YToST Of the adults were rs,.sed

US who have failed to see how
pernicious such training Is are
bringing up their children in the

1t is the easiest thing in the
world to frighten child. 1T IS
convenient. 1t yields quick and de-
cided results.
But study the childhood back

asI have done, and in scores and
scores of the cases it is fear away
hack that started the nervousness
off.
Naturally. a child commits So
cial errors, is mischievous and
otherwise misbehaves, and 1t must
be coerced and socialized But not
with fear!
Frighten a child ever so little
and you never can foretell what
it is going to do TO its immature,
cropping. developing mind
Let us remember that the world
is bigger than the child and, as
the child comes more and more
into contact with the worlds
harshnesg and its rigid standards,
that the child feels timid anyway.
We must really try to remove fear
rather than create fear. We must
encourage the child to be brave.
Let us not tear down. but build
up.
Let us make positive suggestions
to our children instead of negative.
Let us cut don't out of our
vocabulary entirely.
Let us stop threatening.
Morality and social conduct,
which are built up upon fear

We can teach children what Is
right and what is wrong, we can
teach them kindness, courtesy,
tolerance, honesty, loyalty and all
the other virtues by positive ex-

One point the psychoanalytlc
school of psychology has brought
out and emphasizes is the erect
of fear which may be entirely

adult has fear lodged in his un-
conscious or subconscious mind
usually from childhood, and TINS
subtly undermines his personality
ambition, forcefulness and gen.

ing what the true source or the
trouble is.
Fear makes towards OF us ali

one person to inculcate fear in

is pure humbug and the victim
must believe because he trusts, or
is too innocent and immature to

LISTEN, WORLD!
The Rage Of the Righteous
By Elsie Robinson

But she's fooling herself
She thinks about them because
she envies their good times.
She's jealous of their youth,
their audacity, their charm
Mrs. Edwards never had good
times like that. She never had
attributes like that. She never
did eager, reckless things; she
never drove men wild with love.
She didn't have the power in her
to do these things and now it's
too late, And when she sees inn.

she cl1okes with baffled longing,
and takes it out in saying venom

That kind OF righteousness" is
more vicious than the loosest liv-
ing. 1t il actually farther from
the ideal of the generous, gallant
Christ. As matter of fact, peo-
ple like that aren't righteous at
all. They merely use righteous
ness as a camouflage for their
own cowardicea and colorlessness.
They're too cautious to throw
themselves into the great adven-
lures of life and it makes them
furious to see braver natures cap

The Washington times., 1928-12-11

IT'S my opinion that much Of
u the rage of the righteous is
inspired by pure envy.
Or, TO be more accurate, by i'm
pure envy.
Take Mrs. Edwards, for ex-
ample. Mrs. Edwards Is a thor
oughly respectable widow. For SO
years she has lived life OF per-
feet rectitude. No one ever had
chance to gossip about her. No
one made passes at her. Every
one knew at a glance that she
was Good Woman. and treated
her as such.
Now. you'd think with record
like that Mrs. Edwards would be
sitting back enjoying her mellow
years and perfect reputation. But,
instead, her righteousness doesn't
seema to be doing her a mite of
good. She's mad as hops most
of the time. She's mad at the
Younger Generation.
According to Mrs. Edwards. the
Younger Generation are a thor
oughIy Bad Bunch. They're reck-
less, irnpudent, immodest, immoral
i'm short, they are everything
that Mrs. Edwards wasn't at their
age. But instead of congratulate
ing herself over this fact, she gets
simply furious every time she
thinks about them. And she
thinks about them all the time.
Mrs. Edwards insists that she
thinks about them because she
hates the wickedness--
