Home Work Retards Children By WOODS HUTCHINSON, M. D. The motto of the new schools of today is, "Everything that helps the child to grow." They don't stop to quibble over whether the growth is mental or physical ,or moral all growth looks good to them, and they proceed to get behind it and boost it. Because they have discovered that there is only one kind of growth aft er all, and that what looks like, main ly, physical development today, helps mental growth' tomorrow, and moral all the time. In one sense, you can't teach morals at all io a child; just set him a decent example and let him grow his own. In another sense, you just can't help teaching them all the time, because they're inherent in everything. There is nothing foreign or Imported or come-down-trom-the-skies about them; they simply go with the job, belong to the game, are the only way to play it squarely, fear lessly, kindly. A child's mind and a child's character grow just as natural ly and as irrepressibly and to as sure and definite a goal as its body does and anything that really helps one helps all three. But the new nineteenth century ed ucation is setting itself to protect and improve the child's health in another most effective fashion. One of the many problems of child welfare which the schools have had to face, but have hitherto blandly ignored, was that of work done by the children outside of school. A very considerable percent age of children in both town and city schools have tasks or chores or jobs of various sorts to do, at home or for the family, either permanently from poverty or in the emergency of sick ness in the family or failure of health in the bread-winner. Within reasonable limits, both as to time and strain upon their strength, this sort of homework is no drawback in fact, may be a very valuable part of a child's training. But when such tasks begin to take too much of his time or to tax his strength, they be come a real and serious handicap, and prevent his devoting the full strength and energy that he should to the al ready heavy and most confining school program. Delivering newspa pers or milk, for instance, or doing barn chores or tending furnaces for neighbors, which involve getting up at 6, or even 5 o'clock in the morning, often bring the child to school all tired out, fatigued by three or four hours of active occupation, to face three hours of imprisonment at the desk, instead of fresh from bed and breakfast, as he ought to come. Many a child has laid the founda tion of a lifelong dyspepsia or neuras thenia or chronic anaemia by this sort of double duty and overstrain m his school days. Parents and teachers both mean well, but they seem desperately afraid that the poor youngsters will never learn to work, develop habits of industry when they grow up unless they begin crowding UIIIMIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII CHRISTIAN SCIENCE LECTURES I FIRST, SECOND AND THIRD CHURCHES Announce Lecture on CHRISTIAN SCIENCE BICKNELL YOUNG, C.

''"11 their poor little noses down to the grindstone at the earliest possible age. So to make them like work and learning when they are grown up, they proceed to make them hate both while they are young. In some cases it is a survival of the old hard-fisted idea that chil dren ought to begin to do something toward earning their keep as soon as practicable, or even to pay back and return a profit on the expense of their rearing and maintenance be fore they can reach legal age and escape from the parental control As an old farmer 1 of my boyhood days used to sagely remark, "Boys is the most unprofitable stock a farmer kin keep. Jest ez soon ei they begins to be wurth the'r salt, they up and leaves yer." Among certain of our recently ar rived foreign-born peoples this par ental thrittiness ' runs to some sur prising extremes, which would be al most humorous if they were not so pathetic. For instance, in one of the lower East Side schools, in an Italian neighborhood, two black-eyed little curly heads, about nine and ten, while they would start in briskly enough at 9 o'clock, by 10 or 10:30 every morn ing would become so desperately drowsy and sleepy that they would fall asleep, not merely at their desks, but even on their feet, during recita tions. Scolding and persuasion alike had no effect. Beppo and Tito were ashamed and penitent to the verge of tears, they would do better next time, but when 10:30 came next morning they couldn't prop their eyelids open, even with their fingers. So the puzzled teacher very sensi bly concluding that there must be something wrong with their nervous systems, let them drop their heads on their desks and have their sleep out and at first chance went to call on their parents. There the mystery was quickly explained. Their father, who was a junkman, was working des perately hard to pay for a new horse that he had just bought, so he used to get his poor little assistants out of bed at 4 o'clock every morning and send them out to pick up scrap iron and bottles and salable odds and ends of every description from ash cans and back doors and back yards of shops and stores. So that each smalK would-be student had had near ly five hours of hard labor before he reported at the schools gates to begin his day's work. The only text book that they were fit to study was a com fortable cot with a pillow and bankets. Skinned THE HIGHEST QUALITY EGG NOODLES " 36 Pigf Red Bool Fnt SKINNER MFG. CO. OMAHA, USA lAJIGfST MACARONI FACTORY IN AMUICA s J"' ft -u f v in A Man's Fear BY DOROTHY DIX. The ultimaate insult to a man is to call him an "old woman." He would rather you applied every other vituper ative epithet in the whole category of abuse to him. Even among little boys the fighting word is "Sissy" or "Lizzie." Women share in the feeling of antipathy to anything that even smacks of the woman in man. It is what makes the big, coarse-fibered type of brute so fascinating to many women, and it is what makes her raise her sons up to be hoodlums. "I don't want my boys to grow up into being Miss Nancies," say the mothers, and so the lads are indulged in all of their natural savagery. As soon as a girl is old enough to under stand anything, she is taught that she must try to make herself charming to other people, that she must be dainty about her person and clothes, and that she must study the things that will refinC and cultivate her tastes. No such lesson is impressed on the boy. He is permitted a brusqueness in conversation, a slovenliness in dress, and a lack of manners that would not be tolerated an instant in the girl, and his mother excuses it on the ground of his sex and as a proof of how manly he is. And, in truth. good manners and cleanliness are so solely the monopoly of little girls that we have all come to think that a well mannered little boy is effeminate. Other mothers seem to think it will make their boys effeminate to perform household duties. We all know poor, tired, overworked women who slave over the cookstove and washtub while their sons, ten times as able to work as they are, develop their manliness and muscle playing base ball. Mother will work until she drops in her tracks before she will demean her boys by making them sweep and wash dishes and make beds and do women's work about a house. Yet, can anyone in their senses esteem a boy less manly for helping his mother? On the contrary, if it is to lighten the burden of her who has borne so much for him, does not the humble dishrag in his hands become as knightly a symbol as the colors the warriors of old pinned on their hel mets when they went out to do battle for their ladies?

