Professor Asks for a Scientific
Method of .Punishment.
Efficiency expert replies
f
But His Plan of Correcting the Child
by the “Automatic, Reflex Meth
od of Nature” Won’t Al
ways Work.
1
By SIDONIE M. GRUENBERG.
A professor in a southern city, who
Is evidently not a specialist on chil
dren, writes to an “efficiency expert”
for information on the “scientific meth
od of punishing a child for misdemean
ors, such as theft, falsehood and dis
obedience.” He asks rather pathetical
ly, “Is there no sane middle course
' between the old-fashioned whipping
and the new-fangled, spineless idea
of nonpunishinent that makes the typi
cal American child either a mollycod
dle or a bully, according to tempera
ment?”
The expert replies by laying down
a principle: “The right way to cor
rect a child is by the automatic, re
flex method of nature. Every viola
tion of natural law carries with it a
natural penalty, which, through pain,
disgust or deprivation, teaches the
wrongdoer not to repeat his mistake.
. . . Each parental rule should be
based on some natural law, and the
natural penalty for transgression
should be discovered and applied.”
Now there is just enough truth in
this reply to make it sound right; and
there is just enough error in it to make
it misleading or dangerous. It is true
that the child learns from his mis
takes, that every unpleasant experi
ence teaches the lesson, “Don’t do that
again.” This is a “natural law,” and'
the application consists in establishing
unpleasant associations between the
actions we disapprove and certain con
sequences. This is the obverse of the
principle of “rewards,” namely, estab
lishing pleasant associations with the
approved acts.
But the fallacy in the alleged prin
ciple Is brought out by the expert’s
own illustration of how he would apply
it. He asks us to suppose that a boy,
'ffaving been told not to eat between
meals, disobeys the parental injunction
and Is seized with an attack of cramps,
The way to enforce obedience, says
the expert, is "not by administering
pain killer inside and a switch out
side —the usual inefficient method,”
hut hy allowing the transgressor to
suffer the “natural consequences” of
his misdeed, with frequent reminders
that he is getting what he deserves
for his disobedience. He recommends
also a harmless bitter “medicine” to
add to the child’s disgust, in order to
"intensify nature’s method of disci
pline.” “No coddling, no chastising,
but the immediate linking of cause and
effect in the mind of the child, and the
natural revulsion from a deed that pro
duces physical or mental pain; this
describes in brief the efficiency plan
of juvenile correction.”
To every experienced mother two
thoughts will instantly occur. Sup
pose the lad disobeys and gets away
without any cramp—having fortunate
ly a tough digestive system? And sup
pose, as sometimes happens, that a

to the Child’s Disgust.
child of the angelic, obedient kind gets
a violent cramp? One is tempted to
ask whether the expert knows any chil
dren, and whether he has tried out the
methods he recommends. It would
take a child of an unusually docile
and flabby mind to accept the doctrine
that the pain was the consequence of
disobedience, and a child as soft as
that is really no problem at all.
If we are concerned, in the supposed
case, with teaching the child to refrain
from food between meals, we should
see that he has plenty of wholesome
food for each meal, and that the meals
come with sufficient frequency. We
should see to it that he is spared the
temptation to eat when he should not
eat, and we should cultivate in him an
effective faith in our judgment as to
the best time for eating. But if we are
concerned with making the child obey
the proposed method will be equally
ineffective —or “inefficient,” if you like.
For the only lesson that a normal boy
can get from the association between
disobedience and “punishment” is the
lesson to avoid getting caught.
If we extend the principle of natural
penalties a little further we may see
its futility or even its viciousness. The
child that disobeys the order not to
cross the crowded street alone meets
the “natural" consequences of a direct
THE DOUCLaS ENTERPRISE. ” ,^raC’t?L | OltnjA.
physical altercation with an automo
bile. Undoubtedly the lesson is well
learned, hut it is much more expensive
than it need have been. The boys who
swim out beyond their fiepth have a
variety of opportunities to “learn.” If
one of them loses his head and drowns
he has but reaped the natural reward
of disobedience. If another loses his
head, but .s saved by a strong com
panion, be ia thoroughly scared, and
also learns a valuable lesson. If the
third, in the face of danger, musters
all his moral forces and calmly floats
until rescued, he has learned the best
lesson of all. Does it follow therefore
that we should give our orders and let
the children obey or not, trusting to
the “natural consequences” tc teach
them wisdom?
The efficiency man is right when he
says that we should concern ourselves
more with correction and discipline
than with punishment, and we must
be sure that the distinction we make
is more than verbal. There is a sane
course that avoids the brutal and un
discriminating whip, as well as the
other extreme of letting “nuture take
her course,” and that sane course is
certainly not to depend upon “natural”
penalties.
The fact is that there can be no
fixed rules for the discipline of chil
dren. Every offense is a new situa
tion ; every child presents a peculiar
combination of problems. Our meth
od of correcting will be influenced t>y
our attitude toward the child —wheth-
er we seek to impose our own more
or less arbitrary scheme of retributive
justice. But if we are sure that we

