YOUR CHILDREN.

[By Olive Roberts Barton.]

A mother said to me recently: "Hava mannors and politeness for obildron gone out of style1. A little girl comes to my house daily to play with my own little girl and it I ask her over so nicely to help put AWEY the toys afterwards, sho won't do it. If I insist, she maya, You aren't my boas.' What am I to do? Certainly she breada de- fiance in my own child."

Of course, the trouble here is with the home training of the visitor.

The mother of that little girl must realize that by failing to in still in her daughter an obligation to those whom she visits and that when she is in the house of another

It's a Common Attitude,

The episode of the toys and the little girl's refusal to help put them away, especially the remark about the "boss," is nearly bolio of her attitude to all grown- ups outside of her own home.

Kyn-

Her idea of authority is ended with her parents. The chances zre it doesn't even begin, there, for a child who talks that way usually acknowledges no authority what anover, eves in her own house.

When a child ways to her teacher, You can't boss

But grant that there really is order and discipline in the child's home and he goes out to defy 10- ciety to take all the advantages and accept its benefits without con- tributing either obedience ог courtesy to those who have a right to expect it. I enn't help believ ing that when such is the case, it is due to carelessness or oversight on the part of those caring for him. Children have to be told.

Our children go about, on our neighbour's property, in their houses, even riding in their cars. They go to stores, they go to movies, they go to school, to church, nud to
