Nature has endowed children with an insatiable curiosity. It is through this curiosity that their minds develop. A great many children are met with snvbbing, are scolded and put off. The re ault is that when a boy leaves high school, at a time when his initiative should be in full swing. he {8 dull, listless, dependent and fearful. 2. Neglecting to study the child. The parent decides what his son ought to be and proceeds to train Rim accordingly. They would Make another child instead of ac vepting the one they have. 3. Failure to realize that childhood a distinct phase of growth. Frequently in an effort to give ® child happiness a parent brings disaster upon him by forcing him ahead of his years. A child 1s not @ little man. He is a poten tial man and must be allowed to develop rhythmically and in order. 4, Robbing a child of his leisure. A boy is lying on his back watching the clouds. His mother sees him and her consclence smites her. “He wm wasting his time. 1{ ought to make him go in and study his algebra.” He needs his extra time for cultivating his {magination. School hours are Jong enough. Study can be con- fined to them. 6. Nagging. ‘You are the size of your father and you act like a bab; says one parent. This was because the iad cried unexpectedly. ‘You great, lumbering calf—why don" you look where you are going. Qne must be very gentle and patient in correcting the young. Held your temper while he finds hile legs and arms. Exploiting a child for the parenis’ gain. This is as varied and wide- spread as the population of the world, This is practised by the rich and poor, by the intelligent and stupid. . Lying to children. “If you do that the bogy-man will get you."’ The child will soon kmow this ts not true, but th: harm has been done. He has learned to fear and to doubt. “At what age do parents begin to ‘snub’ their children?” 1 asked Mr. Patri, Principal Patri has keen, yrown eyes and when he speaks of children his face lights up with an unugual sympathy and appreciation of child-nature. “The moment a parent refuses “ta, answer the first questions a qhild lisps that parent is directly nubbing his child and refusing to give him information which the child needs, id Mr. Patri. “Even though a parent is not al- wiys able to answer the question he faust give the child some answer 6uctt as ‘We will hunt tt up’. ‘Wait afid’1 will find out.’ But to ignore a qitéstion, as many mothers and fathers do, 1s to drive away thought and fur- ther development. “fhe mother who tukes her sm woh or daughter shoppins must anster questions as the child asks them along the way. You see ch't- dren on their knees in trolley cars ooking out the window asking what this or that {s while mothers read a hook or look straight ahead with a ‘Don't bother me, now, I'll tell you vome other time.’ “When you speak of neglecting to etudy the child and say ‘Parents ‘would make another child instead of ‘lactepting the one they have’ what do you mean?” I asked Mr. Patri. “T mean that parents must study the child's natural bent,"" ¢ “red the Principal. ‘You can't mm a pro- fersional man out of the boy who has ‘@ mechanical turn of mind, and 'f Rirls or boys want to be artists let them experiment and see what they ean do.

That is why childhood is #0 long. Probably one of the reasons we 60 seldom hear of the prodigy in later life is because he “Uses un all his nervous energy and ‘has little power to recuverat ‘Tn elaborating upon robbing a child of its leisure, Principal Patri said: “It {s all wrong for parents to think that a. child must be studying or taking \ exercise or hard at play EB. the very child who seems idle and in- elinéd to waste his time is lly get Sting much valuable information out of fife and getting together his facts and peise for @ long, useful life, Tho en 81.9 n prodigte T said, Sometimes /AN DISFIGURED Are vou playing even Great ator.

Calling names, usually names which fit too well, is one of the worst sins parents, elders or teachers may commit a growing boy or girl,” In speaking of exploiting a child for the parents’ gain Mr. Patyi sald, Do not try to foree a child to recite or to ‘show oft’ before company. Not only will the company be relieved but this will spare many a child’s energy and nervous system. “In eegard to ‘ly: would you call fair story of Santa Claus w LIKE THAT. = to children,’ tales and the fibs?"

Heredity, adolescence and environ- ment 1 play their part in every child's life. But patient, understand- ing parents may do much to form their dren's character.” Another article will follow, in which Angelo Patri will speak of the seven serious errors that children make.
