u BEDIENCE First" is an excel
lent motto in training chill
dren. And yet, how compara-
lively few parents are able to secure
absolute obedience!
Why is this? Is it due to lack of
knowledge or simply failure to ap-
ply knowledge already acquired? Or
is it, perhaps, both?
Let us take an example. A mother
writes me:
This morning our boy, aged three.
started the electric toaster as is his
custom. He usually takes the bread
off the toaster also, but as the toast
was burning his father took off one
piece. Result-one dreadful howl.
We gave it to him to put in again to
pacify him; down on the floor he
threw it. His father took him into
the living room and talked to him
but nothing would appease him; he
howled and howled. Then l took
him upstairs and tried to hold him
in bed as punishment until we both
were exhausted. Please tell me what
to do as l am almost sick over it."
The outstanding point in the an
alysis of your case is the fact that
you have given this boy entirely too
much attention at wrong times For
example, when, your husband took
off the burnt piece of toast, and the
boy set up a howl, you certainly
looked upon it as an undesirable
thing for a child to do-and it was
decidedly so. Then, in order not
to encourage the very same kind of
action in the future you should not
have rewarded him for his conduct.
BY giving the toast to the child to
put in again, he virtually was re-
warded. And scarcely anything worse
could have been done!
The fact that this boy threw the
toast on the floor after you offered
| il to him indicates that he probably
I has discovered on previous occasions
that he can make you serve. He finds
a certain pleasure in getting others
to go clear out of their way to cater
to his slightest whims. If wrong
methods are continued, this boy later
will be compelled to get some very
hard lessons in the world.
He will cause you endless trouble
unless you start in at once to teach
him that bowling or screaming gets
him absolutely nothing. Don't even
talk to him when he begins to cry.
much less try to do anything with
him. Simply pay no attention to
him.

(Coptinued.)

(Coptinued.D
In this way, the second year of
the war found the German people
with their faith in their leaders
comparatively unshaken. Disasters
had been so skilfu!ly concealed or
minimized and victories had been
so widely circulated and magnified
that the people We're, if possible,
more solidly behind the war and
keener for it's vigorous prosecution
in 1916 than they We're when it
started two years before.
On May Day. 1916, the Socialist
Liebknecht addressed a crowd in
the Potsdamer Platz and his dia-
tribes against the Kaiser were so
distasteful even to his own support
ers that they unanimously turned
against him when he was arrested.
The criticism was made that as he
was member of the Reichstag it
was undignified for him to speak
openly against the government from
barrel in the public square, and
many Socialists with whom l after
wards talked, said his arrest served
him right.
Then Schneidman became the
most conspicuous Socialist in the
public eye, but he has developed into
a most conservative advocate of So
cialistic principles, and, indeed, the
whole party has been torn to pieces
by dissensions and internal differ
ences. The Socialists were never
less of problem to the government
than during the early years of the
war.
When, however, the food shortage
began to grow to serious proper
tions and the people We're put on
such meager rations that the pangs
of hunger and the ravages of dis
ease became a constant reminder of
the war and its consequences. a
spirit of unrest became noticeable.
No one seemed to care very much
that the war which was to be over
by Christmas, 1914, was still Very
far from over by Christmas, 1916,
so long as everyone had plenty to
| eat and the German cause was
