DEAR DOROTHY DIX: My husband has asked me to give him n divorce. When l1 refused. he told me that he was in love with a ‘VODIED who has given him more love and companionship than he

has eve: had with me.

He said I was selfish, thoughtless and lazy.

I have always spent most of my time at clubs, church parties, etc., never cared about the things he wanted. or tried to make him happy. He said‘ he was so lonesome and love-starved that he would have left me long ago if it hadn't been for our child.

I had no idea. my husband felt this way about me, but I know now rhave never really tried to make him happy. Now when I do, he

doesnt seem to care.

Don't you think he will

ANSWER; Not a chance. You killed your husband’: love by your selfishness and neglect, and there is no magic that can ever put an- otheqnheartthrob in his breast for you. A dead love is the deadest thing-ihcstlieikworld, and it is folly for you to imagine that by hanging oil-tin yoila-"husband you can win hlzn back.

ANSWER: Be glad that your young daughter ls popular and has many dates, instead of s few. ‘There ls safety in numbers, and if your girl has a lot of boy friends she won't think that she is in love and want to get. married while she is still a. child. A girl should know many boys before she narrows herself down to one.

QUALITY BRAND ALWAYS GOOD BUY

If your Nylons are quality stock- ings you ought to be able to get from l2 to 15 wears out of the sheerest. weight, provided of course, they are kept safe from accidents.

One of your best guarantees of such service from sheer hosiery - and even longer wear from hosiery of heavier weight -is to buy good standard brands from good stores.

What you may have to pay extra for top quality is almost certain to be an economy in terms of longer wear. Stockings bearing reputable brand names usually are put through rigid inspection tests of quality.

Stockings which satisfy these tests of reliable manufacturerls plus style demands of customers have, in general, clear, shadowless tex- ture, elastlclty for normal stretch;

LET US IE

Since the teacher cannot give what he himself does not possess, it behooves him to practice whit he preaches. If he wants his pupils to be courteous. he must first con- trol his emotions and overcome ‘impatience by courtesy end con- sideration for others. Children easily sense that hidden psychic force that lets them know jthat the teacher has their interest at heart. They also seem to know when they are disliked. They are keen judges on that point.

A famuoe educator has said: "The teacher is the ultimate agent of education. No matter whet ap- pears in the official course of stud- ies, it is he who sets the daily tasks for the pupils, or who helps them to develop e plan of work, It ls he who sanctions or condemns their habits, their attitudes, their preonel qualities. 1f education ‘is ever to have any genuine influ- ence ln shaping character or in giving insight into life. the teach- er will be the agent who will carry this influence. It is his philosophy

NATURE 11m nrsrsununon or scans"

Nature has many ways of scat-

tering seeds from the parent plant -

and plants survive because their seeds fall or ere carried to loom‘ tions favourable in the growth of new plants. '

Common methods of seed distri- butlon:

l. By wind, some examples ere dandelion: and milkweed.

2. By burs or hooks. examples are burdock and beggar-ticks.

3. By expulsion (bursting of pods) examples are violet end wild mustard.

4. By water, examples are lotus, cocoanut and water lilies. .

b. By animals, examples are beech nut, cherry. and acorns.

6. By man. examples are wheat, oats, and beans.

There are many more examples of each wey of distribution but you can find these out for vour- selves. l

Here we have a little vem e.- bout the methods of seed distribu- tion which will help you to re- member thqn.

veloped naturally if taken in con; nectlon with interesting activities. Accurate use of the vocabulary comes through constant practice with correct forms. During the first few days a teacher is with a class. she should take mental note of the most common errors and diffi- culties. Remedial work is then planned. She should point out to the children that if we want oth- ers to understand clearly what we tell them we must express oursel- ves well-use the proper words in the right way, and speak in a clear voice rather than mumble or whis- per.

Drill on one error at s time. Checking up on too many at once. is discouraging and ineffective.

Correcting a child when he is finished speaking is wiser than in- terruptlng him to do so. Many in- terruptlons disturb his thouilhI-S and tend to quench his enthusiasm. Tactful correction is a matter n

haltlngly. He should be encouraged to give his answers in full senten-

school all fear. and nervousness should be banished principally through the teachers gay and

cheerful manner.

By keeping the class busy right from the first with easy attractive lessons, each containing a new but not too difficult problem, interest is soon aroused along with ambi- tion, and then our second problem is solved. and the footing for suc- cessful progress has been laid ready for the foundation.
