The other day he finished it and had the proud pleasure of looking upon the creation of his patient handi craft. Small but fine In texture and artistic In pattern it proved not only his skill in one of the most ancient and delightful of all the arts, but also his persistency and will power. As he wove the loose strands into firm-1 "ness he bound also his character into firmness. He is a better boy and will be a better man for having finished - the' Job. In mastering the raw ma terials, he moved on toward that com plete mastery, of himself which is the ideal state of man. Too frequently the divine affiutus of youth spends itself in pursuits worse than useless. When that occurs tne fault lies more often upon the'parents than upon the children. Interesting tasks are immensely alluring to the young; nothing i more consoling to ' the average boy than the knowledge that he is progressing toward the mastery of a difficult trade.

There's a difference. Labor for adults or children need not be drudgery; if the conditions are right ' labor develops man's joys. As a mat ter of fact children like and thrive upon work fitted to their strength and attuned to their understanding; little girls delight in carrying dishes, little boys in pounding nails and whittling sticks. To find the right vsort of work ' for children and so harness the play spirit for mind, body and soul, dovel- ' opment is one of the chief functions of the home. But application should not be pushed to the point of drudg ery, nor financial profit assume a com manding place in the calculations. shields and swords and 'spears, their swiftest locomotion was the chariot; vet all that was noble and all that is ignoble in war was there mirrored and transmitted to posterity with a power and fidelity which makes the "Trojan Woman" the last wOrd In the modern peace propaganda.
