She has been visiting a sister at Courtland, Nebraska, for some time and Tuesday night was taken with a very severe attack that caused a great deal of alarm.

Knowledge comes by instruction, love and service comes by imi tation of those who know, love and serve Goel." Most mothers are psychologists by nature. They develop a certain "knack" in presenting to the child cer tain truths in a manner and in a vocabulary the child under stands, asserted Mrs. Swatek. Bible stories illustrating certain virtues: incidents - from the life of Christ and the Saints will inspire the child to cultivate good habits and help the child to subdue bad habits. The par ents give the child a pattern for life a rule to live by. The ten commanden's can be summar ized: the first three pertain to God. the other seven pertain to the rights of man. The social commandments teach: "Do un to others as you would want them to elo unto you." The child and mother can compose short prayers which are said at in tervals before the Our Father and other prayers are learned. A child at an early age can rr j learn to conduct himself in a respectful ana quiet manner during Divine Worship. While the parent is using the missal or rosary, the child can be us ing a picture prayer book to oc-cu-'v his time in devotion. Mrs. Swatek claimed that an "overly protected child" and a "bully" are the two types of problem children in school. These types show a deficiency in home training. Many children are taught to fear the school and teacher, long before they come in contact with them. "Most parents call the teacher only to register complaints, rarely does it happen that a parent shows sufficient interest to tell the teacher how well pleased he is with the work ac complished in the class room."
