SOME STUDIES IN

PSYCHOLOGY ·

BY JESSIE STEPHEN

I have a friend who is the proud mother of two lovely children who chose rather a novel way of proper teaching her little ones

tablo manners. One day she cut horself a great chunk of jam tart, took it up in both her hands and began to eat it as if she had not had a meal for weeks. Both her children gazed at her in open- mo thed astonishment, and ob- serving their amazemont sho eald, "You should never eat your food like this. It doesn't look very nice when mother does it, and what would you think if both your daddy and I always ate as I have been doing? You would think we were pigs, now, wouldn't you?"

They were intelligent youngsters and agreed. Bolh know why mother had acted in this strange way, and looked down in shame- faced manner, twisting their Angers nervously. It was a gentle reminder that they were too often given to devouring their food in

nll the same way. Perhaps not children would appreciate the lesson given in this way, but every mother is surely capable of devis. ing her own method of training her little ones.

It is far more satisfactory than always crying, "Don't do this!" or "Don't do that!" Children hale

these continual "don'ts." It is

because mothers do not always appreciate this that one so often heara them talk About their "difficult" children, complaining about them having more than their share of original sin.
