BAD-TEMPERED CHILDREN
By H. Addington Bruce


| CAYS Mrs. Smith:
~ 81 can't for the life of me understand
w. little William. He's in a bad temper
nearly all the time. never saw such a child
for faring into rage"
! And Mrs. Jones:
He isn't bit worse than Jimmy That boy
is forever quarreling with other children, and
you should hear the way he speaks to his
mother
In chimes Mrs. Brown:
Its bad enough to have mean-tempered
boy in ones family, but how much worse it is
to have mean-tempered girl. I'm real sorry
for Betty's parents. She seems dead set
against them and everybody else"
| Now, in chorus, Mrs Brown, Mrs. Jones,
Mrs. Smith:
Little Bolshevists, that's what children
| like these are. The one thing that satisfies
| them is to be allowed to do exactly as they
| please. They ought to be severely disciplined.
That would cure them"
! But would it cure them, ladies?
All children need some discipline, l grant
you that. Isn't 1t possible, though that these
bad-tempered children and their kind need
something besides discipline, something alto
gether different from discipline?
Take Williams case.
William certainly has the look of boy per-
petually under a nervous stress. For myself,
I strongly suspect that he is afflicted with
eye-strain, and I would suggest that instead
of whipping him his parents should take him
to an oculist.
And Jimmy's bad temper may be rather
closely connected with his general physical
condition. He is under-nourished if ever
child were. He might be much more amiable
if only his mother gave some real thought tC
the matter of his diet.
Then we have Betty.
Betty's bad temper, to be sure can hardly
have physical cause. She is picture of
health.
But you know how her parents quarrel
with each other, thinking nothing of eXchang
ing heated words in her presence. Have you
never heard of psychic contagion? Can you
reasonably expect Betty to be sweet-temperec
when her parents give her such an example of
chronic irritability?
So do not be so quick, I beg you in con-
demning Betty and Jimmy and William. Do
not be so quick in condemning any habitualy
bad-tempered child Always a reason other
than innate depravity can be found for the
bad temp-r one must indeed deplore.
1t is true the reason may not always be
readily found. Its finding may necesstate the
calling in of specialists of all sorts But that
does not ,.-ter the fact that to jump to the con-
clusion that sheer naughtiness is q sufficient
explanation for a bad temper is to make seri
Gus mistake.
And it may be a mistake nothing short of
catastrophe in it's ultimate consequences if it
leads to the rod-and-stick method of persuad-
ing bad-tempered children to become docile
and gentle and sweet-tempered.

MY FAVORITE STORIES
BV Irwin Cobb

Vaudeville produces it's share and more
than it's share of good wheezes. A favorite Of
mine is the one of the two song and dance
artists who joined an actors society which
guaranteed to pay a thousand dollars upon
proof of the passing away of member in
good standing. The following Monday they
went to Baltimore to fill weeks engage
ment, On Tuesday morning the secretary of
the society received telegram signed by both
of them and reading as follows:
Send our insurance money right away. We
died here last night
Then there is the yarn of the two Chicago
youths who played the piano and sang songs
in a cabaret. The European craze for Amer
lean rag-time lured them to go abroad. On
their arrival at Liverpool they applied to the
manager of a local theater for job.
"How long does your act run?" he asked,
as he prepared to fill out the contracts.
ooh, about twenty-five minutes" said the
spokesman for the team.
TWENTY-FIVE minutes!" exclaimed the man.
ager. "My dear ,sirs, ours is a very long bill.
I cannot give you that much time-our turns
have to be very short. Eight minutes is as
much as l can allow you
Eight minutes-heIl!" shouted the troup-
er. "Why, BIO; we bows for seven minutes!"
But, to my way of thinking. perhaps The
best of them all deals with the Cockney music
hall performer who, to congenial group Of
performers in London, was describing what
had happened the night before 20 brother
actor whom he spoke of affectionately as
" AIRY"
'Poor old AIRY e 'ad most awful time.
They wouldn't even let i'm finish. Before e
was 'arf through with the first verse of is
opening song they began giving i'm the rars-
berry proper. And wen e quit them blokes
in the gallery Used i'm right off the stage.
They Used and Used and KEEP on 'issing even
after e y;G4 out of sight. Right after i'm |
ad to go on"
"T5ow did your set go?" inquired one of the
listeners.
COW, got over fine" said the modest
vaudevillian. But right in the middle of my
act they starts 'issing AIRY again.
A distinguished French diplomat lately put
into few words what think is the best pos
sible explanation yet offered ,as reason for
the failure of his countrymen to perceive what
our national attitude is, touching on the post
war issues which so deeply concern France
and, by the same token, the failure of our
countrymen to make out what the people of
France want and what they are striving for.
ITO begin with said the distinguished
visitor, ''the two races speak separate Ian
guaGes-always a bar to the adjustment of
contrary points of view But even where you
find Frenchman who speaks your tongue or
| an American who speaks mine, there still re-
mains an obstacle.
For example:
when you set forth a proposition to an
American and he says Yes he means, I'll
do it
But when you state the same thing to a
Frenchman and he answers Yes what he
really means is L understand what you
mean"

