Disciplined
Child Not
A Robot
Well.Behaved Pupil
Works in Harmony
With the Others
BY ANGELO PATRI.

The first question a young teacher
asks is. How can I discipline these
| children? How can I make them
behave?"
That question rises out of a mis-
taken notion of what discipline is.
The notion common in schools is
that discipline means making chill
dren do what the teacher wants
them to do, when she wants it, as
she wants it. Real discipline, the
only kind worth having, is the self
control of a pupil who wants to do
his best work under the conditions
he meets. The two points of view
must be harmonized if there is to
be worth while discipline and work
in the school.
Small children must learn the
technique of school behavior. They
have to learn to work together, to
follow directions, to stand when it
is time to stand and to sit when
it is time to sit. The little ones
have to learn the meaning of a
time for everything. That is a
form of important school disci-
pline that must be taught and
learned early, when the children
are at the right stage of develop
ment to use it to their satisfac-
ton. The first-graders love to
stand, face, and march to orders;
love to sing in concert; delight in
quick, massed action.
This stage passes and the school
routine should recognize that and
adjust to it. Gradually the child
takes over his routine, takes con-
troll of his activities, so that by the
time he is ready to enter high
school he is fairly able to 60 alone.
Even then he is going to need a
bit of guidance, but it should be
guidance, not domination.
Some teachers, parents included,
make the mistake of skipping the
first degree of discipline They do
not understand that little child
must have leadership and guild
ance and authoritative control to
enable him to find his way about
without too much waste Of energy
and too much habit loss. They
have an idea that to allow a child
to 60 his way untended is to al
low him the highest possible privi-
lege and self-expression. They for
get that the first requisite in that
situation is possession of a self
worth expressing. That kind of
self must be developed under dis
cipline.
How does one know a disciplined
child when he sees one? Some do
not. Some still believe that the
silent, speak-when-spoken-to, 60
when-called child is disciplined.
He is not. He is dormant child
| moving in another's mind, under
another's power. Kept in this state
too long he will never come to his
estate, the exercise of his mind as
a free spirit.
The disciplined child is one who
works purposefully, without waste,
without noise, in harmony with
those about him. He moves easily
about the business of the day. He
| asks questions about what interests
| him and his interests are worth
while. He looks people frankly in
the face and has respect for their
feelings and opinions. He yields
place when it is necessary, lends a
hand when he sees it needed, takes
responsibility when it is offered him.
He is a person in his own right
while recognizing the rights of
others.
That kind of child develops un-
der the right conditions. He is not
the outgrowth Of orders, commands
and punishmentS.

are very much in the picture ano
another favorite is the bare yoke
idea filled in with tulle, lace or silver
mesh. Jewel embroidery is another
fashion note which is often repeated
in a tiny cap, very close fitting
Peaked headdresses of the same
fabric as the gown carry out the
STORY book" feeling, with wells flow
ing from the peaks.
To form q background that will
not detract from the brides regal
splendor, attendants gowns are de-
signed simply, but nonetheleSS at
tractively. Most of them follow the
the elaborate fabrics and adornment
of the principal characters dress. The
most interesting part of the brides
maids gowns are the autumn colors
OF sage green. copper rose and other
muted tones which may be repeated
in the bouquets of autumn flowers
and leaves. We particularly like
velveteen which is displayed to best
advantage in these shades. And
please select gowns for your at
tendants that they will be able to
wear afterWard for dinner and dane
ing-not one that will hang in the
closet as an expensive memorial to
your day.
Detailing on the new wedding
gowns is very interesting. Lacy,
ruffied petticoats peep out from
under bouffant skirts, lace trim on
either short or long sleeves appears
often, and there are other touches
which give the appearance of care
full, tedious work and make your
formal dress masterpiece that
you'll want to put away as an heir
loom. Of course, if you're budget
minded, there are many styles which
may be altered slightly to form an
evening gown later on. In fact,
most of the less expensive styles
are designed with this future pur-
pose in mind.
If your choice is a semiformal
wedding you'll select a dress with
high or a medium low neck, long or
short sleeves and short train, in
white or pastels. Finger-tip or
shoulder length veil, gloves if you
like, small bouquet or prayer book

