Special Correspondence Of The Evening Star.
HAGERSTOWN, Md, February q, 1902
A movement is On foot at Hancock, this
county. to make the large stone bridge
across the Potomac river at that place
free. The president OF the company,
stockholder Of Cumberland, and the COM
missioners OF this county, are favorable to
the project. The bridge company is cap
italized at $4,000, and pays a semi-annual
dividend Of per cent. The desired change
is suggested on account of the industries
that wish to locate at Hancock and failed
to secure reasonable rates Of toll across
the bridge.
Rabbits are eating the bark of peach
ana apple trees in the orchards about Kee

Topic Discussed bv Mrs. Page

0ASSsASoS0 L
The only paper Of this afternoon was pre-
sented by Mrs. Mary Boone Page of the
Chicago kindergarten Institution Her sub
ject was discipline and Child Study and
she had a large audience, despite the In
clement weather.
"The main points presented under this
head" she said. "are grouped as follows:
The meaning of discipline, the modes and
the aids to discipline. In the large sense
discipline Is form Of government. From
the child study point Of view 1t is a form of
training But the words training and disci-
plfne used popularity mean very differ
ent things. Training is teaching in the
best sense showing the child how, inform
ing. Discipline is a corrective; it is 70 re-
mind one of what is already supposed to
know the wisdom, but lapsed therefrom. 1t
must be for the specific acts, and is for the
benefit primarily of the individual; seconda-
rily. others In relation to 1t. The child 8
knowledge of right Is very limited, Is
usually that which is permitted differently.
Wrong Is that which is prohibited. Author
ity Is usually expressive Of adult ideas Of
law and justice. The existence Of authority
should be justfffed-not necessarily ex-
planned. but based on needs in growth Of
individual.
THE deep-seated love of power often
makes government q pretext for excess.
Discipline is knowledge of cause and effect.
Only gradually can little children under
stand this, and necessarily through expe-
rience.
The training Of habits oc feeling doing,
thinking. the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
The forming of right and true associations
In thought and deed. In order to draw right
conclusions Is absolutely necessary. Con-
sistency in example, most valuable as the
best social stimulus. Children become NOR
ally self-directive slowly, as they cannot
foresee the results of acts in the range of
perspective, as does the adult.
1.-THE modes of discipline should be upon
the plane of development Of the Individual
or group. Broadly speaking, they are in
three main groups-1, the physical plane;
2, the intellectual; 3, the social and spir-
ituaI.
Not to explain "the reason why to some
types Of children would be unjust and un-
wise. Each must be met on it's own plane
Of need and growth. Difference In mode,
where strong habits are at stake, discipline
must be greater. certainly Is more i'm
portant than severity.
Development Of faith I'm parent or
teacher makes discipline effective. The
more sympathetic interest between them
the less discipline necessary. Aids to dis
cfplfne are broadly speaking, objective, en-
vfronmental and subjective.

give the disciplinary experience weighs
