were, up to that time, quite as I'M
conscious as l.
This woman had asked my mo-
Their to drive with her to the home of
friend in a neighboring town, where
the two were invited to spend the
night. My mother declined, on the
ground that 1, at that time about
nine, could only comb my hair and
pin my collar properly for school in
the morning, and as we then had no
maid, and my father could at best
only have buttoned my frock, the OBJ
lection seemed unsurmountable.
But the family friend called me
by the ugly title of naughty, selfish
little girl. And she chided mother
for allowing me to monopolize her
time, contending that she was max
ing me selfish and dependent.
Perhaps she was. But l protest
that it could hardly have been other
wise, considering that she had in full
measure the world-old desire of mo-
theirs to spend themselves for their
children, and only one child to spend
herself on.
ct had not occurred to my moth
er, l am confident, that her habit of
ministering to me constantly was
pampering. Nor had l, in going to
her for services which 1 might have
easily learntd to perform for myself,
made demands in the manner of the
arrogant, spoiled child"
Do you want your child, in later
life, to feel obliged thus to make ex-
cuses for you?
There is a middle path between
elect and idolatry, path with COM
mon sense as it's guide post. Only by
taking this path can safety and sue
cess in child-rearing be assured.

Don t IdOIize Children.

Many parents need to be reminded
that it is almost as dangerous to be
over-attentive to children as it is to
neglect them.
The neglected child, stunted physi-
cally and mentally, is always likely
to develop into a dead weight on So
ciety-an incompetent, if not a GRIM
inal.
The child whose parents have paid
him too much attention is also, if in
other ways, likely to turn out badly.
Children ver-affectionately cared
for in early life usually develop"ner-
ves' in manhood and womanhood.
At best they tend to be afflicted with
serious defects of character.
They are likely to be lacking in
the spirit of initiative. This is a
logical result of the mistaken pa
rental policy of doing everything for
them, instead of teaching and accus-
toming them to do things for them
selves.
Also they are likely to be conceit-
ed, their parents unreflective devo-
ton to them having filed them with
undue ideas of their Importance
| And, most of all, they are almost
certain to be colossally selfish. By
never requiring sacrifices of them,b
yielding to their every whim, the pa
rents have unconsciously trained
them to think of themselves first,
last, and all the time.
! The idolizing of children thus
makes for a bitter harvest in later
years. And, to increase the bitter
ness of the harvest, the children
whose characters have been spoiled
by over-altention sometimes appre-
ciate their defects and appreciate al
so the part played by their idolatrous
parents in creating these defects.
Then resentment is felt, though
pehaps overborne by filial desire to
make excuses for the parents mis-
takes. AS in these striking auto
biographical statements by the dau-
ghter Of a mother who had loved her
only child with unwise ardcr:
"Of the selfishness of which a
frank woman accused me, my parents
