Teaching Children to Agree.
By MARION BROWNFIELD.
Teaching children to agree means
so much to them all through life
that It should really he one of the
first principles in home-making if
children are taught to be fair and
courteous with one another, they
have a valuable equipment for popu
larity and success in the world at
large.
Harmont in'the home, too, means
a happy Ideal that will be cherished
through many trials, struggles and
hardships, an Ideal that is an anchor
as sustaining as religion.
In many homes, unfortunately, (he
oi.e trial of family life, especially
for the mother constantly In contact
w.th it, is voiced in the wall, “If the
children only wouldn't quarrel so!"
Then sometimes it is added, "But I
suppose it is natural, and they’ll get
over it some day!"
Whether it is natural for children
to quarrel daily, really depends on
the home training. If it is discoun
tenanced at the very start a good
beginning is made. Two little tod
dlers will often have their first quar
rel over some plaything that one ot
them does not want to give up tn
Lite other. One will hold on tightly
while the other pleads, scolds or
even uses little fists! Whoever loses
them shrieks and veils. But even
such tots can be taught fair play
"You have had it for awhile, now
let brother, or sister, have a turn!'
said firmly whenever there is such a
dispute, will soon be respected as a
rule, if constantly adhered to.
Sharing is another appeal thal
cannot he under-estimated for tinsel
l'lsh happiness all through life. Chil
ilren, once they see the advantages ol
it, will make many amicable little
arrangements them Ives over per
sonal belongings that avoid nerve
' frazzling arguments anil dome sib j
■ storms. Sharing indeed, is the most
i constructive remedy for chd Iren'
I quarrels. “If you let Johnny 1..iv
j half your randy ho will let you take j
' turns riding ills 'roaster,'" ran I)
a very peaceable settlement to a sit
nation that might annoy not only a!
mother, hut even the neighbor-.
A certain li ipful encouraging at
i imiaphere in a home also avoids quar
! rels. If every child is encourage!
io rejoice in euch member’s success
and to sympathize with defeats, the
I slings and slurs from petty jealous
: ies that are almost as unendurable as'
} violent quarrels, are avoided.
Equally lubricating for a friction-1
less home is sympathy, so “inexpen-j
she" and yet tea soothing to every-'
! one. The writer well remember
, her first day at school when some-!
j tiling she did or said made the!'
whole school laugh. Relating it a! J
; most in tears to the family, at the'
: noon meal, a younger sister imme-i
■ diately spoke up comfortingly. ‘If
they laugh at ‘oo,’ laugh at 'am'!"
| Surely practical sympathy for juve
i nile sensitiveness!"
Children indeed need to be taught
not to laugh at each other's mis
i fortunes, blit instead, to help. The
i Golden Rule, here, is the preventive
I for many hard feelings and a "quar-j
1 relsome." atmosphere.
When children can share their j
food, their treats and amusements
and clothes if necessary, they havei
very successfully assimilated the.
Golden Rule. If parents and rela-i
j fives would always take particular
pains to be impartial, also, this would I
prevent quarrels, for all children
i seem rexlv to accept “in turn." With
j children justice is the essential of
| peaceful work and play.

COMMITTEE WILL
WORK FOR BILL
TO AID MUSEUM
Polley to Sponsor Measure—
Meet Monday tp Discuss
Plan of Action.
The appointment by Gov. Scott C
Bone of a legislative committee from
the Alaska Historical Association as
called for by action of that organ
ization. was made public today when
It was announced by E. J. White,
chairman of the committee, that a
meeting would he held next Monday
at 3 p. m. to discuss the matter. The
committee will meet in the office o(
Karl Thoile. who is also a member
if the committee.
Other members are: James Ander
son. William Britt. John Reck. A. J
Rocatti. James Russell and R. J. Som
liters. The purpose of the commit
tee will he to work for legislation
to put the Territorial Library and
Museum on a more substantial basis.
In a letter to Chairman White,
given out by him today, Governor
Bone said that a bill designed to this
end has been prepared and will be
introduced and sponsored by Repre
sentative E. M. Polley. The provi
sions of the measure were not given.
Mr. Polley has been asked to meet
with the committee Monday and dis
cuss with the members the terms of
the bill and a tentative plan of ac
tion.
'Necessity for obtaining official fi
nancial support in maintaining the
two institutions was emphasized in
the last annual report made to the
association by Secretary A. P. Kashe
varoff. Up 'to the present time the
Territory has not contributed to
either by direct appropriation other
than one made last session for the
purchase of the celebrated Neuman
collection of Eskimo relics and
curios. The burden of providing funds
from membership fees of the associa
tion has been found to be too heavy,
and. as the Attorney General of the
United States has ruled that both in
stitutions are purely Territorial, and
shut off hone of Federal assistance.
the association will ask for Terri
torial aid.
Sentiment jmons members of the
coming session of the Legislature, so
far as it lias been possible to de
termine, it is said, is apparently fa
vorable. Every member approached
has been inclined to favor extending
financial support while no adverse
sentiment has been encountered. Gen
erailv. according to reports from Sec
ret ary Kaslievaroff, who is covering
Westward and Interior towns, public
opinion favors an appropriation for
the Museum and Library.

Doeller, New York automobile
I man, was a failure,.is to make a

i the grounds that Miss Littauer
was an American and free from
the French law, which requires
women to have their parents' con
sent to marry before the age of
21. Her father’s appeal from this
decision prevented her from im
mediately marrying the man of
her own choice.
