JUNE 1925 JUNE 1925 THE UNITED AMERICAN MOLDING THE CHILD’S LIFE Dr. Roswell E. Cemans IF EVERY MOTHER could be convinced that her L child has within itself the potentiality of success in at least some one line of activity, half of the battle for a better humanity would be won. A child’s brain is always at work and it is a crime to permit it to waste its energy upon useless processes. The development of any child’s mentality is never diffcult when it takes place along natural lines; a dull child only reflects a dull teacher, as a child’s brain power should develop as easily and as consistently as his physical functions, of which he is unconscious. MORAL INSTRUCTION Dr. Herbert Blackhurst MODERN PSYCHOLOGY is beginning to point out that successful moral instruction is not so much a matter of directing the child’s reading and thinking about moral principles as it is a matter of guiding the child’s activities along lines which are in keeping with those principles. No business that has not the well-being of the public as its principal aim and object can ever succeed. It is only the business that practices the Golden Rule in all its dealings with the public which can prosper.— Science of Thought Review. VICTORY OVER THE IMP OF DISCOURAGEMENT Anon. In the street of life, walking in the darkness of the shadow, sly old Satan was hunting with his dogs, the little imps of human weakness. A man came walking down life’s street. Satan said to one little imp, with a wry face, “Go get him for me.” Quickly the imp crossed the street, silently and lightly hopped to the man’s shoulder. In his ear he whispered: “You are discouraged.” “No,” said the man, “I am. not discouraged.” “You are discouraged.” The man replied this time: "I do not think I am.” Louder and more decidedly the little imp said: “I tell you, you are discouraged.” The man dropped his head and replied: “Well, I sup pose I am.” The imp, hopping back to Satan, said proudly: “I’ve got him, he is discouraged.” Another man passed. Again old Satan said: “Get him for me.” The proud little demon of discouragement repeated his tactics. The first time he said: “You are discouraged.” The man replied emphatically, “No.” The second time the man replied: “I tell you that I am not discouraged.” The third time the man replied: “I tell you I am- not discouraged. You lie.” The man walked down the street, his head up, going toward the light. The imp of discouragement returned to his master crestfallen. “I couldn’t get him. Three times I told him he was discouraged. The third time he called me a liar and that discouraged me.” ¿■III llllllllllllllllll I llllllllIllillllllllllllIIllllllllllllllllllllHI Iinillltflllllttltlltlllllllllllllll^ OSCAR JAMSA YOU can depend on Shoes for Men and Women Repairing Neatly Done - I 217 West Bond St., Astoria, Ore. f | TÎtlIllllllllIflIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIItlIlllllllllllllllllllllllIlllllllllllllililiiiiiiitniiiiiiiiKX ¿«iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiHimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimmiiiiiiiiiimiitiiiiiimiiiiiiitiiiiiimiiiiiiiiiiiiii I CLASSIFIED Professions—Business ATTORNEYS NELS JACOBSON = 806 N.
