IncorriglbIe Parents.

a good deal is heard in courts, and
out of them, of incorrigible children, but
is it not just as well to talk now and then
about the incorrigibility of parents? Ar
guing from cause upon effect, it is not
unfair to assume that in a great many iu-
stances those traits in the chara cter OF
children, which develop into the incor-
rigible, or leastwise are thus regarded
by the parents, are generated and fostered
by the latter. In the majority of cases
those children are stgmatized by their
parents as incorrigible who do not yield
prompt and unreasoning obedience TO the
parental authority and command. Even
if these commands were not often in them
selves unreasonable, it would be a more
rational policy TO seek the attainment of
the ends to which they are directed by
less insistence upon slavish submission.
1t is much TO be feared that parents
do not sufficiently take into account
the different characteristics of their Off
spring All children cannot be governed
by the same rules any more than shoe
maker can make shoes for all his customers
on the same last. Nature has not dis
tributed her gifts with absolutely impair
tial hand. She has implanted yield
ing disposition here, and stubborn
one there. Where single word will
make one child do the thing desired,
or leave undone that against which the
parental edict goes forth, persuasion is
necessary with another to accomplish
the same results. 1t is strange that par
ents cannot or will not understand this.
The same differences in disposition are
noticed in adults, and are we not told
that they "are but children of larger
growth?'
Those parents especially who have no
other Interpretation for the maxim that

than their own imperious will, are most
OF what they are pleased to designate
as incorrigible children. The trouble with
them is that they do not attempt to under
stand their little ones. They do not take
the pains 10 study character, tefnpera ineut
disposition, predictions, likes and dis
likes. They utterly ignore the fact that
child's nature is far more complex than
an adults, because the fact that the
capacity 10 reason, to deduce results
from causes to explain why's and where
fores is immature and that it is the duty OF
the parents as it ought to be their pleasure.
to develop these faculties patiently, con
sistently aud intelligently.
OF course, it is not intended here TO con-
vey the impression that parents should
abdicate their authority over and exercise
no restraint upon their children. So far
from it, the parent should use both, but ia a
rational way, recognizing the fact that his
child, like himself, is a rational being
He should not be dictator or tyrant, but the
Suiue, pDIosopueT anu IrieuQ. II 1t is
desired TO have a certain thing done try
TO make the child comprehend that it is
for his good, but do not insist upon blind
, unreasoning obedience. Thus, when the
time comesfor The boy or the girl to choose
calling 10 life, let it be according to their
tastes and not to the preconceived notions
OF the parents without any reference to the
inclinations Or edaptability Of the young
folks.
All that has been said here may be
summed up in three words. Use common
sense If that is done there viii be fewer
applications to the courts to commit
incorriglbie children to reform schools and
the building up OF character will proceed
much more satisfactorily
