CHILDREN brought up by
"modern" methods must never never be repressed, and as a res sult all discipline is thrown to the winds
This is one of the commonest accusations against modern methods and one of the first difficultios en- countered by those who attempt to manage children on such a theury.
A great deal of the trouble arises, however, from a complete misunder standing of the word repression."
Nothing is easier these days than to drift into the general application of words that havo a special mean ing in the technique of paychology,
We hear them on every side" in-discipline must be cast to the winds feriority complex," "repression," in order to prevent repressions i and so forth.
Repression in the meaning of paychology is used simply for the mechanism whereby we are able to shut out or forget thoughts and feelings against our higher ideals or
Damns.
In many instances, however, these dormant or repressed thoughts and feelings may have the effect of pro- ducing highly disturbing conflict within us, particularly when" from time to time some happening may stir tho unconscious. emotions through associated ideas.
In the light of this translation it becomes easy to appreciate that fears and tantrums are accentuated by, the conflict set up through these. unconscious or "repressed" emo- tions.

When the rice is soft remove the
saucepan from the fire, and stir in two tablespoonsful of granulated sugar, a teacupful of washed sul tanas, one of glace cherries, a little chopped candied peol, and a piece of butter the size of an egg. When the mixture has cooled a little, stir in one wall-beaten egg. put the puding into a dish, and bake in the oven for about a quarter of an hour. Now add the meringue top: Bent the white of an egg with a table spoonful of castor sugar till it be comes a stiff white "snow," put this on top of the pudding, and spread it evenly with a knife. Return the pudding to the oven to continue baking till the meringue is firm and has coloured slightly on top.
VEGETABLE

EVEN for those who are not vegetarians this is a good dish. It may have to its chief ingredient carrots, beans, or spinach, but pro- bably spinach is best.
For four persons three-quarters of a pound of the chosen' vegetable is ample. Boil, strain (in the case of spinach squeezing out the water), and chop up on a board until thoroughly mineed, but do not use thé mincer.