tion Rather Than the Consequences.
are seeking the child’s own good in
our discipline, and not merely giving
relief to our feelings, these few sug
gestions ought to prove helpful:
Never punish a child in anger.
Consider the motive and the tempta
tions rather than the consequence of
a deed.
Condemn the misdeed, but not the
child.
Make sure that the child under
stands exactly the offense with which
he is charged.
Make sure that the child sees the
connection between the offense and
the penalty that is imposed.
Never administer excessive or un
usual punishment.
Never exaggerate the magnitude of
a child’s offense.
PARROT GIVES FIRE ALARM
Cry of “Fire” Brings Help and Saves
the Building From De
struction.
The parrot owned by J. H. Webster
bears out the claim of its owner that it
is “some bird.” It undoubtedly pre
vented the building owned by Freeman
Rogers, and used to store yacht sup
plies, from entire destruction by fire.
Seeing the blaze coming from the
windows of the loft, the bird, which
had for a few days been on the house
boat of Mr. Webster in the vicinity of
the shop, called vehemently for help.
Cries of “fire” being heard by work
men nearby, they looked about to see
what had so excited Polly.
The fire was discovered, and with
some trouble extinguished. Mr. Rog
ers has the bird to thank that his
place of business was not wiped out
completely.—Noank (Conn.) Dispatch
New York Herald.
Up to Them.
Little James, aged six, had been
taught to pray each night for all his
relatives and friends, and consequently
the list had grown quite large. So one
night, when it came time for the cus
tomary prayers, he refused to say
them.
“Well, well, James!” snid his moth
er, “why don’t you say them ?' All good
little boys say their prayers.”
“Yes, but I’m too tired.”
“Oh, my, that’s no excuse. Come
now; that’s a good boy.”
“Well,” relented James, “I guess I’ll
have to. But, anyhow, I’m not going to
pray for everybody. I’m going to cut
a lot of ’em out. Some of ’em will
have to save themselves.”—Tombigbee
Clarion.
Curious Basque Language.
It is said that though the Basque
language, which is spoken in the Pyr
enees, is one of the most difficult of
all languages to acquire, the youngest
child conscious of his own thought,
can express himself perfectly In it.
It is averred that, In vigor and word
paintings this is the richest of all lan
guages. This may be partly due to
the fact that nouns, pronouns and ad
jectives change into verbs at will, and
verbs may be transformed into noum
and adjectives. Every part of speech
and even the letters of the alphabet
can be declined like nouns, and adjec
tives are conjugated like verbs.
TO DISGUISE MILK
MANY WAYS OF PREPARING IT
FOR CHILDREN.
Not All Youngsters Like This Most
Valuable of All Foods, and Here
Are Some Methods of Intro,
ducing It Into Diet.
How to introduce the necessary
quantity of milk into the diet of a
child who dislikes it is . problem which
confronts many mothers at this time
of year. Milk is such a perfect food
for children that it is always a pity
when it is not taken readily an' en
joyed, but with a little ingenuity, the
troqble usually may he overcome. The
best authorities on children’s diet con
sider a quart of milk day the prop
er allowance for a child past the third
year, this quantity to include milk
used in preparing food and that served
with cereals, as well as milk tuken
as a beverage.
Where a child shows a disinclina
tion to drink inilk, fancy colored
glasses with figures sketched on the
outride will often change the aspect
of things and distract the child’s at
tention. Sucking the milk through a
straw is another innocent trick by
means of which the desired quantity
Is absorbed. Cocoa, either hot or cold,
is another valuable means of intro
ducing milk into a child’s diet, as only
enough cocoa need be added to change
the appearance and flavor.
