MEMBER OF WILLAMETTE VALLEY EDITORIAL ASSOCIATION MEMBER OF OREGON STATE EDITORIAL ASSOCIATION THIS PAPER REPRESENTED FOR FOREIGN ADVERTISING BVT"E GENERAL OFFICES NEW YORK AND CHICAGO BRANCHES IN MX THE PRINCIPAL CITIES TRAINING LITTLE CHILDREN Iieiug a Good Mother Requires Understanding, Devotion Often Sacrifice of Many Pleasures As a Reward ' Such a Mother, lias Healthy, Happy and More Intelligent Children and Suggestions by mothers' who have been kindergartners. Issued by the United States Bureau of Education, Washington, D. C, and the National Kindergarten Association, 8 West Fortieth Street, New York. ' (By Mrs. Isabel S. Wallace) The education of young girls should prepare them for the greatest work in the world wifehood and mother hood, and I wish they could all have courses in home-nursing, domestic science and kindergarten training. My training as a kindergartner taught me many things, among them keeping strictly to. a schedule; so my baby was fed, bathed and put to bed regularly. Habit is formed early in life, and can help to make or mar character, depending on whether hab its are good or bad. This carrying out of a regular schedule was not always easy, for it meant sacrifice of many pleasures. But I wanted to be a good mother first of all, and I was rewarded by having a happy, good baby. Even now at six years old there is no fuss at nap time or bed time. One of the things taught un consciously in the kindergarten ia regularity and promptness, and these can be taught in the home just as well. Long before baby could talk she knew the little play for the fingers, "Here's a ball for baby." Here's a ball for Baby, Big and soft and round! Here is Baby's hammer 0, how he can pound! Here is Baby's music Clapping, clapping so! Here are Baby's soldiers, Standing in a row! Here's Baby's trumpet, Toot-too-too. Too-too! Here's the way that Baby Plays at "Peek-a-boo!" Here's a big umbrella Keep the Baby dry! Here's the Baby's cradle Rock-a-baby by! Emilie Poulsson. The ball is made with the two hands rounded together; the hammer by doubling up the hands and pound ing, one on top of the other. Baby's soldiers are made by holding all the fingers up straight. The hands are clapped together for the music, and doubled up, one in front of the other, for a trumpet. For peek-a-boo the fingers are spread in front of the eyes so that baby can see between them. The umbrella is made by placing the palm of one hand on the index finger of the other, and the cradle by putting the two hands to gethor, insides of the pulm,s touching and outer sides open. As I said the words of this little play and made the motions, baby would try to make the motions, too. She also knew "Five Little Squir rels," "Good Mother Hen" and "Lit tle Squirrel Living Here." Of course, she could not play them perfectly, but she loved them and wanted me to play them for her over and over. Baby also loved music and even when very tiny would stop crying to listen to soft music. She has always loved stories. also. First we took up "Mother Goose Rhymes." I would repeat them over and over to buby as I sat sewing and she played on the floor, and before she was two years old she knew a great many of them. She also knew the words of several little songs, such as "Rock-a-bye Baby." It was enchanting to hear her say them in her sweet baby way. I never actually taught her the songs, however, simply singing them over and over again. Baby played with two other little girls from the age of three until over four. One was younger and the other, older than she. The two little girls did not have much home train ing, as their mother was a society woman and left the children to the care of a maid. They almost lived at our house. When the children grew quarrelsome I usually suggest ed a party. The little table and chairs were gayly set on the piazza, weather permitting, and milk, gra ham biscuits and dates were served or grape juice and arrow-root biscuit. Sometimes an apple or an orange was carefully prepared, for the oc casion. Such a party always stop ped the quarreling. Sitting down rested them and eating quieted them. Then after they had finished I left my work and told them a story. Oh, how eager their little faces were! One day, the younger visitor, who was spoiled and 'selfish and conse quently quarrelsome,, was making things unpleasant for the other two. I entered the room and quietly took her on my lap. She knew she had been naughty and was a little afraid of me and also curious as to what was going to happen. The other two children watched with awe and won der on their little faces. Very quiet ly I told a story my grandmother us ed to tell me about "Naughty Spotty." It made a great impression on them all, and, as I had foreseen, it was not necessary to say one word of direct censure to the naughty child. Both of our little visitors were story hungry. Their mother said she could not tell stories. By reading a story over several times and getting its meaning and spirit, anyone can tell a story. Don't be afraid to put expression into your voice and face. No stories should be told which may frighten a child. The children may dream about them or lie awake in fear; suclv stories also make them afraid in the dark. Then there are pictures. Good pic tures and picture books are