Striped Chipmuak.
~ LACK PUSSY had tried and
- tried and tried again, and all
/ her efforts had been in vain.
- She had tried TO catch Striped
Chipmunk and simply had been
laughed at.
"I'n get him some time. I'll catch
that fellow yet" Black Pussy had said
more than once.
Whenever she had nothing better to
do she would go down to the old
Stonewall and watch for Striped Chip
munk. Sometimes she would hide be-
hind a big stone. Sometimes she
would flatten herself down in the
grass. Sometimes she would sit down
behind tree. She had patience. plen-
ty Of it. I know of TO one who has
more patience than . hunting Cat.
But despite all her patience and all
her cunning, she had so far failed to
lay so much rs claw on Striped
Chipmunk.
To him, being hunted by Black
Pussy was sort of game. He really got
q lot of fun out of 1t. Sometimes when
she had patiently waited and watched
until she had become sleepy and
would close her eyes for moment or
so Striped Chipmunk would wait
until she did close her eyes and then
dash across right in front and close
to her and jeer at her.
At the same time it provoked
Striped Chipmunk to be hunted by
Black Pussy. He felt that it wasn't
right, as indeed it wasn't. He didn't
like being hunted by anybody, but
he could excuse certain folk who
hunted him. HE knew that they had
to hunt in order to get food enough
to live, but Black Pussy was different.
She didn't have to hunt in order to
live. She had all the food she wanted.
and more, at Farmer Browns house,
for Mother Brown and Farmer
Browns Boy took good care Of Black
Pussy. You would know, just to look
at her, that she had plenty to eat.
This peeved Striped Chipmunk. In
fact, it made him very angry at times.
1T isn't fair" he sputtered. 1T isn't
fair. 1t isn't fair. OF course, I don't
like to be hunted by anybody, but I

cause they need food. That Cat hunts

It happened one morning that
Striped Chipmunk popped his head
out from between loose stones of the
old wall almost N Black Pussy's face.
She had just arrived and she didn't
know that Striped Chipmunk was
there, and he didn't know that she was
there. Like q flash she struck at him
with one of those black paws of hers.
Striped Chipmunk ducked and backed
down between the stones. He ducked

Psychology
BY DIR. JESSE w. SPROWLS.
Forced Obedience.

EORCED obedience is no obedience.
The data on this fact are accumu-
lating from day to day. Generally in
terms of disqualification for the men
tally maladjusted. The school teach
ers say they find 1t as far down the
line as the third grade. Children who
have been forced to obey their parents,
without any understanding Of the rea-
son why, become stubborn. The teach
er calls them problem children" And
here's what the teachers are saying
nowadays: "a problem child means
a problem parent at home"
Very little was comprehended about
this working Of young minds until the
so-called new psychology" or depth
psychology" got under way. It seems
that children do q lot of private think
ing about their place In this world.
Once they get the habit Of resenting
authority, they become resentful and
stubborn in the face OF anything and
that stands for authority.
The suspicion Is that many criminals
are created by the simple process Of
obedience forced upon
them In childhood and youth.
A negative parent image" they call
it. This parent image" is . stimulus
for a reaction each time it Is aroused.
The habit of avoiding authority Is
created. That's why SO many persons
lose their confidence in the pres
ence of the boss or manager. Some
administrators recognize this common
weakness and make allowances. But
If the boss, manager or administrator
happens to have the same complex"
nothing can be accomplished. Reason
flies out Of the window every time
they meet.
