THEYNEED THE BIRCH
Boston Woman Speaks Plainly Re
garding Training Of Children.
Miss FIOretta VInInE, Aroused By the
bad Manners Of Youngsters, De-
elares the Crying Need of
the Home IL q switch.

Miss Floretta Vining, who is wealthy
and prominent in the Daughters of the
Revolution, and is the owner Of a syn
dictate of papers in towns along the
south shore of Massachusetts, has ere
ated a sensation by declaring in an edi-
tOrial that the children Of the present
generation are shocEngly ill-bred and
d~isagreeable. The editorial reads:
GAS this is my visiting season, and /
am a guest every night at dinner in
different houses, It astonishes me to
see the ill-bred nj of the chill
dren of the different homes. Where
there is only one child they seem to
own everything, including their fathers
and mothers.
"One or the other of their parents
excuses, when in my opinion nothing
short of a good sound thrashing would
avail anything. Another thing, chill
dren should go to school, rain or shine,
hail or snow, IL they are in good health.
As a general thing, children go bad
because the mother is not at home to
look after them. l am grieved beyond
anything to see the children left with
the servant girls while their mother
goes about, and when company comes
they have those fearful ill-bred man
ners, which the mother knows is dead
wrong. The husband looks up to her
and says: "Is that the care you have
owe your children?'
Taking children to theaters even
ings is wrong. At dinner the other
evening a child took to the dinner table
a novel. She read continually. Soup
was set before her; it cooled off.
"Her mother said: Stop reading,
and eat your dinner She took no no
tice of her mothers command. but kept
on. The second soup ame She treat
ed it as the first After awhile that
was taken out.
when the meat course came she ate
no meat, but crumbled bread into the
gravy, reading all the time. The con-
versation was general, as other guests
were present, but she sat opposite me
at the table, andI was so mad to see her
actions!
Fathers and mothers think the
world of their children and ruin them
with kindness. A few good lessons
and a good, sound whipping now and
then, showing you are master Of the
situation, would help them immensely
in after years, when you are not there
to care for them. Reverse things from
what they are now.
"Get up in the morning and go to bed
early. It is the cause of success in life,
and, above all, take no i~mpudence from
your children; no, not n word. Show
that you are master"
The various first families of the state
who have had the honor of entertain
ing Miss Vining will read her remarks
with boundless joy and becoming hui

After the experiences of a corona
