There are certain essential nfeetes
in which the child should be trained,
such as ownership In his individual
comb, brush, towel and washeloth and
toothbrush. A respect for his own and
others property rights may well be
inculcated since he Will be forced to
consider the latter all his life. Neat
ness and orderliness are part Of the
home discipline, or should be, but
when it comes to the overnicety that
develops into business 1t Is a moth
er's business to call a halt.
A child is the most democratic of
creatures. Clothes don't count until
the maternal insistence makes them a
torment. Don't get your clothes dirty"
has spoiled more good times for a
child than anything else ever will. He
is having the time Of his life till nurse
or mother comes along to jerk him out
Of happiness and set him on a chair
to "be good and keep clean" Better
see a child as dirty as the little pig we
call him-thereby much maligning a
useful creature that would be much
cleaner If we gave it a c~hance-than
self conscious of clothes and strutting
before a mirror or fretting because he
has put on stockings that don't be-
long with that particular pair of shoes.
