G, ,e4vor to see their little world through their little
eyes.
When child has collided with the moral code
of the home it should not be punished arbitrarily
bat should he taught gently, wisely, and firmly
wherein it did wrong. the principle Of right 1t was
violating. the ethics of the situation reduced TO the
lowest common Denomination of juvenile under
standing 1t is not necessary to torture the child
with prosv, priggsh Rollo lecture morals; but
a sweet simple, frank talk will help the child to get
its bearings If child does know it is doing
wrong far it is concerned 1t has done wrong
It's ignorance should be transformed into WISDOM
it does need punishment, but merely lnforma-
ton Even weak human law recognizes this pr1n-
ciple when it admits that child must reach
certain age Of discretion before it is entitled
to be guilty of an ndiscretion and to be punished
therefor.
Threatening a child continuously with vague
awful things that will beall it if ventures
a clearly marked dead line of prohibition does not
do the child any good nor does it raise the parent
rating in the Bradstreet of the chds appreciation
Children respect firmness, clear, formulated, definite
rules: wavering indecision seems to them weak
ness If they have been warned that certain
punishment has been scheduled to fit a certain
crime they should realize that there is escape
for guilt. There should be absoluteness about
the fact that raises it above the petty rank of
threat and brings respect for the law and the law
maker.
Punishment in public that humiliates the child

opinion is dear to it. rarely of service When you
puncture the tire of individuals self respect you
have made it hard for him to move forward bravely
his way. You have weakened his moral power
of recuperation 1t IS equally true with children
Truth, like paper patterns IS cut in all sizes to fit
all needs
When juvenile offender has taken its punish
ment, it should not be subjected to fusillade of
taunts, sneers, nagging reproofs, get spasmodic
hypodernic injections of moral lectures, be held up
before itself horrible example, forced to walk
under the shadow of suspicion, kept under a
moral quarantine until all bacteria of wckedness
have been destroyed. The punishment is in itself
a sort of moral funligation When the child has
suffered the punishment it should have clean bill
of moral health and be restored to the full free cit
zenship Of the home Punishment is the enforced
payment of a moral debt When the debt is paid

following Forgiveness with a string to it IS poor
thing to give even adult; it is more unfair to a
child When it is all over there should be the kiss
of reconciliation and restoration: dual pledge,

Forcing child to say he is sorry, that he will
never do it again, host of other promises when
he is still heartsore with the punishment is method
that often leads to hypocrisy, weak surrender and

astonished to find his victim still in his former
miserable plight.
What have you done with the money!" he cried.
Look, devil, this cross!' exclaimed the other
as he sprang from his bench and held the holy en-
blem toward his unwelcome visitor. The latter
shrank back with curses and fled through window

the cross melted, and henceforth lived in luxury
