MISGUIDED HOME DISCIPLINE
To Allow Long Crying Spells Is to Per-
nit ChiId's Vitality to Be Slapped.

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 it ont" Some wee
thing well under two years, perhaps
a little over q year old. wishes TO do.
or not 10 do. something, and cries
when thwarted. The nurse, or, sad
der still, the mother, who poses as Il
spare the rod, spoil the child dis
ciplinarian. assumes that the child
is destined 10 develop an obstinate
disposition; and henceforth there is on
every occasion u 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 jrrked up into q cot, 4
corner, or a high chair, and allowed
to cry till he is tired. The strong
willed, or So-callcd stubborn. child
cries louder and louder; and II he is
old enough he probably feels kind OF
JOYFUL revenge in having made his
tormcntor thoroughly uncomfortable
for half an hour. He stops in the end,
not perhaps. without IL final whipping.
He IS chastencd. but not subdued.
The highly nervous sensitive child
cries first for disappointment, then
Tor sheer fright at his own noise. Quite
forgetting what he first wept for, he
goes on Historically crying because
he has cried" Al length, unnerved
and unhappy he cries till he is eX-
hauSted. miserable, ami thoroughly
lonely. He stops, not because he wills
TO stop, but because he IS thoroughly
spent. And if he is shut in his night
nursery to cry it out he little by little
gets his spirit broken. In either case
such scenes are apt to become by
repetition habitual, and to ruin rather
than mend Il childs ways.
A little child should never be al.
lowed to learn that he can cry for /
long spell. From babyhood a fit of
crying should be discouraged by quiet
ness and irmncss; by Il force outside
itself. the stronger will gradually

can stand alone the support may be
withdrawn. A child should be trained.

THE WOMAN WHO FARMS
She Who Would Make Roadway Must
Be of Practical, Tailor Made Type.

Plenty of women fail in farming be-
cause they have taken 1t up either too
hastily or with too little capital, or
because they have already worn them
selves out at some other vocation. and
have not the strength for the hard
work of the farm. II a teacher finds
some disadvantages in caring for fifty
restless children, she must not expect
cutting seed potatoes to be sheer
pleasure. The hcn-run cannot take the
place of the woman's club nor can the
tomato field be regarded as salon.
All women who make haadway,
whether they follow farming because
it was the occupation of husband or
father, or whether they come into it
from other occupations, are of the
same practical tailor made type-wom-
en usually past their first youth, no
longer eager for the life Of the city
with It's crowds and anIusements. and,
above all. no longer just working at
something. or other till they can get
married, but looking for something
that will suit their particular needs
and provide for their unmarried mid
they are of those who do not make
marriages their preeminent aim. They
are all of the nature that could nevc:
be content to be cogs in a wheel and
so they choose self-directing life
and there is none more individual.
They are alert, resourceful and tact
full. the sort to master the soil, but
also the sort that could anywhere
master difficult situation.
Undoubtedly those who get along
best are the ones who were brought NJ
on Il farm, and thus have always had
the RICH: sort of exercise for the kind
OF physical development most valra-
BILE to them; they have had the piaC-
teal work. and they can. if necessary,
do all the farming operations. There
are multitudes OF such women stand
ing behind the men farmers of this
country. Those who stand alone or
farms OF their own are to be found
in the East rather than in the West. |
The reason is not only that land is
in the East. but that men are
rarer; and in the West many women |
who could succeed we'll on farm are
taking the chance OF succeeding we'll .

St. Paul to Give School Lunches.

Penny lnncheons will be sold next
year at the schools, If DR.. +. a. Mey-
erding, school physician, has his way.
You do not realize how many chill
dren from proper homes GO to school
without breakfast" said Doctor Meyer
ding. commenting upon his recoalmcn.
dation for penny lunches at certain
schools. Possibly It is not because
they are not offered anything to eat
but 1t is offered in such way that It
is not appetizing. Seeing poorly nour-
ished children. usually ask what they
have had for breakfast. and great
many reply that they have had none.
Others come to school after taking a
CUP of black Coffee only. AS a re-
suit they are half-starved and entirely
unable to do their work.
Penny lunches have been establish
ed extensively in the East and have
proved successful. A cup OF hot cocoa
and a bun are served for a penny.
Hot soup costs the same amount. The
lunches are served at recess and they
greatly benefit the health of the chill
dren and incidentally help them
greatly in their work. II is not nee
essary that they b. established in the
school buildings. so that they are
somewhere near.
Since lunch counters have been es-
tablished in the high school where
they are less necessary, | do not see
why they should not be put into some
of the grade schools where they are
badly needed. st. Paul Dispatch.

LID ON CUPID'S PosToFFIcE
A Day at General Delivery Window
Reveals Many Queer Characters.

Reveals Many Queer Characters.
Cupid's postoiiice, the general de.
livery windows of the postoffices of
large cities, where young girls were
wont to receive surreptitious letters
from tabooed lovers, IS thing of the
past in st. Louis. This modern pro-
totype of the old hollow tree, where
grandmother used to hide notes on her
way to the little red schoolhouse for
grandfather to slip out and get when
they thought he was milking, has
been done away with.
Now unromantic mail clerks ask
searching questions, and II there is
no good reason why Miss Sixteen
should receive her letters through the
general delivery windows instead OF
at her home they are not given her
Or il there is reason to suspect that
letters are addressed to an assumed
name they are not delivered. One
prosperous looking man had received
mail under the name of Smith or
something like it, for some time One
day an unsupported friend slapped
him on the back with hearty Hello
Jones. how are you-Mr. Mail Clerk,
this is Mr.. JONES' and the color Of
.Jones's face resembled that OF we'll
boiled lobster. After the mutual
friends departure Mr.. Jones was in
formed that his Smith mali would
be sent to the dead letter office here
after.
A day spent In the general delivery
window is day with humanity in re-
view. All life parades before you.
humOr treads on the heels of pathos,
greed jostles sentiment and plain
foolishness leads the procession. IT.
is crowd with its emotions nearest
the surface and with the least effort
to conceal them. Each is intent only
on his own hopes. hidden in that
square white envelope, and he who
runs may read in his face what its
contents are.
Most general delivery patrons make
no effort to control their facial eX-
pressions. They buStle up to the win
dow with an air of pleased expectancy,
tear open their letters before they are
out OF line. then their faces change
like magic into as many expressions
az there are human emotions. Some
take on a steady glare OF rage, some
drop their Jaws in blank dismay-
he didn't send the money!"-some
mush up with an expression OF such
soft sentimentality that the alarmed
on locker expects to see their features
blur together.
All sorts and conditions of people
come, some boldly, some hesitatingly.
some sneaking in with backward
glanccs to see II they are observed,
simpcring girls. tramps, travellers,
mothers with eyes that move the heart
asking for letters that never come.
For years a ragged tramp called
daily at the st. Louis Postoftice, and
each day received letter bearing the
return address of large firm in an
Eastern city. In It was dollar bill.
That dollar carried him over till the
next day, when a similar letter came
again. One morning the newspaper
contained an account of a mans body
found in the cellar OF a saloon or
suburban town. The man had been
identified as the relative of one OF the
members of the Eastern firm in whose
envelopes the daily letters had come
for so long. The calls and the let
tiers ceased. and that story, whatever
it was, ended-St. Louis Republic.
