Misguided Discipline.

One of the most foolish as well as the
most fatal errors of discipline in the
nursery IS that expedient, resorted TO
by nurses ignorant of the simplest child
psychology, known as letting the little
one cry 1T OUT Some wee thing we'll
under two years, perhaps a little over a
year old, wishes to do, or not to do
something, and cries when thwarted.
The nurse, or, Sadder still the mother
VINO poses as a spare the rod, spoil the
child disciplinarian, assumes that the
child is destined to develop an obstinate
disposition; and henceforh there is on
every occasion a battle, a most uneven
battle, of endurance.
The little mite is told quite rightly
that he will have nothing if he cries.
And then he is jerked UP into a cot, a
corner or a high chair and allowed to-
cry till he is tired. The strong-willed
Or so-called stubborn, child cries loud
er and louder: and if he is old enough
he probably feels a kind of joyful re-
venge in having made his tormentor
thoroughly uncomfortable for half an
hour. He stops in the end, not, per-
haps, without a final whipping. He is
chastened, but NOT subdued.
The highly nervous, sensitive child
cries first for disappointment, then for
sheer fright at his own noise. Quite
forgetting what he first Wept for, he
goes on Historically crying because he
has cried" At length, unnerved and
unhappy, he cries till he is exhausted,
miserable, and thoroughly lonely. He
stops, not because he wills to stop, but
because he is thoroughly spent. And If
he is shut away in his night nursery
to cry it out he little by little gets his
spirit broken. In either case such
scenes are apt to ruin rather than
mend n child's ways.
A little child should never be allowed
to learn that he can cry for a long
spell From babyhood fit of crying
should be discouraged by quietness and
firrness; by a force outside itself, the
stronger will gradually lnolding the lit
tle embryo will, until it learns to con-
troll from within what must at first be
controlled from without. Like the
young plant, when he can stand alone
the support may be withdrawn. A
child should be trained, not broken

would have fallen far short of public
expectation.
From the New York Herald:
The president admits that the
Payne-Aldrich bill is not perfect, but
he advocates the curing of its defects
not by wholesale revision, with attend
ant disturbance OF business, but by oc-
casional changes in the duties on par
tfcular commodities If the researches
of the standing tariff commissioners
shall show that these can be altered
for the benefit of the consumer without
injury to the domestic producer. 1t
is a safe and sane program, and one
that must appeal to all thoughtful
citizens as conducive to peace and gen.
eraI prosperity.
From the Philadelphia Public Ledger:
The project of RECESSION "piecemeal."
with care and elaboration. after ex-
act information has been Cleaned by
the tariff board. has already met with
generally favorable reception from
antagonistic sources. Business men
who foresee that further tariff revision
must come recognize in the piecemeal
method a means of avoiding the ex-
IRENE disturbances which accompany
revision of an entire customs law.
while the eager revisionists can not
well object to a process of thorough
ness, accompanied by full information.
