 Some mothers have had excellent results in planning programs fol their childrens conscious listening They take a general them, Such, foi Instance, as spring. and gather to' gcther records of simple, strong melodich, markedly rhythmic music These they encourage the child to play, perhaps on his own little port able photograph. To stimulate his imagination and make the music more vivid. they may suggest that he make up a story of his own to go with the music.
 Poems or stories by well-known writers, of famous fairy tales and legends, nay be correlated with this plan. A mother may begin this when her children are still very young; In fact, the younger the better. On the other hand, 1t is never too late to start.
 Mothers should encourage as much as possible the child's active participation in music. This may take the form of singing at home in school or In the church. dancing at home, or playing an instrument Toy drums, toy bugles and toy flutes nre oil Inexpensive enough for any parent to afford.

time and effort to take up the study of a major instrument, such as the piano, with their children. I have as pupils several such mothers, who began plano lessons at the same time as their seven-year -old young sters. The companionship they are building !n this way will be price less, and will have It's corresponding influence on the childs appreciation of music.
 However, If the child Is learning to play any instrument, mothers should be most careful not to make practice seem a drudgery. Don't hound child to the piano, scold him for not practicing, or give him lectures about the lives of great composerG.
 A mother should be judicious, too, about taking Q child to professional concerts. Forced attendance ct the Philharmonic has resulted In nlak- ing many c child a confirmed music harter. Here mothers must exercise ingenuity and skill.
 One mother l knew induced c re. ceptive mood in her two little daughters by letting them wear their party clothes when they went to concerts.

As for living conditions around an army camp, she knows they won't seem very good after what tho family has Eeen used to. But she deosn't think comfort is irl- portant-if the only way 0 family can achieve 1t is by separation.
 Anyhow, If Papa can take 1t, so can Mama and the children.
 As for the children's education, she isn't SO sure but that the cxpe- riencc of living In Q different part Of the country, going to 6 new iChool. having to make friends in strange surroundings won't more than make Up for the little bit of setback they may get from chang. ing schools.

 Besides, she thinks 1t will be Q thrilling experience, especially for Junior, to get to see something Of this defense program.
 Then there's Papa to consider. She doesn't see why he hasn't as much right to expect his family to go with him as though he were being transferred to another city by his former employer.
 After all, he is just changing jobs, and why, because his new work takes him to an army camp, should that alter everything7
 No, Mama doesn't care what her friends think. She's doing the only thing that makes sense to her. She never was one to take the children and head for summer resort the minute warm weather set in, leaving Papa to shift for himself all sum- iner. And she isn't going to start putting ease and comfort above family life now. i

A young teacher, fortunately. An old one would never take such a liberal attitude nor concede that her precept might be worth 6 good laugh.
 These children were entitled to their laugh. The teachers sugges- ton that wearing rubbers indoors has some mysterious i'll effect on the eyes or eyesight Is absurd. If 6 child or an adult finds rubber overshoes comfortable to wear in- doors, 1t is hygienic for him to do SO. Generally they are not com fortable to wear indoors, but that is entirely up to the individual to decide for himself. Wearing rub- Der overshoes in a warm room for hours may cause excessive sweat ing of the feet and the moisture or dampness will tend to make the feet cold when one goes out of doors In cold weather. Also 1t would in- crease susceptibility to chilblain or frostbite for the same reason-be- cause damp shoes and stockings are better heat conductor than dry ones and so dissipate or give of the natural warmth or heat of the feet.
 In commiserating with the teach- CT over the predicafnent she was in I sent her Q copy of my primer on 6 kindred subject and urged her to persevere with her course and learn with her class @ few funda- mental truths of great concern to every child and adult.
