agoing on i see hes back again damn mr barbour said mark testily that- what i say said george spitting to give emphasis inwardly he was preserving his real views of mr barbour till he had met that

on topics of importance he did not tell lies yet the ancients description oi the scene between jill and phillip barbour was one which he felt it impossible at first to believe kissing and acuddling like billyo were words which smote his heart so that he directly called old george a liar i dont believe a word of what you say he said and if youre joking i may as well tell you that its not the kind of joke i like theres no joke about it master hanson said george if i sees a thing i sees it and i saw them as plain as on a fillum and the funny part about it was that she didnt seem to be enjoyin it like most girls would seemed to me in fact as if she was crying theres no understanding girls in these days there was never a one who cried when i kissed em unknowingly old george had put the seal of veracity upon his words for mark remembered that he himself had observed jill to have been crying and he also remembered jills reluc tance to tell him the cause of her trouble no there seemed no cause to doubt georges words after that look here george he said tell me some more aboui it you seem to be speaking the truth and i may as well tell you that im more than in terested ive known you a long

shall tell her about it in the morning there was a hard gleam in georges eyes as he replied emphasizing his phrases by thrusting the stem of his pipe towards mark steady now master hanson ive knowed miss jill lot longer than you i always promised her father id look after her if anything happened to him and im going to do it theres some funny things ahappening round these parts at present there was the suspicion of a threat in georges final rod of the head and it came to marks mind that the old man kicw something about the mys terious mr barbour no it would not be prudent to offend george

response mother opened her mouth and then closed it how often had she herself made this transparent excuse to jim mie more times than she liked to admit for there were many times when jimmie had asked her to do something she did not want to do and she had used this subterfuge a child sees through any kind of pretense after a few experiences just as the adult catches on to a ma gicians sleight ot hand performance if he watches it times enough and children too perceive the trick in an oft repeated excuse this is the age in which the rod is spared to prevent humiliating the child wc appeal to his selfrespect and intelligence instead of forcing him to do things in place of bendidg his will to ours because we are older stronger or more experienced we try to treat him as a fellow citizen of course he is younger but he is a per son so we must treat him as a rea soning person and try to deceive him it we are to merit obedience how are we to teach him to respect us it we do not deserve respect to the ex tent of being honest most children accept an honest rea son for anything but when they ask for candy money the reply candy isnt gool for you loses force if mother eats candy on returning from her shopping trip if children ask for some luxury ami the reply is sincere we cant afford it now daddy is working hard to earn our money and mother is trying hard to be careful and saving with it the child rises to the occasion true he may confide to another child we cant afford it but his mothers reason is no longer an excuse simply to put him off her reason has become a virtue that the child respects and with which he ex pects to cooperate in other words his mother has helped him to a sense of values instead of teaching him the slippery uncertain habit of making ex cuses help for the child does not mean do ing things for him nearly as often as playing fair with him instead of dissembling the uptodate mother treats the child s she would a trusted adult she may have to reduce an ex planation to his simple vocabulary but the reason is just as valid and honest as she gives to anyone a simple explanation is far more satisfactory than an excuse for often it settles the issue instead of postpon ing it for further camouflage give the child the real reason for a refusal or a request and the chances are that ho will respond if he demurs try again explain that mother and dad dy cant always do what they wish make it clear that mother and daddy have to do many things they dont want to do because this brings re sults if jimmie wants to go to a ball game too often explain that mother would like to go calling but she must stay at home and cook dinner child ren are happier to learn early that special pleasures cannot be expected every day but whether economy the weather or the childs health is the reason tor the denial it is wise to state it simply and abide by it child ren learn reasonableness and honesty just as easily as they learn to de ceive so if mother prefers

latest notes from germany berlin has its naval quarter the recent anniversary of the ca battle of the falkland islands was utilized by the berlin authorities to honor the memory of those who built up the german navy of prewar days a number of streets near the former naval headquarters have been renamed after such men as admiral von tir- pitz count spee and admiral von schroedcr the berliner will also welcome hie change since it supplants names like hohcnzollernstrasse ami kaiserinaugustastrasse which are so common as to lead to confusion the most common street name is ber- linerstrasse there are thirtyone of them the explanation is simple most of these names date from the time when many of the suburbs now included in the capital were outside it all berlinerstrasse were naturally the
