TRAINING
YOUR CHILD
BY MRS. McCUNE.

KVTl ANY of the pioneer grandmoth-
NAh ers possessed of wonderful
u hearts and heads were yet
forced to fight out the prob

themselves and theirs alongside OF
their husbands. They learned yery
quickly that if horse is soft In the
mouth" the worst thing you can ae IS
to pull on the bit constantly, -
their ideas Of raising" their own ef;'
dren is best epitomized in the faYuilial'
order OF the mother to the nurse. Go
out and see what Johnny is doing and
Whatever he is doing tell him to stop"
Inc evil results In the case OF the
morse were direct and easily tracea Bile
IN the case of the sensitive child this
constant pulling on the bit" workad
a more subtle and far reaching rnin
We "ouIo py no means decry whole
M sGde me methods employed by our
grandmothers in training many Of the

merely proIonging life, is expected tc

also tells us we must become as little

Undoubtedly the reason this method

this laziness may stop with the voter

case Of the mother 1t may amount to
criminal negligence toward the child.
