AMERICAN CHILDREN DO NOT
MIND As WELL AS FOREIGNERS

DR.. Roger II. bennett. a specialist
in the disease OF children in New
York City. Is writing an interesting
series of articles in the Woman's
Home Companion on the daily rou-
tine. habits and discipline OF chill
dren. In an article on The Healthy
Baby" he says In part:
Lack of discipline is an American
weakness. You cannot imagine the
humiliation with which | have listen
ed to foreign-born mothers of my
charity patients say. But he Is like
the American child, he does not mind
"A child's training begins during
the first week of his life; and, un-
less he has learned the meaning Of
discipline at home where II is kindly
meant. It goes hard with him by the
time he gets out into the world. A
childs naughtiness is punished be-
cause II II is allowed to 20 on he
will not be happy himself. and he will
be the cause of unhappiness in
others.
From the very first a baby who is
picked up every time he cries rec
ognizes the lack of discipline. He
cries TO attract attention; It is about
the only thing he knows how TO do.
He is held more and more each day
until he ruins his health by lack of
sleep and too much handling. and
spoils the pleasure OF his parents.

DOES IT WORK A HARDSHIP

As the weeks go by sentiment
seems to be increasing in opposition
to the recent act of Congress requir-
ing newspapers to report their cir
culation, the owners of their stock,
and call a spade a spade that is,
when they run an item in the form Ct
news or an editorial and get paid for
1t to mark 1t as an ad.
SO far. however. the only persons
who raise any objection seem not to
be the people, but the owners Of the
big papers, and this may lead the
public to believe that after all the
law is a just one, for the public has
a way of thinking that people who
have nothing to hide do not care tor
publicity or the regulation of their
business, and, when any business is in
clned to be secretive, they are just
a little bit inclined to suspect it.
Certain papers in Kentucky are
berating the law, and calling for its
repeal. Why, we wonder? What harm
can there be to any paper in letting
il be known who owns its stock, I'M
less it is controlled by some interest
that seeks not the country's welfare.
but to exploit an idea or a sentiment
mercenarily? And why should a paper
object to calling an ad. an ad?
Most people would think that these
things would be in the line of good
policy. and il would not need law to
induce publishers of papers to con-
form to 1t.
