discomfort and failure.
Our hope In furnishing a child
lies in the possibility that we may
bring about regret in his mind. If
doing a certain thing has caused
him to feel sorry, then he is not
likely Willingly to repeat that act.
If, then, our punishment or meth
cd of handling him does not lead
to his feeling regret and distaste
for the act, it has failed If we
are unwise or hasty in our treat
ment, the child may feel only char
gin at having been detected in be-
havior displeasing to US. Perhaps
next time he will be more careful
not to be found out.
Punishment must take into ac-
count, then, not merely the simple
act which was wrong, but, among
other things, the attitude of the
child toward us, his feelings at the
time, and the amount of pleasure
he got out of the act.
Punishment is so much more
likely to have harmful than good
results that it should be used with
the care one would take in hand
ling an explosive.
Our obligation is to provide sur
roundings which offer as few
chances as possible for collision of
wills, and to accord the child his
own way of thinking and doing
whenever that way is not harmful.
In many homes the arrangements
are such that many occasions arise
which arouse the child's irritability.
In one family a child of three much
enjoyed washing his hands when he
was allowed to push his little stool

Emotional Habits

inherited behavior of the Individual
consists Of two types-insincts and
emotions. Because the emotion
which individuals experience does
not always show on the surface, we
sometimes fail to realize that it
generally represents an increase in
the excitment of the organism, and
involves widespread internal bodily
changes.
Amy intense emotion has the eff
feet Of speeding up bodily activity
in certain directions and slowing 1t
down in others. In emotion we
see changes Of heartbeat Visible

Miss Harriet sweetman WEEDS

Miss Harriet Sweetman WedS
Monday of this week DR.. and
Mrs. r. H. Sweetman announced
the marriage of their daughter,
Miss Harriet Esther, to Mr.. Harold
G. Frye.
The ceremony which comes as
very much of a surprise to the
many friends of the bride in this
city, was performed at Farming
ton, Mimi, Saturday, April II, 1881,
Rev. F. A Spong, officiating. Miss
Edna Sauber of Pennington, a
friend of the bride, was the only
attendant.
Mrs. Frye graduated from the
Sank Centre High School with the
class of 1928. Following graduation
she attended Carleton College for a
time. Later she took up Nurses
training at the Mayo Hospital,
Rochester, talking the full three
year course. For some time she has
been located in Minneapolis, con-
nected with General Hospital.
Mr.. and Mrs. Frye are happily
situated at the Ponsford Apart
ments, 2222 Nicollet ave, Mime
apolis.
DR.. and Mrs. Sweetman spent the
week end with Mr.. and Mrs. Frye.

solution. For example, emotion
arises when small boy, whose
time has been relatively free and
uninterrupted, is held suddenly to
rigid schedule of music practice.
Again, a situation which provokes
jealousy is the attachment of a
loved one for some other individual.
If the person knew so well what to
do in this situation that his reac-
lions would break up the undesired
attachment, he would not be jeal-
GUS. The presence Of emotion in
variably indicates that the individ-
ual must adjust to a situation for
which he has no solution at his
command.
If the person knew some ade-
quate way out Of every situation,
no emotion, either pleasurable or
disturbing, would ever arise. The
ardor of the child of two years in
Itumbling the contents out Of
drawers is dissipated when he has
free access towards whose con-
tents he may touch and handle.
Whenever the individual can
meet situations in his environment
by inherited modes of action, he
does so, but the minute he finds
himself in a situation for which
he has no response ready, the in
ternal changes which we call emo
ton, take place and the thwarted
and blocked individual turns aside
into new channels, and by. means
of trials and mistakes, finally ar
rives at some method of handling
the situation.
The child who hides the bread
he does not want, uses a bungling
method which partially solves the
immediate situation for him. The
temper tantrum is another means
by which a child seeks to meet
new situation. Suppose he has been
scolded for the first time by his
mother. If, somehow or other, he
can be helped to an action more
adequate and satisfying than the
temper tantrum, he will be free
from whole series of difficulties.
The child must be shown that there
is better way of meeting the per-
|plexing situation.
On close observation of young
infants, it has been found that there
seem to be very few basic patterns
or nuclei from which future en-
otional reactions arise.
In the beginning, very few stimu-
Ii have any power to set off an en-
otional reaction in the child. Recent
experiments with babies have
shown that the first emotions are
fear, rage and love. Fear can only
be aroused by sudden, loud sounds,
pain and loss Of support. Rage or
anger can be aroused only by hold
ling or restraint of bodily move
ment, pleasure or the rudiments of
affection by gentle stroking or
rhythmical stimulation.
The most striking contribution of
these studies was the upsetting Of
the old notion that here are inner
tied fears, as of animals or of the
dark; the babies were as ready to
pick up snake as rabbit, and
were interested in both.
More recent experiments tend to
show that as the child develops,
things which did, not originally
produce fear startle him because
his maturing intelligence recogniz-
es that they are new and unusual.
The Sauk Centre herald. (Sauk Centre, Stearns County, Minn.) 1886-current, 1931-05-28

