Honesty of the spoiled" Child.

Often, writes Woods Hutchinson IL
the Success Magazine, the spoiled
child is the one really best trained for
life Real life, that is, not the sham
trayesty upon it so carefully played In
the nursery and the schoolroom and
termed education The difference be-
tween a spoiled child and a well-be-
haved one is chiefly a matter of frank
ness Of expression. The spoiled child
says right out just what he happens
to think and feel, and you hear and
are panied by his expressions of skep-
ticism, Of resentment, even Of re-
bellion. Nine times out of ten the
"model" child feels exactly the same
sentlments-but refrains from express
ing them. When the spoiled child has
expressed himself-it may be even Inn
pertinently or rebelliously-the murder
is all out, the subject is fairly on the
carpet, and you can argue the case with
him on its merits, or II it be beyond
his grasp, assert your authority and
ask him to trust your superior expert
ence which he usually will, nine cases
out Of ten, If he is appealed to in this
way. In any case, you know the worst
that IS in him and can govern yourself
accordingly. Your model child may
submit in silence, without discussion
or remonstrance, but you may depend
upon it that he will discuss the ques-
ton on its merits with the nurse, or
the cook, or the hired man, or the.
bad boy in the next street; and that,
whatever feelings Of resentment or In
justice he may smother I'm his own lit
tie interior, so far as expressing them
toward you is concerned, he will pass
on with interest to his puppy, his kit
ten, or his younger brothers and sis
ters. or playmates.
