Then I asked Principal Patri to jaborate upon each of these seven erturs” of childhood and to suggest ~)renwdy which elders might employ. “What can parents do with this tasing child, this child who presses point to the limit?’ I asked, begin- jng at the head of tho list.

In speaking of the noisy child who bangs doors, walks heavily, falls into a chair and is constantly dropping ‘his fork, his school books, his shoes. in fact, everything he touches, Mr. Patri said, ‘This child constantly keeps his parents’ nerves on edge. The moment he arrives be brings dis- cord with him. But in many cases it 1s not really his fault, He does not make all this noise and drop things, as it would often seem, be- cause he is angry or out of sorts. In many instances he is really nervous, und parents, by being kind to him in- stead of nagging him and making jun of him, can quiet his nerves and help him,"* As to the child who has formed the habit of using bad language and seems to take a fiendish delight in not sounding his “‘ings’’ and runnin ull his words together, principal Patri said: “Children in all walks of life are apt to adopt this attitude because they think it is smart, Of course environment is usually accountable for this. A girl or boy chum can usually be found who has given them inspiration along this line. Children are great imitators and that is why it is so important for parents to know the friends and associates of thoi children, “Many parents are guilty of one or more of the seven sins against child- hood," concluded Mr. Patri, “and every child is apt to commit one or more of the seven errors which I have mentioned against his parents or teachers. Both parents and children are frequently unconscious of these errors, but if they can only under- stand each other, especially during the period of between twelve and fif- teen, they will be friends for life."’ THE EVENING WORLD, FRIDAY, o> \WHAT 'S HER.

A little liquid vaseline ap- plied to the scalp, especially berore it is shampooed, leaves the hair soft and at the same time not too dry. It would depend upon what you use and how you wash the hair to aay if it would harm it in any way. Why not try a dry shampoo in bhevween washings?
