every meeting held in this town. By not asking for
boxing gloves you tting something that fur

worst, and universal horror: there

who had scads of money and wore
black silk ones, but the rocking chair

remarks about her character because
Of them.
IRON this bundled-up period we
passed to the more daring dress
maker suit" surmounting the long
black tights and suit in one made
popular for swimmers who really liked
to swim by Annette Kellermann.
Gradually more freedom was attained;
a few beaches permitted the bathers
to appear on them without any stock
ings at all. The one-piece suit of wool
or heavy knitted silk under the dress
maker suit" displaced the Kellermann
tights, and there was lot of to-do
at certain public pools and beaches
about policemen who were required
to tramp up and down with a yard
stick, measuring the length of any
skirt whose fiutter appeared too ab-
breviated for the standard of modesty.
The movies and their bathing beau
ties became national favorites-and
freedom of the beach was born.
"Swimsuits" instead of bathing
suits" were the demand, and the
shorter and tighter they were the bet

the trunks, soon gave up the fashion
struggle. and the maillot, or COM

Experience
The Best
Teacher
Too Much Warning
And Commanding
Does Not Work.
BY ANGELO PATRI.
WHATS the matter?"

/ ~ 3AEh ~ tiIC
" Nothing now. We just had to
fish Jimmie out of the cistern. He
isn't hurt, just wet"
! There. That child will be the
death of me, and himself, yet. If
have told. him once I have told him
thousand times to keep off that
cistern. But 60 he must and now he's
half drowned"
Hes all right. Just little fright
ened and chilly Grandma put him
right to bed rather than take the
chance Of sending him home wet.
There is nothing to worry about"
Until next time. He'll go again
and fall in again. and that time
won't be so lucky. What I am to do
with a child who won't heed what is
told him is more than can see His
father will just have to attend to him.
That's ALL"
He is not likely to fall in again.
He learned all about cisterns in one
gulp. They will be safe for him for
the rest of his life. Experience is the
teacher that is thorough and merci-
less. Beside her anything we can do
in the teaching field is amateurish
| in the extreme.
To be sure, it is highly expensive
teaching, but that cannot be helped.
| And many times the lesson is not
worth the cost. But again we cannot
| help it. Experience is the hand
maiden of life; no other force can
equal her, or change her ways.
Why don't children heed what they
are told? For the same reason that
the rest of us turn deaf ears to
earnest teaching. We are individual
lists by nature and insist upon seeing
and feeling and suffering for ourselves.
We are happy under no other condi-
tion. Children are strongly individ-
ualistic. They want to try life for
themselves, and often they do. Some
times they succeed, sometimes not, but
| always they enjoy trying.
If all the boys who were forbidden
to go to the swimming hole had
obeyed, who would have learned to
swim? If all the children whos were
told not to climb, not to touch, not to
I
make a noise, obeyed to the letter
Of the law, who would have grown
up?
Too much telling, warning, COM
manding, does not work. One must
always leave margin for the self
directing child to move about in. II
one is wise that margin is as safe
as humanity possible. That saves the
telling and the commanding for the
emergencies. Wise parents and teach
ers provide for these by training the
child in experiences that make emer-
| gencies rare and commands rarer.
The important point here is that the
children are trained to trust the judg-
ment of their guardians and follow
their lead.
II experiences in obedience makes
them happy. If it lets them play in
safety and with a feeling of freedom,
they are being trained to meet emer-
gency wisely. But just telling, and
retailing. without careful, painful
thinking in relation to why and what
and when, does not work.
