ANSWERS TO QUERIES
From Mrs. F. NJ. M, WASHINGTON }
To Mrs. j. E. p, in answer to her
query as to how to keep her 3-year-
old in his yard: I would like to
suggest that children are not pets
to be kept in a cage, be it the best
equipped yard or bare box. Chill
.dren are intelligent, gregarious,
curious little people with a natural
urge for self education and are as
subject to boredom as a thinking
human being of any other age. You
cannot treat child like monkey
In the zoo without reaping trouble
now and (most of alb later. That
her 3-year-old breaks out of his
yard is easy to understand; he wants
company, the fascination of unex-
pected things to see and play with,
sights and sounds to initiate and
experience over and over when he
is alone. There is so much to learn
and enjoy and so little time to do it
In.
AS for a solution, I can only cite
my own case. Both my children
now 3 and 81 were trained very
strictly in only one rule when they
were barely 2. They were and are
NOT to step off the curb into the
street. The first few months I
made limit (from in front of the
house to the corner) so that I could
watch and punish the slightest in
fringement on that one rule "a
hard spanking for so much as one
foot in the gutter. Then the limits
were gradually widened until soon
they had the run of the whole block.
They have never broken that rule,
play happily all day long with their
little friends on our block and have
a wonderful time in their play
mates back yards, in their own, or
on the sidewalk, sharing each others
playthings and playrooms about
equally. This, of course, brought
me in close contact with the other
mothers and we watch over one
another's children as a matter of
course and keep a telephone check
on what is going on all over the
block. If there are any difficulties
we report and solve them together
but nothing serious has ever come
up, though naturally enough there
are quarrels, things get lost or cuts
and bruises do happen in the course
OF their exciting young lives. How
ever, I am sure there could not be
found much happier, well-adjust-
ed group of children anywhere.
If your space and patience is not
exhausted I would like to answer
another query very briefly. To the
reader who would like to know why
breading comes off while frying, it is
because it is too thick. I had that
trouble, too, until I added a few
tablespoons of water to the egg be-
fore crumbing.
QUERIES?
(From Mrs. L. H.. Wdshington.)
Although I have been a constant
reader of the RICH for over year
have just recently moved to Wash
ington. I really feel as though
had many good neighbors here
already!
Could some of you more ex-
perienced housewives help me solve
these problems?
How can stains from a coffee pot
be removed from white dish towels?
Bleaching and boiling have pro-
duced no results.
How can the dark stain caused
by boiling eggs be removed from an
aluminium pan? The old method of
cooking tomatoes in the pan was
no help.
