; (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. There a decpcnfcig or

there Is a tremendous field for de

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,"

the girl was no soldier. Finally "The
Star-Spangled Banner" was played,
and to that the patriotic girl inuucdl
