TRAINING AND DISCIPLINE FOR
 CHILDREN.

Dear Social Corner Editor and Friends: I wish to acknowledge and say Thank you!s for yellow paper which came duly to hand. A few more words about the training and discipline of our children may be appreciated, as it is certainly a problem these times.
 Lack of discipline is an American weakness.
 A child's training begins during his first week, and unless he has learned the meaning of discipline at home, where it is kindly meant, 1t goes hard with him by the time he gets out into the world; for wherever he is he must stand the consequences of his acts. This is the keynote of disciplines
 A child's naughtiness is punished be- cause if it is allowed to go on he will not be happy himself and he will be the cause of unhappiness in others. just as later in life he will be re- warded at least with a happy con- science if he does right, or will be punished if he does wrong.
 From the very first a baby who is picked up every time he cries recog- nizes 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.
 I do not mean that he should never be taken up and held, for I believe parents should enjoy their babies, es- pecially after they are old enough to take notice of their surroundings but there is a happy medium. If we play with the baby a little before his feed ings, or during his afternoon recreation hour, he will become accustomed to being taken up and laid down as we wish, and it will never occur to him to expect 1t at any other time
 There are several particularly tryine periods in a child's training. One Of them is at eight or nine months. when he is emphatically insistent upon hav- ing his own way. He has really just discovered that he is an individual with a will. He wants something or the table and grabs for it. Mother takes it away from him and the same performance is repeated until there is nothing left. Then he cries unti mother gives back the desired obiect In order to keep him quiet. What mother should have done is to put UT her finger and say 'No!" If after this he tries H again, as he is very liable to do. his chair should be turned bacl to the table, so that he may know hi. nssbehavior has been punished. It i, wonderful how soon he learns to stol when told to do SO, for we are apt tt underestimate his intelligence greatly
 D1sciplining should always be don, In as pleasant a manner as possible Or course everyone knows that a spiri
