THE OPPONENTS OF SPANKING.

obedience means. Some children mind
readily, while others are stubborn. The
fault with disobedient children lies more
with the parents than with the children.
Spanking and whipping have nothing
to do with it. II one begins right when
the children are small there is scarcely
ever any necessity for spanking after
they are 6 years old. Most mothers whip
unnecessarily and without good cause
anu mostly when angered have seen
plenty of mothers that / We lid rather

character and isposition of each child

whipSher child? I say mother, for
don't approve of fathers whipping the
children at all! One should not whip
for trifiing causes. A few of the rea-
sons for such punishment that I should

outright disobedience. Yes, 1 believe in
whipping If it is necessary, but start

said last week, the advocates of this
form of enlistment have been much in

cant fact to me that SO few mothers
and educators are opposed to the use
of the rod or the slipper:
