Training Children at the Table.


Children's fancies i'll the matter Of diet are
only occasionally worthy Of serious consider
alton. There may be constitutional peculiar
ities which render certain kinds of food OBJ
noxiouS to them, but with very rare exeep-
tions; strenuous efforts should I've made by
the parents TO conquer such averslons. Much
discomfort would be spared the children and
those with whom they associate in later life
could these vagaTles be checked at the very
outset One child dislikes roast beef, another
refuses 70 eat bread. Still third will not
touch fruit or any kind of animal food except
poultry. Very often the whim Is only adopt
ed for that passion for showing Off" inher-
eut in the childish nature, and which is not
always lacking in children of a larger
growth. The child is father of the man, and
the boy who is "fussy" about his eating in
youth is apt 10 be opinlonated and selfish IN
maturity.
Akin to this piece Of eccentricity are tricks
of table manners. These are more frequently
seen in men than in women, either because
the latter are more easily led and thus more
easily influenced TO correct and quiet de-
meanor, or because boys are thrown more
into rough company of doubtful breeding
than are their sisters. Whatever the cause,
the fact renders doubly important the careful
training of children while under the home
roof. The boy who makes a melange of all
the food on his plate, using the KNIFE first as
the implement with which 10 mix the ingredi
ents into an indistinguishable mass, and then
as the shovel with which he piles his fork an
inch high before conveying it to a widely
opened mouth, is not apt to be graceful ad
dition to dinner party when he attains years
of discretion, or, indeed, TO give much pleas
IRE by his presence at any repast. Habits
formed in early youth stick through life with
the uenacity of burrs.
A mistaken kindness frequently withholds
parents from correcting little actions denOting
awkwardness on the part of their children.
Many mothers have an iDtense dread of mag
ging," and justly. One must take into ac-
count the obstinacy and perversity of chill
dren that NAV sometimes be accounted for
by heredity, but is in other cases unexplain-
able Often it seems as if the mere endeavor
10 break child of a fault only rooted it more
deeply, until the mentor is fairly discouraged
and yields the point sooner than cause further
hard feeling by perpetual scolding Such a
course almost inevitably brings regret sooner
or later 10 both mother and child. To say
nothing of the wretched principle involved
by the guardian confesSing herself foiled in
an encounter of this sort, piece Of childish
naughtiness or ill-breeding assumes much
more formidable proportions when he who
practices it is ~ instead of l0-Christine Ter