thinking to save time, insisted that
the nonsense" Of the stool-getting
be omitted.
This meant the child had to
stretch his little arms uncomfor-
tably and could not have the fun
of helping. The time wasted in
quieting a rebellious child more
than Offset what would have been
spent in preparing for the "rite, -
which had also the advantage of
teaching the child methodical hab-
its which he enjoyed.
One cannot expect the child to
comply readily If he is jerked has
tily from whatever is occupying his
mind, without preparation. To
spend a little time planning our APP
proach will save time and the
child's disposition in the end, be
cause it will bring about a pleas
ant attitude on the part Of the
child toward being called. OF
course, one cannot have time to
lead up gently to request or COM
mand on every occasion, but the
parent who understands how to
gain the child's cooperation thru
entering into his play, will not have
difficulty making his call heard.
An example of this is the child who
comes willingly to the table when
his mother puts her request in
such form as, Time now to put
your truck in the garage-the de
livery man wants to eat his sup
lper.
A mother whose four-year-old
boy was much loved in the neigh
borhood by both adults and chill
dren was concerned because he
was gradually showing more and
more frequent stubborn and dis
agreeable behavior to her and to
his father. The three were con-
stantly at swords points, while out
siders continued to comment on the
perfection and amiability of the
child. What had happened was
that the parents intent on having
the child continue to be praised,
had acquired a habit of constant
supervision of his conduct, so
steady and insistent as to consti-
tute nagging. When the demands
and suggestions showered on the
child ceased, his irritable behavior
lessened.
What is expected of the child
must be appropriate to his age.
Often, in our ignorance Of what
children can do in various stages
of their development, we have in
mind rigid standards of behavior to
which the child cannot live up. In
the past, ignorance of standards
was an excuse. Today we are able
to find more and more reliable in
formation as to what children are
capable of doing and understanding
at various ages. Because child is
the eldest of family, he is fire.
quently expected to show discre-
ton and judgment that would do
credit to an adult.
Praise is more effective than
blame. Emphasis Is too seldom
laid on the child's good behavior.
while every minor misdemeanor is
dwelt upon, opportunities for COM
mendation and encouragement are
allowed to pass. "Reproof," says
Cameron, closes all the effect, like
punishment, when it is too often
repeated, and the child soon takes
| it for granted that all he does is
wrong and that grown-ups exist
only to thwart his will, to misun-
derstand, to reprove, or even to
punish"

The latter part Of the program
was given as a farewell to Prof.
II. A. Falk, first president Of the
Rotary Club. Herb, as he is called
by his fellow Rotarians, had gone
home and it was necessary that he
be called back to take his med
icine. A song written by John Nc

guest with a mechanical mule, a
smoking set, which was the cause
of considerable merriment. He was
also presented with set of Rotary
cuff links, or friendship links as
Rev. Butler called them. Prof. Falk
responded with an excellent talk in
which he told of his regrets at
leaving Sank Centre, and that the
friendships and memories that
were made during his sojourn of
nine years in this city would lin
