Are ou equipping your child with
a few extra senses in addition to
training the proverbial FIVE? Here
are five additional ones which we
consider highly important: s"7se
of rhythm, a sense of time l.
ey sense. a sense of propol
a sense of humor You
der why we chose these pc II
senses as being important 10 a
child's development and left out,
say, a sense of honor That is be-
cause instilling sense of honor
and other splendid traits is part OF
character training, which Of course.
should underly everything you
teach a child. But today we are
considering senses. or attributes,
which will make life simpler for
the child-which will help him get
along with others, but particularly
with himself
We put first a sense Of rhythm
because il is the earliest of these
senses which can be wakened in a
child. And besides, we refer 10
more than just the recognition of
rhythm in sound and movement,
though this is part of the equip
ment. We mean allowing child TO
discover his own rhythm of living
The head of famous music school
once said that people who are late
TO their enga gagements are simply
out of rhythm with their own life!
One reason parents are tempted to
speed up the slow child and put
halter on the quick one is that
human beings are more comforta-
bic around those with similar
rhythm Of living.
Going on to time sense. we II
consider it along with a money
sense for the traits have something
in common. Lack of a money sense
and of sense of time are both. it
seems to me, due to the inability
to perform one simple mental task.
And that is-subtract! Now I don't
believe that you can make finan-
cier out Of a child who is born lack
irg money sense-but you can
make him a responsible person
where money is concerned if you

We must consider these figures
when we lean back In the old arm
chair and start guessing how soon
the food and gas ratoning viii be
over. And before we decide 10 slow
down on our War Bond buying
because Admiral Gurnp or COM
uentator Copperbottom believes the
war viii be ''in the bag" by
the last week Of April. 1944-we
should also remember that the Ger

points the enemy would like to
make. First: 10 lull us into a sense
Of complete security through the
belief that the war Is cinch and
| that we nave pracucally won II al
ready. Second: TO foment trouble
and friction between the Allies. SO
far we have unwittingly played
l their game. We over here have as
sured ourselves that we can't lose;
and the Allies jointly are work
I ing up a perfect jungle of misun-
derstandings. II doesn't make any
difference whose fault il Is. the fact
remains that senseless and useless
friction does exist; and unless some
/ big man with brains thinks up a
way TO smooth il out il could grow
to such proportions that it could
lose the war for US.

FIVE OTHER SENSES

teach him to subtract what he
spends from what he started out
with-and TO do this as he goes
along. not wait until the end Of the
day when he finds his pockets
empty.
The same thing is true Of time
you shouldn't try to make a slow
child into a quick one. but you can
teach either to be realistic about
the amount Of time it takes him to
perform certain tasks. That's why
persons who work fast are just as
apt to be late for appointments as
thoJe who move slowly-they try
to do too many things. and because
each is done with dispatch they
think they still have the hour they
started out with
And here's where our fourth ex-
ira sense-a sense Of proportion
figures in very prominently. We
would save our children a lot Of
stress il we taught them that some
tasks can be sighted. I once knew
a gifted artist who would spend all
morning washing out stockings. The
stockings had to be turned every
which way and scrubbed on all
sides. BY the time she was through
the morning light was gone and
she'd decide to wait until the next
day to paint. II is certainly pref
cradle to do well the things which
give US genuine satisfaction, and
do as meagerly as possible those
things which count for little.
Finally. a sense of humor IS al
most as important as the four extra
senses we have mentioned put to-
gether! Like character training, all
your relations with your child should
encourage the growth of his sense
Of humor. Besides. a gay, light
touch goes farther than any other
in bringing about family harmony.
But remember, that the best way
to help child develop sense Of
humor is for you TO laugh with him
at what he thinks is funny, no
matter how fantastic or even pro-
sale it may seem to you-because
a sense of humor flourishes on ap-
preciationl

II may prove a costly mistake II
we get into the habit Of believing
that this war VIII be over at any
specified time. or in any specified
year. II the enemy doesn't know
when Il viii end-we don't either.
Too many people in important
places are getting into the habit OF
saying-''naturally we VIII win the
wa. but il is difficult 70 say wheth-
er in the autumn Of 1913 or IN the
early spring of 1874"
Now Il just so happens that no
one ever knows when a war VIII

over. Victory is a reward which
has the tantaliZing tendency TO
hang in the balance" The for
tunes Of war swing first toward one
side and then toward the other.
How many times has this already
occurred in Russia and in North

more than once again before We are

We are not sure. 10 win this war,
and We should be told so-instead
OF always being told how we are
blasting the Hell out Of the enemy
and how he is losing thousands OF
men per minute in the SHOWS OF
Russia and on the hot sands OF
Tunisia. We can win and we should
win. We have the advantage OF
manufacturing power on our side
and we probably win have the ad-
vantage Of manpower. We are just
