Raising a Family—

Scouts Help Building of Character

Child May Be Proud to Belong to Such Groups, Writer Says.

(Eleventh of a Series)

By OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON Clubs and organizations play such a big part today in children’s lives,

that they need to be talked about, I]

I believe. Few groups have done so much for our boys and girls, in the way of character development, as our Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts or organizations operating on the same design. They have for their credos all the sterling character goals and honor-molding ideals that the best thought offers. Your child may be proud indeed, mother, to belong to such a group. And I shall conclude this short eulogy by saying that in many cases children learn more practical selfhelp in these groups, than they do at home, However, there is a tendency at the moment to organize everything, The children have their little clubs all over the place. It is getting down to the small fry, who now speak quite proudly of their “president,” and their “chairman.” Dear only knows, voungsters have always had their clubs, beginning with the shanty in the back lot and moving on up to the Literary League, or the Junior Antelopes.

Attractions Multiplied

Tt began to fan out then in earnest and the high school seniors had half a dozen or so societies of every kind under the sun. If they didn’t belong to the “Blue and Silver,” they belonged to the “Wand and Wigs.” There were dramatic groups, gvm teams, dancing clubs and all the rest. But not until the age’of 16 or 17, did the pressure become so intense. Daddy became resigned finally and only grumbled a little when he handed out the front door key, and mother learned not to worry after 11 o'clock. Here we are today, with about a million junior clubs in our midst, doing a lot of good, naturally, in their cultural and educational influence and their physical benefits, but how about the child who never has a second to spend at home? What with school, special classes, movies ang clubs, a large portion of today's parents see almost nothing of their families, especially in cities. Gradually the world is putting in its wedge, and just as gradually the parent has less and less to say, or offer, against specially-fitted leaders. Breeds Indifference

Maybe it is a good thing in a number of cases, and the boy or girl is better off away from a home where conditions are dad. But I am just old-fashioned enough to believe that distance does not make the heart grow fonder, but rather more indifferent. It used to be that up-and-coming children made an effort to help keep the unfortunate home on its feet. We are losing the close contacts that hold families together, and a certain sympathy of the child for the problems of his house and its members. He is going to set him-

self apart entirely before long, and |

what then, professor? Children are keyed up too much, hey can’t stay put or think quietly. They think well, but too quickly. But that is further along. My grievance 1s that they are not at home enough. And so, mother, I believe I should limit the number of clubs my child belonged to. Be a little selfish. He is your child. Have him around sometimes,

Yorkshire Pudd

ing Batter

Best Ingredient for Popovers

By MRS. GAY

NOR MADDOX

Small hot breads are friendly little things which seem to have a nice

sense of humor. It's hard to think

of a man biting into a popover, for

example, with an unkind thought in his head. Several readers lament their ignorance of the secret of popovers.

So I talked the matter over with a Popover Queen, She says she uses a Yorkshire pudding recipe for the batter. Here's how:

Yorkshire Pudding (Serves 4 to 6)

One-half cup milk, 1 cup sifted all-purpose flour, 1-4 teaspoon salt, 2 eggs, 1-2 cup water, 1-4 cup beef drippings (or bacon fat), cake pan 9 by 13 1-2 inches. Add milk gradually to flour and salt and beat with rotary beater until smooth. Beat eggs until very light and fluffy. Add to the flour mixture and continue beating for 10 minutes. Beat in the water a little at a time and set aside for 30 minutes. Heat the pan piping hot, add the beef drippings, and when smoking, turn in the batter. Bake in very hot oven (475 degrees F.) for 20 minutes. Edith, the Popover Queen in private and delightfully friendly life is no other than Edith Key Haines, author of two highly successful cook books and countless supper parties. She does this with Yorkshire pudding when it's popover time in her house:

Popovers (15 of them)

Mix Yorkshire pudding batter. Heat iron popover pans, or custard cups, until very hot. Grease each ring with 1-2 teaspoon butter, and fill 3-4 full with the batter. Bake in very hot oven (475 degrees F.) for about 20 minutes.
