The night was cool and peaceful after a hot day. Frank had just come from a business trip and it was good to sit and talk with Doris on their porch once again. The two girls were asleep and John was reading in his room. Now, Frank had a chance to relieve his mind of the one worry which had spoiled his first day at home. “Doris, why did you ask me not to scold John ‘| for the poor report card he brought home? I thought you must have a good reason. You sounded so anxious. But now I certainly would like to know it. Here is a kid nearly fifteen, who has always been a good student; never as good as Mildred; but still good. And now he’s absolutely failing in English and is quite poor in two other sub- jects. I don’t see why he does not de- serve some sort of punishment.” “That's exactly the way I felt about lit, Frank, when I first saw the report card. I almost told him how disap- pointed I was in him. It took self- control to realize that John should not ‘eel that he is studying for his parents but for himself, for his future. Well, once I managed to keep my tongue I looked at the boy. He looked so miser- able that I had the heart to say only— ‘that’s too bad. I am sure your report will be good again next year.’ And I was real glad that I did not say any more. I went to see his English teacher and asked her why she thought John lost his good standing in her sub- ject. She told me that his papers continued to he quite good, but that he would not recite. She 'said that in the beginning of the term he answered in such a low voice that she had to urge him to talk louder. Recently he would become confused when called upon to recite and finally would not answer at all. Tt was then that I realized that all of the subjects in which John was poor involved a great deal of reciting and suddenly I saw why. You know how his voice began to change in the last few months and it sounds real funny. : Even little Annie teased him about it. Probably our sensitive John suffered agonies of em- barrassment when he was asked to parade his squeeky voice in front of] so many boys and especially in front t of so many girls who are just begin- ning to be important to him. On top of this and on account of this he failed in his school work. And John is am- bitious, you know. Don’t you think he has been punished enough?” “I'm glad you told me, Dor. I might have discouraged the boy still more by scolding or punishing him wand he might have given up competing with other children altogether. We must try to give him confidence in himself again.” “Yes, we must. “And I am sure Pe will be doing again as soon as he hears himself sounding masculine and clear. T have been worried more about Mil- dred than John lately.” Why, Doris, Mildred is the first student in her grade. She used to be sickly. but you certainly have brought her around. She is as strong as any child T have ever seen now.’ “T know you are proud of your prodigy child. But I have been won- dering lately if we have given her enough opportunity to learn how to nlav with other children. She has been the baby for eight years, Vou know and she has been sick so much. TI am afraid I have kept her with. me a good deal and now she spend all of her time with her books because she does not know how to play with chil- dren of her own age. She has not many friends and school work is the only thing in which she can achieve the recognition of other people which every child wants. T almost wish she had a few B’s and a little more normal good-natured mischief in her.” . “Well, you see more of her than T do.

What about rascal Anne, did she behave?” “Oh, Anne is happy now that she can play outside with her friends. all day and make mudpies.
