I The Home Centre
Make It the Successful Rival of Outside Influences
4 There is no necessity to rnfr here into
the subject of the dangers of the street as
a playground for our children or of pro
mlscuous companionships and evil outside
influences. Alas, parents, both In cities
And suburbs, already Know only loo well
j by painful experience all that can bo-sal'
about Ir. Our present purpose Is rather to
j suggest some simple remedies and to urge
the development of u greater spirit of
comradeship between old and oung.
There la hut one way to keep our soung
people at home, and thai la the simples,
way in the World Just to make It the most
attractive place they can find, a place full
of laughter and Joy and south, of peace,
contentment and devotion one to another.
If wc love our children our happiness Is
bound up In theirs, BO that It should b
no hardship to turn the home oxer to the i i
youthful. Jos ous exuberance, forgetting
our own comfort nnd quirt, if our parents
3ld the tame for us In bygone yeaie
surely we can do no less for our young
ones: but If ihes iternl) denied us these
youthful pleasures we should be all th
more pager to see thHt our Hilldrcn enjoy
the happiness Wl were cheated out of.
i When out boys and crirl- ro-ch the dan
i gerous age we must be doubly careful re
garding what companionships they choose
If they always have been free to bring
their friends and schoolmate! into the
home the work of supervision is all the
mora easily carried on. If we object to
certain acquaintances they realize that It
is not without a well formed reason, foi
experience has taught them to trust to
our decisions The have learned to value
L our discriminations and to recognize our
fairness of Judgment.
Our boys would bo rather ashamed to
fancy a girl whom they felt Inatlnctlvelv
mother would r tiara unfavorably, and
eventually a standard Is reached by which
they classify the girls they meet the nnc
they would like to brine home nnd tho 1
they would hesitate to Introduce there,
i This applies even more strongly to
da.igi ten with their friends of both .-eves
but it dot s not mean that we should teach
them to be hypercritical, hut rather that
while holdlnc always to the highest ideals
Ihey must, none the less, accept the aver
sse person as he Is and make the best of
him.

A mother and father should exert them
selves to be popular with their children.
Doubtless this seems an odd saying, but

a couple of low bookcases that left a wide
passageway from the sitting room end

windows .n both parts were hung with

doors were hung with black and white,

To-day I occupy a position of respond- '
blllty lhat p .
iry I was given that position on account 'i
of my lai t and poise as well as my ability.
I should never have acquired it had 1 gone
on In my old contentious way. 1
"A reproof I received from one of my
superiors earls- In my career set me on the
road whl' h led to a nvre po-mal working
plane. Finding mc one day In one of my
ontentioits moodi -'There la one J
thing that vou have to learn, and that Is
that vou are only a spoke In the wheel. It
makes no difference how much stronger
or brighter or better spoke you rr.sy be. !
inicsa you are ;, prfrt of the wheel you do j
not do the business machinery a particle
of good. Life depends upon co-operation,
and people who are always flying off on a
tangent can never become of any real or I
last'ng va ue. It Is all right to put force
where It bcrng. but It Is ridiculous to b 1
always fighting against, instead of with
things 1'nless sou can learn to get along
svlth people Without contending you csn j
never be of any real business value, be- j
a use n . man or woman can control other j
people until they learn to control them I 1
sels es.' "
Success seldom comes until we learn J
this les.son. No matter how much enth.i- j
slasm. how much ardor, how much belt- 1
llancy we mas- have, if It Is misdirected I
it cannot help, but it muat hinder the wo-k
of the world Learn to work with peot. V
not against them Stand always for what 1
lis right and agalns' that which Is wronc. Sj
I but do :ot throw your energy Into con- ;
Istant sins ing against theories and opin
ions, and esen actions of others. Let your I
ardor and enthusiasm and your love of I
life he constructive Strive to bul'd up i
and not to tear down, for that Is the way I
to help on in the scheme of living.
