He can walk very still indeed when he

Suddenly Inky stopped. 1t was a

Just then Buster stopped and turned
to look off across the pond. When he
turned he looked bigger than ever. But
when a moment later he stood up on

Question: How many inches should

absurd as a set number Of inches from

such rule, and if there were, it would

MARY, let go of the spoon. You are
running your clothes. Here. Open your
mouth I'll feed you today. BY and by
you can feed yourself"
That happens many, many times and
it Is too bad. When a child struggles
to carry a spoonful of food to his mouth
look the other way. When he has tried
his fill, and given up, clean up the field
and lend him hand, If he is willing.
Not otherwise. He is not to have help
pressed upon him. Indeed he is not to
get help until he has tried to help him.
self once he has reached the stage Of
making an effort.
AS soon as one child Is old enough to
teach and help another child to be SELF
helping, allow him to assume the re-
sponsibility. Children learn from other
children faster than they learn from
adults. They initiate and teach each
other, and in that way become inde-
pendent of older people the sooner.
Adolescent children ought to be able
to take care Of themselves in all but
few phases of their lives They need
advice and guidance rather than domi-
nance and authority and relief from
responsibility. We do not allow the
young boys and girls of high school age
enough of Self-direction. OF course,
this requires great discretion, good
judgment and genuine unselfishness on
our part. Many of us do not want the
a
like to feel that we are needed tre-
mendously.
Well, We are. But our function is to
show the children how to get along
without us. That will give us more
than enough to do. 1t will call out all
our wisdom, all our tact, all our grown
upness. Only the parent and teacher
who has matured physically and men
tally can help child to growth.
Helen does not want to go to college
away from home. She and I are such
| chums." Don't believe that. 1t is child
iSh. 1t is holding on to something that
cannot be held without grave danger to
! the child.
Now, Miss Kate, this paper ought
/ to have one more point. 1 think this
answer deserves an eight rather than a
seven. By giving Don seven on this
answer you lost him first place and
gave it to Tom Hickie. The first place
| belongs to my boy. This is rank in
| justice. I won't have it. III"
Avoid that feeling 1t is yourself that
wants first place. that is fighting for
first place, struggling for honor that is
not your own. That, too, is childish
immature.
Then look we'll to yourself, parents
| and teachers and all who deal with chill
dren and youth. Allow them all the
power they can take TO themselves
Stand out Of their way. Let them grow.
