FRIDAY, DECEMBER 16, 1921 Chriatmms Toya An enormous amount of money has always been spent on Christmas toys for the children, and it is the natural expression of love for the little ones and enjoyment of their happiness. Excusing Young People From Failure College authorities complain of the many parents who come to their in- stitution!, and demand that boys who had utterly fallen down in their studies, be, given another chance. This will be asked in many cases where the boys have wilfully neglect- ed their work. In dealing with young people, there But sometimes the simple toy gives more real satisfaction than the costly one. Many mechanical toys used to be sold that were poorly made. They were elaborate and handsome, and the children would look at them open mouthed for a few days, until they refused (o work. A toy of that kind does not help a child to develop. Children should be taught to pre- serve their toys, but if they are so made that they-go to pieces in a few days, the youngster has no incentive to care for them. Toys are very useful when they give a Child the opportunity to en- gage in some healthful sport, or game that develops his initiative, or when they encourage him to do something with his hands. A set of building blocks, for instance, leads him to exercise skill and imagination. Sub- stantial and well made toys that lead a child to do things for himself, can \>c a factor in promoting his develop- ment. Making Work Out of Christmas Christmas is a very beautiful holi- day, embodying perhaps the sweet- est and loveliest sentiments of which the human race is capable, Vet some people make the Christmas period one of worry and overstrain. There are some women who have long lists of friends, and they feel that all these people must be remctn- bercdâ€"for thisâ€"holiday.â€"Someâ€"ot them will select and send off remem- brances to a hundred or more people. Many of these gifts are just Christ- mas cards, yet they devote a good deal of thought to each card, so as to be sure that the sentiment is appro- priate. Noble as the feeling of Christmas is, any good thing can be overdone. Some people who are worrying and fretting about their list of presents, have failed to catch the real'spirit of the occasion. Crippled Children Dr. Adolph I.orenz, jhe famous Austrian surgeon, declares that there are in the United States 10 to 15 ies more people needing operations as the result of infantile paralysis, than in any other country of the world. He is astounded by the adult cripples who had dragged around paralyzed limbs nearly all their lives without effort to get them cured. Many parents of such children lack the money for costly- treatment. _ Vet many surgeons gladly perform oper- ations without charge for poor people. What is needed is well endowed hos- pitals for a lot of these sufferers. The terrible epidemics of infant paralysis have left an army of (i aimed_young^people, and they need help from some generous source. People who have ever visited a school for crippled children and have watched the determination with which they play ball and try in all possible ways to overcome their ter- rible^ handicap, will believe that these young folks are worthy of a better chance. * . is a tendency to talk a lot and not do anything.