An excellent way of introducing milk
into a child’s diet is with vermicelli,
which in many families is considered
the nursery form of macaroni. In
stead of the familiar white sauce
served to adults the final cooking of
the vermicelli should be in milk and
slightly thickened. Milk should also
he used on finely chopped potato and
on any other vegetables where a
cieam sauce would ordinarily be
served.
Cereals cooked In milk Instead of In
water are practically the same In ap
pearance, though much more nutri
tious because of the milk absorbed in
the slow cooking. Halt milk and half
water may also be used, or the pre
liminary cooking can be done in water
and milk added to the cereal when
partly doue. Cereal puddings, either
hot or cold, also offer a wide range for
the attractive use of milk. The sim
plest of creamy rice puddings can be
completely changed in appearance by
the addition of cocoa stirred in while
the ingredients are being mixed.
An egg poached In milk and served
with a spoonful of thickened milk
poured over It on a slice of toast will
often he enjoyed by a child who re
fuses milk as a beverage. Another
excellent way of combining egg and
milk Is to beat an egg until light and
foamy, adding a scant half cupful of
milk and a few grains of salt. Pour
into a buttered ramekin and set in a
pan of boiling water either on the
stove or in the oven. Do not stir but
let it cook until thick and creamy.
Let the child cat it from the ramekin.
“Hodge Podge Pickle” Recipe.
One dozen cucumbers, sliced thinly;
one gallon shredded cabbage, four
onions, three teaspoonfuls salt, two
cupfuls white sugar, four red pep- !
pers, one-half pound dry mustard, one
ounce celery seed, one ounce white
and black mustard seed. Add enough
vinegar to mix thoroughly, nnd let
come to boiling point. Stir in mus
tard, which has been mixed with cold
vinegar. Boil 20 minutes; seal in jars
while hot. Excellent to serve with
meats.
Stuffed Egg Aurore.
These are made by removing the
yolks from hard-boiled eggs, and mix
ing them with a tablespoonful of fresh
cream, the same amount of fresh but
ter, English mustard, and a teaspoon
ful of minced tarragon leaves. The
mixture should be put through a fine
wire sieve, then into a pastry bag and
forced through a rose tuhe into the
halved whites of the eggs; each is
decorated with a star-shaped piece
of pimento and garnished with water
cress. They may be served in nests
of watercress. —Vogue.
Beef Relish.
Mix well together one quart of finely
chopped cabbage, one quart of chopped
boiled beef, two cupfuls of sugar, one
cupful of chopped onion, one cupful of
grated horseradish, one tahlespoonful
of salt and a small amount of cayenne.
Cover with cold vinegar and keep well
corked. This is a clqinge from the
familiar kinds of pickles kept on hand
by the careful housewife.
Tomato Savory.
Take one-half pound of tomatoes,
skin them, cut them in slices, put one
ounce of butter into a saucepan, add
the tomatoes, pepper and salt, nnd
cook them slowly about ten minutes,
then add the yolks of two fresh eggs.
Stir till the mixture is quite a thick
paste and serve it on little croutes of
fried bread.
Ingenious Tray Stand.
There is always more or less trouble
with an Invalid’s tray unless one hap

table. One woman pushed a drophead
sewing machine close to the bed,
turned the cover back over the bed,
nnd found that she had an excellent
stand for the tray.
Have Salt and Pepper Mixed.
It is a good idea to have a good
sized kitchen salt shaker filled with
a mixture of salt and pepper. This

INFANT** MORTALITY is something frightful. We can hardly realize that

they are fifteen 1

Drops, tinctures and soothing syrups sold for children’s complaints contain
more or less opium or morphine. They are, in considerable quantities,
deadly poisons. In any quantity, they stupefy, retard circulation and lead
