October. with excellent prospects for De-
cember. 1t was found there was little
demand for lower prices, already looked
upon as low enough.

To briefly sum UP the mort important
recent laws that have obtained in our
modern nurseries; these have undoubt-
edly tended TO more or less divide the
child from themother because the whole
tenor OF these regulations (rnost of
them very wlse) is toward an effort to
reproduce as nearly as possible for the
new born baby the secluded prenatal
conditions. The child, during the first
months Of It's life, is supposed TO be pro-
tected from the outside world, infre-
Quently touched, not cuddled. not
rocked, not chirped to nor amused.

stantly "comforted" "patted"; I'm a

writ large SO much Of sound sense II

places of amusement and there watch
the ignorant mistreatment of small

than peace for these little, we might
almost say, half-born morsels of hu-

highest animals at birth, needing to
remain years longer than the lower ami

This new effort to obtain for them n
wholesale repose, I'm which mental
stimulation, nervous excitement linn
tied, they may go on with physical
growth, is almost like the discovery of
a new and valuable law of life. But all
these conditions have been obtained for
the child only by means of more or

with careful reservation 1t might be

had they, too, never heard of such a
thing.
How long is 1t safe for me to let my
baby cry?" A young mother asked
this question Of her old family physi-
clan, a scientist with all the gospels OF
the present, and yet one who Knew how

provided that its mother continues to
listen for 1t and to mind hearing It's

child or not hear its cries, or not be

An uncomfortable, wise doctrine; q
trife, too like being told IL Is safe TO

There is certainly no selhshness no
saving of care to mother in a rule
that bids her TO let her baby cry. yet
be troubled while IL cries. A theory
that has been allowing the caretakers
OF infants-the pressure of a shocked
public opinion removed-to allow their
charges to cry continuously and UNI
comforted has unquestionably proved
trihe too convenient for some of the
caretakers.
We have discovered that we cannot
depend on motherly devotion to be suf-
ficiently scientific by instinct. and we
may have to learn still further that
neither can we depend upon 1t to be
persistently tender, under too heavy
temptations toward an unrebuked care
lessness.
There seem to be two undesirable re-
suits for the child itself that may fol-
low upon this particular rule Of in-
dorsed neglect; the first and least inn
portant being that a child who is al
lowed to lie and cry too long and too
often. it's cries unchecked, may form
a bad habit of useless and causeless
screaming to become torment later to
itself and others. More seriously, the
child may make the discovery that its
cries are unheeded, and in what stands
for the mind of the child is slowly
bred a distinct distrust, or rather an
absence Of confidence i'm his caretakers,
to whom he should instinctively turn,
as a flower TO the sun.
The Marion daily mirror. (Marion, Ohio) 1892-1912, 1910-12-30

neglect is beneficial to any child. 1t IS
good for all children to be allowed the
privilege of some crying, unmolested; I;
but there are, on the other hand, some
children who are definitely and more or
less seriously injured by this very kind
OF indorsed neglect. A minority report

IL II is true that lossening Of physl-
cal contact begets lesser spiritual un-
derstanding, then the price Is high, and
In the end II will be the child who pays.
Given the letter-some of us are built
so-the spirit often follows, and IL is
indeed a sex misfortune that, for some
strange reason, so few mothers are to-
day able to nurse their children. That
natural and inevitable fondllng held
undoubtedly its own education for the
child and for the mother.
The child's Morale Ignored.
In the early mutable years of her
young maternity any of these ques-
tlons that seem to affect the young
mothers training may become matters
of very real moment. Watching the
modern young mother handling her
child, then comparing her dexterity
with that of tho old-tlme mother who
more constantly "dandled" her baby.
