Your Child Today
Mother LOUe
Should Not
Be OUerdOne
BY DAVID TAYLOR MARkE
AP Newsgeatures


Juniors interests must not be
allowed to center in the mother
alone, for this retards growth, says |
Homer Lane, specialist in child
psychology.
Lane, who introduced progress
i've education into England, died In |
1925, but his Talks To Parents and !
Teachers" were recorded by faith |
full followers and now are publish
ed by The Hermitage Press in New
York.
Mother. says Lane, is the source
of the first and greatest and most
intense of baby's pleasures, but
in the natural growth Of interests
the monopoly of this first interest
has to be broken down. He writes:
IF this is not done, If the child
is too much made a plaything or
too much petted, or kept in con-
slant memory of the breast by the
use of a "soother, then all wish
will become fixed on mother and
accumulate round her, and there
can be no true growth"
With too much dependence on
mother goes an equal degree of
irritability against mother, he says.
This later will be Tepressed into
the unconscious mind, but it will
be dominant motive of adult life.
1t is constant problem to decide
how much to coddle a baby, how
much to help him to be independ-
ent. he says.
The great principle is to make
the wrong thing easy for the child
to do and the right thing difficult,
as ii is the fighting against diff
culties which charms the child.
The habit of thumb-sucking for
example, often has been rendered
permanent by tied sleeve or a
glove or alum, or some other de-
vice to make the habit difficult;
for as soon as it is made difficult
it is made desirable,
Equally damaging, continues
Lane, is the mother who looks for
love, sympathy and unselfishness
from young child Real altruism
does not develop until the age of
loyalty; the baby is the perfect and
perfectly natural egoist
The small child's love is all de-
manding, not giving; there is no
service in his love. He will treat
his mother as his ball; he throws
the ball up and it comes down. and
he thinks it comes down because
he makes it do so. In the same
fashion, when he behaves in GER
tain way to his mother, and she
does something in return, it is
not love for her which he feels; he
only wants certain reaction pro.
duced in her by himself.
Lane cites the case of the mother
who thought her duty was to put
virtues into her small boy. so she
began to teach him to be unselfisf
and loving to her When at play
she would interrupt him, if she die
not see any dignity in the play
Then came second baby and sht
neglected him. He showed his dis
like for the newcomer, so the mo
ther redoubled her affection TO
the new baby and hoped the eide
would learn his duty. But he mad
several attempts to kill his bro
ther and also developed variOu
Obsessional acts.
The governing principle. in tn
treatment of infancy, conclude
Lane, should be the knowledg
that no child is just piece o
animal mechanism; he has a high
ly complex personality. 1t must b.
allowed to develop. to help brinl
out the best adult of the future il
him.

stood that, strictly speaking, old

sidered a capital asset.
Anyway. Mr.. Clemmer reported,

Teachers Serve on Juries

The Washington branch of the
American Association Of Univer-

of Education to adopt a policy to
permit teachers to perform jury
duty. x
School officials said teachers
have been encouraged to ask to
be excused from jury duty on the
theory that they should not inter-
rupt one public service for an
other. Until this year, teachers
paid for their substitutes If they
were absent, it was pointed out.
A sick and emergency leave
plan now is in effect and teachers
need not pay for the substitutes.
but the Board Of Education has
not recognized jury duty as COW
cred by the plan.
The AAUW chapter said that
"juries in the District should no
