ROSES AND CHILDREN
Parents can learn the secret of how to get the best out of their children by applying the principles of rose culture, according to Mrs C. B. S. Hodson, a London biologist, who is secretary of the Bureau of Human Heredity. "When a gardener buys a bundle of roses," she pointed out, "he first looks them oyer to discover what varieties there are. picking them out by signs such as the shape and texture of thi leaf. He knows that he cannot treat them' all alike. Some like clay, others sand; some thrive in exposed spots, others prefer shelter. In the samo way each individual child requues a special environment, and there is no such thing as 'a good environment' which will be good for all Children."
