once established they do their duty.
So it is with, our commands. The
first two or three years we prepare
the signboard. And after that the
rules which govern the road are
learned so well, that we need not
call attention any longer to the
bumps and curves and rough spots.
The children slow up for these with
out being told and without any ef-
fort from us.
So we will find in a well-trained
family that the direct commands are
few, and because of this fact when
they are given, obedience is almost
assured. But like a powerful machine
that we admire because it runs so
smoothly and noiselessly, someone
behind the scenes has ben oiling the
wheen, and in this case Someone is

GIVE COMMANDS RARELY

In q well-ordered household where
the children are properly trained, 1t
is surprising how few direct COM
mands are necessary.
Such remarks as "close the door,"
stop your noise" don't throw pill
lows" "eat with your fork" and "be
careful of those books" are unneces-
sary because they have been implied
all through the lives of the children.
A baby two years old has learned the
fundamentals that control actions re-
sulting from these and similar COM
mands. He has been taught to close
doors and do it quietly until the ac-
ton is reflex. He doesn't need to be
told to stop his noise, because he has
learned that any excessive uproar
has unpleasant consequences. The
very first time he threw a pillow he
was shown that 1t nearly hit the
lamp, and that II also tore a corner
of the pillow. Yes, there was rea-
son why pillows should not be thrown
about, and having this fixed in his
mind he doesn't have to be told all
the time, or every day. So with ,oz-
ems of other items in discipline.
Our commands resemble the sign
board placed along the highway that
says dangerous curve ahead" The
first time the driver goes over the
road he is controlled entirely by the
wording on the sign. He stops and
reads II and then drives slowly until
he has negotiated the turn. But after
much driving over the same stretch
of road he knows he must slow up,
and clamps on the brakes without
even glancing at the sign. AS far
as he is concerned the sign could be
removed, for he doesn't need it,
However. the important point with
mothers is TO get the sign up in time
OF course there is some work to
making signboards. They have to
be carved and outlined and painted
and afterwards put up securely. but
