But some children find it hard to make friends. They should b8 helped to be the kind of child that attracts friends, Children are great democrats. the only real Ones ‘Jim's! are. They never ask about ances- tors, wealth. race or creed. ‘Phvy ask only “What can you do?" It ls the doer that attracts friends.

It is the child who excels in some_

one field of uctlc-n that feels him- self successful. wurructi by the ad- miration of his companions.

Only the ailing child is olng to find it difficult to be tops in some field of childhood's action, and many of them do excel in some way or other that gains attention and praise. Healthy children can have a choice of activities and should be encouraged to make .1 choice and then to du/ell with that activity until they shine in it. That they do for friendships sake.

Sports is one field that many children can shine in i-f they wish hard enough to make themselves work at it. The bull games, swim- ming. running. jumping. riding. The hobbies like collecting. learning a

craft; the art wc-rk the camera work, Making good use of a camera is one of the most en-

richimg experiences n child can have, and one that leads to excit- ing developments when followed through. Then there are dancing, sfnglng, playing musical instru- ments. any one of which accom- plishments will bring friends and helpers without number.

When a parent complains that his chi-id is pushed aside and blames his race, his creed, his social posi- tion c-r some other adult claim, he is wrong. Instead of trying to shield his child's weakness he should be dvlflg somethinll to strengthen him by putting him in the way of lcarn- ing to_ do something that. would, give him an entrance lnto child- hood's world.
