Child’s Trial And Error Is

Best Method

Self-Reliance Should Be Stressed Over Strict Discipline. | —l ! (Nineteenth of Series)

By OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON

The idea of modern training is to build up in the child enough

. strength of character to carry him

along, and allow enough freedom to make his mistakes and learn their consequences. - This method puts arbitrary discipline on another plane, and makes it secondary to self-growth and self-reliance. It is a pet idea of ours today, to look back and try to correct the old-time methods, that, we decided, made all children unhappy. But I have seen and I have listened; watched a generation grow up under the new handling. In some cases, I have to confess, we have a magnificent harvest, but in others I begin to doubt. I have at least half a thumb down on.the new “individuality” and freedom. Maybe under different’ circumstances our boys and girls would have thrived without exception in this new school. We handed our children into bad times, it is true, and this was unfortunate. Selfdependence, with ingrained inhibitions is one thing, but self-de-pendence that lacks staying power, or control, is another. Youth Under Pressure We have graduated our young people into an era of speed and motor cars; given them liberty such as no other generation has dreamed of; lowered the age limit for pleasure of every kind; educated them in worldliness via the movies, “problem” fiction, radio and what not. A time to test strong men, let alone pliable youth. We have gone in for self-develop-ment, mothers, because it was considered. too funny for words, and too mossy, to do otherwise. Our adolescents told us how all the other fellows and girls were doing, and we had to let them follow the crowd. But is not freedom to be earned by self-control and a knowledge of limits? I do not discredit the system of’ self-discipline |and self-reliance, freedom, liberal experience and all the rest, and I would not criticize it at all were we able to produce somewhere an ideal environment for its flourishing. But youth left to its own devices in this confusing age,

without a steadying hand, | has

lacked too often any compensating wisdom or caution. Protect Against Selves . A mistaken idea that worldly knowledge supplies enough brake on conduct has not stood the acid test. Youth is an age of intensity and impulse, What is independence, if it indulges itself in its own destruction? My advice is to follow the lead of the “most modern” mothers, who at last have taken affairs into their own hands, and are keeping firmer fingers on the reins. “To permit the boy or girl to develop in self strength and individuality, but to

~ limit experience wisely until the

right and proper time,” is their motto. Then let the moth fly. In the meantime it is alive and safe, its world ahead, unspoiled.

Equal Rights Amendment

Is Declared Inappropriate

Reasons for the Indiana League of Women Voters’ opposition to the Equal Rights Amendment now pending before Congress. were enumerated today by Mrs. 8. N. Campbell, league president.

“The amendment would be com- & pletely ineffective,” she said. “It ‘would not accomplish what is intended by its proponents. It would be dangerous and nullify much legislation designed to give millions of wives equality with their husbands and protection for women in

club members between ages of 18 | industry.

“Such discriminations, as do exist should be removed state by state,” she declared.” “The league believes that the proposed amendment is a recital of general principle and is not appropriate matter for the body of the Constitution

Mrs. Campbell pointed out that

the league and other women’s or-

ganizations opposing the amend- |:

ment are not alone in the belief that it should not be adopted. She quoted - a list of legal authorities who have condemned the amendment in statements sent to national league headquarters in Washington. Included in the list were Silas H. Strawn, Chicago; Felix Frankfurter, Harvard Law School professor; Joseph. P. .Chamberlain, Columbia University: Law- School; Roscoe Pound, former Harvard Law School dean; William H. Millard, Justice of the Supreme Court of the State of Washington; Edgar Bronson Tolman, Chicago; Lloyd K. Garrison,

“dean of the University of Wisconsin Law School, Leon Green,

‘Northwestern University dean.

The National League of Women Voters and all its branches have

spent the last 18 years in an effort

to advance the position of American women,” Mrs, Campbell said.
