Little Ralph, an only child of four,
had been permitted to stay up one
evening when his parents had com
pany. At the table he made a
quaint remark at which ySll the
guests laughed. He instantly saw
that be had made a nit, and with
commendable enterprise sought to
follow it up.
"Dad," he shouted, "what was
that other smart thing I said yea

PERFECT .QUIETUDE
"I found a place this summer
where 1 could rest in perfect
quietude."
"Did you enjoy it?"
"No. I spent half my time on the
road getting to a place where there
Ml movies and a band."
Unsupervised
Play May Be
Bad for Child
? OLDER CHILDREN
likely to establish feeling of
inferiority by "bossing"
younger playmates. All young
sters should be taught the
pleasure of wholehearted,
friendly cooperation.
By LAURA GRAY
" I CAN'T understand my small
* son, Teddy," complained Mr*.
Bacon to her neighbor, Mrs. Morton.
"Every time he goes to play with
Robert, Teddy comes back so cross,
so irritable, I can do nothing with
him. And he used to be such a
sweet-tempered youngster."
"Robert's older than Teddy, isn't'
he?" asked Mrs. Morton.
"Only a year and a half, but he
looks three years older; he's so big
and sturdy. Robert's mother and I
have been taking charge of the two
children on alternate days. This
gives each of us every other day
free."
"What a clever arrangement. But
perhaps the boys see too much of
each other. How do they get on
when Robert comes to your house?"
"Oh, they scrap a little; I don't in
terfere. But this morning Teddy
made a great < ado about going to
play with Robert. He didn't want
to go."
"Well, there are some people?
much as I love them ? that I
wouldn't want to spend every day
with," mused the neighbor. "I
should say, in this case, that the
older boy is wearing out the little
fellow. Having always to give in?
to subject one's own wishes?be
comes monotonous."
"1 wonder if you are right." *
Next day, when six-year-old Rob
ert came to play with four-year-old
Teddy, his mother, in the next room,
was alert to note what went on.
"Let's play train!" suggested Rob
ert, sweeping things from a small
table and jerking it upside down.
"No. I want to cut out pictures!"
pouted Teddy, already comfortably
seated in the midst of litter.
"Oh, come on!" Robert snatched
the scissors from the little fellow.
"You may be engineman!"
Storm Stopped Temporarily.
This magnificent condescension
stopped the imminent storm of pro
test from Teddy. He jumped up and
willingly helped arrange chairs be
hind the table. "Going to be engine
man! Going to be engineman!" he
kept repeating.
"You may be engine driver after;
I*m going to be first!" The bigger
boy seated himself on top of boxes
at the head of the procession, and
mimicked escaping steam with vivid
reality.
Teddy reluctantly took the seat
behind. At last the steam gave out.
"My turn now!" he cried.
"No, let's play something else!
This is no fun!" The "steam"
jumped down and wrecked the
train!
The boys went into the garden.
Robert rushed to the shed, took out
Teddy's new tricycle and kept it the
rest of the morning. How the owner
longed to enjoy his new toy! He'd
had very little' chance as yet?the
boys being almost always together.
And so the day went on, the older
boy's wishes always being carried
out, and the younger never experi
encing that satisfaction with regard
to his own. No wonder poor Teddy
was worn out with giving in!
"You'll have to tidy up!" trium
phantly, at the end of the day, 'T
always do when you come to play
with me!" Robert "beamed at the
playroom that looked as if a cyclone
had passed through rt
ai lasx ne was gone!
Half a day or even a whole day
together, once in a while, would have
been a good experience for these
boys, but every day was too much.
And we should all remember, too,
that while some unsupervised play
is beneficial for young children, the
periods should not be overlong.
No child should be "under-dog"
all the time. This is apt to establish
an idea of inferiority, not easily
eradicated. Neither is it good for a
more vigorous child to have his own
way always. He should be taught to
be fair, and learn that there can be
real pleasure in giving in.

Roman Dogs
The Romans divided their dogs
into six groups, the canes villatici
(bouse dogs) j canes pastorales pe
cuarii (shepherd dogs); canes vena
tici (sporting dogsj; pugnaces or
'bellicosi (pugnacious or war dogs);
nares sagaces (dogs which ran by
scent) and pedipus celeres (swift
dogs which ran by sight). In the
United States, writes Margaret Kid
der in the Los Angeles Times," we
have a sporting-dog group in which
are the bird dogs; a bound group,
including both the scent and the
sight hounds; a working-dog group,
whiqh takes in the shepherd dogs
and the dogs that the Romans
termed war dogs; a terrier group,
which had no counterpart in Roman
times; a top group, which unac
countably was missing in Rome,
since tiny pets were popular among
the ruling classes, and a non-sport
ing group, which no doubt includes
some of the breeds that the Romans
listed as bouse dogs.
