Down with the windows; don't let
them breathe the night air; it is poison
Gus; it will kill them says an old
authority
Nay; raise the windows and let the
title ones have the night air; it s as
pure as the air of garish monday; and
it was intended by the great Architect
to be breathed by both old and young;
is better advice.
Never correct a child when you are
angry, but wait till you cool down; tell
him that on certain future day, you
intend to give him regular ''screamer;"
and then like heartless Modoc squaw,
when the terrible hour comes, and when
your whole soul revolts at the idea of
fulfilling your brutal threat, call up
your offending little one, and beat him
for what he has long since nearly for
gotten This is the advice of large
orthodox class parental savages -
Rather whip your child,-if he must
be whipped,-at the time he ofends,
and while you are angry enough to do
it; he will know that he has merted it,
and that your anger has been justly
provoked by his bad behavior This is
better advice. We'd rather be a wild
savage than tame one. There is cruelty
unspeakable in a delayed hagellation,
which is thus broken to the trembling
victim: My son, to morrow, at half
past nine, come to me and be fogged
like dog or slave" Which means
i en- bigger than you. and can abuse
you. We'd rather be Camanche, than
such cold blooded Christian. No pa
rent should correct child when his
heart pleads for him, and the crime is
stale.
Every time the baby gets sick. run
for doctor, or send to the drug store
and buy half gallon of villainous stuff
decocted by diabolic art from dog-fenne1
and bark, and whip or scold the
hapless little wretch. if it doesn't gladly
