germany's Jews
unless some of these things are
granted.
And while it is important that

casting director mistook him for
an actor. He was offered a tryout
in a play. and got the part! There
was only one drawback. He didn't
know how to act He learned the
part only to find III rehearsal that
he was terrible. What was he to do
about il? Confess that he knew
nothing about acting and throw up
the job? Just as he was learning
how fascinating the stage could be?
Not Alan Mowbray! Instead. he
cast about for a life-saver. He
thought he detected one in the
group around him. He invited the
entire cast to luncheon. Fortunate
ly for Alan, there are times when
actors don't eat too Sumptuously be-
fore the show goes on. They all ac-
cepted And they like this kindly,
generously inclined chap. They
taught MIN what to do. Every actor
in the cast gave Alan the benefit OF
his own experiences. And he got
away with it!
After several London plays, he
nurtured aspirations for a New
York success. He came over, and
tried for four months to get a job
on Broadway. Then frightfully dis
couraged. he says. he sat down on
a bench in Central Park to have 1t
out with himself. He was dead
broke: end had had nothing to eat
for two days. An empty stomach
has a marked effect on ones NOR
ale. His courage was gone. He was
ready TO give UP.
Suddenly a thug stood before
him. thrust a revolver at him and
snarled: stick em up"
Alan lifted his hands Then like
steel springs, his legs lifted him
from the bench: his fist cracked on
the fellows chin. and the gun fell
to the sidewalk.
Snatching the gun, Alan invited
the rutlian to take a walk for lis
health. He did Just that. while Alan
left the revolver at the nearest
pawnsnop and at the the first cafe
terra he could find. His stomach
filled. his courage rose. He decided
he'd % once more to the casting
office.
That day he got an engagement
with tfe Boston Repertory Com
pany and his American career was
started
One Of his treasures is the little
22-cali5er revolver which he re-
deemed from the pawnbroker.

an electoral COllSSe uldJOTlly lOl
Republicans on the basis of the
1888 election. If states in which
the party made noticeable gains
were to be carried by the G. o. P.
i'll 1910. a Republican would move
into the White House.
In states where a new Republican
governor Or senator was elected, the
Total electoral vote would not be
bic enough to elect a President.
But if it could be assumed that,
in addition to those states, each
state which elected two or more
new Republican congressman would
90 for the party presidential candl-
date two years hence, victory by a
comfortable margin would be as
sWed.
That assumption may be consid-
cred optimistic. But If the 1888
trend toward the Republican is half
matched by one III 1910. the result
appears to be indicated by these
figures:
In 1886 Mr.. Roosevelt received
523 electoral votes as against All
Landon's eight from Maine and
Vermont.
In 1888 Republican gubernatorial
u senatorial candidates-or both
displaced Democrats in these states:
Pennsylvania, sc electora! votes;
Ohio. 26, Michigan 10, Massachu-
setts II. New Jersey l6, Wisconsin
u, Minnesota II. Iowa IL, Kansas
9. Connecticut s. Colorado 6, Oregon
5. New Hampshire 4, South Dakota
4. Idaho 4. Rhode Island 4, wy
oming 3, Delaware 3.
The total electoral votes OF these
states. ADDED to those of Maine
and Vermont, is 206.
But an electoral college major
ity is PCS.
Apparently i, hasn't been done
vet but any smart Republican can
figure that majority and more If
ne banks on the following states in
which his party has just gained
two or more seats in the House:
New York, Al. electoral votes
Illinois %. California %, Indiana
IA. Nebraska 7. Which is 119. And
if you add that to the previous
total the result is 325 electoral
votes.
A campaign record appears to
have been established by Senator
Homer T. Bone of Washington,
Democrat, VINO won in the primar-
les without accepting a contribu-
ton or spending a nickel and beat
his Republican opponent in the
election without accepting a contri-
button.
Folks at Democratic Senatorial

Bone returned the perfmctory $500
campaign contribution they sent
him. In the election campaign he
reported no contributions and S406
