UNDREDS of girls are H faced with the problem of fighting--or yislding to-- thelr love for married men, Every day brings me many letters from girls who claim that they are entitled to happiness, that their love is too big to be denied. Over and over | have pleaded with such girls to be sane and logical --to face facts. But to-aay I am giving you the testimony of a sirl who knows, who speaks out 'f her own experience. The fine, courageous and un- lerstanding words of G. G. M. tell he story. This is what she writes: "I read in your ecorumn the story of a girl who was in love with a married man and her des- nerate plea for a ray of hope.

Its nerves are similarly un | stable and undeveloped. For this reason vertaer should be subjected to shocks or jolts or habitual rhythmic movements The habit of bouncing the baby, or swinging it in the arms or rocking it in a cradle, is per nicious. This is why the firmly-standing cot has so largely takem the place of the old-fashioned, if poetic, rocking cradle or crib. To insure the development of mental and nervous stability, infancy should be the period of quictude and sleep. 5 Nutrition is, of course, funda mental to the 'development of the nervous system as it is of the muscular system or the bony system or any other system of the human body, and it is never so important as during infancy. The best brain builder is the mother's milk. The pre-kindergarten age of from three to five brings the nex! perplexing problem. : This theme calls for a specia article, or perhaps several arti cles. It is sufficient to say here tha! during this period the child should be gently but firmly start ed in the direction of good habits Training to this end should be accomplished by play methods lo the exclusion of actual tax or stress upon either of the special senses or upon the brain and nervous system. The same principle holde true with respect to the more com plex methods employed during the kindergarten period. In the majority of the ele | mentary schools the salvation of the children depends upon the fact that they possess the virtue of- inattention, under which they relax at the first approach to fatigue. With this virtae takem for granted the intellectual tasks | imposed become for the most | part entirely innocuous. For the proper development of the nervous system the recrea tion hour is more important than the study hour, and the eating hour {is more important than either. : The hygiene of the schoolroom involving air space and ventila tion, the amount and direction of light, the temperature, the type and fit of weats and desks are of great importance. But most im- portant to the brain and nervous system of the child is the brain and nervous system of the teacher. If she is wholesome and sound in poise and method she wil tend to make the pupil wholesome and sound. The power of imitation, the controlling power of the child's organism, makes this principle one of supreme importance.
