Parenthood Has Little Teacher Preparation ' for Greatest College

Olive Roberts Barton, whose homely philosophies are well known to The Times women readers, here begins exclusively in The Times a fifteen-article series on THE TEN COMMANDMENTS OF CHILD TRAINING. Asa modern mother and a gifted writer Mrs. Barton is eminently qualified to discourse upon one of life’s most vital and -difficult problems and her sound counsel will be found invaluable by all parents, present or prospective. BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON EO be teachers we must first be taught, yet parenthood, the most important craftsmanship in the world, and the very beginning of pedagogy, knows almost no apprenticeship. It knows almost no preparation. By the time parents have brought up a family of children, they have served a long apprenticeship in the best college in the world—experience. But experience is a dear teacher. Had these parents known twenty years ago what they know now about their children, and the things they have

discovered about child training, perhaps they could have saved John from his inferiority complex and the feeling that every one in the world

tive. John's inferiority complex, Mary's exaggerated ego, and Dorothy’s physical fear are results of things the parents did, rather than the things they failed to do. The “thou shalt nots” are more important than the “shalts.” Flowers cannot grow in ground sown first to ragweed. The child’s character is formed before he goes to school—indeed, by the time he is five years old. He is not past the habit-forming age—children are plastic through youth and adolescence. But the man or woman in embryo is there at the end of the fifth year. It can never be wholly changed. The pattern is set. When he reaches maturity the story he tells by his actions will be largely that of his parents, or those who have been in charge of him during the first five years of his life. We are likely to lay shortcomings at heredity’s door. It makes a good alibi. Heredity influences has never yet been accurately measured by mental experts. Some contend that it affects very strongly the child’s moral and mental behavior, others, that it is almost negligible. But all concede that early training and environment are prime factors in character building. Whatever a child is, or becomes, is due almost always to the handling he has had in hie arly years.

Many a Wife Needs a Jolt to Save the Ship BY MARTHA LEE \Y/ some women have to have something very -Wl serious happen to them or their homes before they realize how near they come to losing their husbands?” writes “Bleeding Heart.” Not all women do have to have something happen to them but many of them are so busy running around or doing things less important than keeping their homes up and keeping their husbands happy world, and the very beginning of pedagogy, knows

that big jolts are necessary to make them realize that their matrimonial ships are almost on the rocks. Widow Young “Bleeding Heart’’ is a young widow who has listened to the troubles of a man who has a wife and children. His wife did not seem to give him love and understanding and “Bleeding Heart’’ pitied and later loved him. When his wife reformed she begged his forgiveness and the young widow gave him up, advising him to go back to his wife, although she loves him much. There is much truth in your letter,. “Bleeding Heart.’’ Wives frequently do need a shaking up t o appreciate their husbands but if single women would refuse to accept the company of married men the men would not be so willing to see the faults of their wives. You have c&used yourself much unhappiness by thinking you were being kind to this man. A wife can never forgive "the other woman.” She looks on her as a thief and naturally would not think gratitude was due her. You should be grateful that it did not result in a tragedy. The thought that finally you did the right thing in sending him back to his wife should give you strength. Let this be a lesson to you, not to pity the married man who says he is unhappy. Often his is an excuse for a little diversion. Doesn’t Understand Dear Miss Lee: I have been going with a fellow for six long years. But I don't understand him. He says any one Is silly for getting married and that he never intends to. Yet he will do anything for me and doesn’t want me to go with other fellows. I am not crazy about marrying him when I know the way he feels about It. But our friends know that we. have gone together a long time and they are always asking us when we are going to get married. This makes me feel cheap. If we would get married I would leel that he was doing It out of pity. Now I have been writing to an old friend that we both know and I think if I would encourage him a little I could win mvself a nice home. He Is a good kindhearted fellow who would be good to mo and mv boy. But I am afraid I would think of this other fellow. I have gone with him so long that it has got to be a habit and it is hard to break away. Don’t you think if I would trifle some that it would bring him around one way or the Other? YOURS. He is probably a man who likes companionship but does notj care

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

for the responsibility of married life. The fact that he seems to prefer your companionship to that of other girls should give you some encouragement because no doubt the time will come when he will want to settle down and naturally you would be the reasonable one for him to ask. Tell your friends when they ask you, you both like each other’s companionship but have no serious intentions now. If you feel that you could ever love the other man more than you do this one, you might give him some encouragement. It may help your present friend to make up his mind. Treasure Hunt The Phi Sigma Delta sorority will give a treasure hunt at 8 p. m. Saturday at the Old Rustic Bridge in Ellenberger Park. Members and friends of the sorority will attend and after the hunt there will be a weiner roast. Beaulah Hackett Good is in charge, assisted b> Miss Mayme Keaton and Miss LaVaun Morsch.
