The Everyday
Counselor
Rev. Herbert Spaugh, ID. d.

blame my parents. They are two
of the most wonderful people in
the world" we can't help but see
in the background that they prob
ably made the mistake being
made by many parents, of failing
to take time to give their children
the companionship which the nor
NAL child Graves.
The modern pattern is familiar
When the baby first comes, he
receives an abundance of personal
attention, especially if he is the
first child. This continues through
the nursing period and in early
childhood. AS the child grows,
and perhaps other children come,
household responsibilities increase
for the mother and financial de-
mands for the father. They be-
come increasingly taken up with
the mechanics of making a living
and housekeeping. Outside con-
facts demand more time. These
children who became accustomed
as small children to personal at
tention from their parents, find
themselves receiving less of it
ThWarted in their desire for COM

Parents can offer to their grow
ing children no substitute for per-
sonal companionship. That takes
time, and there is nothing more
important. Those parents who
are too busy" at other things in
GLIDING making living, discharg-
ing social obligations, and even
church work should find an
alarming warning in the case of
seventeen-year-old William Heir
ems, recently sentenced to three
terms of life imprisonment for
three murders in one of the most
shocking and revolving cases ever
presented to the American public.
In an interview just after his
conviction, according to the Unit
ed Press, he sent this message to
other youths of the land, "Con-
tide In your parents or those close
to you l never had the op-
portunity to be close to my par
ents. I was sent away to board
ing school when I got in trouble,
ard I was always away from
home when l needed their conf
dence.'
Although he also said, ct don't

partnership from their parents,
they seek it elsewhere, often from
people and other children who Of
fer a poor substitute.
Then comes adolescence, and
many parents suddenly wake up
to the fact that their children are
strangers to them, present prob
lens which they do not know how
to meet. If a boarding school
can be afforded, many honestly
think this is the answer, and the
child is sent away from home.
While they think boarding school
is the only answer, but in too
many cases it is not. College age
comes soon enough, and it has
always been my conviction that
growing boys and girls should be
kept directly under home in
fluence until that time, if at all
possible. Parents should take the
time, no matter what the cost,
to give their children the full
benefit of their companionship
and guidance during their for
native years. They should take
the time to work with them, play
with them and pray with them.
The fundamentals of character
are learned at home. That is
where the child learns to meet
and know God, long before he
comes to the Church, if he ever
comes.
Parents, don't be too busy to
give your children that compa-
nionship which they SO need and
desire.

N. c. Playground
Being Improved

Raleigh-Exhibit directors from
throughout North Carolina have
gathered here to supervise con-
struction of display booths for
the State Fair to be held October
1919.
At the conclusion of a con-
ference held recently at the fair
grounds, DIR. J. S. Dorton, man.
ager, announced that approx
mately $4,000 square feet-more
than ever before-has been set
aside for agricultural exhibits,
farm machinery, and special
army shows.
A general face-lifting program
of the fairs grounds and build
ings has begun. Thirty-six car
penters and laborers have begun
building exhibit booths, moving
the grounds, and doing extensive
repair work to the various halls.
Dorton plans for exhibit booths
this year to be SO constructed
that there will be little for the
exhibitors to do except to set up
their displays.
The most ambitious program
planned So far is concerned with
the dairy exhibit, which will pre-
sent the dairy pictures from the
grass to the glass" and will use
one end of the main exhibit hall,
according to DR.. Dorton. Other
large exhibits will present to-
bacco and cotton.
