Morality
By Anaeio Patri

We speak thoughtlessly. Sounds
borne on breath describes much
of what passes for talk. Somebody
says something that has meaning
for him. It is printed, then re-
peated by host Of readers, passed
on to those who only echo what
they hear and, in time, the phrase
becomes label on people, institu-
tions. practices.
"The schools do not teach mo-
rality" is such a phrase. A life
time spent in schools with children
and teachers bellies that statement.
There Is no classroom In which
pupils and teachers meet where
morality is not taught, stressed
and felt. It Is impossible to
teach without touching the minds
and souls Of people.
Beginning with the beginners
classes. children are taught to
obey rules. Obedience to the law
Is the beginning of morality. They
are taught that there Is a right
way to do everything from enter
ing a room to solving a problem.
The aim Of their activity is to be
right and do right. That is the
whole of morality. That is the
basis of all scholarly education.
When a child makes a mistake,
the teacher tells him he is wrong
and points out the right way, the
better way and encourages him
to follow it. This is true whether
the child makes a mistake in ad-
dition or strikes another child in
the playground. do what is
right" rings in the ears of the
children from the moment they
enter the school until they leave
it and the echoes follow them as
they 60.
Direct instruction in morals is
not as effective as the indirect
method. Children, like their eld-
ers. shrink from the sermon di-
rected toward them. But they
will accept, happily, the fable that
teaches the right and wrong of a
situation because while they get
the implications of the story they
are not impaled on a sword Of
personal criticism.
Along with the usual stories
taken from the Bible, the folk
tales handed down from genera
ton to generation, should 60
Aesop's Fables. Every child in
the first three years of the ele-
mentary school should hear, then
read. then tell these fables. They
are a pleasant way, a most eff
fective way. Of supplementing the
basic instruction in morality.
Do not believe that the schools
do not teach morality. They are
the bulwarks of a moral society.

BOON TO MOTHERS.

(From Mrs. r. B.. BeltsDille)
Here is helpful hint to
mothers of young children who
have to tie baby's shoe laces many
times a day.
Take a Lingerie Clasp" (from
any department or and 10 cent
store) and clip across the loops
and straight ends of baby's shoe
laces after they have been tied.
Laces will stay put all day long.
No more Stopping over and rety-
ing. Baby or small child can
not prysit loose.
Even since our baby boy wore
his first soft sole shoes (at about
8 months), I have found these
clasps the most effective means
OF keeping his shoes tied. At first,
I encouraged him to try to tear
them off in order to be sure. But
no matter how his tiny hands
tried for the shining piece of
metal, he could not pry it loose.
Now that baby is 20 months old
and runs around all day long, he
is never without the clasps on
the tied ends of his shoe strings.
Company manufacturing same
does not advertise this use and
apparently is not aware of it,
therefore today I have written
them alse as it is a boon to
mothers of young, children.
The particular brand to which
I refer will not open up and be-
come an object to be swallowed
by small children, which is very
important. 1t begins with a "w."
There might be other makes which
could be opened and I would never
advise anything that is doubtful
if used on small children.
