DEVELOPING THE MIND

The average man develops less than half of his real
mental capacity.
The race is constantly producing hundreds of minds

biologists interviewed by Myron M Stearns in the

develop hardly than fifth of their natural brain

THE MARINERS DO TRAVEL

Join the U. S. marine corps and see the world!
The catchword of the blue-clad recruiting sergeant
pretty nearly justified at that Major General John

the entire corps service outside the United States

YOUR
CHILDREN
~ Olive Rbe,zs Bardao
Cl028 BY MA Serv;ce.lne

Not few mothers have the per-
picking problem Of stealing to deal
with. It is most unfortunate and dis
tressing to have the baby we adored
and watched, as we thought so care
fully through the first few years, sud-
denly develop into that most repre-
henSible of beings-a thief.
Seemingly possessing no scruples
whatever, he helps himself to nickles
from our pocketbook. food from the
ice-box, and everything 1t moves his
fancy to possess.
What can we do? Punishment only
makes him worse.
The important thing, is not the
theft, but the motive that lies behind
it.
Children steal for various reasons.
Not only that but behind these rea-
sons is the ever. shifting condition of
his psychological development de-
pending on hts age. For instance, a
child of four is not likely to be actu-
ated by the same motive when he
steals as child of nine.
Children must be watched and
guided very, very carefully in the
most trivial things when they are
very young Strange as it may seem,
children are not born to honesty
neither are they born to dishonesty.
The best way to describe it is to say
that they are neutral.
You Weren't Born Honest
In plain words children have to be
trained to be honest, just as they
have to be trained not to break other
children's playthings or destroy other
peoples flowers. These are incipient
forms of dishonesty. The next step
Is to take other children's playthings
and walk off with other peoples flow
ers.
II child is stealing money it is
probably not a sudden thing. The
psychology of stealing in other forms
very probably has been crystallizing
in his makeup through several years,
unnoticed by his parents.
Don't scold or whip him. Talk to
him seriously. Show him how he will
be Stunned and disliked by every
body-how people despise a thief.
Tell him that Uncle Jack whom he
adores will never look at him If he
does it again.
II he repeats it, then take sterner
measures. Put this threatened boy

days. Make him feel his shame most
acutely.
Probe for Motive
If he still persists-then go into 1t
as if you were searching for radium.
Spend hours, days, weeks If neces-
sary and don't stop until you find out
why" he steals. What is his motive?
Is he ashamed to see other children
with spending money while he has
none? At almost any cost, if that is
the reason, put him on a small weekly
allowance. -
Is he jealous of someone? Does
Tom have knife he cOvets? Is he
saving what he steals to buy knife
like Toms? Work that out carefully.
It is the most inexcusable form of dis
honesty. It is deliberately planned
and the motive is bad.
Some people steal from sheer UNI
happiness. Quite often from idle
ness.
Be eternally vigilant. Do not allow
the slightest dishonesty to get by.
AS corollary to this-never tolerate
lie. Stealing and lying go hand in
hand.

A REAL JOB
The Women's City club of New
York, for instance, is busying itself
with what seems somewhat more Of
real job. This club asks why it is that
most any girl-child of IL to Is can
manage to be wed in New York, and,
because of the looseness Of the annul-
ment laws, declare herself unmarried
most any old time, without much
bothersome formality with the law.
The public schools report that nearly
100 girls under 16 leave school each
year because they are married.

PARENTS N. G.
The law permits these child mar
riages with the consent of the par
ents. This club suggests that sorat
consent other than parents, that OF q
judge of the children's court, must
be given In addition. This sounds
sensible. Most Of us see evidence
constantly that just the fact Of being
parent implies no special wisdom
either towards ones own children or
others.

ALLENE SUMNER

Story has it that Mrs. Former
Kaiser Wilhelm got mad on her
husbands 10th birthday and went to
bed, pretending she was sick, rather
than be outranked at the festive
board by Crown Princess Cecile.
The argument dates back to Prin-
cess Hermine's wedding with the
former Kaiser when the Crown
Princess and many Of her adherents
refused to accept Hermine as "Her
Majesty" claiming that since she
married the former Kaiser after his
abdication, her rank was far beneath
those who received their rank through
marriage or birth during the imperial
days.
