she added. Either that or else it
becomes more of a habit with older
children. I used to teach in the
grades and now I have high school
students. find these older chill
dren very quick with alibis."
But isn't it natural?" I coun-
tered. "As they get Older they are
likely to have more responsibility
at home. More things are likely to
interfere with school work. Besides
as life opens up they have more
interests outside of school life"
Eyes, I know that" she ack-
nowledged, "but there is something
about it I don't like. When any,
thing happens to interfere with les
sons or to make them late, they
really think that almost anything
else is to blame but themselves. If
they do it in school they must be
doing it at home.
When they graduate into business
they will blame the world if they
don't succeed. 1t shows a weaken
ing, think. No matter what hap
pens they will Shirk the RESPONSE
bility on to something else"
got her point. And as I look
back on my own experience in the
Schoolroom it is doubly proved. On
those I have been able to check
since, the e'er--o-wells of today
were mostly the chronic, "It-waSn't-
my-fault's" of old.
I believe mothers of little children
might be on guard about this mat
ter. Probably they unwittingly be-
gin it themselves. They not only
excuse their children to other peo-
pie, but if a baby touches a hot
stove they are likely to say. bad
stove to hurt Harry
If he bites his tongue on a lollv-
pop, they throw the candy over the
fence with malediction, Nasty
candy to hurt little Johnny that
way" Perhaps they even stamp it
under foot.
Little events of early childhood
count for so much, Some children
are blamed too much for things
they can not help. Others too little.
But the sooner child learns that
he must bear the responsibility of
his own action, or inaction, the bet
ter, think, for his future.
We all have to learn that, mis-
deeds often return to their author"
Excuses are the most synthetic of
palliatives.
