BY THE WAY Immigrants often develop luxurious tastes in America's favorable atmosphere. In what was formerly "Mulberry Bend," the center of one of the populous Italian colonies of New York City, push-carts were recently seen which offered oranges at "two for a quarter" and pears at ten cents each. Fruit at these high prices would be regarded as a forbidden luxury by many economical persons, but the East Sider with money in his pocket often spends it prodigally. The steel ship Westgrove, launched at Portland, Oregon, March 27, was built in sixty-one days. This is said to be a record; the previous record, sixty-four days for a steel ship, was held by a Seattle firm. That firm was a good record-loser, for it sent to the builders of the Westgrove this friendly despatch: "We wish you the best of luck in launching the Westgrove. This kind of successful rivalry is the spirit that should be shown to meet the Nation's crisis. Hearty congratulations on your great achievement." 66 The Army camp papers form the subject of an article in the "American Printer." Every camp, it says, has at least one of these papers, and some camps have three or four. Some are published monthly, a large number appear weekly, a few appear now and then," and at least one, the "Sheridan Reveille," is published daily, at Camp Sheridan, Montgomery, Alabama. The article specially commends the "Camp Dodger," of Camp Dodge, Des Moines, Iowa, as "a model, comparing very favorably with the most efficient metropolitan papers." A snappy response to a somewhat hackneyed question was given by a big Oregonian recruit in a training camp, as reported in "Collier's." A civilian visitor asked him, "And are you willing to die for your country?" "I am not," was the quick response; "I want to make some German die for his." How did the Roman audiences at gladiatorial combats indicate their wish that the prostrate loser of a fight should be slain by the victor? The popular impression is that they turned their thumbs down. This is the gesture of the cruel-looking spectators pictured in Gérôme's famous painting. A recent novel, however, dealing with Roman life, "thumbs down" as a sign of mercy; and the authorities seem to sustain the view. One encyclopædia says: "The defeat of one of the combatants was marked by a cry of Habet' from the spectators, who then decided his fate, turning up their thumbs if they wished that he should be. killed by the victor." uses In stories about experiences in a Soldiers' Home in Paris Miss C. K. Corey tells in the "National Geographic Magazine" how one of the men on leave from the front brought her a bunch of violets because she " was so good to him yesterday." He had had to search for it, and said, "Why didn't somebody tell me just to walk till I smelled the perfume? I found it all right, and it cost me a pretty penny, too. Say, I'll bet a guy could spend a thousand francs a day in this town and lead a righteous life. And if he lived the other kind— "There are air tricks that save a pilot and tricks that kill him. The latter are tricks like the tail slide,' in which the machine is really misused." So says Lieutenant Pollock in "Flying." The "tricks that save are taught in their perfection by Lieutenant Simon, in the famous school of acrobatic flying at Pau, in the south of France. Some of these are the vrille (the gimlet), the renversement (reversing in direction), the "barrel roll," etc. "Looping," it is said, is not encouraged by Lieutenant Simon, as it is of little value in a fight and is extremely hard on a finely adjusted machine. Frederick Douglass and Booker T. How About This Vacation Season? Proprietors of sum mer resorts are now preparing for the sea- For all such we sug- gest an Washington are placed by a new book, Out-of-Doors "The Negro in Literature and Art," as foremost among the educated orators of their race, while "two unusual individuals, untutored but highly gifted in their own spheres," Sojourner Truth and John Jasper, are mentioned as among the foremost natural orators. "Douglass swayed his audience, and even himself," is the comment, "by the sweep of his passion and rhetoric; Washington studied every detail and weighed every word, always keeping in mind the final impression to be made." Sojourner Truth, "tall, majestic, but quite uneducated, dazzled her audiences by her sudden turns of expression." Jasper made himself famous by his "sun do move "sermon, a characteristic effort. J. C. Price, for years President of Livingstone College in North Carolina, is pronounced "one of the truest orators the Negro race ever had," while “many who heard him will insist that he was foremost." The "Book of Job" series of drawings by William Blake, the famous English artist-poet, was sold in London recently for 3,800 guineas (about $19,000). It is said that Blake once offered these drawings for 21⁄2 guineas ($12.50)! A check recently sent to The Outlook by an appreciative subscriber for the renewal of his subscription was made out simply to "The Best Magazine in the World." In indorsing it the Treasurer of The Outlook was obliged to supplement these words on the reverse side of the check with the name intended-"The Best Magazine in the World-THE OUTLOOK." Little amenities of this sort on the part of our readers, while thus placing some embarrassment upon "modest merit," none the less bring joy to both publishing and editorial departments. Our Puritan foremothers developed three delectable dishes from unpromising materials, according to the teacher of a New England cooking class-pumpkin pie, brown bread, and baked beans. To these two might be added good things specially associated with Rhode Island-johnny-cake and the clam bake. And were not mince pies a New England invention?

