A Young Iowa farmer rented eighty-acre farm

WHAT DISCIPLINE MEANS
by n. ARLINGTON BRUCE.

Administered in this spirit, punishment does
have a disciplinary value
And for some children, corporal punishment is
perhaps the surest mode of quicken1ng moral dis
elimination after wrongdong.
But other chldren-most children-can bet
ter he punished by non-cOrporal methods, such
deprivation of pleasure, sending the child
to bed, etc.
Corporal punishment usually is undesirable
if only because il stimulates so intensely the in
stnct of fear. Over-stimulation of this instinct
is fraught with grave danger to the future of any
child.
Still. as Just said there are children for whom
corporal punishment seems to be the one sure mode
of appeal Parents will have to decide whether
this applies to their own children.
One thing they should remember, though II
they do decide that they have to beat their chill
dren to make them good this means one of two
things.
Either their children of an inferior type,
or else the parents incapable OF managing
them as they should.
The great ideal, of course, is so to awaken in
a child a desire to do right that occasions for pun
ishment shall be few and far between. 1t is this
larger meaning that We should give to the term
discipline
Every influence with which a child can be sur
rounded so as to develop in him sef-control aud
seIf-direction is a disciplinary influence. The pa
rental example, the parental love, the appeal to
instincts other than fear, all these are OF impor-
lance as methods of discipline.
Moreover they are of supreme Importance.
For they are not merely corrective-they are pre-
ventive methods And in child training, in
everything else, an ounce of prevention is worth
many pounds of cure.

Atlanta semi-weekly journal. (Atlanta, Ga.) 1898-1920, 1916-09-01

HAVE been asked by a California reader to
say something about the subject of disciplin-
l. ing young children I gladly do So espc-
cially as certain phrases in the letter making this
request remind that many people have some
what faulty notion of what discipline means.
Discipline is we'll defined by that noted edu-
Gator DR.. NJ. p. E. Groszmann, when he says:
Discipline is that force which tends to de-
velop in an individual an amount of sef-control
and selfdirection sufficient for right living gen.
orally"
Observe that DR.. Groszmann does not identify
discipline with punishment But this is the identi-
fication many of make.
We think that disciplining child only
when we punish him for some fault committed
To intensity this error some of us limit the
idea of punishment to corporal punishment, ad-
mnistered in a savage retaliatory spirit.
Punishment of any kind thus administered is
quite without disciplinary value. III the child Is
to profit from punishment he must be made to I'M
derstand exactly why he is being punished.
Otherwise he is likely to submit to the pun
ishment in much the mood of the small boy whose
father asked him:
DO you know why whipping you?'
Yes SIR the youngster replied. Because
you are bigger than l am"
1t is in fact questionable whether corporal
punishment is wise Authorities diner on
this point Personally think a good deal depends
. on the psychic makeup OF the ndlvloual chhd
The object of punishment should always and
only be to associate unpleasant consequence
with specific act failure to act, and to de-
velop in the child discriminating appreciation
of right and wrong.

Greece Next.

The diplomatic effect of Rumania's entry into
cision of Greece Favorable to the Entente from
the outset Greek sentiment has been restrained by
King Constantines German sympathies and also
by prudent fear of a smashing invasion such as
befell Serbia. But the latest turn of events is
likely to overcome these influences
So long the Teutons held the initiative. the
king had plausible reasons for his policy; he was
simply trying to save his country from the fate
which had overtaken each of the smaller nations
that cast their lot with the Allies But this pro-
fession carries weight when Austria is driven to
a desperate defense by the Russians and the Ital-
ians, when Germany needs her utmost strength to
resist the French and British in the west when an
allied army of upwards of seven hundred thousand
men is driving north from Saloniki and when, on
top of all these developments Rumana, the pivotal
State of the Balkans, filings her military and eco
nomic resources against the Central Empires
Venizelos, the leading Hellenic statesman. who
from the beginning of the urged active support
of the Allied cause, appears to be as strong as
ever with the people. Time has justified his
warning that unless Greece Joined the Allies she
would be menaced by Bulgaria and would forfeit
her richest opportunity for national expansion
Bulgarian troops overrunning Greek terri
year or more ago have been withdrawn If Greece
is to safeguard her interests and achieve any of her
cherished aspirations she must move promptly
Rumania's example may be expected to stir her to
decisive action.

Why the ProgreSSipeS
Should Support Wilson

The platform adopted by the Progressive
party in 1912, read in the light OF the per-
formances of the Wilson administration, shows
that Woodrow Wilson has carried out more
pledges of the Progressive party than that
party itself probably could have done had It
been successful in 1912"
There is more truth than politics in these
words from a recent speech by Secretary Daniels
at Belfast Maine. Had Mr.. Roosevelt been selected
President in 1912 he would have tried with his
usual buster, OF course. to ram through a program
Of social-justice legislation. But with Congress
