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 ■ iL + gr f\\~P • <5 0- J / \7p A Harmless Bitter “Medicine” to Add 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 Jm Consider the Motive and the Tempta 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.

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.
