What to say? Who Is wise enough
to understand and guide the ways of
a child? All teachers know they are
not, and suspect that nobody else is.
The best we can do is to know as
much as possible about each. child
and do what we think Is best for
him at the time. A blanket an
swer, one that is supposed to cover
the needs of all children will not
serve us. The hard fact is that no
two children are alike. They are
representative of life at its height
and life is unpredictable.
The wise teacher tells the parent
what she knows about this child and
together the teacher and the parent
plan for the help, the strengthening
and the development of this par
ticular youngster. It must be made
clear that what Is good for one
child may not be good for another;
that it is perfectly right and very
wise to give one medical care and
another none; that it is right and
wise to give the gifted youngster
special help while letting the other
go along in his routine fashion. 1t
is right and wise to restrain one
child and encourage another; pro-
vided, that all the time each one is
studied and given the the best that
parents and teachers can give.
One thing we must forever hold IN
mind. The door of hope must never
be shut against any child.

USES FOR OLD HOSE?
From Mrs. L. G., Washington.J
Can some one suggest what
might make with a rather large sup
ply Of old discarded ladies' hose?
If some reader has had experience
in making up such hose into rugs,
will you please give me each step
necessary (including the dyeing)
etc.?
Or perhaps there are other uses
for discarded hose. I will greatly
appreciate any suggestions in de-
tail.
REMOVING RUST STAIN?

Could you please tell me how to

"
TYING SHOE IACES.
From Mrs. L. l., Washington.)
In reply to Mrs. E. WIS inquiry as
to keeping a small child's shoe laces
tied securely, I want to offer the fol-
lowing suggestion: Make a regular
bow, then take the two loops formed
in this bow and tie them in a knot.
I have tied my little boys laces this
way for some time and find he can
not undo them, and besides, they
rarely become united of their own
accord.
STAINED ENAMEL PAN.
From Mrs. r. E. p, Alexandra. J
To the lady who wants to know
how to remove the stain made by
boiling water in an enamel pan: I
had exactly the same problems last
year, received many suggestions, but
the best in my opinion was the fol-
lowing: Take damp dishrag Cor
other rough cloth covered with a
generous amount of baking soda and
scrub the enamel pan as you would
an aluminium one. BE SURE THE
PAN is FAIRLY DRY when you do
this, otherwise the soda will dissolve
and lose its securing power.

SMALL TOWN PREJUDICES?

hectic past few years that I find
myself longing for a small town.

mas been added, and boil till clear
(The salt prevents the iron from
sticking when ironing.) I starch the
shirts with the starch as hot as my
hands will stand, dry, then sprinkle
and let stand for a few hours.
MY little boy is going to be 4 soon,
and l am planning his first real
birthday party. AS I've never given
a party for little children, would
appreciate some suggestions as to
things to do" to entertain about
eight little tots at such gathering
fFrom Mrs. E. N. H., WASHINGTON.
Cook your starch as usual. Let it
get completely cold and rub into
dry collars and cuffs. My old grand
mother taught me many years ago,
and it works.
fFrom Mrs. v. D. p, Falls Church,
Va
To make starch stiff enough for
shirt collars and cuffs, try adding
a teaspoon of EPSON salts to each
half cup Of starch. If this is still
not stiff enough, experiment to gain
desired stiffness. Use regular boiled
starch.
The RICH is a fine column, other
papers over the country should take
