PART IIL Ther: was a little boy at the front door--which was fifty feet from the spot where the telephone stood--and 'he wanted to know whether Mrs. Wil- "kins 'didn't want to subscribe to the "Happy Housewife." It was only fifty cents a year, and she got a picture if she subscribed from him. She glared at 'the not purposely offending young- ster, sent him off with a curt word, and then, repenting, called him back. She gave him an orange, ten cents, and a wan smile. Then she went back to the kitchen. Little Hetty Meigles, in her one animated move of the day, Bad caused a commotion. She had endeavored to sit on the leaf of a table, overbalanced it, and, with 'its crash, deposited upon the floor a uart of molasses, some sour milk and ve eggs. The result was not har- monious. Mrs! Meigles, who wagsde- livering justice on the usual spot for that sort, looked up from her sticky pursuits, 4 "They - give yuh .pain. when they. come," she remarked, "and thegh go on a-givin' it to yuh!" * Hefty; whose perfunctory _howls were piercingly shrill, testified to an- other sort of pain. "Don't spank her too hard, Dora," admonished Mrs. Wilkins; "she didn" mean' to make trouble, I know." . "Ne'm," responded Dora, as she read her fingers apart and surveyed De thote were webs of molasses between the digits; "but she don't think, and she's gotta learn. No'm, the' young ones don't thing fer their parents what slave: fer 'em, no more; it ain't stylish." . Mrs.. Wilkins agreed inwardly, al- 1 though not outwardly. Wearily she directed the cleaning-up, wearily she rescued her best dusters as they were about "to become floor cloths, wearily she turned away, and then remember- ed the telephone calls she's promised to send and the frock that had to be ironed. Of course, people were on the line; of course. Central was stupid about hearing; again, of course, Mrs. Wil- kins, who had on her old glasses, took an eight for a three. The phone busi- ness lasted about a half-hour. Then it Was that she had gone into the liv- ing room, saw the disorder;: it was «here that she began to weep as she " cleaned up. Then she went aloft, cleaned up:some mere, changed her clothes, and came down-stairs to get dinner. And that- brings us, not to the 'end of a perfect diy, but just be- fore: dinner.on "the sort of a day that every home woman knows. You've had them, 'now haven't you"? « JAt a quarter of six things looked Jbrighter, Mrs. Wilkins had lit up under the mended boiler to make "ready for the. men's shavings and baths; Hetty and her abused mother had gone their way; Katie's moans|g00d citizens without a. working; shad dimmed, and everything was ready to go on to cook. .

For, somehow, Edward's salary didn't reach as it had, although it had been increased--they had thought, magni- ficently--~the year before. The idea of. the wasted gas, with everything else in that day, assumed in her mind amazingly large proportions. She wanted to redeem her carelessness by using the hot water, but in the middle of dinner-getting this didn't seem quite possible.

Here and there we find ischools where the pupils govern themselves and thus. learn the meaning of the words "good citizenship." There ave school republics in Alaska, Japan, South America and Hawaii, yet few of our own schools have investigated tho subject. |. We do not expect our children to {become good musicians or even good i ball players without practice. Neither should we expect them to grow into knowledge of what good citizenship means. When boys and girls see that they are responsible for the wel- fare and good name of their school, just as each citizen of Canada is responsible for the welfare and good name of his nation, disorder in that school will no longer exist. There are several forms of govern- ment in school republics. The best one for small schools is modeled after pupils elect a mayor, a 'policeman and they talk over the things they should not do and make their laws according.' ly, letting the majority rule, In these laws, they cover such things as keep- ing the walls clean, behavior on the playground, and neatness of person and of desks, In some schools the pupils 'take up such matters as cheat- quently, it is true, make more rulex ad ts oh sion raship, each pu anxious t dv is part toward wphoMing the & i the plan of city government.
