- Sire nv 4 f 1-W1 6 Advice to Sargent Grads Who Will Raise Their Little Ones Very, Very Pre-Adolescent Place the child, when old enough to say Ouch, upon the top of the highest piano you can find. Leave it there a specified length of time, not specified here and if the child falls off and you are sure it fell, examine it carefully and put it on top of the piano again. If it falls off again you may make these deductions: 1. It is a Moron if it falls off three of four times. For it ought to know better after all that, if there is anything left of it. 2. If it clocsn't say Ouch, it is an idiot. A Little After Pre-Adolescerwc a. Teach the Child to skip all around the place, to run and to walk, with the toes down. If you catch him with his toes turned up you'll know there is no hope and you can bury him wherever you see fit. b. Feed the child lots of Vitamines chiefly I-I, K and Q which are both popular and healthy. Vitamine K is composed of green things, Arsenic, Oats and green covered book bindings. Vitamine Q may fool some people but all it is is skimmed and boiled milk with half water added. Lots of children like it now a days. Well, anyway, see that the children get these things and masticates them well. Adolescence ana' Young Azlultlaood Now is the time where great work can be done. After a number of engine dis- ability tests in which you make the child wiggle his teeth, touch his left foot to his right eye and jump upon, climb around and evade an ideag he is ready to play games and get a lot out of them. Give him games on the order of Cat and Rat until he is at least fifteen, taking into consideration all this time that he did say Ouch -then branch out into Rat and Cat, Feline and Animal, Hydrophobia and Bubonic Plague, etc., etc. If he doesn't get full value out of those, it isn't your fault, continue and suffer. If your boy or your girl lives in the city and can't run around with a club and a bearskin and go to bed nights in trees-teach him by playing to do these things. For in- stance you can say gleefully: Come on Johnny, I bet you can't climb that steeple! He might answer: O K Mumsy, after you. You can let that pass. ' And now the child is ready for the big bad World waiting outside his little home, with dripping jaws to gather him in. If you can get the full value of that sentence you're a better Man than I. Give him a dollar and say: My boy, go from me. Get tha-out of here. I have raised you as only a Sargent Grad knows how. Do me no dirt! Go, I give thee this dollar to keep and to cherish. Goodbye, Farewell. Ah, me. And when the Warden tells you his cell number, don't be discouraged. Remember the Piano! Start all over again! Where there's Life there's Hope!
