Often ther,- i- a .-a.-.;y remark like "So you oon't know how to sDell it." We hi t a penny. Parents can lose a lot of pennies that way. But the c.irl result is that if she looks it iiu herself, and studies the proline i .tion she'll remember it the no?.! time. 1 think we've won her hk r. The old method was to make a kid a choice between putting his n"-e in the corner or running to the blackboard to write down "100 limes" seme word he has misspelled. All the poor gal or boy riots is copy without think ing, good. Another tiling the experts po-.ut r,:it i ; that parents can help '. a lot v;y pronouncing words cor- j red' at lmm and using good grammar. As one oidtimer working out of a red school house once put it. "If tiie kid hears 'ain't got none' or ain't goin' no place' at the supper table he ain't goin' no place on the speaker's plat form."

To RELIEVE Hot Weather Discomforts Shop at . . . irii f MARKET 1 I 1202 North Rivenida I V OPEN EVERY NIGHT 'TIL M MIDNIGHT y R. P. L. I want my family in my religion. Mrs. R. P. L. This is just his pretext. I R. P. L. I am a middle aged man and have had a com plete change of heart about re ligion that seems to be destroy ing my family life. When I married I made the terrible mistake of agreeing to raise our children in my wife's religion. I even promised that I would become a convert, but I somehow avoided doing this. At the time, I had no strong reli gious feelings, but I was so strongly attracted to my wife thst I felt that anything asso ciated with her must be good for me. Now I am feeling an increas ingly strong tug toward the re ligion in which my parents raised me, and I find it madden ing to think that my children are growing up in a hostile religion. I never realized that my re ligion could become vitally im portant to me, but this has hap pened and I find that I feel re vulsion toward my wife on ac count of our religious differ ences. Unless she agrees to come my way in this matter. I cannot continue to feel anything but estrangement. Mr. R. P. L I would do any thing to please my husband, ex cept the thing he demands that I be faithless to my religion. I can no more turn the children over to a faith that is strange to me than I could turn them over to a strange family or a strange countrv. My husband never attached any value to his religion or ever found any fault with mine until his affections began to stray. I think this line is just a cover-up on his part for running away from his family obligations. The Council The wife ques tions the husband's sincerity, and so do we. It is understandable that he should come to feel the tug of a childhood faith, and that this should become very strong. But it is to be doubted whether re ligion is the only or even the main influence that is alienating him from his wife and tempting him to run out on his family. He admits that he placed no value on his religion when he was attracted by physical love, and he admits that he promised to convert and then "somehow'' evaded the fulfillment of that promise. Under those circumstances, if he were now torn by a true re turn to religion, he would cer tainly be more understanding of his wife's position than he ap pears to be. We are quite certain that if he were to rely on the guidance of a clergyman experienced in such problems, he would approach his family with far moro under- . standing, patience and considera i lion. We do not suggest that a man snnuld oeny his religious voices for the sake of conveni i er.ee. but it is hardly necessary to I be as deliberately brutal as this man appears to have been, j We do suspect, therefore, that ' this man is mislabelling his moti vation, lie should not'blame his weaknesses or waverings or bore dom on religion. His story sounds ; like just a pretext, but if this is I due to the fact that he has ! stated his case nonrlv and if he still feels that the problem is es sentially religious, then he should seek guidance from one who is richly exoerienced in surh problems, a clergyman.
