Whether discipline is a naughty
word, q harsh word meaning bru-
tality or punishment. or a word
which means strength Of charac-
ter, honesty, integrity and Or
Iderliness of ones personal life,
depends entirely on the indi-
lvidual.
One cannot be sure what
meaning the author of Parent
hood Without Hokum" wishes
to leave with the reader. How
ard Whitman is caustically criti-
cal Of the experts" of the past
l. 20 years and of the "hokum'
which he seems to attribute to
them. It must be remembered
however, that many of those
same experts of 20 years ago are
also experts today.
How is one justified in being
so critical of the concepts OF
I20 years ago and so accepting
of the concepts of today? Twenty
years from now our present-day
concepts may also be outmoded

of the child and the future still
has much to reveal, particularly
in the area of the emotions.
Concepts Hard to Put Over
Today it appears that be-
havior problems in the child
not suffering from organic
brain disease are due to emo
Itional forces which are some
times described as hostility. ag-
gression, love. hate. fear OF
ANXIETY. But how does the pro-
Ifessional person get parents to
understand such concepts? How
can meaningful ideas be brought
Ito the average parent without
stirring up resistance, doubts or
criticism of the experts?
Even If the parent "knew all
the answers" 1t would still be
emotionally very difficult fol
him to follow out the plar
he had laid out for himself and
his children. For vice is not
born of ignorance nor virtue
born of knowledge. AS Shake

Recent recognition Of the

More than half the analysts

prohibitions must be backed up
by discipline"
Here we clearly see discipline
as an ingredient of love. This
has been q focal point Of con-
fusion during the no-discipline
era. Some very starry-eyed
theorists reasoned that parents
who were inclined to restrain
and restrict the freedom Of their
children didn't really like their
children very much.
Thanked for Disciplining
I wonder what they'd think OF
the father in New York who said
to me, II have two sons in col
lege right now, and believe me
disciplined them when they were
young. Sometimes hated to dc
it and felt it would pe much
easier to let them get away with
it. But I'm glad I stuck to it

They still remember when I used
to say, 1T would be a lot easier
to spoil you-but that would be
the most disloyal thing I could
do'."~
You have heard that "Spare
the rod and spoil the child
comes from the Bible. But what
the Bible actually says is even
more insightful, more penetrat-
ing than that. In Cleveland
Rabbi Philip Horowitz gave me
a transliteration of the Original
Hebrew of Proverbs XIII. "a

like to crack down on their
children, nor to give vent to
parental vengeance. It springs
wholly from a rediscovery of
the needs Of children. It is for
the children's benefit.
Psychiatrists today recognize
that children without discipline
are insecure and emotionally un-
stable. They do not know when
they are on safe ground. when
they are doing what is expected
of them or when they are break
ing the rules; they do not know
how to win praise and approval
and they cannot even get the
joy of mischief by breaking the
rules once in a while.
The adult often states his own
need for security in the words
Il want to know where I stand" "
so do children.
A world OF Dangers
The child's world is full of
dangers-the hot stove, the cars
on a busy street, an unpredict-
BILE cat or puppy, the danger of
breaking something valuable, of
making someone angry, and,
of course, the danger of getting
hurt. Discipline is to a great
extent a protection from dan
gers.
In a report from the Child
Study Center at Yale University,
DR.. Katherine M. Wolf declared
"The growing human being
finds himself confused and in
secure if the adults closest to
him do not help him to antici-
pate these dangers, ii they do
not warn him against exposing
himself to them. Children reason
that people who love them will
not let them get hurt: therefore
they doubt their parents love

themselves were in a perpetual
state Of black-and-blue posterior
While it is doubtful that the
woodshed ever was as busy a
place as it is made out to be, the
revolt against it was ardent and
its defeat total. In testimony
before the Senate subcommittee
on juvenile delinquency last
December, Juvenile Court Judge
William G. Gardiner of St
Petersburg. Fla, described the
new trend which emerged as
follows:
1.-THE question Of discipline has
been de-emphasized by the child
psychologists upon the theory
that the restraint and discipilin-
ary restriction placed upon the
child's emotion Of self expression
destroys the personality of the
child, causing the child to be-
come frustrated and emotionally
disturbed"
Even Police Inundated
When I talked with him later
Judge Gardiner gave an example
of how far the no-discipline
trend had come. 1--WE even had
our police intimidated by the
youngsters here" he said. lone

to turn over q police car-and
the police were afraid to do any
thing about it. They were COM
pletely confused by a new juve-
nile law which said police weren't

Judge Gardiner himself never
quite bought the new philosophy
He agreed with sociologists that
the main purpose of a juvenile
court should be treatment. But
he had his own idea of what
treatment should be. In a crisp
motto. he summed 1t Treat

Dear Editor:
I am thoroughly in accord

ticle about Parenthood.
Child psychologists, generally
have never advocated freedom
from all controls. On the con-
trary, freedom within limits
has been the rule. After all
we all recognize that the child
