The busy mother will find the care of the home too much for one pair of hands unless she enlists the children as helpers. Let her begin to practice systematics at once. Assign some corner or box of play-things to one child to be cared for. A small boy might have the work of putting away yesterday's newspapers regularly, as his part in keeping the house tidy. The small daughter could pick up and dust in one special room, taking care that a second dusting by a more careful hand is not necessary. The motive for doing these little tasks well should be made prominent, showing that the child is big enough to "help" mother. Praise should be bestowed, not as if it were anything astonishing and out of the way for the child to do the work well, but as a token of appreciation of the motive and manner in doing it. Encourage as much as possible, but do not develop vanity by praising to excess. Let their love be the mainspring of their every act of service.--_Written for Dew Drops by Julia H.
