Kindergarten Helps
By MRS. HARRIET AYERS SEYMOUR.
I KNOW a mother with four children who made up her mind that home
should be a very heaven. To her, music was God's special gift to
mothers and children, and so she began singing regularly with
each of her babies. ,
There are many lovely aongs which a mother can learn, ana tne
best of all are the folk songs of different countries.
A gay song for baby as he eats his breakfast and a quiet one as he
lies down to go tot sleep these will 6ink in deep and form a wonderful
foundation for the music of his life. ' ,
With the older babies have a regular singing time. Five o clock is
a good hour. The children of whom I apeak Had a "singing party"
every day at 5, and sometimes the neighbors came In and sang with
them. Their mother grew to be such a strong influence "in the com
munity that many persons came to her for advice and refreshment.
Nagging is often simply a lack of something better to do. A friend
of this woman in speaking of her home life said, "She has substituted
singing for nagging."
Joy is the best tonic there is, and happiness creates health. The
children's song hour will affect the atmosphere of the whole house.
Any mother who has had the regulation music lessons can play
simple songs and can learn to guide her children into a singing life.
Sing "Come and be washed," instead of saying it. Here is a little
tune spontaneously sung by a child of 6: "Something ever, ever sings."
I The little child was right, but the trouble is, most of us do not
listen.
Askyour question in song, mother, and soon you will be answered
by a cheerful singing reply. .
"Baby where are you?" sung on a simple ascending scale will soon
bring a musical reply from a hidden child of "I am hiding here.'
Play softly, sing gently and listen.
During the day take some familiar tune and swing the rhythm with
the arms. Let the children step it, finding out where the slow and quick
steps come. Afterward, have them draw s, lines 6n the blackboard to
show this duration .thus: : . Let
them find out in which direction the tune goes,vup or down, and make
pictures of it either denoting the direction with a sweep of the hands or
drawing a sweeping line on the blackboard.
Singing, swinging, stepping and making pitch and duration pictures
the children live in music as fish in water or birds in the air. ;
If there are quarrels and tears, play something pretty and think the
word harmony. See how this calms the atmosphere. The mother I
speak of controlled her children almost entirely through the, power of
constructive thought and music. They easily yielded to the word peace
sung gently over and over.
Mothers, if they only knew it, have the making of a new world of
love in their keeping, and music is a torch to light them on the way.
To a mother who does not know any music, jl say, if you can, get
some one to come. for an hour every day to sing with your children at
twilight. See to it that the words of the songs are constructive and beau
tiful and learn to sing a little yourself. Everyone can sing a little.
Join the community chorus and if there isn't one, start one.
"A singing army is a winning army." A singing family is a spirit
ually growing family and music the link that brings heaven to earth.

tional Kindergarten association.
Of Interest to Women
The members of Queen Mary's
Army Auxiliary corps now have
their own school in London for the
education of women clerks for the
army.
In various universities and colleges
throughout the United States many
women are now being trained for po
sitions as factory employment man
agers. Miss Annie Tobey, an operative in
the electrical shop at the Porti
mouth N. H., navy yard, made a
record for women riveters recently
whin she drove 264 copper rivets in
to batteryboxes in two hours.
An
ffi-i' 'Endless
r" Job, '
The task of building a
business never ends,
unless the end be failure.
I have been frequently asked the question why it is
necessary to advertise this dental office day after day
and year after year, the inference l(which wag politely
hidden) being thattf I was worthy of support and patron
age, that the public would patronize me on the strength
of past publicity.
Very few people dispute the gospel; the grealj major-'
ity believe themselves Christians yet eloquent ministers
preach from millions of pulpits every week, TO THE
FEW SINNERS STILL UNCONVINCED.
The greatest honor we can bestow upon an American
is to make him, President we have all Tead the names of
the various men who have filled the presidential chair,
and yet I dare say fifty per cent of the people cannot
today namQ half the Presidents or state their politics
or when they served.
Advertising, with rare exceptions, is forgotten quickly,
if allowed to lapse. It is much like washing dishes you
must do it over and over if you keep on eating.
Today there are thousands of people in Nebraska and
contiguous territory who know of "Painless Withers Den
tistry," and there are as many who have never heard
of it.
There are hundreds yho read my advertisements who
have never been in my office; some because they have
their own dentists; some because they imagine it is wrong
to patronize an advertising dentist, and still others who
do not believe in my skill or my sincerity.
These are the people I want to reach these are the
people I want to CONVINCE that I can save them time,
pain and money; that the service rendered patients in this
office is equal to and often superior to that rendered in
the higher priced "ethical" offices; that good judgment,
and economy, beckon them to my office and only preju
dice holds them back.
That is why I am preaching this "lay sermon" every
week it is the! pnly way to prove my faith in mysel
and the public.
