''Whocsh!"-the little boy with
the big eyes was out Of the chair
where he was sitting and past the
big policeman, who was supposed to
keep him there, and before you
could speak he had his arms

boy with the big eyes.
Don't you cry. I'll never run
away no more, honest I won't, Ma;

And the little woman's hat was
knocked to one side and her face
was smudged from the grimy paws,
but her eyes shone like stars.
When the Judge asked a few
questions it turned out that the
little boys father had been a sailor,
and he never could stay at home
either-and now he would never
come home again, never, never,
with his blue eyes full of dreams
and his rolling walk and his
strange wild stories Of strange wild
seas.
And what do you think that
Judge did?
He let the little boy go, but first
he asked him if he would like to go
fishing with him UP in the woods
for a day or so-and it turned out
that the Judge had a brother who
ran away from home to be a sailor,
and since then
I do hope Charlie won't run away
again and make his mother cry
not for a long, long time. Don't
you?

LITTLE MOTHER By Alice Judson Peale

'1 never worry about stevie when he's with his sister. Lucy just adores him. She's perfect littM mother. He's miserab ble when he is away from her: he simply doesn't know what to do with himself. They play together all the time. Even when stevie gets irritable aHt throws things around, Lucy seems to know just how to handle him."
 Stevie's mother spoke with com- placency. The relationship between the children seemed to her an enc tirely satisfactory one. What could be better than a brother and sister so completely devoted to one an- other? To which we answer: Why, nothing in the world could be bet ter, except a brother and sister. who. though on friendly terms. are quite independent of each other"
 The "mothering" older child is learning a dictatorial attitude which she must unlearn if she is to mako A pleasant adjustment to her equals. She is deriving her chief satisfac. ton through managing another hu- man being instead of through whole- some. objective play.
 The younger child is being ex- plotted. The little mother" makes him fit into her play schemes. She blocks his efforts at independent play. she explains. dominates and corrects. Being herself . child, she cannot help misusing her advantage. In ways both obvious and subtle, she uses his weakness to feed her sense of power. When two children be- cnr,o thus dependent on each other it is we'll to separate them during al feast several hours of the day.
 Little children should not be littls mothers nor should they respond 10 'mo herring" from any child. They should have free, fair chance to establish themselves independently. While 1t is necessary for them to submit 10 a certain amount of adult domination, domination of one child by another is without value and without excuse.
