 It is amusing to the observer and pretty hard on the child. the way. some fond parents try their theories cf child culture on their first child, They get over it as the family grows and the child often lives through it, though, sometimes pretty bacly wo.s ed. Some mothers will spend half hour reasoning with the lad as to what she has forbidden. A mother has TO time to waste away reasoning with her child as to why it should obey her. What she says shauld be law and the child should, first of all things, learn obedience and then learn logic, after wards. To illustrate 1 have heard mothers say. "Son go and bring in some stove wood and the son would begin his reasoning with bis mother
  like this: "Oh. Mamma. why cant Jim gop" and at another time she said: Son. go and pull up the grass that is growing along the front walk. " And the son is ready for more reason ing with his mother: What's the use Ma, they'll grow thick again in less than two weeks" Don't give command till it ought to be given then have it cbeyed even if the house top falls in. do not advocate harsh means or tyrany at all. But for obedience your wish must De the way and your word must be the law You can let your child "why you into fool and himself into nuisance and ar anarchist.
