City and Cleveland, Ohio.
did what all my colleagues were
doing then and what practically all
teachers in teachers colleges are still
doing: I told the young women pre-
pairing to teach that if they knew
their subject matter well, under
stood children, made children like
them and kept their attention on
helping the child to want to learn
and showed him how to learn with
greater efficiency, they would not
have occasion to give thought to
matters of discipline.
My first book, indeed, conferred on
the idea that teachers are wish
makers. "We shall assume, of
course, that the learner does the
learning; that in the long run he
learns only what he wants to learn
and when he wants to learn. The
obvious function of the teacher,
therefore, is to create in pupils a
learning attitude. We, therefore,
shall be interested primarily in find
ing ways in which we can get chill
dren to want constantly to do and
to learn what would be good for
them to do and to learn" So l wrote
in 1925, in "The Learner and His
Attitude"
Stern Realities
If L were writing this same book
today, l would not change those
statements but would add a few,
acknowledging some stern realities
concerning school discipline facing
practically every teacher. Also, if l

HOME IN
Cosmetics
with The
Same Scent
By HELEN FOLLETT

SOME day. when you feel like
going on grand old shopping hinge
with a special investment at the
cosmetic counter, get yourself q
number Of items that carry the
same scent; soap, talcum, bath salts
perfume, toilet water, sachet, All
your worries on the perfume prob
lem will be over. 1t is a mistake to
use different scents. By sticking to
one you will carry with you a deli
cious aura. Your friends will take
= long breath, will say Reveal the
secret! l want to get some, too"
1t is true that perfumes are ex.
pensive. There are reasons. A per-
fume chemist tells your reporter
that the highest grade oil Of jas
mine costs seven hundred dollars a
pound, which is about twenty-five
dollars for a tablespoonful. That is
the wholesale rate. For some FASH
ionable bouquets Of exquisite fra
GRANGE the retail price may soar
as high as forty dollars for small
vial. Hence the need of conserva-
ton.
Eau de Cologne"
Toilet waters are less expensive.
Using them one does not have to
count the cost. Eau de cologne is an
old favorite, carrying a refreshing
aroma. It makes a delightful after
the-bath friction. For travelling, one
company has put up three scents
Of cologne in a box that is easily
packed.
The best means Of using perfume
Of any kind is the atomizer that
diffuses the liquid to just the right
degree. Use the spray on neck, arms
and shoulders when the flesh is
warm after the bath.
In Dresser Drawer
When you have finished with a
bottle Of perfume, place it, uncorked,
in your dresser drawer. 1t will give
off its precious fragrance for some
time. If you wear an artificial flower,
put q drop Of perfume in the center
Of it.
Practically every woman loves
perfume and wears it with a secret
sense of glamorous fulfllment. It
makes her forget lot Of things
that she doesn't care to think about
like the bills that come in the

WHEN YOU ADMIRE YOU
ARE HAPPY.

A man who was my friend is
gone. He was a man everyone
loved. He could 60 into any COM
pany and inside Of five minutes win
every person in that company as his
friend. His genius was the genius
for expressing his warm and friend
ly personality.
Last night when I was thinking
over our friendship for each other
and trying to analyze to see if ]
could discover the true secret Of his
gift, I hit upon something that
hadn't ever occurred to me before.
His genius was the genius Of
knowing how to admire.
I've never known anyone who was
so filed with admiration and enthu-
siasm for everything in the wide
world as he was. About things that
you and take for granted, he went
into raptures.
In the lowliest and meanest OF
lives he saw qualities to praise. Yes,
I'm sure his genius was the genius
for admiration and that that was
what made him liked and popular
and happy, for you know what I am
telling you, that he was happy
man. How could he be otherwise
when he found all the world and its
contents infinitely beautiful and ex-
citing?
AS I was thinking about him last
night I couldn't help comparing him
contrasting him rather-with an
other friend. In his friends this other
friend of mine finds nothing to ad-
mire, absolutely nothing. He attacks
everything: The institutions which
men have founded are grounded on
stupidity. The heads Of our govern
ment are crooks. Is he happy? You
know he Is not.
I think it probably is easier to be
like the second man I have told you
about than the first, for it seems to
be one of the traits of human nature
to like to find fault rather than to
find things that are good.
Yet I am convinced that anyone,
with a little practice and attention
to the job, can acquire part OF the
genius of the man I started telling
you about in this little article-the
man who had the genius for admira-
ton.
Just as an experiment suppose for
one day only you do not criticize
anything or anybody. Look for
something to admire and praise. II
you look hard enough for something
to praise, you can find it, but il
you don't find it right off, don't say
a word of criticism-just keep still
if you can't praise.
It's amazing the effect this has on
your life and on your outlook on the
world.
One man to whom I gave this ad.
vice a short time ago said it was
like going out into the sunlight after
leaving a darkened room when he
began to see the world as an ad'
mirer rather than as a fault-finder
Consider that an experiment ot
this kind will take just one day Of
your time and not cost one cent.
Don't you think it's worthwhile?
