"What sort of a father are you? This question appears on all the pamphlets of the "Fathers' Club of the United States," organized a year ago and now having ten branch clubs. It's a mighty important question, too. One of the most important things in this life Is to be a father, which carries with it the obligation to be the right kind of a father. In the past the rearing of children has been, supposedly at least, left pretty much to mothers, but, really, father ought to always carry a least half of the burden, and, if mother is going oft into other "spheres," as some folks claim, the question as to what sort of a father father is will be come a hotter and hotter one. If mother becomes more independ ent of father, more acceptably his equal, the chances are that the chil dren will follow her suit and father will have to become more the com panion and sympathizer and less the boss and the more or less dreaded head of the family.

It is a wise father who knows his children's father and it is a good plan for every father to often let all else go and systematically put himself under cross-examination as to "Whatsort of a father am I?" We say cross examination because he'll, very like ly, be almighty cross before he has put to himself many interrogatories if he's an honest father.
