people, and 1t Is very true that colds

Now in a day nursery they have
neither the time nor the equipment
to reason with their small charges,
as perhaps they might do in an ex-

method for a child with the 'pouts"
is very simple. He is separated from
his companions, usually by the
process OF being made to stand in

stop until his performance Is
