long before there was any general law
on the subject, since Gregory ~

given out in church. according to Gus

France about the ninth century and
IN IIa6 was enforced in the diocese of
Paris. -
The earliest enactment OF the s,b-
Ject IN England was an order made in
the synod Of Westminster in 1900 TO
the effect that no marriage should he

IT Is FOLLY
To BRIGHTEN
YOUR CHILDREN
BY ANGELA MORGAN.

WOMAN in Utah who was in ths
n habit OF frightening her children
into obedience By playing suicide
took stryehnine BY mistake and
died from its effects
II is reported that the mother, N or
der TO compel her children, when
naughty, 10 BE good was accustomed
10 mix a dose OF sugar and water and
swallow il in their presence, pretending
IL was poison
OF course, the illness she afterward
feigned invariably had the effect Of
plunging her terrified offspring into the
depths OF penftent grief Then came
the blunder whereby real poison was
taken BY the mother instead OF the
usual harmless potion, and pretense be-
came dread reality
This unfortunate woman represents
much larger class OF mothers than we
in this advanced age would wish 70 ad-
nit II seems almost incredible that IN
a land that boasts such enlightenment
we have thousands OF mothers who ac-
tually believe they are training their
children when they are simply soaring
them into submission.
The wonder is not that ignorant, stu
pid women employ such methods. but
that mothers OF supposed intelligence
who know better. but who from sheer
power. fail TO put forth the right sort
Of effort in rearing their progeny
When mother follows the line OF
least resistance in governing her child,
she is Unquestionably exhibiting selfish
ness. Iaziness or lack OF will power
How can she hope to command Obedi-
ence or respect from her children when
she has not the strength Of character
10 govern herself?
Any woman who cannot cultivate the
patience. the self-control and the poise
to be firm, honest and persistent in the
training Of her children is not ft to be
a mother.
Yet there are many such among US. I
have frequently been shocked and
amazed to hear the threats made by
such parents in their attempts to quiet
children or make them mind"
1t is not only heathenish, but cruel
to tell sensitive. imaginative child
that II II isn't good some horrible fate
which the parent knows is impossible
will overtake II.
Childish imaginations are lively
enough and their tendency is TO exag-
gerate the pictures presented to them.
What right has any parent to flI the
mind of a child with hideous. distorted
shapes of bogy men. devils and myth
cal monsters7
What right has any parent, by anv
method whatsoever. TO terrify a child
into obedience? How can any mother
De so shortsighted that she cannot see
the futility of such a course and her
own folly in pursuing it? Sooner or
later she must lose the confidence of
her children. When they learn the eror-
tfness of her threats and see for them
selves her weakness OF will. can they
nave anything but contempt for her

IT is useless for any mother to at
tempt 10 evade the responsibility that
rests upon her in governing her chill
