childish impulses, but what will take
their place? One Of the ways in
which the grOwn-ups acquired that
feeling of righteousness In the pres
ence of childish misdeeds was through
the impressive indignation of their
parents on the occasions of their own
childish errors. 1t may be wrong for
Saffron to put so much stress upon
the wickedness Of truancy, but 1t is
just as wrong to evade the issue and
treat it like teething. as something
that will pass away was something
else to do besides whipping children;
Brown needed to learn that there was
something to do.
As we become more and more famil-
lar with the development of the child's
mind we realize that many of the
symptoms that are so alarming to 9TH
ers are In no way indications of de-
pravity. But there Is the danger that
In learning this we may become In
different to all symptoms. A child

quently from the sin of omission.
We must know not merely enough
to improve on the methods of revenge
and penalty; we must know enough to
evolve positive program of construc-
tive assistance to the child ut every
point at which his instincts conflict
with the requirements of the world to
which he must adjust himself.

practical wisdom to use IN possible
emergencies In the. future. But he did
not find the conflicting counsel very
helpful. Evildoers ought to be pun
ished, of course: otherwise there
would be no premium ON doing the
right thing. But II q child does what
we consider ''evir' without malice,
should he stiIl be made to suffer-es-
pecialIy when he is very likely to out
grow the instincts that lead to such
actsl
The trouble with Saffron was that
he had not taken the pains to think
out the right and wrong Of playing
truant. nor the right and wrong of
Furnishing children. He was just as
impulsive as the 'truant himself, with
this difference. Whereas the boy had
an uncomfortable feeling that he was
doing something that was wrong-be-
cause 1t was disapproved-the man had
the assurance that he was In the
right. for in the punishment of chill
dren he was countenanced by genera
tons Of parents and most of his con-
temporaries.
The trouble with Brown was that.
whereas he had learned enough to
know that the misdeeds of children
are In most cases the outward express
sions Of perfectly healthy instincts.
and not evidences of "wfckedness."
and whereas he knew that most chill
dren will outgrow these misdeeds, he
had no idea that there was anything
to be done about it except to permit
the fates to finish the story.
1t is well for all OF us to know
what Brown knew. But that Is not
enough. Children will outgrow their

A I THE club Jones was reading the
~ paper to himself and making COM
ments to all within hearing. Suddenly
he sat up and put down the paper.
WAS that Waite's boy" he asked,
that was mixed up in that affair
down at the lake" No one seemed to
know. Didn't even know there had
been an affair. In that case Jones had
to read to them. 1t was the story of
a boy who had gone over the edge Of
u pier and was pulled out by another
boy who happened to be passing. The
boy who happened to be passing
was young Bob. and he happened along
at time when he was supposed to
be In school. That was the point. Al
though no one denied that 1t was emil
nently proper for him to jump into the
water and save the ragged stranger,
all were agreed that he had no bust
ness there. He was obviously playing
-truant.
IF boy of mine did that" said
Saffron, "Td let him take all the
medals and fine speeches that were
coming to him. and after the celebra-
ton was all over l would take him
into the woOdshed and give him the
worst licking of his young life"
That sounded very heroic and very
reasonable. After all, it's wicked to
play truant. 1t was only a lucky
chance that the boy came along In
time to save the other child-perhaps
this one had been a truant also. The
chances were even that another time,
he'd got run over by a fire engine. The
boys place is In the school,, and he
had no business along the lake front.
He needed lesson that would teach
him his place.
p 1t -madet Saffron real angry to think
of son Of his committing an outrage
upon law and morals. And the things
he had in mind to do werewolf. they
were just the expressions of his anger.
They were not thought out policies of
applying force where 1t would do the
most good. They were the instructive
appeals to violence, and had just about |
as much moral value as Bob's own
dereliction.
And Brown, who had not been say
ing anything, could see that And so
he Joined the conversation. He would
not approve Of truancy. He knew 1t
was bad thing and liable to lead to |
worse things. But there's no use get |
