Free Child
BY ANGELO PATRI.

what one can do with a child who
has been reared in the new freedom
and has imposed slavery upon his
mother. My answer is, "Re-educate
him to understand that he must
obey"
But obedience will destroy his in
itiative, give him complex, make
him a dependent, helpless individual"
and SO on and SO on.
That is not true. The child who
Is not under control, his own or that
of some older person, is a pathetic
victim Of bad upbringins. No child
of tender years. and by that I mean
a child under 10 or thereabout, can
make important decisions for himself.
1t is the duty of parents and teachers
to lend the child the support of wis
dom, experience and authority.
Children under must obey, must
be guided and directed by others be-
cause they are helpless. The baby
must learn what obedience means by
experience and his training in obedi-
ence and corporation must be con-
SiStent and continuous until he reaches
the age where his mind Is matured
sufficiently to make a choice with
safety to himself and other people.
In trying to teach parents that au-
thority could be tempered by affec-
ton and tenderness, some schools
went too far to the other side and
eliminated authority altogether. That
was not only misguided enthusiasm,
1t was cruelty to the children. No
child under 6 years of age can be al
lowed to have his way with his life.
His health, his character, his whole
being must suffer. There is no sadder
sight than spoiled and domineering
child trying to find his way to COM
fort and happiness.
II reason and reason with him and
it does no good. He goes right on
This about a little boy of 8. Such
child does not reason in the sense his
mother means. Reasoning about
cause and effect comes much later in
life than years. Three years needs
to be told what to do, how to do it,
when to do it, and then led into doing
it, so that the experience teaches him
that obedience is the road to happi-
ness.
have no fear of robbing a child Of
his initiative by teaching him obedi-
ence. If this work is done intelli-
gently the child's individuality is pre-
served, his energy is conserved, his
peace of mind is assured, his CO.
operation with other people is as
sured. With that foundation laid, we
can then proceed to offer him oppor-
tunities for self-help. self-control and
leadership. You cannot make a leader
of one who has never been disciplined
Discipline is another term that has
been abused. Most people associate it
| with punishment. Discipline is eX-
perience that teaches one the differ
ence between acceptable and unac-
ceptable experiences. 1t may come as
natural consequence of behavior.
If the child eats green apples he will
be sick and so he learns about green
| apples. 1t may come by the inter-
ference of others. A child annoys
other people and is isolated for the
time being. He learns about con-
sideration of other folks feelings.
Discipline is essential to the freedom
of the soul. Begin early and remem-
ber that willing obedience is the cor
ner stone of fine character. Obedi-
ence, willing or otherwise, is essential
| for every child. A child is freest
when he is least burdened by self.

eaten too much to hurry. At the pond
of Paddy the Beaver he stopped for a
drink, breaking the thin ice with one
Of his big paws. Then he crossed the
dam and presently came to the great
windfall. 1t was a pile of trees that
had been torn up by the roots in some
great storm and had fallen together
in a great tangled mass. There was
a way to crawl in under this. Buster
knew all about it. He had been in
there before. With the coming of the
heavy SHOWS that pile would be partly
buried. and warmer, more comfortable
sleeping quarters for Bear he couldn't
imagine.
At the opening under the windfall
Buster stood for a few minutes look
ing around. 1T is my last look for
long time thought Buster. We'll,
I'm glad of it if you ask me. Those
who want to be out in Winter are
welcome to. How anybody ever finds
enough to eat then is beyond me.
Well, I guess I may as well go in
He yawned twice, then started to
crawl under the great windfall. He
was about half way to the middle
when he was stopped by a sound that
was the last sound in the world he
wanted to hear. 1t was low growl.
1t came from the very place he was
heading for. Some one was already
there, and Buster knew who that some
one was. He recognized that growl.
Mrs. Buster was in there. Yes, sir.
Mrs. Buster Bear was occupying that
bed under the great Windfall and that
growl meant that company was not
wanted.
Buster was upset. He was very
much upset. He knew that if Mrs.
Buster had chosen that place to spend
the Winter, that was where she would
spend 1t, and there was nothing he
could do about it. He knew that his
company would not be wanted and
would not be tolerated.
What are you doing here? This is
my Winter home" snarled Buster.
Get out!"
Get out yourself" retorted Mrs.
Buster, land stay out. This Is my
home for the Winter and don't want
company. What is more, don't in
tend to have company"
D.. There was something in the way
she said this, in her voice. that caused
Buster to back somewhat hurriedly.
Still he didn't back wholly out. He
hated to give up.

As the scarlet tanager ranges from

family.
Further, he even goes to the top of

| one egg, two cupfuls of white flour,
three tablespoonfuls of melted Short
ening, four teaspoonfuls Of baking
powder. one tablespoonful of sugar,
and half teaspoonful of salt.
There are many delicious varia-
tions from plain mullins that will lift
a meal out of the commonplace. Use
whole wheat or graham flour, corn
meal, or bran. for part of the flour.
Chop some nut meats rather fine and
mix them with the flour after it has
been sifted with the other dry in

pieces of dough in round balls and
place them in creased muffin tins.
In order to get the pieces the same

French toast-There is hardly q
leftover that can't be stretched and
improved with help of plain toast
or French toast. To prepare French
toast, cut white bread about one
half inch thick. Dip the slices in a
mixture of egg and milk, allowing
half cup of milk to each slightly
beaten egg. Add a dash of salt and a
pinch of sugar. Fry in small amount

EE that every bit of bread eaten
in your home carries with it
some of the nutrients which
wheat, meat and potatoes lack.
Make bread with good rich
whole milk, instead of water, and use
an abundance of yeast in making it.
These two simple changes will ma
terially improve it.
One of the bugbears in many
kitchens is the stale bread that ac-
cumulates. There are cut pieces left
from dinner and luncheon, too thin
for breakfast toast. There are the
heel and toe of the loaf that are apt
to be thrown away and the trimmings
from sandwiches. There are also all
the time-honored uses of bread.

tons to float in the bowl of soup re-

meat loaf, enhance the lightness and
flavor. AS a foundation for poultry
stuffing, as French toast dipped in
beaten egg and fried, as a covering
paste with egg for croquettes, in po-
tato cakes, in the alternating layers
of scalloped dishes of oysters, meat,
or vegetables. or sprinkled with grated
cheese on AL gratin dishes-in these
uses, stale bread is more or less IA
rniliar to every one.
Leftover bread should be thor
oughly dried or toasted in a slow
oven, then rolled or ground, or put
through q food chopper, and kept
ready for instant use. A paper sack.
temporarily attached to the food
chopper by an elastic band. keeps the
crumbs from scattering about as they
come from the chopper. Also. keep
the crumbs in a paper sack or in a
ventilated jar, to keep them from
growing strong.
Use string instead of knife to
cut brown bread. Take a piece of
string about 18 inches long, put it
around the bread, cross it, then pull
backward on each end. 1t will cut
a slice without permitting it to
crumble.
Cut two small rounds of brown
bread the usual thickness. Spread the
first round with paste of cream
cheese and shredded pineapple. Lay
the other round on top of it. Frost
the top with cream cheese. Garnish
with little parsley or a slice of
stuffed olive.
Spoon Bread-Scald one cupful of
white cornmeal with one cupful of
boiling water. Stir in two tablespoon
fuIs of butter, one teaSpoonful of salt
and two well-beaten eggs. Add one
and one-half teaspoonfuls of baking
powder and one and one-half cup
fuls Of milk. Turn into well-buttered

as baked custard, or for about 40
minutes. Serve at once from the bak-
