A lite time of aimlessness of pur- pose, of 1o•os:enees of thinking, of clumsiness of action and barrenness of achievement is the penalty which many of our children pay as the natu- ral and direct result of this criminal neglect ori our part too properly in- struct and train them. Far better in this respect is the custom of the so- called savage races in which the mothers .most carefully watch the breathing habits of their children and take effective measures to prevent them from falling, for example, into such a slovenly practice as inhaling' through the mouth instead of through the nese.

It is through ignorance of our own powers and of how to develop and use them that we fail to attain hap- piness. and in the rose of each of us the extent of that ignorance may easily- be measured by' simply noting the degree in which we fall short of being happy, say's Dr. Goliardo. In stinci.ively we' feel this, and instinne- tively therefore we are all endeavor- ing ndeavor ing tin dispel our ignorannce and reach- ing out. for more exact knowledge of our •powers and how to develop and . see them. To express this deficiency and in- efficiency in a brief simile, civilized mankind may be likened to a tree that is conscious of the nutriment drawn by it from the ground, but has so con- - pletealy overlooked the fact that a large proportion -of its substance must be drawn from. the air that it has neg- lected to put forth leaves, We all know that such a tree would very quickly perish, -and,' as a matter of fact, it is equally true that the very y�rrti�or. of the human: race which eon-) seder's itbselaf most highly civilized is in reality iereepinig along ea the very' brin3c of extinction—for no other rea- eon trhati, the fact that it has fallen tndrer the evil spell of an ignorance, •nd neglect of one of its roost vital Woos..

The Housewife's Problem in Russia An Englisch woman who recently made a visit to Soviet Russia was as- tonished to discover that the house- wife of that country is in a sad plight.

In Petrograd and Moscow families Iive in fiats of great, many -storied houses, just as they do in New York. The difference is that they have no modern facilities. They mnst carry their water up long flights of stairs and must carry refuse and garbage down in pails. Tihey have no run- ning unning water system and no sewearaige system.