There are plenty of men too pioud to work at what they consider wom en's work, but not too proud to let a woman work to feed and clothe them. As a matter of fact, in our fear of effeminacy we are like children fright ened of the bugaboo the' Pagina tion has conjured up. Why should it, be thought any degradation to the au gust masculine character to have fem inine traits? Why is it such a dis grace for a man to be thought to be like a woman in any particular? Every great preacher, every great writer, every great artist, every great actor, every great philosopher and teacher has been more than half fem inine in his mental makeup. It is when God gives a man a woman's in tuition and fineness of perceptions and delicate imagination in addition to his masculinity that He turns out a genius. Also we women know many things that men would be the better for being taught. We bring up otr boys in utter ignorance of everything domestic be cause we are so afraid of making them effeminate, yet that makes them the victims of every female with whom they have to deal. No man can even intelligently argue a question of household economy with his wife because he doesn't know any thing about it. She says it costs so and so to live, and that the children must have this and that. He may see that the net result is bankruptcy and ruin, but he doesn't know where the leaks are so that he can stop them. He can only offer the futile protest of ignorance to her waste and extrava gance. Men would also be benefited if their education included some elementary knowledge of color and material. We hear a great deal of the color blind ness of men. In most, cases it is noth ing but ignorance. A man would cer tainly be no less manly and he would be a far more satisfactory husband or son if he was cultivated along this line. .The majority of women will bear me out when I say that among the most agonizing moments of our lives have been those awful occasions when our husbands have, brought us home a new dress or hat as a present, or had the house papered in our absence as a surprise. A drawing room papered in gilt like a barroom, a bonnet of last year's vintage that the milliner had ? THE GREAT Western rule is "service which pleases our patrons is good service, and that which fails to please needs attention." When you become our patron you are entitled to sit in judgment on our ser vice. If we please you we are happy, but if there is ground for criticism then we ask you to give us the particulars, stating time, place, etc., so that we may apply the rem edy and avoid a repetition..

Dear fellow, and he meant so well. So we choke down our disappointment and breathe a prayer, "Lord, forgive him, for he knows not what he does," when he goes shopping. Another thing just think how much it would gild matrimony and do away with its monotony if hus bands possessed the feminine talent of small conversation and also if they had the eift of telline news. Did you ever think what a dull and silent world this would be if we depended on men to do the talking? It's the women who make the pleasant litle tinteresting chit-chat about the house. Of course, men say this is because they don't gossip, but I have yet to meet the man who didn't like to hear the news just as well as any woman, and who didn't feel personally ag grieved if his wife knew any she kept from him. We women are not too conceited to learn from men or try to imitate their good qualities. We read the things that they are interested in, and try to reach up to their broader point of view. Turn about is fair play, and men would be equally benefited by learning some of the things that we could teach them, and which they sadly need to know.
