The eagle eye of the chief noticed that one steward (a cockney named Rill) deliberately passed one of the seats without proffering the dish. lie strode up to the table, and his manner betokened trouble for Bill.

DO NOT LOOK FOR THE MOTIVE Impulse to Create Something Unusual May Be Directed Into Channels That Are Worth While With out Being Suppressed. * By SIDONIE GRUENBERG. THE first day of father’s little vaca tion it rained, so they could not go on the excursion, as planned. That gave father u chance to catch up with some reading, as everyone had to stay indoors. The first interruption came when James brought him an odd con trivance made up.of sticks and wires and strings. James was very enthusi astic, and father* patiently laid his book aside to see what was going on. “Oh. father, see how it looks!” ex claimed tl’.e inventor, and as everyone looked oi#he pulled one of the strings. There was a twisting and straining amtmjrthe sticks and wires, and one of the sticks jerked away from its com panions and stood ont straight. The younger members of the family were enchanted, and the youngest said, “Do it again!” But father failed to get ex cited. “Well, what is it?” he asjted. “Oh, it’s just a machine, exclaimed James, somewhat chilled. “Every time I pull the string that stick flies up, you see.” Yes, father saw. “What’s the use of it?” he queried, perhaps as much to make conversation and to encourage the child as to satisfy his own curios ity. James had to admit that it was of no use, but maintained stoutly that it worked. Father was permitted to re turn to his book, and the children went back to their play. But James had not been encouraged. On the con trary, he had been infected with a sug gestion that might, indeed —in the course of time —stimulate him to fur ther effort, but one that would almost certainly take the edge off his spon taneity. P’ather, with his experience and with his feeling of responsibility, had reached the point of planning his time and calculating his energy expen ditures. lie knew a good reason for everything he did outside of the or dinary routine, like reading a novel or going to a baseball game. He also knew a good reason why he followed some of his routine —like hanging up his coat or interviewing people with his back to the window. Everything he did was either the result of habit or the result of deliberate intention. And he had forgotten that children sometimes act without motive and without purpose. One of the commonest reasons for our failure to get along with young children, and for our failure to get the most out of them, is our attempt to To look for a possible inventiveness that may in time be turned to good use. Understand, their actions in terms of cur own maturer motives and values. Or rather, there is generally no at tempt to understand at all, merely a measuring and criticizing on the as sumption that their “reasons” for do ing things are similar to our own. The child does this and that to begin with just because he has the impulse to move, to work his muscles. When he is able to handle materials with some precision he will make new com binations and arrangements for no earthly purpose whatever. There is satisfaction in the doing, as there is satisfaction in play, or in eating; but there is no calculation that leads to the adoption of means for gaining the satisfaction. In time, however, the girls and boys learn to select what they will do. They will do one thing be cause they know they will like the re sults; they will do another thing be cause it brings them some recognition or some material reward. But always there will be impulses to try something new, something that may have a happy ending, or something that may have ap unhappy ending, but the impulse is related to the trying, to the contriving, to the doing, and not to the passible rewards of punishments. When the child does something that is out of the we are not to look for a pos sible inventiveness, that may in time be turned to good use. So much of what grown-up people do every day is related to getting cer tain rewards that we are in danger of overlooking the fact that we would do quite otherwise if we were entirely free. And we overlook the fact that some of the best work we our selves accomplish is quite devoid of any “motive” of material reward. Thus we get into the habit of interpreting all conduct, including the children’s, in relation to the question “What’s the use?” But this question is quite proper, it is even necessary. Children must learn to conserve their energy and to make full use of their time and of their re sources. The only danger is that we shall narrow the range of “uses” that are to guide us and our children in controlling and directing the impulses. We must recognize that having fun solving puzzles or contriving gim cracks or whittling a stick is quite as legitimate a motive for a child as get ting satisfaction by mending clothes or building a fence or “making money” is for adults. It is better for the child to be mak ing something for the fun of making it than to do nothing for lack of some thing “useful” to do. The Edisons and l’ultons and Howes are rare enough; hut every normal child is considerably more of an inventor than we ordinarily recognize. Most of us stop inventing rather early in life because those who are a few years older ask the stupid Some of the best work we accomplish is quite devoid of any motive of ma terial reward. question, “What's the use?” We dis credit the inventor because he does things out of the conventional, or lie cause we do not see the value of the tinkering. When he happens to make something that the rest of us can use we are likely to assume that he did the “useful” tiling because lie wanted us to reward him for it. But the facts are probably inverted by us. We re ward the useful results, and thus en couraged him to try again. We should do all we can to preserve the child’s spontaneous impulses—not “pickle” them —and as the child grows older to direct them into useful chan nels. He will learn soon enough what kinds of contrivances are worth while; the first tiling to guard against is the suppression of the joy of doing and contriving. , FEATS OF TURKISH PORTERS Fierce Kurds Carry Great Odds—No Burden Too Great, and Their Pay Is Small. More varied, as a spectacle, thaiSthe veiled women cf the Gulata Bridge are the hamals, or coolies. Most of these carriers are Kurds, fierce people of the eastern mountains who have fallen into the low estate of selling tfieir strength to city dwellers. I know the feats of transportation achieved by Chinese servants, by Jap anese go-rikkies, by hill women of the Himalayas, by dusky coolies of India and the Straits, but to the Kurdish lia mal must be accorded the palm as bur den-bearer. Yonder man carries on his back a bedstead and mattress fastened on top of a great basket. The next man car ries 20 watermelons as one load. Here is another with 24 square feet of plate gluss mirror in a frame, and following him one who curries a roll-top desk, and on top of that an office chair. There must have been a furniture sale somewhere, for the next fellow bears a sofa and two parlor chairs. Now comes a hamal groaning under the weight of two kegs of white lead or paint—a heavier load than liis mate’s more showy burden of 38 five gallon oil cans. And here comes one with 33 wooden boxes on his back. Not all the hamals are young and strong. Here comes an old Albanian, whose load of figs bends him to the ground. As if to point the contrast, two boys with huge hampers on their backs come prancing and playing pranks.' Is pot this next coolie carrying the heaviest load of all? On his back is a full-sized packing case, and lashed to it are other large wooden boxes. That is no white man’s burden. A not un common load for hamals, I am told, is 300 pounds.

It was the office of the great sport ing newspaper, and the golf editor was taking a brief holiday. In ids ab sence the inquiries from readers which the golfing man answered through his correspondence columns were handed to the racing editor. “Which is the better course,” wrote an ardent follower of the royal and ancient game, “to fuzzle one’s putt or to fetter on the tee?” The turf man tilted hack his chair and smoked five cigarettes before tak ing his pen in hand. Then, when he had come to a decision on the weighty problem, he wrote as follows: “Should a player snaggle his iron, it is permissible for him to fuzzle his putt; but a better plan would be to drop his guppy into the pringle and snoodle it out with niblick.” A Protest. “What I want.” said the restless per son, “is an eight-hour day.” “Why, you don't do more than two or three hours’ actual work any day.” “That’s the trouble.
