just laughs at us when we want him
10 do things. This morning l wanted
him TO go uptown with me and he
laughed saying he didn't want to.
Finally coaXing him u long time I
had to go Oft without him. How
can l get him out of this habit"
Your little son unfortunately has
been allowed to get the idea from
someone that it is clever to disobey.
1t is absolutely essential to see that
he receives no further impressions
in this direction.
After definitely deciding yoL want
him to do a certain thing, do not ask
him If he wants to at all. For en-
ample, if you are going to town,
simply make preparacio to go.
Let him see that you "are getting
ready and announce to him before
going to town this morning; you can
play a little while and l shall tell
you when L am ready" >sS
Do not start to offer any reasons
why he should want to go; simply
assume he is going. If he should
offer any objections, do not make
any reply to them at all. find many
parents are inclined to weaken at
this point. They start to arguing
the case. But this Is wrong from
the standpoint of securing obedi-
ence.
You cannot get a child to obey
you in really satisfactory way un-
less he is friendly. Therefore, pay
special attention to gaining and
keeping the good will of the child
Your firm attitude of expectancy
then viii have greater effect.

way into a small room at the rear
of the parlor.
The girl stopped at the head of
the stairs and looked back. AS she
did so Mrs. Chaplin paused in the
door of the kitchen. Their eyes
met and the matron smiled reas-
suringly.
Never mind, dearie," she said,
softly. You get ready for supper

Just a little cranky, but let the
men talk it out between them.

n n a train not long ago, man
~ and his wife were entertain
ing some other passengers
with a tin cup and their baby which
perhaps was about a year old.
After giving the child a drink, the
cup was set on the window sill. Lit
tie Jimmy" soon managed to knock
1t off. OF course, it made a splendid
noise. The young father picked it
up and at the same time advised
Jimmy that he shouldn't have done
it. But Jimmy must have misunder-
stood because in moment we again
heard the beautiful vibration of the
tin cup.
Then something happened. The
mother noticed that other passeng-
ers were amused-supposedly at the
cute and unusually clever child
and of course she, too. thought it
was quite a stunt for the child to
manage to get the tin when the faith
er was trying to keep it out of reach.
The baby laughed with glee on see
ing the mother smile and the father
also caught the spirit and so the
cup fell on the floor about every
twelve telegraph poles" for the next
few minutes.
The end of the story is more in
IeFeSIlnS. Inc IdtneT Suuuenly pS-
came very stern and tried to hold
Jimmy. But Jimmy squealed and
| began to strike at his father, ruff
| fling up his hair. This of course was
followed quite naturally by spank
ing thus ending the scene with a
crying spell.
That incident was amusing-and
yet, in a sense, it was tragedy
| This child in effect was given a most
| impressive lesson in disobedience.
! In the future he will receive many
whippings intended to teach him
| obedience, but all the whippings put
! together will not counteract the ef-
! feet of a few such lessons as that
described.
Laughing at disobedience is a
crime.
Many persons have pointed the
| finger of shame at youth or young
man having committed some crime
who were themselves partially re-
| sponsible without knowing it. Child
| training is not such a haphazard sort
of thing after all.
One child through inheritance may
be harder to control than another
but wise training will count.
So many cases come to my atten-
| ton in which the child has the habit
of laughing when spoken to.
For example, one mother writes
to me:

REGRETS HER ATTITUDE

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:

great deal of me and asked me if

as my friend is alone and l realize a
letter from me now and then i'll a
crisis like the present war would
mean much to him.
Now. Miss Fairfax, the difficulty
is l do not know what ship he is on, or
where to address his letter, having
lost the address he gave me. Could
you advise where l might find his ad-

addresses published or any similar
source of information? Thanking you,
