TRY THIS ON THE CHILD
A NOVEL METHOD OF DISCIPLINE

If you keep the meal warm for
him when he is inexcusably late,
he will tend to become leaner
and a wilmer.
If you quickly replace every
lost or destroyed plaything, shield
ing him against the sacrifice and
sense of loss which his own care
lessness should entail upon him,
he will cease trying to produce
any of his own needed supplies.
The actor referred to above
was right. He was thinking of
the world as a stage and Of the
necessity of every child learning
to play his part.
To cause the child to suffer at
once, in a reasonable degree, from
his own error, is a sound princi-
pie of training. Self-discipline is
almost the only discipline that
counts.