Dear Miss Dix: I am a young
professional man, engaged to marry
a girl much better off financially
than I an. When I met her, was
impressed with her expensive car.
her furS, jewels and so forth, and !
liked her personally, too, but I know
that if she had been poor / would
not have given her second thought.
Do you think I will be happy if I
marry her? My friends say that she
is only bird in gilded cage and
that I should marry some sweet girl
who has little or less than I have
Do you think it is good idea for a
poor boy to marry a rich girl?
WONDERING LAD.
AAswer-No, I don't. I think no
other marriage has as little chance
of success as that in which the wife
holds the purse strings. and that no
other man gets SO richly punished
as the one who sings against love
by marrying a girl for what she has
instead of what she is. 1t reverses
the law of nature for the wife to be
the provider and the husband the
dependent. No matter how kind and
generous the woman he has married
is no man can have her dole out
money to him without a sense of
degradation. Nor can he keep from
writhing under the half-veiled con-
tempt he sees in the faces of all he
meets who regard him as nothing
but a parasitic rich woman's pet,
who rates along with her poodle.
To begin with, it is fatal thing
for a man to marry without love,
because all the circumstances of his
life tend to make him critical of his
wife and focus his attention upon
her shortcomings.
Moreover, in addition to the i'm
perfections that all wives have, the
rich girl contributes still more draw
backs to the problem of how to be
happy though married. Her money
makes her independent, so she can
snap her fingers in her husbands
face and tell him where he can go
if he doesn't like what she does.
OF course, this isn't always the
case. There are girls who have had

is in order. You may wear your
going away suit, of course. In the
evening, an informal wedding dress
should be evening length with sleeves
and conservative neckline. A small
bouquet or corSage is correct.
And though it sounds too prosaic
for words after all this description
of grandeur, there are few items
that we'd like to mention as an aid
to prospective brides. First of all,
a liquid lip coloring that absolutely
refuses to leave smear all over
the groom after he imparts that all
important kiss at the altar. This
coloring is available in pale shades
that are best with wedding gowns,
and it's marvellous in that you retain
your lip coloring even after all the
affectionate embraces at the recep-
ton. CMost brides wish that the
guests would wear it, too
Then, because we've had so many
queries from brides-to-be about hose
that will wear well, particularly in
the feet, we'd like to mention
new stocking with a nylon covered
elastic toe which has just been
introduced. The whole knit-in toe
section is of fine nylon covered
thread, six times reinforced. The
elasticity yields to the movements
of the foot without losing its shape,
and you may rest assured that your
toe won't come poking through
your stockings at the wrong mo-
ment. This very excellent feature
is a real help to brides to whom
such an occurance would be nothing
less than catastrophe. All popular
colors are available in this mex
pensive chiffon stocking which offers
complete freedom, excellent fit and
security from disaster.

OUR SCOUTS SUGGEST:
A new lamp Of Limoges china, in
soft gray green is decorated with
a graceful spray of flowers in a
paler tone. The matching silk
shade also bears a similar spray. If
green does not fit with your deco
ration scheme, the lamp also comes
in lovely shade of blue -.
A metal cream separator assures
you of getting just the cream from
the bottle. An amount as small as
a teaspoonful may be lifted with
this ingenious little gadget. Fine
for use in making baby's formula if
1t calls for dash" of cream. .
Lock away your little treasures
in one of the secret" wooden boxes
from the Orient. 1t takes plenty of
work, or inside knowledge, to find
the key, and then there's more
puzzling to locate the keyhole. The
boxes have pictures of dogs, or
Oriental landscapes on top.
French fried and shoestring pota-
toes are easily prepared with a new
metal vegetable cutter that slices
them into the proper size strips. :.
For those last-minute forgotten
items, there's a "catchalI' bag that
will prove a blessing when leaving
for trip. A canvas one is trimmed
in leather, and can be neatly folded
into a case of its own material
when not in use. 1t comes in vari-
GUS sizes.
Polished horn drinking cups are
delightful for the country house
They may be obtained in cocktail
. highball or liqueur size.
Mint candies are decorated with
little sugar flowers in a variety of
colors, to lend an added touch to
your tea or dinner table. -.
Mahogany wall brackets with
lyre-shaped backs are nice to hang
on either side of a fireplace. Some
come with copper holders contain
ing wire mesh to hold cut flow
ers.
Bathrooms would gain by the ad-
dition of milk glass bottles painted
with flowers in soft tones. Others
have stage coach and four horses
done in sepia on three sides. -.
A colored leather utility" case
cor tains sun glasses, a comb and q
nailfile. Just one of those little
items that makes all the difference

