"Well, T don't see how on earth you gould lose your clothes like that up there at school, Look here, Junior Wells, are yon telling me the truth?" "Honestly, Mother. Didn't you hear the car stop in front when Mr. Rich- ards let, me out?" "I'll go to school in the morning "and find out all about this."

He explain. ed that Junior had come to him after school the day before and reported his cap and coat missing. His teach- er had gone so the principal had as- sisted in a search which had not been successful. . Mrs, Wells, the kindergarten teach: or, was called to the office, but she could not explain tbe occurrence to the disturbed mother. She thought Junior had left with the other child- ren, properly clothed. "Junior, why didn't you place your coat and cap in your locker as you always have done so nicely?" she In- quired of her little pupil. "I did," was the unexpected answer. "Who took them out?" "1 don't think anybody did," was the still less expected reply. The three adults exchanged glances, then with Junior they marched down the hall to the locker. They waited while he calmly opened the door and brought to light the coat and cap un- der discussion. "Why did you say your things were lost?" asked the mother. "I thought they were lost," replied the boy somewhat sullenly. o- "Pm sorry, Mr. Richards, that this should have happened.

"Mrs. Wells, 1 «nd Junior go to the kinde tea nw? And Mrs. Wells, will you please come to the office?" "Phe reason I interrupted you a few minutes ago," he continued after they were seated, "was to keep you from uttering a hastily formed judg- ment on your son's actions" "I'm not sure,' he went on, "just what, in Junior's world, demanded that his coat and cap be lost, but something did and to him it was real, He wasn't telling falsehoods accord- ing to his understanding though from our adult viewpoint his behavior was quite inexcusable, We are incline often to forget that children live i worlds of their own and have al gether different standards and /de- mands than they have when they get older and more mature. All this merely means that we, as parents, must learn to judge and evaluate from the standpoint of the child's develop- ment. When we investigate, we find pine times out of ten, that the child is Mving up to some childish demand, but the parents must, of course, be careful not tq judge other children or teachers on the child's testimony at this period." Mrs, Wall then entered, and ex- plained the myséry by saying they had read a story the previous day in which one of the minor events con- cerned a little boy who had lost his coat. "Well, I do declare! do with that boy!" mother. "Please be wise and do nothing with regard to this particular occur- rence,' advised the principal. "It was Just a necessary incident in the boy's Ite.

A good many years ago Osler, the famous doctor, made the statement that most men's powers for either brain work or manual work had be- gun to decline at the age of forty. Recent investigations seem to show that the majority of men are retaining their powers longer than they were. Sir Thomas Oliver, the physician, dis- cussed the question in his presiden- tial address before the Royal Institute of Public Health in London recently. The position, hws said, appears to be that in the United States the physical condition of man was undoubtedly de- clining after he had reached forty; on the other hand, it was improving In Great Britain. Possibly the American takes go much out of himself in his younger days in a strenuous pursuit of the dollar that he is too old at forty.
