SPLKXDID GIVING
t'r> to April 3 the commission for
relief in Belgium which has
taken charge of -he contributions,
or most of them, made in this coun
try, had shipped ami distributed
foci', and clothing to the value of
about $50,000,000. A very large
quantity of supplies remained to be
forwarded.
Americans have also giya tnucn
to Belgium in other ways. Contri
butions have gone through various
acfnc'es. A groat deal of money
has been entrusted to officials who
coI'M be counted upon to'Use it
(.artfully, where it was moet need
ed. Altogether, the giving for the
relief of Belgium may have reached
JT'..000,000.
This is a memorable demonstra
tion of American humanity and
genorosity. It is true that the
• !>.U3e of the giving is without prece
dent and that even $75,000,000
means only about $10 apiece for
every man, woman and child in Bel
gium. But the sum is very great,
notwithstanding, and It has been
giv°n In the face of difficult circum
stances in this country. The wax
ha<; cost many. Americans a'large,
part of their usual income. It was
a heavy burden, for the first four or
five months especially, upon the
American people and they were
hird 'pressed to keep their own af
fairs in oTder. The demandB of
home charities were insistent and
oq a larger scale than at any other
| timo in many years.
I All conditions considered, the
! Belgian relief fund has been a. not
'■ able monument to American liberal
it? as well as American wealth and
j power to give. It has been created
for au alien people thousands of
miles distant, and when home needs
were imperative and of vast propor
j tions. For that reason ft has no
twrallel in history. "
The following paper by Miss Mar
garet Keeuan, principal of the
Skagway public school, was read by
:ts author at the tegular monthly
meeting of the Parent-Teacher as
sociation, held on Friday night,
Maj; 7th, 1915, in the assembly
room of the public school build
ing It was listened to T>y the au
dience with a rapt attention that
should have been extremely flatter
ing to the speaker:
THE ADOLESt KYT
IntrcducUou
Th« tact that the human being
passes 'trough a longer period of
mattti-ljg from birth to full de
velopment than any other animal,
\ fraught with the greatest conse
quences. The infant dependence is
ihe cause of the most sacred Insti
tution in the world—the home.
Practically all the social virtue
tiiat exist today are due to de
mands made upon maa to protect
i nd care for his offspring during
rhe yeans of helplessness.
Through the evolution of social
life, the Infancy of man has been
extended until it covers all the
immature periods of-lffe, i. in
fancy, childhood, and adoleecenseV
yeriods that should be laden wiia
the greatest possible mastery of
II the achievements of past genera
tions. The mora complex the so
ciety, the more extended the periol
c; maturation; in some cases reacn
i'ig the thirtieth year, while sonn
iiiimals reach a corresponding stage
>u as many days, and in some cases,
hours. ' '
To say that oue ot these peri
c Is of development la . jnore im
rortant than another, is folly. Y.)i^
can't -veil build the tfeird story
until you have built the first and
s^coiiil Every period has its vi
tal contributions aid Inherent
•lung* <i. It does seeDi, however,
that tiie adolescent period pre
sets the greatest claira for our ut
tentio;i, because It is least undsr
stoc' and most sligbtrd Only he
o; she vho has' had arid "has im
proved the opportunity to study
child ' tc In this trying and tnuisi
tioual ucriod can realize the migiity
< han^eo that are taking place In
'he nrada and bodies cf boys and
?-irls, beginning at the age of pu
Lerty .->:id ending at about the a^a
of eighteen in girls and twenty-one
:ii hoys.
Toward the close of childhood,
approximately twelve years of age, r»
culmination seems to have beon
reached. The brain has acquired
nearly its full size and weight, and
health is almost at its bast. The
perception Is very acute, but rea
son seems but very slightly devel
oped. It Is probable that at this
stage our ancestors in tropical cli
mates became self-sustaining. It
ic on this as a foundation, that
Ch» race of today rears another
story, nobler In iti proportions and
Infinitely greater In Its possibilities
—the adolescent.
HI* Appearance
There Is no mistaking the aoy
when be launches out on the ado
lescent development. His hands
and feet get bo big and unmajiage
ativ, bl3 chin begins to protruio.
a little down appears on his upper
lip and his voice sounds like a j
horse-fiddle—due to the enlarge- j
ment of his larynx. He isn't
.oyablo now, and loses the caresses J
of old. To keep up appearances,
he puts np a bold front and makes j
it appear that he does not care. He
lauceh around with am air of gen
eral indifference and carelessn-.'jss,
s»its on the small of his back, and
balances a chip on his shoulder.
About this time the family coma
to the conclusion that ' "Willie"
may as well be called "Bill," that
the back bedroom up stairs will
be plentr big enough for him. He |
is just a "horrid boy."
And the girl? A silly, giggli'itf, |
gum-chewing piece of humanity^
either on the heists of rajrtnre or I
in the depths of despair and " that |
too with a rapidity -that would put
electricity to shame. She dreams
day dreams, reads Bertha M. Clay's I
"Wedded and Parted," and scorUB ]
the blunt offering of admiration
from her boy friends because she is
waiting for the lover who will pro
pose gracefully on his knees w'th
his hands lifted imploringly. What
girl could be expected to appreciate
being called a "brick" when she id
confidently expecting to be told j
l^iat she is the "light of his ayes,"
"the desire of his heart," "his I
pretty sunshine?" The changes tak
ing place in her mental powers are
somewhat like her brother's, ani
the physical changes, while less
noticeable, are no lass vital.
Soul Changes
Now is the time to overcome her- ]
edity. The 'most vital and far
reaching of all the physical changes I
cannot be treated in an article of [
this kind. The development of tho
organs of reproduction are of such
vital influence, physically, mentally,
and spiritually, that \fefe only won
der is that net more of our boys
and girls go wrong at this most
trying period of their lives. The
"ndifference; Ignorance and false
modesty of parents and teachers
along this line cannot be too se
verely condemned. Then, if ever,
the child needs the love and guid
ance of a mother, the confidence ]
and firmness of a lather, and all
these Influences from a teachur |
who is big enough to comprehend
that she is dealing with life and
character, not text-books; that she
!e jointly responsible for the de
velopment of a life with all its pos
sibilities and the destiny of a soul
for all eternity. " "
It. devolves upon parent® a id I
teachers to instill into the innocent I
;hild sufficient knowledge to create
j holy respect for the most sacred
