! MAbEL-hOIh JAChOON
/ had just finished washing the
I dinner dishes one evening. On my
way through the dining room to
attack the basket of mending await
ing me, l saw my small son, Rich
ard, sitting at the table. His arith-
metic book and tablet were open in
front of him and there was pencil
in his hand, but he wasn't putting
down any figures. He looked dis
couraged, l thought. He probably
didn't like arithmetic any better
than l did at his age. l bent over
and pressed a light kiss on the
nape of his neck. Saying nothing,
/ went on to my mending.
Several weeks later l was sur
prised and touched TO have Richard
say to me, Mother, you remember
that night l was trying to study my
arithmetic and you came by and
stopped and kissed me on the back
of my neck? You didn't say a
word, but after that, l just started
in on those examples and finished
them without stopping. And before,
they had seemed SO hard. l got
perfect on them. too"
1T had been such little, natural
thing for me TO do and l had for
gotten it. Now his words made me
feel humble and gave me food for
thought. 1t made ME resolve to
watch for occasions when an en-
couraging word, smile or touch
was needed.
How quickly words of reproof
come to our lips! Do we ever let
slip an opportunity to reprove?
1t is, of course, because we want
our children to be pretty nearly
perfect and feel that if we do not
call to their attention every lapse
from the standard of behavior we
have set for them. they will take
advantage of it. But this reiter-
ated faultfinding is apt to degen-
crate into nagging and is sure to
be either resented or ignored.
Let us try to substitute a positive
attitude toward our children in this
respect. Let us be on the watch
for times when we can commend .
actions and not take the perform
ance of duties so much for granted. |
Il liked the way you did that,

nice since you have busted it," will

She will feel like singing. as did

forms her tasks.

RADIO TAKES THE RAP

The. supreme Court Of the United
States in a decision handed down
a few days ago said that the power
of Congress to license radio broad
casting gives the Federal Com
munications Commission the right
TO regulate the entire business con
duct of all brOadcasting chains and
stations. The decision is held as
another danger to the freedom OF
the press.
Radio is in strait jacket. and
the chains and stations as they
now exist are held to constitute
monopolies. The theory of the ra-
dio case is very much like the case
against the Associated Press. New
sOcialistic theories are challenging
freedom of all forms of cOmmuni-
cation.
