THE GOOD LOSER
Mary ZOOk

Everyone admires a good loser.
This is particularly true of the AM
erican public. When Carpenter sail
ed back to France a few years ago,
he took with him the esteem and
goodwill of the American people,
because he accepted his defeat so
gracefully. Conversely, a certain eX-
cellent tennis player is not well
thought of because she is suspected
of being a poor sport.
The training of a child to be a
good loser is extremely important as
the attitude he takes with regard to
his losses will make or mar his dis
position and will determine whether
or not he can keep his friends. No
one likes a whining, complaining
person about. This training cannot
be started too early as the older the
child grows, the harder the lesson
becomes.
My mother commenced with me
when i was six years old. 1t appears
I that / attempted to play croquet for
the first time. Not being able to
drive the ball through the wicket
after one of the attempts, l burst in
to tears, threw my mallet on the.
grass in a rage and screamed that l
wouldn't play any more. My mother
gently insisted that must finish the
game. She put the mallet back iAto
my hands and told me to try again.
OF course, the ball went wilder than
ever and l screamed loudly and wept,
but it did not change my mothers
decision. She kept me at it until
had been through every wicket. The
fact that l was blinded by tears
which continued to flow during the
entire game made no difference. My
mother puIposed to make me a good
/ loser and did not hesitate to sacri-
flee her own afternoons pleasure.
Her experiment worked to my ad
vantage as will be seen.
I The crying habit I had inherited
to some extent. Every time l tried
( to do something new and failed the
first time, l wept and became so
thoroughly discouraged that l gave
up trying This fault is absolutely
fatal to the progress and advance
ment of any child or adult. 1t is i'm
possible to get ahead if such an atti-
tude of mind is permitted. My mo-
ther was fully alive to this fact and
4 strove to reason with me and to en-
courage me never to cry, but to bite
my lips and hold the tears back at
/ all costs. She showed me what a
hindrance this fault would be later
on if 1 did not control it then. I
gradually formed the habit of whist
ling when l felt myself on the verge
of tears. l still find this helpful.
It took time and patience on my
mothers part to break me of the
crying habit. The tears gradually be-
case less frequent.
By the time l had finished High
School the results of this training
were clearly seen. l could lose q
game and smile with the best OF
them. Tears were a thing of the past
Under very trying circumstances,
/, competed for a scholarship. The fact
that the odds might be against me
= and the fact that I had not yet re
covered from a case of pink eye
did not deter me from straininI
, every nerve to succeed. Success
crowned my efforts. Had it not,
had already made complete arrange
, ments to undertake a similar serie'
, of examinations the very next weel
at different university. Who shal
, say that | had not learned to perse
we're.
