IF & taste for a low degree of civilization and a somewhat barbaric type of mind, then we Georgians of the second decade of the twentieth century must be going through a phase of reversion to prim itive type.

A direct command, sharply given, is likely to arouse the spirit of a child and cause him to refuse to obey. A good many people believe that a child ought to obey instantly, unquestion- ingly, willingly. Willingly is right, I believe, but neither of the others, save {in_very rare cases. | "very little children are dependent | upon the will of others, and thelr wis- dom in exerting their will, no less, 1f in those early days the child is taught | by experience that what he is asked to do and what is done to him is kind and wise and good, and results in his happiness, he is set for willing obedi- ence. He trusts the one who directs him and has no fear. All of us, and that includes little children, like to feel that we count. We like to feel that other people stop to consider our feelings and our com- fort before doing something that touches us. If we feel that they have left us out of consideration we are likely to resent it, because we feel that they have deliberately said: “You do not matter. With me lies power and authority and all the dignity that goes with them. You go get a reputa- tion ‘before you speak up here.” Even little children have that feel- ing, although they have not the lan- guage to express it. When that feel- ing of resentment rises, even when there is a hint of dominance in the tone and manner of the guardian, the child is very much inclined to say: “No. Here I stand. I do count.” Then there is a fight and the child for that time is worsted. But only for that time. Nothing smolders so long as resent- ment against an act that makes folks feel their littleness, their helplessness, their dependence on some on who would rather push than lead them. It | lies smothered for years only to burst into fury at some unexpected and most_disastrous time. It poisons the | growth of a,child at its heart. It stunts them physically, mentally and | morally and. if T knew any other way, I'd put that in, too.
