Your Baby and Mine
Ry MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.

The moment a parent speaks ms
opinion frankly about making chli
dren mind one is accused OF being
cruel and heartless. If one says that
children should have certain
amount of freedom and not be nag
ged constantly by fault-findlng par.
ents one is accused of being lax ana
easy-going. Truly the way or the
parent with children is a difficult road
to follow and satisfy oneself; help the
child, and keep all friends, ne1ghoors
and relatives pacified.
In order to do ones best by the
child one should keep not ones own
comfort in mind, nor should one con
slider what some one else is gong 70
think or say; the only consideration is
the good of the child himself The
principles he must be taught at home
so that when he goes to school he
will not be compelled to unlearn a
lot of lessons which were anti-social
or q lot of habits which are antag-
onistic to good citizenship.
The first lessons in discipline are, of
course, training in good habits, eating
and sleeping. Regularity in these
things removes the chief causes OF
friction between parent and child and
as the baby grows into a child it is
much easier to add other good habits
to his list.
Playing with other children, the
child must learn that if he expects to
find pleasure in the companionship or
others he must be willing to share his
toys with them. This comes hard to
the only child, who has had every
thing his own for long time, and 1t
is a policy which is brought home to
him by seeing that his mother and
father are willing to share many of
their own belongings, books, records,
patterns, delicacies from their table,
all the innumerable things which can
be pointed out to the child, as freely
lent for the pleasure of others.
The smaller child of a household
of many will learn this lesson easily
il the older children freely share their
toys with her or him. One can teach
the joys of property rights by giving
each child something that belongs to
him alone. He may lend this and
share it's joys but it should come back
to him as its owner and caretaker.
No one should be denied this privi-
lege, as it enhances his appreciation
Of the joys of ownership, strong
link in future good citizenship.
So many of the things which chill.
dren do and which seem bad to the
parent are done out of Astounding
vitality; out of curiosity, or thought
fulness Much should be overlooked.
A parent who is gracfously blind in
one eye will find that when some real
fault demands attention the child will
know that what he has done is not
to be repeated. Talking, scolding
and nagging all DAY long about this
and that and the other thing SO weak
en- the mothers power for discipline
that when something really serious
comes In sight she has no weapons
for it. She has exhausted her am
munition on small game.

WINTER
BY d. c. PEATTIE.
Tramping.

The mild, russell Winter that we
know, when many days have skies
gently blue and weather as open and
soft as March, is the time in all the
year when it is best to tramp. No
heat, no dust, no mosquitoes or CHG
gers. and not an enemy but cold, if,
indeed, that is not really he tramper's
friend. Put on your thick shoes, wear
a sweater, not an overcoat, and an
old hat. take your stick and your
pipe and your Oldest gloves, and you
have the trampers full equipment.
But ! am forgetting-there is one
other thing Indispensable. That is
light and foolish heart. One cannot
read Shelley with delight while try
ing at the same time to figure out
ones income tax. And the tramper
should likewise divest himself of all
serious purpose. 1t is a great error
To tramp for the sake Of getting some
where If you are in q hurry to get
to Baltimore or Falls Church or Har-
pers Ferry, by all means take the
tain. The spirit of the tramper is not
in you.
Tramping is like riding on roller
coasters, or going up in the Monu-
ment; it has no purpose but enjoy
ment. One needs time to look around,
to listen to every crow poW-WoW in
the pine groves, to hear the lispng
Of the icy creeks among the alder
, roots. The art of getting nowhere in
particular is the master test of the
| true tramper. 1t is an art which
must be born in ones nature.
Sometimes | see the soul of a
| tramper even in a motorist. when
behold one driving car slowly along
country lanes, stopping sometimes to
| fill his eyes with the view from the
| top Of a hill. But mostly the cars
| whirl by on the main highroads, rails
! ing a racket that browns the call of
the cardinal bird from tho brambles,
hurrying the rider past immemorial
swells in the hills, over brooks that
| have a secret to tell, but ere never
| needed.
The scenery must have bsen beau
| tiful," wrote d friend OF mine who
was taken on Unconstitutional trip
by some enthusiastic mile Wallowers
! And that is why the tramper should
avoid main pixies, where the cars bark
at his heels, and motorists, who find
il an exertion to walk from the house
to the garage, turn around and stare
at the hiker as though he were crazy
Automobiles fill the quiet mental at
mosphere of the tramper with jan
Cling static, and messages from woods
and fields cannot reach him.
