HelpChildren
To Develop
Abilities
Various Interests
Always Must Be
Encouraged
By A ngelo Patri

Children grow in a peculiar way.
The newborn child grows with
amazing rapidity. You can almost
see him changing. AS the days and
months and years pass his growth
slackens to a slower pace until, by
the time he is so, his growth is
scarcely perceptible.
AS life lengthens it seems that
the steps between phases of growth
lengthen. The baby's growth is i'm
mediate, the child's is close to that
rhythm, and the school child's is
a little slower. What is important
for teachers and parents in this
situation is the fact that there is,
in all children's lives, certain i'm
mediacy of growth's needs. Feed the
growth at the moment it is ex-
panding and it is enriched and
strengthened, ready to add its power
to the next phase Of growth. Let
that moment pass, and in babies
it is but a moment sometimes, the
growth is not as full nor as rich
nor as powerful as it might have
been and something precious is lost.
Growth, in any child of any age,
must be used at his high tide. That
is why it is important that when
boys show ability in trades, when
girls show talents for sewing, when
ever any child of any age shows
power, that power should be i'm
mediately seized upon and developed
to its fullest.
There is a peculiar element at
work here, too. One phase of growth
may be strong for brief time. then
fade out, and another of a different
sort appear. That is the way chill
dren grow and nobody is to feel
discouraged about it as long as
growth of any kind shows. For
instance, boy Graves music lessons
and for a while does very well.
Then he slows down, stops prac-
ticing, loses interest in music al
together and wants to study mathe-
maticS, or surgery, or something else
that seems far away from music.
Don't lose heart. Turn with the
child toward the new field and help
him develop that. The power he
gained in his music, in some mys-
terious way, will add power to this
new field, and it will not be lost.
Surgeons, mathematicians and mu-
sicians often find they have tastes
in common.
Teach a child when you see signs
Of budding growth. Follow his
growth with instruction and keep
helping him until he finds his field
of work, when he will go ahead
practically independent.
Mr.. Patri will give personal
attention to inquiries from par
ents and school teachers on the
care and development of children.

has overlooked the intellectual side
of life, and although he has two or
three years of college, he doesn't
indicate it. Now which is the better
bet, matrimonially speaking? The
first man with whom I can speak,
but who is a failure financially, or
the second man. who is a success
in business, even though there is an
intellectual gulf between us?
PUZZLED.
Answer-I should say that your
choice would depend on whether
you prefer to feed your body or your
soul. But whichever one of these
men you marry, you will regret it
and wish that you had chosen the
other.
Suppose you take the intellectual
man, with whom you can discuss
transcendental philosophy but not
the grocery bill. You might enjoy
a marvellous companionship with
him if, alas and alack, you were
not under the painful necessity of
eating and having somewhere to
lay your head and if custom did not
require you to go about clothed.
Nothing is more idyllic than to
dream of having a husband who
speaks your language, who is inter-
ested in the cultural things you are
interested in, who dotes on poetry,
music and art, and who is more
thrilled by a new thought than by
the stock market.
About 20 days of the month that
sort of man would prove a most
satisfactory husband, but on the
30th, when the bills commenced
coming in, when the landlord
clamors for his rent and the butcher
reminds you that your credit is ex-
hausted; when all the other women
have new frocks and you are so
shabby that you are ashamed to be
seen, why, then you will wish that
you had married the man who
didn't know so much about books
and knew more about making q
living.
Also, a woman is burned up by

left hand. You'll look best if these
hands are kept at about the height
of the mans shoulder-not held
stiffiy down at your sides, or stuck
up in the air in an imitation of the
straphanger's stretch. On crowded
floors you may have to pull in trifle,
but do it by bending the elbows
more, not by changing the funda-
mental position.
For all ordinary dancing you
should stand close enough to your
partner SO that your bodies touch
lightly. Some steps which involve
lot of knee action, such as the
shag and the rumba, require more
open stance. And, of course, if you
60 in for jitterbugging, you're apt
to get distorted into almost any po-
sition, like that of a Sioux Indian
on the warpath or a st. Vitus patient
who has just been given a hotfoot.
But we'd advise you to become a
good straight" dancer before you 90
in for these exhibition antics.
While on the subject Of posture
and position let us give you few
don'tS:
For the boy:
Don't grab a girl around the waist
with the grip of python and bend
her back into suffering semicircle.
If you do this violently enough,
something is bound to snap-and it
won't be just a shoulder strap,
either. Very few girls are con-
structed with hinges amidships, so
let her stand up straight If you
expect her to follow you.
Don't try to dance cheek-to-cheek
or brow-to-brow with a cute little
thing who is foot shorter than
you are. You'll look like a pretzel
and end up with curvature of the
spine, which will be only half of
what you deserve.
Don't hold your left arm out
straight and stiff like timid woman
driver signaling a left turn. And
don't pump it up and down. Your
chances of striking oil on most
dance floors is negligible.
Don't lean backward or pull up
ward so that your partner hangs
suspended on your chest, with her
toes barely making contact with the
floor. This may be good strong
man act, but it isn't dancing.
For the girl:
Don't twine a snaky left arm
around your partners neck, or lean
heavily on his shoulder as though
you couldn't bear your own weight.
Don't grab him as though you
were afraid of falling down. Relax!
You have no idea how a boy groans
inwardly when he gets hold of one
Of those stiff, tense dancers with
immoyable arms and shoulders.
Don't turn yourself half edgewise,
giving the boy the idea that you're
all set for a quick getaway. And
don't crook your right arm back in
side your right shoulder, so that he
has to hold it there, apparently
trying to make you say "Uncle." :"
Don't slump against him like a
confirmed cuddle-cat, or hold your
self primly away from him in a
Don't you dare touch mel" attitude.
There! We hope these tips will
straighten you out-and we mean
straighten-in the matter of dane
ing positions. In our next Thurs
days column we'll give you further
suggestions on improving your terp-
sichorean technique. (WhewD

