Burgess Burprises may be good or bad; Make people laugh, or make them sad. —Farmer Brown's Boy. It was a snappy cold morning. Farmer Brown's Boy went whistling out to the barn to do his morning | chores there. He is very fond of | whistling. He whistles as birds sing —just from habit. He fed the horses | and he fed the cows. He gave them all a drink. He cleaned out the stalls. Once, as he was getting some | grain in the grain bLin, he thought he saw something move across the barn floor. *“I guess it was a rat,” said Farm- | er Brown's Boy. “I certainly must | do something about the rats. They | are getting altogethcr too numerous | in this barn. I wish Billy Mink| would come over here and make a visit, the way he did once before. I | didn't see a rat for a long, long time after Billy's visit.” | Farmer Brown's Boy went on| #bout his work. And then, glancing over his shoulder, he again saw a movement. He stood stock still. Eomething was coming out from un- der the hay, To himself he was say- | ing, “My gracious, that's the higgest | rat I ever saw! He must be the great-grandfather of them all.” And then Farmer Rrown's Boy nearly dropped the measure of oats he held in his hand. He wanted to | Tub his eyes to be sure that he was sceing what he seemed to see. “If that isn’t Peter Rabbit, then I don't | know Peter when 1 gee him.” mut- tered Farmer RBrown's Boy. ‘But Tow cun it be Peter here in the barn? How could he get in? And | why would he come in, even it he could get in? It can’t he Peter. No, #ir, it can’t be Peter. But it is! Now, | bow can a thing be when it can't be?" It was Peter. Of course, it was Peter. He had come out from under the hay where he had been taking | & nap, and being once more hungry, | he had straight for the the carrots. Now he was quietly sitting there eating a carrot. Farm- er Brown's Boy moved.

Guiding Your B Chid @ HANDICAPS By Mrs. Agnes Lyme To his parents Dick was the most precious thing in life. When at the age of three he was severely ill with scarlet fever, him and knew every breath he drew For days he hung on the point of death and for many weeks he lay wan and feeble without enecrgy to talk or move. Although before his fliness Dick had already developed a fair vocab- ulary and was @& fine enterprising lad in his play, after it he returned to the ways of his baby days. Slow- ly he was taught to walk a and gradually he made friends with his playthings once more. But his speech did not come back. He asked for things by crying .and pointing, by inarticulate sounds and gestures. He did not respond when spoken to, it seemed as theugh he had become quite deaf. Appalled by their tragedy the parentr waited on their afflicted haby hand and foot. They watched bhis expressions and anticipated his wishes. He never had to exert him- selt to get what he wanted, . they rushed to bring it to him at his cry. By the time he was four his re- tardation was #0 marked and lis | improvement so slight that they {took him te.a specialist who found that Dick had indeed lost his hear- ing in one ear, byt that there was no other physical handicap. Then a psychologist found that as far it was possible te judge his intelil- gence was normal. With their new 4nsight and the persistence of their love, his par- ents decided to make Dick grow up. They left him to get things for him. self whenever it was possible. When he grunted and pointed a finger, | they said the name of the ebject he | wanted, and not until he had at least made an effort to repeat the word after them did they let him have it. Slowly he improved. | Many a child who has as genuine |a handicap as had Dick is injured more by its psychological cense- quences than by the difficulty itselr, Parents need to be on guard lest the unwise treatment of a handicap be- conies more of a drawback than the handicap itself.
