FEEDING VS.. HEREDlTY.

A clergyman disagrees with
the statement of Bishop FaIlows
quoted recently, "You can make
a boy good or bad according to
the way you feed him." and
asks why if it is correct, two
boys fed at the same table from
infancy will be so very different
in disposition. The factor of
heredity cannot be eliminated
in single generation by educa-
ton nor by ideal feeding, as
recognized in the Biblical state
nent, "The parents ate sour
grapes and the children's teeth
are set on edge" A reader Of
these hints at Berkeley, CAL, in
forms the writer that she has
an excellent illustration In her
family, the two youngest Of
whom are much less irritable,
less capricious in appetite and
generally more tractabIe as we'll
as more healthy, as a direct re-
suit of her improved diet and
hygienic habits generally. Dr..
Oliver Wendell Holmes under
stood the Importance of heredity
when he said that we should BE-
gin with the grandparents. A
child must be fed before it is
born. And this is not ignoring
the Importance of spiritual in
fluences, which also should be
considered in heredity.

Christmas. That is for you to do--to see
to 1t that there is something else to put
into the place left vacant by the passing
of the Yuletide. 1t need not be anything
big or important so long as It is interesting.
Little social festivities will help fill the
holidays and there may be plans for play
or interesting work to come when the va
cation is ended. A child takes short views
and It is too much to ask him to seek for

the festival that is just ended
Your past Christmases have done you
little good If they have not assisted you to
be on the alert for methods IN which to get
the best out of the day in some other way
than temporary enjoyment As 1t recedes
from you 1t becomes haloed with the kindly
memory which surrounds all past pleasant
experiences and you are prone to forget
the blunders you have made, the errors you
have perpetrated, and to be entirely ready
to commit them again next year.
While the Christmas reaction lasts 10
tabulate them that you may the better
find means for keeping out of similar I'M
pleasant conditions in the future. Sit down
and think them over when they are fresh
in your recollection.

AM in receipt of numerous letters deal
ing with Corporal Punishment"
which was debated warmly in our de-
partment a matter of three months ago.
Some of these communications are too
long for insertion. Some are too good to
be condemned to the limbo Of the waste
basket. Our readers have not forgotten
Ehe letter from an English form woman
who related the particulars of a whipping
inflicted upon her for lying and stealing
when she was 10 years of age. We have
had protests and adverse comments with
Out number with regard to the graphic tale.
Mothers and daughters will not object to
the surrender Of sufficient of our space to-
day to contribution from one especially
well qualified to pronounce upon the ques-
tion OF a. PARENTS right to' chastlse child
in the circumstances and to explain the
grounds Of his convictions.
=" AS a physician, will you allow me to say
q word or two with regard to the debate
upon corporal punishment that has been
held in your Corner Of our family journal?
In the first place. what self-respecting
not to say decent-man or woman would
whip a 10 year old daughter, and what girl
of that age would suffer herself willingly
to be punished In that manner? And If she
would, could she ever afterward have any
vestige Of respect for a father who could
thing is ridiculous to the American reader.
don't like to doubt the word of any one,
but am forced to suspect that our Mil
waukee correspondent either wished to
make sensation or that her memory is at
fault.
Every girl or woman over IA years of
age knows Of the delicate organs she pos
sesses and how easily they may be excited
and injured. Just imagine giving a severe
whipping to a grown-up lady, whether
1t be spanking with g. strap. or a switch
ing, or beating over the shoulders with a
horsewhipl Such an inhuman punishment
would seriously affect certain exquisitely
sensitive organs in said lady to an alarm
Ing degree, besides hurting her morally
and taking away much of her self-respect
II such punishment were inflicted 1t was by
force and by a semi-barbarous parent.
People may talk of family government
IN the days of our cody grandmothers but
not one-tenth of the stories told of dis
cipline (Which meant punishment Of those
times are true.
Now, am not saying anything against
spanking young children. Let the mother
or father once in a while spank the young
sters with the palm of the hand. or the slip
