IN THE WORLD OF JUNIORS
Penal Code Sensible and Most Effec-
tive for Punishment of Child
ish Faults.

Public opinion sways the child
world. Sometimes this opinion Is Great
ed by what an intelligent child has
learned through older people, some
times it comes of the children's own
reasoning. And the child who fails
in the etiquette demanded from him
by his own world is punished in the
surest and severest way. Public opin-
lon is against him or his misdeed; he
must remain on the outside until he
has proved his repentance. There
may be a suggestion for older people
in this method of treating offenders
in their midst. Punishment by the
family's ostracism may bring rude
or ndifferent-mannered little person
to terms sooner than anything else.
Emerson had little daughter, FL
len, who once told a lie. She was not
punished in the way that you or |
might think wise. All the children in
the family were brought together and
told that something very dreadful had
happened in their family; Ellen had
told a lie. They must not romp or
play or sing for Ellen had told a lie.
