The chil-| dren themselves will gleefully as-| sent to the propo- sition that a sound thrashing is not what they require, but rather a mild 6, or, better still, the psychic cure through eelective dose of medici affinity. Dr. G. Eliot Flint is willing to go on record as an advocate of pills versus punishment. He quotes Dr. Maximilian Groszman, an eminent authority on children’s diseases, to the effect that “any ap- parent disinclination to obey comes from imperfect hearing; aversion to reading and writing, from imperfect vision; irritability and sulki- ness are caused often by astigmatism, which in its turn produces eye strain and persistent headaches, Laziness is but a symptom of anae- mia (poor blood), or of neurasthenia (nervous exhaustion), and these may be caused by malnutrition, overwork, lack of sleep, or poor ven- tilation in the child’s sleeping room.” As for fretfulness, that’s indigestion Making monkey faces and whispering in echool are incipient forms of nervous diseases. Hysterical symptoms are stubbornness, instability of will and gen- eral irresponsibility. Even fibs are danger signals indicating dis- ease, The doctors are strongly in favor of introducing into the public schools of New York City, by co-operation of school officers with the Board of Health, medical experts and social workers, a system of paychie, in addition to the present physical, examination. If they are right, and have their way, we may live to see a total abolition of corporal punishment in the home as well as at school. ee DOG DAYS LEGISLATION.

Confessions Of a Mere Man Transcribed by Helen Rowland Coprright, 1011, by The Pres Publishing Co, Fhe Ant que Art of Flirtation. when New York, tke Pompeii, has become an ancient ruin, the ovators will dig up a “flirt,” and put him (or her) on exhibition in the a arts as the only specimen of the kind preserved. Indeed flirtation Is already an antique art. You have ty «in the dictionary to find it, and undoubtedly It won't be nd even there a generation hence, but among the “arc ives," along With manners, and morals, and matrimony, @ home cooking, and chivalry, and all the other nice thing that are going out of fashion, omehow we have lost the kna fotten low to make tender speech pliments, and enact the sentimental modern m. trie and deticate We Pitch into it asthough it were a game of tag or bar: Il, We go about it in a business-like, hurried manner, jur as we would go about eating dinner or dedelling @ bill oF BA) woods or catching a train, We make love as if we were making tlme or money, and do the polite and graceful (7) thing as if we were doing a duty or a “stunt.” ‘7 Moat men Mirtation is only the red tape through which one must go before kis ing a girl, To most women it {8 merely a means to an end—the altar, It is no Jonger an ART for sake, nor love for love's sake, nor even « Pastime for ite own sake. Alas, alack! Who killed Cock Robin? Was it masculine materialism or th newly awakened feminine sense of humor? For we men aren't ALL to blar by any means, A chap can’t flirt with an animated coat of mati, His tends @peeches won't penetrate a wooden image or a heart covered with a glacial daye of scepticism, ‘The average girl nowadays knows too muct humor, It get# on our nerves and drives all her an impossible compliment or make a gi LAUGHS at us! LAUGHS at US, mind you! The other evening when I agked a girl for the rose in hey natr she turned o. me with @ pitying smile and said: . “Why, Bobby, that's an ALL-SILK rose, You can get all you want like for 44.98." ™ Now, what are you going to do in a case like that? How are you going t tel a girl that her cheek ts like a flower when she has the cheer to inform y fn @dvance that she bought the “flower part at a drug store?

For wifehood and motherhood and all practical purposes no @oubt they a” far better this way=but they are not made for flirtation any more. They knoy ws too well, ‘They oan see straight through us with thelr eyes shut. Ah, me! It's a case of “Deliver the goods (or the wedding ring) or get out of ‘| the game!” And in flirtation there are no goods to deliver. It's just @ elon waltz in which you go round and round without ever getting anywnere. What's the use of it, then?” you say. Ye gods! useful; {t's BEAUTIFUL. It's the poetry, the v mming. the fringe around the edge of love. It js to life what lace and perfume and rufties are to a woman; what the decorations are to the dinner; what te dressing te ( the salad. It’s the exquisite art of exchanging deltcate attentions without meai- ing anything; of fencing without stabbing. It's the sparkle In the champagne the flavor in the sauce, the dew on the rose! It's @ game without a purpose, delightful way of passing time, But nowadays neither a man nor a woman wants to pa: } unless there is a conquest or a husband to be gained. They don't know wha they miss! For the only real things in the world are the things of the imagina tion, and flirtation ts imagination set on fire!
