Very have cried: “Why be done with take care of himself and the toy method is as good as any other. Forewarning the Child If Robert's mother buys him such a toy now, she'll say, most likely, “Look here son! These blades are knives— real knives. You must never put your fingers near them for any reason and keep your feet away from them, too. If you don’t you'll be badly cut.” If Robert comes in one fine day with a nipped finger, she isn’t going to take his new present away from him either. Fc: she knows that the best lesson he can have is this very thing. She'll disinfect and tie up his hand and warn him again, and the chances are that there will be no more casualties. There were other toys in the place that were quite as fascinating and in their small way, as risky as the lawn mower. “It shows the trend of the times,” I remarked to the owner of the shop. A Lesson in Toys And the shop keeper, evidently up to date in more things than toys’ answered, “Doesn't it, though? Toys are more than mere playthings in this age of mechanism, and there are all sorts of things manufactured to teach children safety—how to take care of themselves, Of course, hardly any jof these toys could do any great amount of damage, but you can see for yourself that one could get quite a nice little shock from this electric set. Just enough sting to make a boy realize he’d rather not fool with the wrong end of it. Of course, these sets are not for babies, but’ for children old enough to be taught how to use ‘Then I examined the hundred and one. types of airships to be put to- gether, and all the ocean steamers, and the makings of every sort of sailing ship | » the mighty main.
