a boy never wears a cap, except on |
very stormy days. Even if he has to
go to church and Sunday school hat
less, what of it? He doesn't wear a
hat in church anyway. And if he real
ly wanted a enp he wouldn't lose It so
many times
I believe that is true. If a child
truly wants a thing he won't lose It
save rarely. He Is conscious of the
thing he wants to keep. He loses a
thing he Is not consclous of wanting.
The way to get him to keep his hat is
te make him conscious of needing it.
That you do by letting him go with

That goes for other things that he
loses and forgets. Do not replace it
and make him go without until he re.

A child forgets and loses the things

When you find that a child Is for.

things, habitually, consider the rea.
son. Study why he wants to lose or

child's mind Is always on his side. It

with a finality that Is as complete as

Don’t accuse the child of willfully

British Prime Minister MacDonald
was referred to by many American
newspapers, during his visit to Wash
ington, as the “son of Lossiemouth.”
A bulletin from the Washington
headquarters of the Nutional Geo-
graphic society, tells this little
Scottish town and the country round
about it,
“Lossiemouth, the prime
minister was born, and where he still
spends his infrequent holidays, Is a
tiny fishing village in northeastern
Scotland,” says the bulletin. “It les
