THE HELPLESS
CHILD
BY LorettO C. Lynch

a GLARING example of in
"a justice to children has just
come to my notice. The
mother and father have a small
bungalow in the suburbs and the
children range in years from four
teen to two. There are four of
them. A call at this bungalow at
8 in the morning notified the.
mother that the child of a neigh
boring bride was in commissions.
The mother hastily donned her
clothes, rushed to the sick bed and
after two hours Of work saved the
little one.
But back in her own bungalow
all was chaos. Her own children,
never having been taught to de-
pend upon an alarm clock. over
slept. When the tired mother
rushed in along about o'clock,
none but the eldest, a boy, had
been able to locate his school
clothes or dress. He had never
been taught to help the others.
He did not know how to make a
simple breakfast of bread and but
ter and milk or cocoa.
And the result was that by the
time these helpless children wait
ed for mother to come in and do
1t all it was far too late for any of
them to go to school.
There is happy medium be-
tween overworking child and
teaching him or her to be helpful.
The mother who delegates the en-
tire care of a young and trouble
some infant to her little son or
daughter who should be out rollick.
Ing and playing or studying, is not
giving that little son or daughter
a square deal
Surely no boy is less a manly
chap II he learns how to slice and
toast bread or soft-cook an egg or
make a cup Of cocoa. Our rough
and ready soldier boys could pre-
pare their own food in an emery
ency. Why not our boys of eight
or ten years?
One mother confessed to me that
often she was 80 Ill she would give
anything to have SCENE one come
In and wash up the dinner dishes
while she rested. But when I suH-
gested that her ten and twelve
yearolds ought to be able to do this,
she very quickly replied: "Wen,
the poor little things will have to
do that soon enough when they
grow up and--besides, they might
break dish"
Are you letting your children
grow up helplGnh?
