The family dinner table educates him for better or for 'worse much more than does the cl&Rsrocm. If grown-ups talk much of sick ness, money vorrles, if the news paper items that cause comment are chiefly those concerned with crime, these thins will t?ko a large place in the child's developing conception of the world In which he lives. These will be the things that will Interest him. the things that he con siders important and will wont to know more about. t Certainly:- awareness o the un pleasant aspects cf life should have its place in the child's development, for' eventually he must take , his place In the real and not In the Ideal world. - ' , But he should acquire & balanced outlook, and this he canrot have If things vulgar, commonplace, ugly and unhappy bulk tco lprge in the body of Ills knowledge. Since the: world Is full of a num ber cf things, a great many of which are highly interesting, delightful and thought -provoking, it is the business of the child's home to make him aware of them. 'Periodicals and magazines, 'several of Which' come regularly to the typ ical American'-borne, should repre sent a variety of interests, with due consideration for the tastes of tho different members of the family. The books that llnd their way Into the. family living room, through the discussions they provoke, make a def inite contribution to the taste of growing children. Grown-upa owe it-to thir children as well asj to themselves, $o be In terested In and to talk about 'happy, worthwhile things. ARCHITECTURE DEAN : v ART CONGRESS AIDE EUGENE, Ore., Aug. 87.
