Reward and Bribery
Bv AnqeIo Pafri

fayorite show? Or granted some
coveted privilege? My vote is yes.
Goodness, effort, especially effort
that has been sustained and earnest,
should be rewarded promptly.
The idea of promptness is i'm
portant here. Children have not
the power to sustain an effort for
a long time. When he Is strong in
particular direction he works
without much effort, but when he
is not strong, and it is for those
we offer rewards usually, his period
of effort must be short in the be-
ginning and gradually heightened.
That is why it seems SO useless to
offer child reward if he reaches
high standard by the end of the
term. A term is too long for sus-
tanned effort. Bolster his strength
by setting him his task for a day,
then two days, and so on until he
goes by himself. Brief efforts,
prompt rewards work wonders.
Children need praise, encourage
ment and material praise in the
form of something the child's heart
Graves is the sort that reaches them
soonest and stays with them longest,
for they are children and still love
childish things.
Bribery? Not so long as there
is clear conscience between giver
and receiver. Rewards are for good
ness. God promises us Heaven, if
we are good, you know.

The Young Idea

The only way to be interesting
is to be sincerely interested in
others. There have been times
when that may have seemed hard
but it is a tried and true road to
social success. Philosophers, from
way-back-when, have voiced that
principle over and over again. And
notice that times out of 10 the
truly successful people in the world
are the type that listen as well as
they can converse.
You are really trying hard to
become popular. Maybe that is your
trouble. The thing that is done
with the least effort is the thing
that Is most appealing and natural.
Naturalness Is the secret of popu-
larity. For example, the girl who
comes to class all bedecked in her
latest sirenish date dress with lips
smeared with Delicious Apple Red"
could hardly be classified as a
natural" for anything. Yet you've
noticed that the compliment is paid
to the attractive girl who looks and
acts her age and is natural. So
what do you make out of that?
We've noticed that truly fine
manners seem to be on the wane
with the high school crowd. On
buses, streescars, and while walk
ing on the streets, teen-agers seem
to feel that the louder their actions
and words the more they are i'm
pressing every one. Times without
number we have heard mothers and
fathers and others discussing teen

age manners. Now It's said that
the day of chivalry is DER. Is it
really? Common courtesy and good
breeding are things that we all can
achieve if we try. And since when
has the time appeal on those traits
ever ended? We don't mean to
sound like preachers, kids, but the
younger generation has to help
itself get along in the same world
with the adults. Do you have adult
friends? Or are you the first to
leave the room when your parents
friends come in for the evening?
Now, we are not advising you to
stick around with them all night,
but, after all, a brief and gay Hello"
is refreshing whether addressed to
a school friend or to any one else,
older or not. Your MON and pop
are probably very proud of you.
Those are the moments when you
can justify their pride. And always
remember that the day will come
when you will be in your parents
shoes and your children will be
showing the same reaction to you.
Becoming an interesting person
can be achieved in various ways.

seldom interesting. See what makes

Dorothy Dix Says

Dear Miss Dix: Why do men hate
to confide in their wives? Why do
they object to answering questions?
I have been married for many years.
I love my husband very much and
am very happy, but I have never
been able to understand him. He
absolutely refuses to discuss his
business or financial affairs with
me. Why is this?
WONDERING
Answer.-f you had been married
to your husband for thousand
years you still couldn't understand
him, because no woman has ever yet
understood a man, nor has any man
ever understood a woman. God
made them that way SO that they
would always keep the other guess
ing, and so keep each other inter-
eSted.
There are many reasons why men
do not confide their business and
financial affairs with their wives.
Sometimes it Is because man Is
naturally secretive and can't bear to

you give the children stars?
That's bribery and it is wrong. We
should not train children to work
for stars. They get the idea that
they must be paid for doing what
is right. They should work because
it is right to work. They must do
right for rights sake. You're not
training character when you pass
out gold stars"
NO." said the first grade teacher
calmly. I'm rewarding character.
Good character must be rewarded.
When we learn in the first grade
that it pays to be good maybe we
will remember it when we graduate
into life. The people I see about
me look for rewards, and most OF
them get them"
This debate is an old one. Right
for rights sake is a noble idea.
1t is fine standard for human
ity and I for one hope that some
day we shall all achieve it, but q
little child does not know about
morality in the abstract and he
needs to become acquainted with

Tunic suits, in this same worsted

come in two-tone combinations,
such as dark and light gray-or

are smartly belted affairs, with flip

the coat. For the sake of both the
practicality, these
suits are a good buy. For practical

Gabardine, long a favored suit
material, has struck gold, so to
speak. Once this material was
thought the very thing for man
tailored, severe suits-but today the
possibilities of gabardine are put
into full play. In gorgeous colors,
it goes into fetching feminine suits
which go everywhere-even to

open up to any one. Sometimes it
is because men know that their
wives are bored to death when they
try to tell them anything about the
Office or their work.
Sometimes it is because the wife
is a blabber. Many time a man
has failed to put over big deal or
lost good job because he told the
firms affairs to his wife, and she
broadcast them all over the COM
munity. Also, many q man will not
discuss his financial affairs with his
wife because he doesn't want her to
know how much he Is making for
fear she will spend more money.
AS to why men object to answering
questions, that Is because they are
human, and every one of us resentS
being put through the third degree
more than anything else on earth.
If wife wants to find out anything
from her husband, don't prod him
with questions. Wait and he will
tell her In his own good time, but
she won't pry the information out
OF him.
