Promoting Children
By 4 neeIo Pafri

Parents expect their children to
be promoted at the end of the term.
They are shocked and angry when
they are told that their children
have failed. That is natural. Few
children should fail and the parents
of those children should know long
before the terms ended that their
children will not be promoted. The
teacher should keep in close touch
with the parents of failing children
tell them why the children are fail
ing, suggest ways for helping them
do whatever is possible to help them
in school, so that nobody, pupil OF
parent, will be shocked when the
term ends.

should be graded. Else why have
graded classes? If children are te

Dorothy Dix Says

We speak of marriage as a part
nership, and when a man and
women enter into it, the idea is that
they are pooling all that they are
and have, and that they are going to
work together to make 1t success
and share equally in its hardships
and its perquisites.
It is an intriguing theory and,
when put into operation it results
in an inspiring picture Of domestic
bliss, but, alas, it is one that we
are seldom privileged to behold.
For the average marriage is not the
mutual benefit association that those
who went into it expected 1t to be.
Only too frequently 1t is a skin
game in which the grabbiest part
ner gets the best of the bargain,
and the other partner gets left.
And that is what's mostly the
matter with marriage. That is what
causes the pickering and nagging
and discomfort between so many
husbands and wives. That is what
is at the bottom of the divorce
problem, for the matrimonial part

and they prosper, or fail, for the

No firm could grow big and rich

Jealous of each others authority
nor If they could not talk over their
plans freely together, and the sue
cess of every marriage depends pre-
cisely on the same Setup.
Many a marriage goes into f1nan-
cial as well as spiritual bankruptcy
because a husband is so egotistic
and so determined to be the head
of the house that he resents his
wife making even a suggestion to
him about things that are her con-
Germ as well as his. And many a
woman runs her husband into debt
because he never tells her anything
about his business affairs and she
does not know what their income is.
Much of the peeyishness and dis
content that makes so many wives
hard to live with, stems directly back
to their husbands not giving them

Christmas for most Of us still Is
magic, concocted Of happy reunions,
Christmas trees and stockings hung
over the fireplace. Taking small
surprises out OF bulging stockings is
half the fun Of the big day; at
least, 1t has been for us from the
time we were four.
The smallest present festively
wrapped seems twice as good COM
ing out OF a Christmas stocking.
For example, bottle of her favor
ite hand lotion wrapped with tinsel

her favorite, here's one she's sure
to like. OF a delicate pinkish hue,
this dainty lotion is scented with
what is perhaps the favorite of all
odeurs and comes in sleek round
bottle that would be an addition to
any cosmetic shelf or dressing table.
If you're one of a large family,
you might buy really big gift and
dismantle 1t, letting its contents do
gift duty for separate members of
the family. A wonderful gift that
could be separated into series of
smaller ones Is set of bath lux
uries that come wrapped Individual

an ethereal business of sky blue with

One Of the cutest tricks of all for

For the past few years, one of the
great favorites has been bottle of
