THE THINGS FOR WHICH
THE GROWING CHILD Is
PUNISHED ARE SIMPLY EVIL
nENCES OF DEVELOPING
MENTAL PROCESSES.
'rBut is rudeness to his mother
an evidence of developing mental
process?" snorts an indignant
parent.
1t wasn't rudeness, Pa. It
was simply one Of the questions
which Wilford is bound to ask.
HAVING REACHED THE AGE
OF COMPARISON. Having put
the names on the objects and ,ex-
periences which surround MIN,
and having grouped certain as
sociations with each object ana
experience, the child goes on 10
the next stage. He begins to
COMPARE things. He begins 10
compare hard things with sort
things-pleasant sensations with
unpleasant ones-pretty people
with horuely ones, etc. His hun.
ger for comparisons is ruthless,
as all vital hungers are. 1t knows
no restrictions or limitations. 1t
spares no one. 1t falls alike
upon stranger or kin. This, too,
is az it should be, II he 10 to

That's why wilford said: Say,
mother, you look awful funny in
that old black dress. There
Amt no class to the way you
dress. IL there"
Wilford wasn't being disloyal
or unappreciative of his mother.
He was simply looking her over
as part of newly perceived
world, and telling her his honest
opinion, Moreover, that opinion
was probably true. Instead of
Furnishing him for 1t, and thrust
ing shut the door OF his candor,
which should have been kept
open at all cost, the mother
should have received the COM
ment in the spirit in which 1t
was given and enlisted the boys
interest by asking for advice
about her clothes. There was
her great chance to make q
partner of her boy. Instead of
that she has earned his resent
ment. He has learned to hold
his tongue''-wHICH AT HIS
AGE WAS THE WORST THING
HE COULD POSSIBLY HAVE
LEARNED. But under the sur
face the comparisons Sc on just
the same. And they are far
less complimentary to her sense
and sportsmanship than thag
were before that spanking.

yell Apple Saucer' at indignant
elders. Not so Wilford. He was
the eighteen karat juvenile model
at all times.
u Then suddenly a queer change
obeyed as meekly or promptly.
There was new look in his eye
when mama and papa laid down
the law and the look was not one
of unmixed admiration. More
over, he began to transfer his
affections to new objects. Wahted
to play at Jimmy Malone's house
Ia most undesirable shack down
the alley. Developed an intense
admiration for Mrs. Malone
lady singularly lacking in cul-
ture. Then capped it all one day
by saying: Say, mother. you
look awful funny in that old
black dress. There amt no class
to the way you dress, is there?"
Whereupon mama broke into
wrath and grief and dad prompt
ly gave young MILFORD the spank
ing of his life. What was the
world coming to when children
showed disrespect like that for
their parents? Insulting his own
mother! That just showed what
could happen when a child fell
under the wrong influence. I'm
doubtedly those vulgar Malone
people had been putting the boy
up to impudence. Well. Dad
Evans would nip that sort of
thing in the bud. He wasn't go
ing to have any young outlaws
growing up in HIS home-no
stree!
All this sounds like 100 per
cent discipline and common sense,
doesn't it? 1t does. And like
much of our loudly footed disci-
pine, it Is, 80 $4,000 per cent
BUNK!
Dad Evans really believes that
young MILFORD has shown afro
cious disrespect for his mother
and that the correction admins
tered was most excellent. But
as a matter of fact, he's all
wrong. MILFORD didn't show dis
respect for his mother. No one
had been putting impudent no
tions into the child's head. VIII
ford's query was perfectly normal
and correct. 1t was as natural a
manifestation as the cutting OF
his teeth. 1t was indeed sign
that he was cutting certain new
teeth mentally.
Children's minds pass through
various phases of development,
lust as children's bodies pass
through certain phases of devel-
opment. When MILFORD was a
tiny baby, his mind passed from
one experience to another with
almost no association of the sue
ceeding events. At first things
were a blur-both mentally and
physically. The eyes and the
mind of very young child both
register indistinctly. Gradually
the blur clears. Things stand out.
There Is box. There is dog.
There is a man. Soon it becomes
q red box, different from the
blue box - Jimmy's dog, not
Willy's-a tall man, unlike the
little man. Slowly he learns
other things about boxes, dogs

problem from that point. Which
developed itself first amidst that
.blackness--light or eyesight?
How did a protoplasmic impulse
to see arise before there was any
light to see by? Or how did a
similar impulse to create light
arise before there was any sense
OF sight?
Remember. both the light and
the organs of vision found in the
dark sea caverns are highly spe-
cia1lzed. Here would seem to
be a rich store OF material for
the Paley type of reasoner to
work upon In showing the
necessity of an intelligent design
ing mind for the contrlving and
determining of the forms which
organized bodies bear"
TT would be pure fantasy to
imagine the deep.sea animals In
venting and creating light ana at
the same time inventing and
creating organs to use the light
in order TO facilitate their search
for food, and make living more
agreeable for themselves. That
would be step beyond even HUI
man foresight at its best. Doctor
Paley might say: 1T is incon-
ceivable that that could be done
otherwise than by a supervising,
designing intelligence. But ma
terialists assume that chemical
and physical forces" could play
the part of creator by originating
both the desire for and the power
to create and utilize light, where
no light existed before.
There Is good material for much
thought here. Try varying the
line of attack on the problem by
supposing that the progenitors of
the deep-sea creatures originally
dwelt In the light near the sur.
face and carried down with them
in their migration ancestral mem
cries of better things.

Youth of Jerusalem
CONTINUED from Page -


you ever heard Jews laugh like that
anywhere else In the world? 1t liz the
laughter OF which only those mortals
are capable whose souls are free, whose
dreams have been realized, for whom
life is glorious, creative adventure.
But look-look at those who line the
walks. Look at those Jewish young
men who are not Of that flood Of JOY
pouring down the road. Look at the
youth of Jerusalem who stand and
gaze upon this scene Look into their
eyes. There is longing there, wistful-
ness. They would, II they could, be-
part OF that flood. But, how!
j cast no blame upon anyone. Per
haps, 1t could not have been helped.
But l regard 1t as great blunder
that somehow no way was found, no
way has yet been found to draw these
young men into the new life Of Pal
estine. They would be that much added
TO the reconstruction forces, 10 the re-
builders Of Zion. But they would bring
more than mere numbers. They would
bring a Jewish lcaven where Jewish
leavening is needed. Or, call it d re-
ligious leaven. The years they spent
in the drill of the Talmud has given
them that plus" which is the Jewish
plus" 1t has given them n certain
self-possession, certain power of self
discipline which some of the exuberant
Chalutzim lack. As it is now, they
are alienated, apart.
They must not remain apart. We
dare not permit it. For If they re
main apart-who knows the conse-
quences They must be fused into
the flood of new, joyous, creative jew
ish life, They, too, must become Chalut-
zim. Why wait for Poland to send
its religious youth to Palestine to in
fluence its life? Here are some thou
