In those days, children usually were kept in awe Outside of of their fathers—ruled by fear. That system, now changed, had its advantages. When father said something, he meant it. When he exchanged confidences with his son, he spoke words of wisdom. To son, father was an oracle, a man of wisdom, a figure mighty and with a peculiar atmosphere of mystery. Times have changed. Seattle children of today are ruled more by reasoning and by guidance than by fear of father and the wood-shed's paddles. But, in the change, childhood has lést something of great value—the intimacy of proper attention by father to son. Fathers in 1921 are too busy. Telephone, telegraph, fast mails and express trains, along with a growing intricacy of civilization’s economic machine, keeps father’s mind on many parts of the country or other countries, instead of concentrated near home. Son suffers by neglect. In the endless procession of special weeks comes one really’ worth while—Father- and-Son Week, now being observed. Every father during this week should take time to cultivate his son's confidence, take a special interest in son's activities, and impart words of wisdom.

WILLIAM E. BARTON UR education comes high, but we must have it. We are likely to have more of it, and to pay more for it, We are creating one new*high school for every day in the year. In 1870 this country had not more than 600 high schools. Before that, if any one ‘wanted education beyond what the common echools afforded, he went to aa academy, and his father paid for his board and tuition, or he ‘worked his own way thru. In 1880 we had about a thousand high schools. In 1890 we had 2,400. ‘We are more than doubling every ten years. Now we have 13,951 high schools, and a new one Is born every day. ‘These schools require $1,025 teach- @rs, all of whom are paid out of the proceeds of taxation. Fifty years ago we had just a few academy teachers, living out of the proceeds of the tul- tion which the fathers of the children dug out of their farms. The old method cultivated in the student a sense of values which the Present method does not always pro- duce. The boy who lifted his small trunk up to the back of the stage and kissed his mother good-bye, and who depended for his tuition on his father and on “his own earnings for his pocket money, was likely to know the worth of what he was getting. But the present method is intend- ed to bring the advantage of all the education which the average boy ar girl will take, within the easy reach Of that boy or girl. And they are going to high school. When, about six weeks ago, the high schools of the country opened, Bot less than two millions of boys and girls entered their doors and took up their work with more or less enthusiasm. It costs more than the taxpayers. ever supposed they were likely to pay, but there is no money which they spend more willingly, and not much that is better spent, Education comes high, but we must have it, os Another thing to be thankful for is sparrows are not as big as ostriches.

I do know fish, but somehow, when they’re fried at home they all taste alike.” The truth—spoken perhaps too frankly. But how many women know how to fry fish? How many know that even the delicate flavor of a brook trout may be actually enriched by correct frying—all the natural flavor not only retained, but fully brought out, if the right frying fat is used? And the frying fat, because it takes none of the fish flavor, may be strained and used again for any other cooking purpose! Whensfish is fried in a fat having too low a tempera- ture, it soaks up the fat, making a greasy, soggy, indi- gestible mass.

His reckless killing is curtail. ed only by the legal “bag limit.” If any law or charitable organization should compel or ask every man in Seattle to take a specified time from their business and social affairs and go out and kill game to supply the workhouse or insane'asylum or the bread line, you'd see them all “begin to make excuse.” It's “fun” only— Me faye kind of fish is this, dear, flounder or haddock?” ‘ , “Why, Jim, it is fried sea bass.
