Parents Should Use Candor and Tact
By LYDIA LIE BARON WALKER.

This does not mean that tact should
be abolished. Tact is like oil poured on
troubled waters. 1t Is the smoothing
of of sharp corners Of daily life. II
eases the burden to the back. 1t does
all these things and more besides.
There is no efficacy in bluntness. 1t
Jars and rankleS. So use tact with chill
dren as you would with those. YOUR
own age They will understand that
you are trying 10 make matters appear
their best. but this is nothing to OBJ
icct 10 and they will prefer II infinitely
to bald dictates and stringent COM
mands
Attracting a child's attention 10 some
thing else when 1t is disturbed. and so
helping him to forget the trouble is
using tact. One instance comes to
mind I'm which the child showed how
thoroughly she understood such pro-
cedure, and also how thoroughly she
appreciated its value. The mother was
accustomed when trouble threatened, to
attract her little daughters attention
TO the birds that were almost always
to be seen outside her nursery window
One day her mother was talking
about something the child did not care
TO pay attention to. so in her sweetest
tones she said as she pointed out the
Mamma, see the pretty little
bird" Fortunately the woman had
sense of humor and she laughed heart
iiy. Then the child did too She was
not fooled by her mothers methods.
but wisely used them when occasion re-
auired in her little scheme of things.
Parents who really understand their
offspring appreciate that the little folk
have a Keen outlook on life. and that
they understand far beyond their years.

dimples broke out upon the face.
Brightly laughing, 1t ran over the soft
grass, gathered honey from the hollow
tree and brought 1t to them on the
palm of its hand; carried them water
in the leaves of the lily, and gathered
flowers and wreathed them around
their heads, softly laughing all the
while. He touched them as their Joy
had touched them, but his fingers chung
more tenderly,
So they wandered on through the
dark lands and the light, always with
that little, brave, smiling one between
them. Sometimes they remembered
that first. radiant JOY, and whispered
to themselves, "Oh, could we but ma
him also!"
At last they came to where Reflection
sits--that strange old women who has
always one elbow on her knee and her
chin in her hand, and who steals light
out of the past to shed it on the future.
And Love and Life cried out, "Oh,
wise one. tell us: When first we met,
lovely, radiant thing belonged to US
gladness without a tear, sunshine with
out a shade. oh, how did we sin that
we lost it? Where shall we go that
we may find it?"
And she. the wise old woman, an
swered them: ITO have ii back, will
you give up that which walks beside
you now?"
And in agony Love and Life cried
together: moi"
SGive .up this!" said Life. when
the thorns have pierced me, who will
suck the poison out? When my head
throbs, who will lay his tiny hands
upon IL and still the beating? In the
cold and the dark. who will warm my
| freezing heart-without this?"
And Love cried out in her turn
1T would be better to let me die
| without Joy I can live; without this
/ that has come between I could not live.
Let me rather die than lose this--I
| would choose to diel'
And the wise old woman answered:
"Oh. fools and blindl What you once

could but know 1t! When Love and

Love and Life do not understand
that they could not carry the laughing
thing unchanged into the desert, and

which Love and Life must pass in
their journey together They do not
know that what walks beside them still

come reasonably orderly and neat and
careful. With this habit established,
the crop of mistakes viii be reduced.
You viii have pulled the worst weeds
from your garden.
Now, that won't be as easy 10 do for
some minds as for others. Nobody's
mind becomes en- orderly garden with
out cultivation. and we all tend to let
the weeds grow. But order Is nearer to
the natural habit for some minds than
for others. An unorderly or disorderly
mind is favorite breeding ground for
mistakes. But back OF that there Is an
other mental habit that breeds mistakes,
perhaps even more common. Its name
Is inaccuracy but that likewise is a
name only for a mental habit that Is
real. but a bit battling. That type Of
mind Is never sharply focused II works
with blurred images. II never gets your
name or your address or your instruc-
tinns just right: it carries. but 1t spills
as II does so. II turns out work that
must be gone over and checked up.
This type Of mind is dull like dull
tool, leaving ragged edges; nothing Is
sharp and clean cut They don't hear
quite right. don't see quite right, get
things Just wrong enough TO turn sense
into nonsense and wisdom into folly.
They'll get a thing right five times and
miss the next. They don't notice the
mistakes as they make them. Most OF
us correct our mistakes as fast as we
commit them. We go over our work
because no one Is nistakepr0of. The
proofreader notices errors In time TO
correct them.
Proofreading isn't limited TO print.
We need inspectors everywhere 10 de-

enormous amount Of inspection to keep

addition to lack of skill and care, we
are all liable to mistakes. just this oroi-
nary variety of lapses that creep into
our work and spoil the product.
Some psychologist can make large
reputation and, perhaps, a small fortune

He will have to specialize according 70
