His Long Apprenticeship.

standpoint, John Fisk has given the
long human infancy it's scientific in
depreciation. All that time he is do
ing things, through the things that are
done for him; and what he does, IN
that way, is perhaps the very best
thing he ever does. 1t seems that he
is the one for whom things are done,
but he is doing for others a work that
will tell on them and society for all
time to come Perhaps he is achiev,
ing his very greatest task in fulfilling
that long and, often tedious, appren-
ticeship. Interest centers on him as
an individual, but we come to see that
the most striking thing about him III
his social significance.
His most marked contribution is to
the family sociality, but that does not
limit his influence. He promotes pa
rental unity. The planning and work
ing and loving bestowed on common
object, so fascinating as he is, pro-
duces a unity with an element that
nothing else can supply And il there
should be in them tendencies toward
divisions, this may divert their minds
and prevent permanent cleavage; and,
by the time they have taken him
through, from infancy to manhood,

giving him an education and start
in life the habits of cooperation will
have become fixed enough to carry
them along without his further aid.
BY that time he will have trained
them in self-discipline, for many IA
Their is kept from less worthy life
by the thought of his boy or his little
girl. There is a sociality as between
the parents on the one side and the
children on the other; also between
the children themselves, and nature
has given him time to make good in
both tasks Other children and other
homes are the benefciaries of his fine
opportunity for long service, in q
social way.
But his long childhood is just the
thing for his own education, not only
in a general way, but in some of the
powers, especially needed in the flu
ture. One is altruism; and a long
period of service, for which there is
no scale of rewards, Is the best way
for him to learn it.

The Boys Punishment

The boy who snps through life with
out getting some sort OF punishment
there is no such boy Even if he
should never do anything to REQUIRE
punishment-but no; why deal In pure
hypothesis? II he should be able to
escape all the vigilance committees
that are after him, it would be solely
because he is doing the Furnishing and
administering the discipline himself,
and In secret; but we need not tarry
over that rare, if not impossible,
specimen. Some divergence from the
line OF rectitude is inevitable, even
when that line is clearly drawn by the
teaching, and attractively Illuminated,
by the practise of those who have him
in charge. He cannot escape all his
monitors, including his conscience. So
punishment must come, because, if
there be no results of wrong-doing
there can be no wrong-doing, and we
have fool world to live in.
Those who have him in charge have
been nominated and elected to admin
lister it; but you must first catch the
hare before cooking it, and you must
actually find something to punish be-
fore the punishment is handed out to
him. 1t takes some sense to know
with certainty, in every case, whether
there has been wrong-doing, what it
deserves, how the punishment should
be administered and what is the pur-
pose of it. So it is an intricate and
unusual problem presented when his
daddy starts out to punish him.
Sometimes boy looks impudent,
has an irritating accent and seems to
deserve attention on general princi-
pies. In that case, circumstantial evil
dence becomes conclusive. Sometimes
it is his awkwardness and not his
meanness that leads to break. All
of us are interested in what Tolstoi
writes, and he says his ungainly, ugly,
stupid-looking face and coarse, I'M
shapely hands and feet distressed him
and made him more intractible when
boy. An irritated parent may lick him
to work off his own anger, and that Is
worse than hanging the wrong man
from circumstantial evidence. To mis-
treat boy is a crime and ought to be
treated as such 1t is not always pos
sible to keep boy from thinking he
is unjustly treated and, in that case,
all you can do is to do right and let
him get over his milf whenever it
suits his convenience.
Punishment can be reduced to min
imum by careful discipline in the di-
recting of his life. Directing a boys
life is a god deal like directing the
course of horse. There are two ways
of driving horse, right and wrong
way. The right way is to hold the
reins slightly taut, SO that the horse
can feel the faintest pressure on either
line, and soon he will enter with you
Eagle River review. [volume] (Eagle River, Wis.) 1890-1927, 1911-08-18

into the enjoyment of the drive The
wrong way is to let him have the reins
and do as he will, until he does some
thing you do not want, and then go at
him and beat him till his skin and his
heart are sore and he grows weary
and profane and would like to do
something desperate. The horses mis-
takes are wholly due to the way his
driver has treated him and the latter
deserves the beating. Good discipline
will save drubbing.
1t is my most solemn conclusion
that, in almost every case, the wrong
doing of boy that requires punish
ment could have been prevented by
the parents, and that they ought to
take the punishment themselves. They
ought to have honor enough to volun-
tarily take it and let him know 1t, so
that he may have the moral effect Of
seeing such rare instance of nobil-
ity. There is still an altruistic element
in suffering.
But when punishment Is truly de-
served, it must be given and the oc-
casion made an epoch in the life of
the boy. 1t is not to be made an end
in itself, nor matter of retribution,
nor anyones vindication, but an edu-
cation to the boy. It must, first of all,
bring him back to the line of rectitude
from which he departed. 1t must ava
ken in him, not alone sense of the
majesty of right and truth, but new
desire to conform his life to it.
Inseparable from the Furnishing must
be the effort to remove the occasion,
and even the cause, of the offense for
which it was inflicted. If they trace
it back to themselves they must pro-
tect him from themselves, their modes
of speech. the atmosphere they create
by their inner spirits and their failure
to give him the wise discipline and the
steady, authoritative direction his life
needs If the cause of it is in him
alone, as, in rare instances, it is, they
can undertake no higher life-task than
protecting him against his own faults.
He will respect authority, but not
those who WELD it like tyrants or out.
laws. He may be persuaded to enter
into any right scheme of discipline, in
volving punishments and rewards,
which means he will cooperate in his
own development, thing very neces-
sary if there is to be a right develop
ment. The sentiment of fear, which
one may appeal to, in a right way.
may be harnessed up to active work
and turned into love.
Punishment must be free from
threats and harshness and anger, for
they defeat it's purpose. It must not
be occasional and intermittent, but as
each need arises. The quieter and
freer from noise and talk such occa.
sions can be made, the more surely
will they serve their true purpose.
