TT is a very common belief that

TT is very common belief that
] whatever is instructive is also
useful. One of the best ex-
amples of the unsoundness Of this
belief is the wide prevalence of in
stinctive fears that are quite useless
to the children who suffer from
them.
With very rare exceptions, every
child experiences fear of various
kinds at many points in his develop
ment. Some of these fears are GER
tainly without value, such as fear of
thunder or of insects, or the fear of
darkness. At the same time it has
been argued that many, if not all, Of
these instructive fears were of value
to the ancestors of man in preserv-
ing him from dangers that no long
er beset those who dwell in civilized
communities.
rear May Be Acquired.
In addition to the instructive fears
of special objects or conditions, the
child may acquire fears as a result
of receiving shocks or frights. II
is curious that in frightening a child
we always appeal to his ignorance.
The DOGGY man" is Ar unknown be-
ing or force, something that is all
mystery. This shows US that the
feeling of fear has its chief source
in ignorance, and gives US the clew
to the determination of fear.
But do we desire to destroy fear?
Many parents find it an extremely
useful weapon in their struggle with
naughtiness or stubbornness. One
of the surest ways to make Jimmy
keep out of the attic is to tell him
that there are hobgoblins in it. Yet
in using the restraining power of
fear to prevent the child from carry
ing out his impulses. we may accom-
plish more than we intend. For the
child whose impulses are constantly
checked by the fear of unknown
spirits is likely in the end to be-
come quite passive, his initiative all
dried up.
AS a means of discipline, the APP
peal TO fear has another danger.

or insects, for example-if you
merely laugh at him for it. Neither
does it strengthen the bond of SYM
pathy between you. Since fears Of
this kind are the natural effect OF
the unknown upon the child, the
thing to do is to drive out the cause
of the fear, namely, ignorance.
Drive Away Causes.
Little Arthur caused his mother
much concern because he was afraid
of the dark, although he was such
a sensible child in many ways. The
mother finally cured her son of this
fear by very simple expedient. She
would send the boy into dark room
for box OF candy that was at the
further end. After a few visits of
this kind Arthur was sufficiently
familiar with the feel of the dark
room to be Indifferent to it. The
point of this device is that by fixing
the attention on the candy, the child
had no time to become frightened of
the darkness.
In general, to become familiar
with any object is to lose all fear of
it, as when children who are at first
afraid of the feel of fur, come to
love their dogs and cats, and thus
lose all fear of animals.
No Longer Afraid of Darkness.
Observers of children have noted

THE USES OF FEAR
Used as a Weapon by Unwse Parents in Correcting
Naughtiness, 1t May Cramp Chid's Soul
and lnjure Its Spirit

From the fear of the DOGGY" and
the "hobgoblin," there is but step
to the fear of the person who al
ways invokes the evil spirits. And
from the fear of his tormentor it is
a very short step to hatred. AS for
using fear to make children do
things, you will notice that it is only
for the forcing of disagreeable tasks
that we ever resort to fear; and then
it is not the fear of the unknown,
but the fear of certain punishment
that produces the result.
In this connection, however, il is
we'll for parents, and others who
have to deal with children, to re-
member that it is more important to
retain the confidence and affection
of children. than to get a particular
task done. But when you have the
confidence and affection you have
no need for fear when it comes to
doing the disagreeable task.
Fear Paralyzes.
On the other hand, the effect of
fear upon the child's own health and
spirit is far from desirable. Fear
always cramps the body and shrivels
the soul; it never broadens or stimu-
lates. Try the experiment by stand
ing erect with shoulders and arms
thrown back, and imagine yourself
afraid of your pet terror. Or crouch
down in a corner and imagine your
self bravely facing real danger.
Bravery stimulates; fear paralyzes.
Although many parents readily
enough resort to fear as a weapon in
their dealings with the children, they
all find the instructive fears OF the
children a nuisance, and seek to dis
pei them-usually by means of ridi-
cule. Now, it does not help a child
to get rid of his fear-of darkness,
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1914-06-26

that in recent times children are in
general less afraid of darkness and
other natural rights" than they
were in former years. The reason
for this difference is, no doubt, to be
found in the fact that people do not
so frequently brighten children with
tales of weird inhabitants of the
dark, nor do we startle the children
so much lust for fun This niarks
a real advance in practical intelli-
gence, for Investigations have shown
that many nervous disorders can be
traced back to rights or shocks re-
ceived during the childhood of the
victims.
1t is thus better to explain to a
child the meaning of thunder, than
to use the thunder for intimidating
the child into obedience, or into "be-
ing good" "A shadow is something
to understand, not something to
browbeat child with. A dragon
fly is something to admire--or to
ignore; it is certainly not something
to drive a child into mysteries for
fear that it will sew up the earl"
We recognize, of course, tlat
there are many real dangers of
which the child should know, ard
against which he should be fortified.
But teaching caution is something
different from using fear.

Important Part These Play
and Rules that Govern
Preparation.

Ool now 10 pIcpdlC ITO" 'Se
j etables for the nursery table is
an important subject at this
time OF year. Too often a child's
vegetable diet is limited through ig-
norance on the part OF the young
mother as to the essential part veg
etables take in the proper balancing
of the little ones food. Even ba-
bies between two and three years
old can safely be given small por-
tons of almost all the best liked
fresh vegetables, provided the nurse
or mother understands a few sim
pie rules which are laid down by
all the best authorities on children's
diet.
Thorough Cooking Necessary.
Thorough cooking is absolutely ne
cessary in the case of all vegetables
to be served to a young child, for
to be easily digestible the vegetable
must be soft enough to be mashed
easily with a fork. Forcing any
thoroughly cooked vegetable through
sieve and serving the resulting
PURGE, moistened with little cream,
is one of the best forms of varying
a childs diet. An attractive ar
rangement is to make a little mound
Of the vegetable PURGE, fatten it
slightly and lay on it whatever NOR
sci of meat, fish or egg is to consti-
tute the little ones meal.
A delicately poached egg served
on a bed of spinach PURGE is good
combination, and bits of breast of
chicken laid on a bed Of asparagus
PURGE is another favorite. Peas, po-
tatoes, string beans, spinach and as
paragus tips, in this easily digested
form, can safely be introduced
into a childs dietary at an early age.
Bcets, carrots and onions should be
left until after the sixth year.
On the Prohibited List.
The prohibited vegetables should
be known to all who have anything
to do with regulating a childs food.
On this list go green corn, cab
bage, eggplant and all uncooked
vegetables, which, in solid form, arc
so valuable a part Of the menu Of an
adult. A child should never be al
lowed to eat radishes, cucumbers,
raw tomatoes or lettuce.
The long list Of cream of vegeta-
bic soups offer many suggestions for
serving small quantities Of fresh veg
etables on the nursery table. The
basis for these soups are the purees
Just described, thinned with milk.
This is an excellent way OF familiar
izing a child with the flavor Of diff
ferent vegetables and also IS con-
venient form of serving milk to a
child who dislikes to drink it. The
little one who does not care for
cereal and cream as breakfast dish |
often will relish the same cereal if
cooked in milk and served as
vegetable at the MONDAY meal.
Arrangement of Food.
Where a child is old enough to .
have two vegetables served in adj
dition to potato the arrangement of
the food on the plate is. often an in
centive to good table manners.
