WHAT OF TT

MUCH of our complaining about
1Vl the children is Of no account.
Many of our sharp criticisms are I'M
necessary. We have the picture of our
ideal of a child In mind and when the
actual child differs frem the dream
we are troubled, or annoyed, and at
tempt to make the child conform to
our notion. Most of the friction In
families is caused by this mistaken at
titude.
If a child is born with pug nose
and the family likes straight ones bet
ter, If he has freckles and mother
prides herself on her clear skin, if he
has big hands and feet and father has
dainty ones, IL he is reticent and the
family loquacious, what Of it? What
can he do about it? Or you, for that
matter?
The child was born with characters
tic physical features, with certain
strong traits and tendencies. Are you
going to make his life miserable be-
cause you fancied different set for
him? Or are you going to accept him
good humoredly and do your best to
help him grow to his own advantage?
Next time you feel tempted to suffer
because your child has some annoying
characteristic, one that Is not truly
fundamental to his mental and physi-
cal health, just ask yourself. "What
of it?" Keep asking until the answer
comes to you. "Just nothing at ALL"
This child is going to make his way
in the world in spite of his red hair, or
his awkwardness or his weight. What
counts is his mind. If that is strong,
1t is beautiful, and mental beauty illu-
inmates the body with radiance that
wipes, out all crudities,
II a child is made to feel unfit, his
mind suffers am against mental suf-
fering for children-adults, too, for
that matter. | believe that 1t is our
duty to save children from mental dis
tress whenever we can. We ought to
be on the alert to prevent it. Tha.
means we should not make remarks
about a child's personal characters
tics in a way that wounds his spirit.
If child is awkward. study how to
help him grow in grace, remembering
all young things are clumsy at the
start. If hair is straight when curls
would be lovelier. If 1t Is difficult
color, dress it to advantage. No
healthy child ever had ugly hair. If
he has blemish or defect that you
can help. help it If 1t can't be helped.
what of IT.
don't believe children grow their
own feelings of inferiority. | believe
they are made for them by mistaken
adults. If child is taken as he is,
with good humored affection, he isn't
going to look for something to worry
himself about. He will say as you say,
"What of it?"

OUR
CHILDREN.
g
THE LONG AND SHORT
By ANGELO PATRl

TT TAKES nice sense of dlscrimi-
1 nation to know when to encourage
child to independent action and
when to restrain him. The aim of all
our teaching is to make the children
self-helpful. The great problem Is to
know when II Is safe to send them out
on their own. One is never sure.

child to the post adOlescent stage
as dependent child and on his birth
day anniversary, turn him loose with
the idea that he can take care of him.

matter II is slow growth fed by ex-
periences. Some Of these experiences
must come in infancy, the others fol-
lowing along in their appointed places.
The infant is dependent upon US for
his very life, but If we continue to
keep him so he will, he must, continue
to be an infant. We cannot ignore the
various stages of growth and expect
them to mature. Without use, the
budding powers wither and die. Good
training involves understanding of the
various phases of child growth so that
they may be developed in turn and
at the high tide of their powers.
Self help begins when the baby can
hold his own bottle, or help to hold 1t,
and it continues as long as there Is
strength in his body, even down to
oil age. The span in between is one
of steady progress, adjustment, mas

of home supervision depends upon the
SORT of child he is, the kind of train
ing he has, the sort of environment he
meets in his daily experiences. AS
soon as yo- see that child can COM
plete job without your supervision,
praise him and tell him so. He will
master physical tasks first. Make a
lot of his success. Know that the
spiritual victories come later and their
roots are in these first tasks.
There comes difficult time when
children feel grown up. To them
selves they are able to 60 anywhere,
face any situation, carry any respoh-
sibilithy. To us who know them, who
have followed every stage Of their
growth. they are not able to go alone.
They are long on one side and short
on another. It won't do to make them
infants. 1t won't do to make them
adults. We have to piece out their
short sides and help them along until
both sides balance.
There is no easy way. One steps
along gingerly, living day at time.
