solidly blocked with ice from Ma

many people near Parkersburg
walking across the Ohio river.
Whether they were risking their
lives just for the novelty of walking
across, or was it to save paying toll
by crossing the bridge-probably a
little of both.
The extreme cold weather during
the past few weeks has tried the
safety of cellars and cut the water

many to replenish their coal bins.

How Many Parents And Teachers
Lead Children To Recognize
Authority?

The shortest and best way OF
making a child recognize authority
is not by seeking to enforce it by
seedlings and faultfndings, nor by
slappings, but by studying the
child's disposition, looking at con.
ditions from the child's point OF
view, and working to help the child
with gentleness and patience, and
so enable him to see and do what is
right.
A child can be forced to change its
course by action, but if force is
used without love and wisdom, his
moral development may be retarded
and his life permanently injured.
Faults need correction, but the mis-
deeds of child are not always
faults; they may be the result Of
ignorance or habits that need to be
corrected, in which case suggested
directions are needed. 1t is possi-
BILE to supplant wrong habits by en-
couragnig good habits, and thus
overcoming evil with good.
