I remember - that wheii I was a
small child my nurse- frequently
read to me from a book designed at
once to amuse the young and to Im
press upon them, the need .for .obedi
ence. ' ' , . - .
Thero vns the , story , of .little
Helen left alone' with a box .of
matches' which she ' had been told
never to , touch. . But ' she played
witli thenu . ,;' . -
Her dress caught .fjre and r her
parents returned to find only a pair
of small " red' slippers' and .the cat
-eeplng pitifully beside a litle pile
of smoking ashes.
Then there was the story of .the
little boy who wotfld not cut his
fingernails.. They grew and grew
until his mother called the doctor
who came with a pair of long scis
sors and cut his fingers off. The
final illustration portrayed the un
fortunate child holding up 'the
stumps of Ills hands.
There was still another one about
a little boy who .would not eat his
soup. Since nothing availed to
make him mend his ways he grew
thinner and thinner until at last he
died. His parents had . a soup
toureen with an Instructive . legend
engraved upon bis tombstone ..
These perhaps are not ? unfair
samples of the type of stories which
a generation ago was ' thpught
wholesome ' moral food for ' tho
young. 1 '
Happily modern parents have
discarded .such stories from the'
nursery shelf." They ,kQV' itbhtt,
'hrhile thoir Influence '..upon 'the
child's conduct1 is nil Xhpy yt may,
have a Very real and undesirable hi-'
f luence Upon his emotions. ' ;
It Is not good; to fill the child
with fear and horror even with a
praiseworthy end in view. ' .Whatever
tendencies .toward - unstablll'ty ' the
child already possesses are sure 'to
be reenforced by such experiences. -;
. CHILDREN'S FIGHTS ;
A kind woman walking along the
street saw a big boy fighting, a , small
one.'The victim, was crying pitifully
and making attempts to protect' him
self. ' " . ' .
Indignant, the'woman rushed for
ward and pulled, the two' combatants
abart. "What do vou'mean by hlttihtr
someone half your leeV" "she asked
wie larger ooy; angruy.', -
"Aw, you Jceep quiet. I guess hp's
my brother and iVcan'hit; him if !

: VY.es,:go pn and..ieave us alone!"
;the yoUnger one calmed in through
his sobs.' ."It's .none of your' business."
; The woman went, : and the ' story
teaches a; lesson. , -'
It is always doubtful wisdom to
lnterferoiln children's quarrels unless
you know just .. what the - circum-'
swnces really are. : jsven .tne bikuh pi
a big boy . hitting a llitle one Is riot
offhand sufficient grounds for hasty
Intervention.. ....
Whenever children - can manage
jtheir own affairs and give-and take
their own lickings ft Is a mistake for
an adult to interpose a higher moral
code; "'' '- - " ' .
' A - child learns nothing so thor
oughly as what he learns for himself.
' A casual observer has no way , of
knowing chat what appears aa an
obviously unjust battle .between two
children is not a very good happon
ing .for both. ' .The 'working out of
antagonisms and aggressiveness, the
Royalties involved cannot he Judged
on the surface. ' '
Unless there Is danger of really se
.vere physical hurt, it Is a safe rule;
not to interfere with quarrels.
1 One must be a parent, a teacher, a
neighbor or 'a friend of long stand

to attempt to, dispense Justice.
