Talking to the Child.

Mrs X-- talks to little Madge just as Mir X- talks to their dog, ," said a little girl of a neighboring fam fly And 1t was indeed true, Mrs. X- Is a very well-meaning woman and would be greatly surprised if she should hear the foregoing statement. She has simply unconsciously acquired 8 harsh tone of voice in dealing with her children. This is altogether un- necessary and is not, as many moth CTS seem to think, mark of good dis cipline. The mother whose manner is quiet but firm is generally a much more successful disciplinarian than the harsh-voiced mother who issues her commands in dictatorial manner. Kindness never spells children. It is fiabby indecision, sometimes mistaken for kindness, which spells them.