very necessary for children. One or two pictures that are worth while are better than many poor ones. Since babyhood my little girl has known and loved pictures. She learned pear ly all of the animals in that way. She has also learned how to handle a valuable book and now1 she can be trusted to go to the bookcase and take out and replace a book after looking at the pictures, and asking about them. Good pictures are an education to all children and they' love them. " In kindergarten children play with blocks among other things, at first with the simplest kind, then with more complicated and larger sets. They are directed and taught how and what to build, and it trains the eyes and hands, teaching accuracy and construction. At home most children have blocks and can build for hours. My husband builds castles and all kinds of wonderful houses with our little girl, and in this way the building becomes more and more instructive and worth while. Crayons have played a large part in our daughter's life. She loves to draw and can really draw well. I have drawn simple things for her and she tries to copy them. She also tries to draw what she sees and thus in these two ways' she is acquiring another medium of self-expression. CAPITAL MEETS LABOR IN LONDON A meeting took place last week in London which was reminiscent of the early meetings in English history be tween the three estatec of the Lords, the Clergy and the Commons which finally gave rise to Parliament itself. This was the gathering of the em ployers and employed in Central Hall, Westminster, to discuss capital and labor problems. It was a sort of in dustrial Parliament in which the state was represented by Robert Home, labor minister, in the chair, with Lloyd George and several other members of the Cabinet, while three hundred of the principal employers of the kingdom who had been summon ed sat beside five hundred labor dele gates said to represent 10,000,000 workers. This body is to meet again by April 5 to hear the report of a committee elected last week and it may be that this meeting inaugurat es a new and permanent institution in British life. The most striking feature of all the speeches, Lloyd George's speech. as well as the speeches of the Labor ' members, was a sense of the ' new responsibility of both parties in in dustry and a general feeling that the old conditions of pre-war days were gone beyond recalling. On the other hand wild speech was discouraged: a speaker from the new Police Union who delivered himself of clap-trap, was jeered down while workers like J. H. Thomas, who pressed demands for better conditions of life for the laboring class, admitted, in the next breath, that only hard sustained work could produce national wealth. Speaking for the government Sir Robert Home frankly declared that the government intended to reduce unemployment benefits and was op posed to national factories as tend ing to dampen industrial initiative, but simultaneously promised to speed up public contracts and means to meet the housing evil. Lloyd George, whose speech was a personal triumph, appealed for mutual confidence be tween Labor and Capital. "In the darkest hour of the war," he said, "I appealed to the whole British people to hold fast. Now I appeal to you employers and employed to hold to gether. ' After Lloyd George's speech, the meeting, by a great majority, decid ed to set up a joint committee on in dustrial problems to be composed of thirty representatives of the employ ers and an equal number of labor representatives, including women, with a chairman appointed by the government. They are to meet at once, press forward the inquiry into practical problems forthwith, and present their recommendations to the full congress. West Linn C. W.

HALL PLEADS GUILTY THROUGH HIS ATTORNEY In tho ctese of Sauvie vs. Hall, in which Sauvie charged Hall with pass ing a bad check in payment for a horse to the amount of $50, the at torney for Hall entered a plea of guilty 'in the circuit court here last Thursday.

Dairymen are entitled to a fair profit on their investment and labor, but it is not fair to consumers of dairy products to be taxed for waste- ful production, comments the Oregon ian. Dairymen are today testifying to the value of scientific methods of production in cheapening the cost. In two years time my cream check has increased from $142 to $187 a month from the same num ber of cows," writes a Linn county member of the testing association. "My cows increased in milk yield 30 per cent as a result of improved ra tions," and "When fed "four rations, cows yielding 32 pounds of milk in creased tto 42 pownds," are other re ports of Oregon, dairymen. Feeding, breeding, record-keeping, silos, and testing, marketing and bull associations, are some of the cost production factors placed on a scien tific basis by dairymen cooperating with the federal department of agri culture and the state agricultural col lege. Some of the things done are send ing 164 slacker cows to the butcher, buying 11 pure-bred bulls for asso ciation members, erecting 41 silos, purchasing 24 car loads of dairy feeds, organizing, three new testing association members, and checking 31 separators. Dairymen who were operating at a loss may turn it into profit by im proving one or more of those factors.
