PARTNERS IN GUILT
BY DOROTHY DIX
The Worlds Highest Paid Woman Writer
Copyright, 1920, by the Wheeler Syndicate, Inc.)

HE Chinese. who are the most
logical people on earth, have
4 a comprehensive way of deal
ing out justice. When crime
is committed they not only punish
the wrong-doer but every one who
could, or should, have prevented it.
Thus, not long ago, in a report in
Shanghai newspaper of the court
proceedings, there was an account of
a crazy man, who had suddenly de-
veloped a homicidal mania and kill
ed two people. The maniac was pat
in an asylum and every member of
his family, even to remote cousins,
and the entire population of the viii
lage in which he lived, were fined be-
cause they knew the man to be men
tally unbalanced, yet had taken no
measure to protect the public against
him.
In another case a youth was con-
victed of having robbed his employer.
He was sent to Jail, and his father
sentenced to a severe f1ogging for
having reared a thief, and for hav-
ing neglected to 'instill the principles
of honor and honesty in his son.
We of the western world might
we'll adopt this Chin&4s system of
administering justice For no man
sins by himself alone; and we are
evil done by those about us.
No one will deny, for example, that
we are all accessory before the
crime Of the political corruption that
curses our country. We pay taxes
that should make every road in the
state a velvet-spread boulevard, and
every city Spotless Town. Then we
sit supinely down and watch road
commissioners and aldermen steal
millions, while we bump along over
the ruts and unmended highways,
and have our children sicken and die
of city fifth.
We make our politicians grafters
because we make it perfectly safe for
them to loot the public treasury. and
We are just as much their partners
leaves the door unlocked so that
burglars may come in and help them
selves to the family silver.
| We deserve to have to pay the
taxes under which we groan. We
deserve more. we deserve to serve a
men we have encouraged in their
thievery by our neglect of our duty
as citizens. For we could prevent
the plundering of the public funds
if we would take the trouble to do so.
In domestic life the Chinese sys-
ly makes the punishment fit the
crime, and fastens the guilt on the
real criminal. Because when man
or woman goes wrong, or fails IN
lire, nine times out or ten ne or she
parents fault. They are to blame
more than l."
I have never seen boy standing
in felon's dock without thinking that
his father and mother should be
standing beside him, and that they
are more responsible than he was.
They let him grow UP with an I'M
governed temper and in some moment
of rage he committed murder. Or
they never taught him to control his
appetite, or deny himself anything
he wanted, and so when he lacked
the money to indulge himself in what
he desired, he stole to get 1t.
The father was absorbed in BUSH
ness. The mother in society or clubs,
on the streets and learn his code Of
conduct from hoodlums. Neither fa-
Their or mother ever took the trou-
BILE to get acquainted with the boy,

NERVOUS CHILDREN
By H. AddingtOn Bruce

~HERE are many, many causes for nerv-
BUSINESS in children. But, parents
l. cannot be reminded too often or too
emphatically, the great cause is JnWlse train
ing in the home.
A child born quite free from neurotic faint
may readily be rendered nervous weakling
if the parents do not rear it right. And
nnumerable are the nervous weaklings whose
miseries and inefficiencies may justly be at
tributed to the way they have been brought
up.
"In the little life which the child leads, -
as the specialist Cameron rightly points out,
"a life in which the whole seems to us to be
comprised in dressing and undressing, wash.
ing, walking, eating, sleeping, and playing,
it is not easy to detect where the elements
of nervous overstrain are. Nor is it, as y
rule, in these things that the mischief is to
be found.
''It is in the personality of mother or
nurse, in her conduct to the child, in her ac-
lions and words, in the tone of her voice
when she addresses him, that we must seek
for the disturbing element.
1.-The mental environment Of the child is
created by the mother or the nurse. That is
her responsibility and her opportunity. TIE
conduct of the child must be the criterion of
her success.
eff things go wrong, if there is constant
crying or ungovernable temper, if sleep and
food are persistently refused, or if there is
undue timidity and fearfulness, there is dan
ger tnat seeds may be sOWn from which nerV-
Gus disorders will spring in the frture"
And:
"The conduct of the nervous child is de-
termined to a great extent by suggestions
derived from the grown-up people around
him.
Refusal of food, refusal of sleep, refusal
to go to stool, only become frequent or habit
ual when the childs conduct readily dis
tresses the nurse or mother, and when the
child fully appreciates the stir which he is
creating
All of which means, to put it in a. word.
that parents need to make as careful study
or the business Of child rearing as they make
OF the business of earning a livelihood for
themselves and their children.
Some parents do this-but comnarativa1v
few. That is why neurotics are to be found
all about us.
Most of those who fail to master child
nurture, as all should, fair not because of
lack or love for their children and interest
IN thelr future, but because they do not know
now to get the information they must have
Ior really effective training and safeguarding
of their children.
