THE HANDICAP OF DocILlTY.

A docile child is wonderfully charming thing, and usually source of pride to it's parents, and envy to the parents of more turbulent young sters. Praise and betting are two great needs of childhood Children crave them passionately, and can se- cure them more easily and abundant ly by docility than in any other way That more children are not docile, therefore, is simply because they can- not be. They really want to be good" but their developing person alities break the barriers of even the most loving restrictions, literally in spite of themselves. Many disobe- dience is absolutely unavoidable.
 But there are some children-not many, but some-who do not strain the limits set by authority They do what they are told, do not interfere with the plans of their elders, and seldom break out in unseemly pranks or inexplicable rebellions.
 This may mean merely that the child has not normally large or ac- tive mentality. But sometimes it means that in addition to the usual impulses of childhood it possesses a large streak of docility-that is, the impulse to submit. Opposition to the wills of fothers is even more difficult and painful to it than the repression of it's own instincts and desires.
 Such a child is fearfully hand icap- pd.
 If it grows up in a good environ ment, it may find little reason during adolescence for serious rebellion, and impossible to it. Even silent diver gences from the path approved by those nearest it will be painful. If it's desires point in other directions, it will learn to stifle them. It is aston ishing how children with big bumps of approbativeness can and do hold themselves in, with only silent, long ing glances at the things for which their deepest instincts are crying.
 And when they are grown men and women, they may spend the best years of their lives. perhaps all of them, patiently trying to fit themselves to the inches in which somebody else placed them or is holding them. Sometimes such sacrifice may be the height of nobility; more often it is the height of folly.
 How many men there are working at the wrong jobs, how many women living beside the wrong men, how many human beings handicapped all their lives because they were cursed with the paralyzing virtue of docility, nobody knows; not even the victims themselves.
 But the child who is not docile- who cannot help breaking every bond that would restrain his healthy devel- opment along the lines of his natural tendencies-will grow into the man who will not stay in the wrong niche if he is put there.
 So even if our children break few bonds that they do not need to, let us thank God that they are not docile.
