BY FRANCES ENGLAND.

II TITLE Sally Fisher, aged five. in
her home in the Vermont hills,
is helping her mother demon
strate TO a world of autocratic seven
teenth century parents that children
are human beings and should be re-
spected. In addition to being Sally's
mother, Mrs. Dorothy Garfield Fisher
is a Phi. B. and Ph. D., mistress of six
languages, author of seven books and
the mother of Jim, aged fourteen
months. But all of her years of study
and travel didn't teach Mrs. Fisher as
much about children as Sally and
Jimmie have. Her year in Rome help
ing Nine. Montessori at the Casa di
Bambini and translating Nine. Montes-
SORTS book helped her in formulating
the ideas she sets forth in her last
book, Mothers and Children
81 do not believs in the divine right
of parents any more than believe in
the divine right of kings" Mrs. Fisher
explained, smiling. She had just come
in from the country TO visit her
mother, and it was in Mrs. Canfeld's
studio, at 1947 Broadway, that ! found
her. Her mother, by the way, is an
artist Of recognized ability, and it was
in her Paris studio that Mrs. Fisher as
a child picked up French. her second
mother tongue. But to get back to the
subject of autocratic parents.
Living in modern America, we can
not color the moral atmosphere about
our children with the tradition of sub
mission to personal authority MIS-
Fisher continued. "The very founda-
tion of all our American institutions is
compounded equally OF a fixed belief
that every one can, on the whole. run
his life better than any one else can
run it for him, and Of an intense reac-
tion from the habit of reliance upon
external authority. And we must not
forget that our children breathe this
heady air of self-independence from
the day of their birth"
The old-fashioned system of our
reat-grandmothers, who ruled their
children with the rod and forced them
to unquestioning obedience, is as cnde-
srable in a democratic country as the
Russian system of government. "We
twentieth century people know well
enough in our heart of hearts" Mrs.
Fisher declared, that to do anything
solely because mother says So is to
perform an unreasonable act, and that
every time a child who has attained
any capacity to reason yields thus to
what is made to appear to him solely
the will of another, a constructive
bandage about his reason has been
frightened, and the possibility for
healthy growth has been lessened."
And so little Sally in the old farm
house on the side Of one of the Green
Mountains is given a reason for every
thing her parents request her to do.
When she protests against the morning
dash of cold water on her throat and
chest her mother says briskly: "Well,
but you know it keeps you from having
sore thrOats and colds, Sally, dear. So
come along quickly and let's have it
over with" And Sally, who is, Of
course, an unusually reasonable little
girl, complies.
"Some of my friends have wondered
what Sally would do in an emergency
when there wasn't time to explain to
New-York tribune., 1915-03-23

her why she should do what she was
told. But, as a matter Of fact, il you
form the habit Of explaining to a child
the reasons for his obedience, if you
say to him that he must not eat candy
between meals, not because his father
says he must not, but because it will
make him sick; if you will explain to

him that he must go to bed carly, not
because his mother has an eccentric
desire that he should, but because it is
necessary for his healthy growth, it
will be found that he will be much
more quick and sure to respond to the
sudden unexplained shout of command
in a moment of real danger"
"Why? Why? Why"
zone day when we were out motor
ing and left the machine to go down
to a spring, we encountered a swarm
of yellow jackets" Sally's mother
paused to laugh at the remembrance.
Zone of Sally's aunts pointed IN the
direction Of the machine and said,
Run, Sally, rum and Sally turned and
fed as fast as she could go. yelling at
the top of her voice, Why? Why?
Why But the important thing IL that
she obeyed like a fash" Mrs. Fisher
added.
She then went on to say that the
child's questions are tiresome and do
require time, but it all comes il the
business of being a mother. "Wc owe
a debt to our children" she declared.
Having brought them into the world,
we parents owe it to them to furnish
them a happy, free life of physical
health, cheerful industry, intellectual
growth and moral dignity.
Need of Professional Question An
swerer TO Children.
"Some day." she smiled, "a young
woman with a fresh eye for the oppor-
tunities of life will open an office,
hang out a shingle, Professional Ques-
tion Answerer to Children and she
will make her fortune. Everybody IS
too much occupied, it seems, to answer
the children's questions, and really,
there is considerable excuse for this
attitude. In the child's voracious a9pe-
tite for information there is something
almost terrifying to the dulled adult
acquiescence in ignorance. To minis
ter properly to the mental hunger Of
our children there is need of profess

a very important part Of his life away
from his home and his mother The
home has become a meeting place-no
longer a place where the family lives
together.
"The new order of things will not
mean that all women will do other
work than care for little children"
Mrs. Fisher continued. Some one
must do this.
"If society ordains that children
shall leave the amateur home for the
professional school, why should not the
mothers travel there after them? why
in the world should there be taclt
understanding in America that teacher
means a chldless spinster? why
should not the real born mothers be-
come teachers? Those of US who have
a passion for maternity should devote
ourselves even more to children than
we do now under the present narrowly
parochial system of confining our et-
forts to the children of our own family.

organized there in 1908 when Mr..

collectively, into contact with the

How many schools have parents as
sociations, and what are they doing?
The East Side Forum, at Public
School 50, Hester and Essex Streets,
is in the midst of the most thickly
populated square mile in the United
States.
The Forum is the embodiment of the
social centre, or citizenship centre,
idea. The people of the neighborhood
take part in it's management, inviting
city officials whom they wish to hear,
and often presenting directly facts
about their neghboshood which they
believe these officials ought to know.
"Do the people really come to the
meetings ?" | asked Carl Beck, the sec
retary of the Forum. He laughed.

met. 1t is giving to a large group op-
