W K D RSD A Y, NOVEMBER 1 "Ml 8 LA GRANDE EVENTNO OBSERVER- ' PflE THREE SENSE TRAINING FOR LITTLE ONES NATUtK NTIDV-GOOD MNHOD FOJt TKAt'HINU FACTS AT First Hund. ; (Mrs. Bertha Enieltn) Fuom about tlio age of 3 and intending Indefinitely through child hood yours, there Is no moro valu able aid for the mother who de sires to promote the . well-being .of her child; en than walks and talks. It Is usually most difficult for the komokeoping mother to find sufficient leisure or rather, unin terrupted leistiie to .concentrate on work or play with her children. -We are all only to) familiar with tho interruptions of the butcher, the baker, the telephone, . the , friendly neighbor, which break In repoatedly until one 'gives up' In despair. But when you leave your home and Its distractions behind you, you begin to realize that you have found a way in which you can say with Fioebel,. "Come, let us live with our children." - These , walks and talks can be useful both to the city mother and the country nioth.v, though it will be easily seen that the country mother has the advantage in this respect. The city mother will have to substitute, for the suggestions ' below, tho city parks, the river or lake front, visits to the large fac tories, museums . and historic points of Interest. ' You can make the walks as long or as short as your 'leisure permits? you can plan them for every day or every other day, morning or afternoon; and after a month's trial you will begin to realize tHeto- value, for yourself as much as for the child ren. Tho blue sky and the great outdoors will take you away from the "pettiness of the thousand and one trifles that continually intrude themselves upon youir ' attention while you remain within four walls, and they will be equally uplifting In taking the little ones away es pecially is this true In small towns from the potty small-talk that emanates from the porches and the front stoor.3 and passes along tho sidewalks from." house to house and from child to child. It Is well for you to decide up on your' destination before you . call the children with "Lot's go to tho pond today!" or "This is a groat day .for tho wioods!". A playmuto or two taken along occa sionally (and frequently if you huvo but one child) will lend ad ditional zest to the walks and will enlarge your opportunities of get ting bettor acqpaiiited, not only with the playmates, but with your own children in relation to their playmates. In tho case of very young chil dren, places vo:y near home will serve as well ns the moro distant goals which aro usually more at tractive to tho other children. She pond or tho stream under tho biidgo, or tho waterfront, the beach, or tho rocky boulders that can bo sealed, or the woods seek them out in your vicinity. Try every road and seo where it leads to. The udjoinlns town, if it be within two or three miles, makes a splendid objective point with older children, and a trolley ride will bring you back should timo or fatigue make it necessary. Try to forget all your grown-up dignity on these walks (especially ir .it be a country road, and have as much fun and laughter as the children aro readjf for. Wear on ly stout shoes and "roughing dollies. Sometimes permit the children to take skales, or a blcy cle, or a velocipede, a wagon or jaunting curt, or a sled, a hoop, or hoise reins. All these will pro vide additional attractions when tho children seem loath to leuve their street play. These walks will develope your children physically, fully as much 1 as any systematic exercises, ana tho variety of "stunts" that will be initiated along the ijoad will astound you. In some of them you may join! others will teach you to have control of your nerves, while the children develop strength and Independence thereby. So far as the physical activities a:e concerned, you need suggest voty little ; v tho children will ini tiate as much as there are time and energy for. There will be walk ing forward and backward, sonie- ' times wilh eyes shut, sometimes on stone walls and in ditches; there will bo running, skipping, hopping, jumping from different heights, whistling and singing, games or 'Tollow master," racing, stone throwing and stick-throwing into ponds and trees, and tree-climbing. That the "walks rr.d talks" are a great mental stimulus Is readily apparent, when one reflects for a moment upon the opportunities for asking and answering questions tnat seldom ariso in tho school room; the opportunities to obseive public work that is going on away from one's In. mediate neigh borhood; the roadbulldlng, the dig ging of trenches and laying of mains, the setting and taking down of telegraph poles, tlu: op' e ntlon of the switch towers near the railroad bridge, the regulation of traffic, the construction of build ings.

" Perhaps .some concrete Illustra tions will servo to good purpose: Senso Training Stand still a few moments with eyes shut; , listen intently, then toll what Was heard. Look 'Intently in all directions, close eyes, and tell what was seen. Name objects (seeds,', flowers, twigs, etc.) by touch alone with eyos shut. Point to every bird's nest ob served on the walk. Find nil tho maple trees along one road. By taking one tree at a time you will soon bo surprised to discover how 'many trees you and the children can name. These walks will also contrib ute to spiritual growth In no small measure. They will afford a basis of companionship that with the oHot years is not readily outgtown, and many fond memories vill clus ter around these mile trips. Per haps tho same walks, though less frequent in the adolescent years, may afford opportunity for the con fidences, the Ideals and ambitions that are so often into someone else's ears because, .the mother seems so busy in the ' home. At any rate, you will not stop the wulks and. talks when the kinder garten ago has passed. You will keep it. up from yu'ir to year, and each year will make them seem moro worth while. You will have 'to Increase your knowledge of na ture story's as tho years go by, hut with your interest to spur you on, unfl the many books on ( tin library shelves that are now ready to help you, this ought not to be difficult nor .burdensome. ' Faulty Judgment "Miss Jones," sternly Inquired the superintendent, "what has happened here? Five of your boys have black eyes nnd bruised faces." "The worst battered and most cheerful one Is the new boy," answered the sixth-grade teacher. "The others thought he was for pence at any price. But he wasn't," Patrlotlo Air Roused Her. i A Qulncy girl returned from a dance recently ut about 3 a. in. nnd could not be awakened for work. The alarm clock had no effect, nor did repented culls from members of the funilly. Her little brother tooted the reveille, but the girl was no soldier. Finally "The Star-Spangled Banner" was played, and to that the patriotic girl inuucdl ntcly responded. Boston, Globe. Observer advertising will bring re sults.
