answer to Mrs. T. w. L., Washing
ton, about fluffy rice I offer the
following advice from my Filipino
cook, Ruf1no Mendoza OF Manila,
pre-Pearl Harbor. F
First be sure the water is boiling
hard, add rice (Which has been well
washed in cold water in colander or
sieve) very slowly, cups boiling
water to l cup of rice. Use deep
saucepan and use 8 teaspoons OF
salt in the water The water must
be kept boiling, so add rice very
slowly. I do a teaspoonful at a
time. Do not stir rice. Boil from
20 to 30 minutes until rice is entirely
soft, when tried in a teaspoon be-
tween fingers.
Drain into sieve or colander
Wash with hot running water. Cover
with clear dish towel or cloth. Set
over hot water to separate the
grains. If water is very hard add

Then there is another kind of fear
that parents breed unintentionally-
a fear caused by their AMBITION
FOR THEIR CHILD TO SHINE. 1t
is very hard on child to be ex-
pected to be best" Usually this
reaches its peak in the parents when
the child begins school. but some
parents begin to exert this sort OF
pressure even earlier, wanting their
children to be the best-dressed and
best-mannered, and SO forth.
Children who feel the pressure Of
living up to impossibly high stand
ards of cleanliness. speech. or other
matters that betray their parents
desire to SHOW off" their youngsters
show fear, often not in the obvious
ways, but by their nervous habits.
Closely allied to the desire to
have their children shine is the
dangerous practice Of talking about
WHAT PEOPLE WILL THINK"
Many people have suffered hamper
ing fears all their lives because OF
early repressions by parents who
themselves were overcautious and
fearful lest their actions be criticized.
INDEPENDENCE OF THOUGHT
SHOULD BE ONE OF THE
CHILD'S RIGHTS, as little inter-
fered with as possible. Confidence
In ones own good judgment can
grow only in an atmosphere free
from overmuch concern about criti-
cism.
Any situation in which a child
feels inadequate is likely to pro-
duce fear. Being separated from
mother in crowded store is some
thing that cannot be guarded
against completely, for instance,
but this will have little effect on
the child who feels basically secure.
Among methods that are good in
dealing with fear, building up a
child's self-confldence holds first
place when the fear is one that can
be overcome by teaching some habit
that actively combats 1t. Thus, q
child who is afraid of physical hard