the misfortune to have been born
millionaireSseS who have hearts and
souls and brains. just as poor girls
have, but, even so, when the man
loves the woman honestly and truly
for herself alone, her money nearly
always destroys him.
I know, for example, a case in
which a fine rich girl married an
equally fine boy who was Just be-
ginning to make a brilliant success
in his profession. The boy was
loath to enter into the marriage,
because he was ambitious and inde-
pendent and wanted to succeed on
his own, but the girl agreed to live
on his earnings, and they started of
happily in a moderate priced little
fiat.
But the girl, used to cars ard

of her husband. should we live like
paupers when we have thousands of
dollars piling up every day in the
bank? Why shouldn't we travel
while we are young and see the
world? What's the good of you
sticking to your old profession when
there is no need for it? Why do you
love your own independence more
than you love me?"
And in the end she won out, as
the persistent wife always does, and
now they live in splendor he hates,
and he broods bitterly over just
being a rich woman's husband in
stead of a famous man on his own

NIT that slack suit with the jacket
worn outside the trousers is one OF
the most unflattering outfits ever
conceived by a designer.
This outfit reveals all such COM
mon, concealable defects as bony
elbows, round shoulders, scrawny
necks and paunchy midsections. 1t
makes any boy look shorter and less
athletic.
Its only virtue, apart from its
comfort, is its cheapness But when
you wear it on date, it labels you
as just as cheap as your outfit. If
we were q girl with any spunk
and boy showed up to take us out
on a date in one of these modified
meal sacks, we'd tell him to 60
home and get dressed.
But unfortunately, too many girls
have little room to talk because they
wear equally inappropriate clothes
on the street. We saw one horrible
example that same Saturday eve
ming when the slack suits got us
down. This misguided maiden was
clad in a two-piece play dress. Not
only was the top backless, but ii
failed to make contact with the
skirt by a full 4 inches. leaving a
strip Of uncovered skin stretching
entirely around her equator.
Now. we don't object to exposure
The same amount of hide protrud-
ing from a bathing suit or an even
ing gown would draw from us not
one word of criticism. What we
are protesting against is the COM
plete lack of savvy shown by a girl
who wears such an outfit on the
street. She simply is saying to all
onlookers, I'm just a simple-minded
lass with no taste and no sophisti-
cation. I dress this way because ]

in a position to win the war overnight, and
because we have wanted to perfect our own
defenses in as short a time, it has been hard
to recognize the unacceptable fact that industry
as a whole cannot be regeared for the job
in a day or even in months. Hence we have
criticized the government, complained of in
dustry's inefficiency, and promiscuously cen
sured everybody who occupies an important
place under the defense program.
It is to be expected that Mr.. Roosevelt will
have information to give us in his radio adj
dress that will 60 far toward restoring sane
thinking and ease the distress of many critics,
1t is not to be expected that he will minimize
the emergency one iota. If anything he will
probably indicate that it is greater than many
of us have previously realized. But at the
same time we may be sure that he will not
minimiz the work that is being done to meet
it and triumph over it.
OF all the "chats'' the President has had
with the people, this one is likely to prove
the most important, the most enlightening,
and, we believe, the most heartening.

Churchill's Warning

Winston Churchills appeal to the italian
people to cast off the yoke of Mussolini's
dictatorship and prevent the complete down.
fall Of their nation, is adroitly timed.
With the Greeks closing in on Valona, and
the British pounding Bardia into submission,
the British premier used the best moment OF
the campaign to warn the Italian people that
u Duce's African empire is about to- be torn
ITO shreds and ~tatters," and by the same
token, that his discouraged forces cannot hope
to Withstand the onslaught in Albania.
That Italy is yet ready to overthrow Mus
solini is not certain. But it is obvious that
Churchill's address, which was repeated time
and time again so that no Italian with access
to a radio could well avoid hearing it, cannot
fail to stimulate thought of revolt-and nation
al salvation-among the masses.
In the final analysis it may be found that
his words are as convincing as British guns
in Africa and Greek bayonets in Albania.
