Thursday, October 24, 1912,] THE CAROLINA UNION FARMER Page Seven and has already a better education than most college graduates. The parents of these children say that the result has been obtained by systematic training of the children, from the very first year of birth. Nothing useless was taught either the boy or girl; no time was wasted in meaningless play, but time and play were directed to educational ends. ■ The writer recalls seeing a child of three some years ago whose father had begun to train him on similar lines. The very first week of the baby’s life he was made to listen to the scale and major and minor chords of music. These were played several times during the day while the child was awake, and different colors were displayed for a brief moment before his eyes. When the boy was old enough to play with blocks, he was trained from the start to form mathematical com binations, and in a brief time he had acquired an elementary knowledge of numbers, of addition, subtraction and multiplication. His ear was marvelously exact in music and his color sense was highly developed. But the boy did not know that he Was learning. He thought he had been playing all this time.—Selected splendid article in response to our lady readers and hope they will find query; also the one by “A Grand- the patterns helpful and useful, mother” last week.

The latter part of the query sug gests my reply. ‘‘You can’t please them.” Why make the attempt? I Would reverse the order and let those on whom you have waited so assid uously, take a long term of wait ing on you. Of course, the better Plan is to work them in gradually, ifom the little toddler, who endangers your glass, handing you a drinkwhich you don’t want but take for the sake Of the handler; the little boy who can only bring two sticks of wood at a time but who fills the box, the little t*od-maker whose sheets ‘‘just won’t ®niooth,” the big boy who waters your flowers because you love them, “they look like weeds to him;” the oldest daughter, who can take your place. Where you have made the niistake of our friend, know that to beep on would be a crime to yourself, bnt above all to the children you love. Take your place as mother and let Some one else act as patent hand-and- foot-saver for the family. Take a i^^ip off, let the children do your ''^ork, as well as their own; perhaps they will be more appreciative when you return. When it is impossible to take a trip, renew your acquaintance ''’ith your neighbors, letting the chil- lren do the work. Be firm and let ®yory member of the family know that while glad to do your share of be Work, they must each do theirs. Then will the family tie be built up, strong. Some of your neighbors will Say, “You are putting old heads on young shoulders,” or ‘‘You go visit- and let your children do the ^ork.” Don’t let that stop you from your duty. You can place your crit- ^^s in two classes: Those who do Pot have enough of the gray matter P form an idea; and those who are So busy seeing you do your duty by jPPr oppressed (?) children that oy have no time to look after their Own, who are going wild. While the pities discuss your mistakes, you can 6 thinking with pride that you have ^^anged undutiful, disagreeable chil- PP into happy and useful boys and ^ who will do a man’s and a wo- P;P s part in the world, lour reward: children will rise up and call PPr blessed.” No. 59 67—Ladies’ Dress with Four-Gored Skirt.—Cut in 6 sizes 32 to 42 inches, bust measure.

Iredell County Farmers’ Union met in Statesville on Saturday the 5th instant in regular quarterly ses sion, and the attendance was fairly good. Each Local should elect dele gates to these meetings, and every delegate should feel that he is hon ored by being elected an'd should do ifs 4uty by attending. The live Lo cals—the ones that are getting some good out of our organization—have delegates at every meeting, and some visiting brethren come with them of ten. Only by attending these meetings can we keep up with the work being done. We have forty-seven Locals in our county, but can never get a full attendance. At our meeting Satur day, delegates were elected to our State meeting. We hope all will at tend and stay until the last benedic tion is over. No delegate should have the county pay his expenses to these meetings unless he is willing to sacri fice all the time necessary to finish the work of the convention. Iredell County Union puts itself on record as opposed to the cowardly crime of hazing in any form; the ex pression of the body being that in stitutions that could not control stu dents in this heinous offense ought not to receive the patronage of an enlightened' public.
