that SMALL BOY
Just a Word or Two Said Here
IN His Defense.
Pennsylvania Educator Issues w,r,in,
to Mothers Of Danger Of Errors
in Training Methods.

Some Interesting facts concerning
proper treatment of children were
brought out in an address at the Moth
ers club recently by ]. George Becht.
hrst deputy state superintendent of
pubic instruction, the PHILADELPHIA
Record states. In talk on Youth
It's characteristics and Training" he
defended the small boy" who. he
held, was blamed for much of which
he was not guilty. Children between
the age of five and seven and twelve
ana fourteen especially, as a rule he
SAID, were going through process of
development which was abnormal and
In which the mind did not keep apace
with the body. This lack of co-ordina-
ton in the child's system resulted
In awkwardneSs, forgetfulness, etc,
and as result, boys especially.
going through the awkward age"
were not treated with too much con-
sideration.
The speaker criticized the mothers
who are always nagging their bows
and charging them with Incidence. for
getfulnesS, etc, when I'm reality the
youngsters should be kindly treated
and given sympathy. He said
mother, through lack of knowledge.
was often cruel to children, while she
felt that she was over indulgent. In
this connection he specially referred to
the blame given boys because they
forget to come in in time. or some
other such trihe What was very much
worse, he said, and very common, was
a desire to catch the boy in his error,
and to corner him to explain It. which
was responsible for the DEVELOPMENT
of sneaks and liars. A boy should
not be treated like law-breaker, he
said, because he was slightly dere-
lict, neither should a mother use the
same method as policeman
The speaker said that now more
than ever the parents should labor to
make the hearthside attractive. In
this age of reStleSsness and shift,
when there was everywhere an effort
made to gain money, social position,
etc, the home spirit that our ancestors
enjoyed was gradually dying away and
the family circle had no place what
ever. The mother should multiply
her efforts to make home attractive,
to establish spirit of fraternity in
the family, and to make sympathy and
consideration qualities which encircled
the hearthstone and made 1t the most
sacred spot for both parents and chill
dren.

of these a saucer-shaped receptacle.
The traveller puts his coins I'm the pen

the ticket shoots out into the recepta-
Gle. II he puts a six-pence into the
two-penny slot three tickets emerge.
If he puts siXpence into the five