New Methods in Child Training Highest Authorities Being a good parent is the biggest job on earth. Upon how we train our children depends their entire future success and happi ness. Yet what training have most of us had in this all-important work? Instead of using scientific methods in our contact with the most delicate mechanism in the world-a child's mindwe often use methods that do irreparable injury. What chance would a fine Swiss watch have if, knowing nothing about watchmaking, we tried to adjust it with a hatchet and a crowbar? As absurd as that may seem, thousands of loving parents with their whole beings wrapped up in their children's welfare are using methods fully as unsuited-fully as dangerous and harmful. For a child's mind needs far more intelligent care than the most delicate watch ever made. And very often the method we use to correct one bad habit is the very cause of other bad habits which can easily wreck the entire life of the child. Where We Go Wrong The trouble in the past has been that when a child is disobedient, untruthful or "naughty," we punish the child for exhibiting that symptom. What we should do is to attack the cause. Not by punishment, but by co-operation. When we attack the symptoms instead of the cause, we very often irritate the cause instead of removing it. Millions of children are deceitful because the parents in trying to overcome some other bad habit have caused them to be deceitful. Who Is To Blame? When a child is straightforward, obedient and willing-when it is courageous, generous and fine in every way, it is that way because the parent made it so. And the reverse is equally true. When a child is untruthful, selfish and disobedient, it is not the fault of the child but of the parent. You can make your children what you will. Character is nothing more than a set of established habits. Whether these habits are good or bad depends on the parent. The parent has no one but himself to blame for the conduct of his offspring, not only when young, but throughout life. of the average parent that to cure impertinence? Dis- to encourage child to to teach punctuality? Perseverance? Careful ness? to overcome obstinacy? to teach honesty and truthfulness? These are only a few of the hundreds of questions fully answered and explained, in a way that makes application of the principles involved easy through this course. they have done as well But now, for the first time, there is constructive help at hand. A great organization, the Parents Association, an international society with members in all parts of the world, has been formed to guide parents in the upbringing of their children. The principle upon which this association was founded is that in dealing with children confidence is the basis of control. Professor Ray C. Beery, A.B., M.A. (Harvard and Columbia), the founder of the Association, after years of exhaustive research and practical experihas created a complete Course in Child Training, endorsed by leading educators everywhere, which is available to members of the Association. ence, This course is unlike anything that has ever gone before. Instead of dealing in generalities, it is intensely definite and practical, and tells the parent exactly what to do in each individual case to produce immediate and permanent results. It is meant for the modern busy parent of children from the cradle to 18 years of age. The "Case" Method The method used by Professor Beery in his Course in Child Training is essentially the same as that now used in teaching the law, except, of course, that it is condensed and remarkably easy to apply. Instead of devoting pages to a theoretical discussion of the various traits and habits which are to be The Parents Association, Inc. Dept. 15-B, 449 Fourth Avenue, New York City cured, Professor Beery shows in each instance exactly how some other parent in the same situation has applied his methods to secure results. For instance, suppose your child is aged four, and is afraid of the dark. All you have to do is look up this trait in the index for children of that age and then turn to the proper page. Here you will find in detail an example of how some other parent cured a child of this fear through Professor Beery's methods. No other teacher of child training has ever attempted to handle the subject in such a practical, easy to apply way. It means that in addition to a constructive, thoroughly organized system of child training, you have the daily help you need to overcome all undesirable characteristics as they develop. Personal Service In addition to the complete Course in Child Training, by Professor Beery, members of the Parents Association enjoy many other equally worthwhile benefits such as the privilege of personal consultation through the mail with Professor Beery on any particularly vexing child training problem, exchange of experiences of other members through the Association's Bulletin which is issued regularly; free Purchase Service, which enables you to buy children's books at publisher's prices, advice as to schools, camps, etc. But we have not the space here to give the whole wonderful story. Free Book Explains All New Methods in Child Training" is the title of a 24-page illustrated booklet which describes the work of the Association and explains Professor Beery's remarkable Course in Child Training. It also contains letters from members outlining the astonishingly satisfactory results they have secured through these New Methods. A copy of this book will be sent at once to any interested parent who merely writes a letter or postcard; or, mail the coupon below.
