In fact, many educators who are only conservative but actually reiK:tionary in their thinking and in their school practice, have not hesitated to appro priate the name, and even to adopt some of the surface of this newer and popular kind of education, with out being at all affected by its’true spirit. Just as some one has said that “or thodoxy is my doxy and heterodoxy is your doxy,” so it^has become fash ionable to use the term “progressive” to mean just about what the fellow who u.ses it wants it to mean. Par ents will do well to make sure by care ful inquiry whether the school that so licits their partonage is progressive in spirit, or only, in name. ' QnesUoai and Aaawera Dr. Richardson: My husband is away from home so much, that when he is with us he and twp-and-a-half year-old Joy are both so delighted that he is her playma^ instead of being my help in training hefr% The wme way with my father, mother, and sis ters, where we visited recently. They all made such a pet pf Jier that now we are alone at home,“she is sulky and short-tempered and does not seem to love me,, especially when I try to discipline her. It seems to me as though I get all the hafd part of her training; while she grives-her affection to the othersr->^ ’ " Answer: I find that mothers who are over-conscious and punctilious about their children’s bringing ly),— the Martha type mothers, so to speak, —are very prone to deprive their children, their husbarid and themsel ves of something that less admirable mothers are likely to give. And that is, a certain joyous and frank com radeship' and sharing of good times, that come easy to the Mary’s, but with considerable difficulty, if at,all, to the Marthas. Please don’t think I want you to do any less of the important things you told me in your letter that you ^re doing—economizing, keeping to the baby’s schedule, and making her do the things she should do. But sometimes just tlfy to forget that you are a mother; and just join with the others in ^ jolly, thoughtless romp. You won’t “spoil” her! And if she sees you enjoy ht^ying good times with her, she’ll be much less prone to re=^ sent the neces.sary’^checks when'~you have to administer th^. Enjoy the fun of being a mother.

The percentage of increase for the ‘con trol’ group is-20.64 and for the license group 25.64.” It said that the worst showing for drunkenness was made by Berkeley, Calif., which had ten arrests for OTunkenness in 1930 and 567 in 1934, and'^ded that Somersworth, N.