TRAVEL WITH A PURPOSE
BY DR.. Frank Crane

The Music Travel Club of America has
undertaken to plan for musicians their
summer trip in Europe in such way as to
make their visit unsteady valuable.
This club says that musical students and
musical enthusiasts who have gone to Eu-
rope for a summer have been at a disad-
vantage. Through lack of a well-defined
program they have missed much of that
musical life in Europe which might have
been of benefit to them. The club was
formed to remedy this defect.
Musicians this summer may have the
opportunity of making a complete survey
of European life and history, to attend to
the summer festivals, and get some intelli-
gent idea of the range of music in Europe
at the present day, an idea which indie
pendently it would be difficult to obtain.
Travel in Europe is distinct asset to
culture. Those who can afford it should
not omit it. And a great many afford
it who think they cannot
Living in Europe is not so expensive as
it is at home and travel is well organized.
1t is possible to go about economically
and yet to be very comfortable.
Many young man and young woman
has managed to spend a delightful summer
vacation with bicycle, especially in Eng
land, France, Germany and Italy.
Of course, America is the greatest coun-
try earth and all that sort of thing,
but the fact remains that from the stand
point of culture America is still a colony Of
Europe
We may have the thirst for culture, a
thirst even greater than that Of Europeans,
but we do not yet have the things of cul-
ture in that abundance which is found upon
the other side. Such things come only
with years.
1t has often been said that year of
travel in Europe is educationally equal to
two years in college at home. This is par
ticuIarly true if one is seeking that sort
of education for which the great works of
art necessary.
And in travel, as in other things, CO.
operation is valuable There is a certain
pleasure in Independent wanderings, but
there are distinct advantages in having a
number of fellows along who are inter-
ested in the same things.
A program is also important. It is we'll
enough to go about looking curiously at
whatever we may happen to see, but we
do not get the best results from travel I'M
less we have some sort of schedule and
plan.
Thousands Of Americans visit Europe
every summer. To many of these it is
merely a lark. But there are many others
who are intelligent enough to wish to COM
bine the pleasure of visiting new places
with the advantages that come from a bit
of study and orderly investigation.

only appeal is to provide change and amuse-

THE SUPERIOR SEX
BY HAZEL DEYO BACHELOR

What has gone before.-John Steele
marries Anne Temple knowing that she
has a secret in her past which she refuses
to divu1ge. He knows, too, that she does
not love him, but he is determined to win
her love, and on their honeymoon trip
they are swept irresistibly together. On
the steamer returning home, the fear
that Anne has perhaps loved some one
else in the past nearly drives Steele mad.
He asks her to tell him her secret, which
she refuses to do, and he does not insist
because he sees that she is upset On the
evening of her first dinner party, Anne
does not come home until late. Steele
remembers that on two other occasions
she has returned to the apartment late
and his suspicious are aroused But he
says nothing because his love for her is
so great, and for some reason he is in
constant fear of losing her.-Now go on
with the story,

He Stands by the World Court

TT IS highly gratifying that President Har-
ding has reaffirmed his faith in the Inter
national Court of Justice and his purpose
come member. This effectively answers the
rumor-which never, in our opinion, deserved
credence, but which some politicians took
pains to encourage-that the President would
abandon the idea, fearing lest its further ad-
vocacy might stir up strife in his party. That
it will be bitterly opposed by Senator Hiram
Johnson and others of the extreme Isolation
lists is foregone. Nor is it yet certain that
majority of the Senate Republicans will ap-
prove Mr.. Harding's proposal. hedged about
though 1t is with amplest safeguards for
ted his administration to so great and good
a cause, he could not in either wisdom or
honor, turn back. Let him but lead vigor-
ously forward, and the country's thought, re-
gardless of partisan politics, in 81 likelihood
will follow with hearty support.
Promises to that end are numerous. Wash
ington dispatches, approved if not prompted
by the White House, say that several members
of the Cabinet soon will make speeches in
favor of the court proposal, among these be-
ing Secretary Hughes and Secretary Hoover;
it on the Western tour which he is expected to
make. Particularly interesting, too, is the Of
fetal assurance given for the benefit Of those
who have worried over Britains "six votes to
Americas one in the choice of judges for the
court, that there is no ground of fact for such
misgiving. The explanation as tersely
summed by David Lawrence, is this: Nom
nations for judges are submitted to the coun-
ell as well as to the assembly Of the League
of Nations. The United States has one vote
on the council and the entire British empire
has only one In order for nomination to
be ratified by the council it must have a ma
jority vote of that body. Without the concur
renee of the council elections made by the
assembly are Ineffective" It should be added
that the United States, though not yet mem
Der of the court, has a distinguished citiz, n
ON it's tribunal, Hon. John Bassett Moore for
merly counsellor of several Washington ad-
ministrations foreign affairs.
The President, In his message to the Sen
ate on this matter shortly before the last
Congress adjourned, made 1t plain that the
United States could become member of the
world court without becoming a member of
the League of Nations, through which the
court instituted. While there probably
is great and waxing body of American opin-
ion tnat looks upon the League as an infu-
snce for peace and progress with which our
country ought to be Joined, still it cannot
fairly be contended that membership in the
court means ENHANCEMENT with the League
If we go into the latter it will be directly anG
with eyes open, not by any circuitous way.
The question of our participating in the court,
therefore, should be considered upon it's own
merits.