the knowledge that her husband
cannot hold his own among other
men. She gets sick and tired of
sympathizing with a poor, unap-
preciated genius who can't sell his
wares or turn his talents to any
use.
1t gets on her nerves having to
explain his failure to her friends
ana being pitied by them. and it
ends by her having contempt for
him as a weakling.
On the other hand, a woman is
bound to respect the man who sue
ceeds in business, because it takes
strength and character, it takes
brains, it takes grit and courage
and self f-denial and the ability to
take punishment for man to win
a place in the sun in the CONNER
cial world in this day Of fierce
competition.
And there is no gainsaying the
fact that, mighty few of us women
really prefer plain living and high
thinking to f1let mignon and or
chidS. There are few books so abb
sorbingly interesting as a check
book.
So there you are. One of these
men may feed your soul and the
other your body. One may starve
you, the other bore you. But be-
tween the two I should say that
the best matrimonial bet is the 60
getter, for you can find plenty of
other people who can supply you
with all the intellectual conversa-
ton you crave, but nobody but
your husband is going to pay your
board bill and shopping ticket.
But why marry either one of
these men? Why not wait and
find one who is both q highbrow
and money-maker2 But one
thing I charge you-whichever one
you marry take him "as is" Don't
badger the dreamer with not being
a good provider, and don't scorn
the businessman because he is shy
on poetry. 1t isn't cricket.

in general stays about the same,
with turkeys somewhat scarcer than
they have been recently.
Recommended meats for the week
end include rib and chuck roasts of
beef, some cuts of lamb and pork.
Some veal cuts are reasonable;
smoked meats are bargain buys in
most instances. To really beat the

the exception of sweetbreads and

in the lower-priced brackets.

may be brought into the realm Of possibility
at no far-distant day.
The automobile manufacturer is reported to
be experimenting with a new riveting process
which might turn out warplanes from an
assembly line faster than autos, and we all
know what Ford has achieved in that under
taking. The Detroit dispatch says: 1.-THE pro-
cess is said to be developing to point where
it may cut the time and labor required in

Dead In Faith

II crows more and more difficult to under
stand lust what it is that Colonel Lindbergh
wants, There are striking discrepancies In
his testimony before the house foreign reia-
tons committee and what he said while on the
stand at the hearing Of the senate committee
Of the same name. They have been too widely
publicized and exploited to require reiteration
here. What really matters is that his Amerl-
canism is Of low order. It is obvious that he
has lost faith in his native land.
The United States, in his view, is weakling
nation, with little or no power or influence IN
the world, and the sooner it makes its peace
with the bully Of Europe the better it will get
along in the order that Hitler proposes to i'm
pose upon the world.
Now faith, as q very great thinker ex-
planned it, is the substance OF things hoped
for and the evidence of things not seen. 1t is
the element in mortal flesh that gives man q
purpose in life as well as spiritual objec-
tive. Without faith, the United States would
never have come into being or existed through
out century and halt Without faith now
the United States would have no reason to
rearm or to help its sister democracy, across
the Atlantic. It is this faith that Colonel Lind
bergh lacks And so his usefulness is finished.
These lines from Whittier's poem '1chabod'

AL else is gone: from those great eyes
The soul has fled.

Britain Al0ft

To Judge from the scope Of the bombing
raids the British have been carrying out the
last few days, the initiative in the aerial strug
gle has at least temporarily passed to their
side Of the channel They are more than
matching the current German effort
The British losses offer a grim criterion OF
the weight Of the blows now being struck. In
last Wednesdays attack the Royal Air Force
acknowledged that nine planes did not return,
and the Germans claimed to have brought
down Is. Until now British losses have never
approached either figure in a single days
activities.
These raids were directed at the so-called
invasion ports Of Brest Dunkirque, Dieppe,
Ostend and Bordeaux, at the air field at Van
mes and also at industrial Dusseldorf. The
fact that the heaviest attacks were apparently
aimed at Dusseldorf is important because it
indicates that the British now have sufficient
strength in the air to 60 beyond the Zone Of i'm
mediate danger.
In the past the greatest efforts Of the British
Royal Air Force have been pointed at the
German cities have been carried on at night
and with comparatively small forces. The
shift in emphasis speaks eloquently Of rising
British air power.
The question now posed is whether these
raids can be continued at the heavy cost i'm
posed by the German defenses. II these at-
tacks 60 on, and there seems to be no indica-
ton Of thei-: suspension or diminution, they
will be positive proof that the odds are no
longer as heavily against the British as they
were. -
