Raising'a m Fear Often Reason for

Misbehavior

Punishment of Children Wrong in Many Cases, Declares Writer.

(Twentieth of a Series)

By OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON

Punishment probably ‘interests more parents than any other subject in child raising. When and how, is the cry. But I believe that “why” is more important. More than half the punishment of children is given mistakenly. Maybe the figure is higher. There is only one basis from which to take our measures, and that is the cause of misbehavior, or the motive behind conduct. Now comes a long list of both causes and motives. They are inferiority which breeds the bully or the plotter (our old friend “defense mechanism”); jealousy, fostered by “hurt pride and the result,’ often, of ‘8 sudden change in the child's

standing, and suppression, or over-

pressure, that produces inward resentment bound to have an outlet in peculiar moods that defy explanation. Let us go on. Fear is a common cause of misbehavior. The boy is afraid of water. He goes on the picnic, but he gets into the basket without a by-your-leave, rather than stick his toes into the water. . Fear has to be covered up, you see.

Young Exhibitionists

Or he wants attention, any kind of attention, because the others are stealing his gallery; Not being _ particular how this notice comes, he deliberately commits mischief. All children demand attention and half the time they get into trouble, deliberately, to attract it, if they find it lacking. School and low marks hit at pride. Often children behave ‘abominably when they fail. Sometimes erratic behavior comes from failure to make - friends. Our boy likes Bill, but Bill doesn’t like him. Victor will play with him, but he treats Victor disgracefully. - All these things, and many mare, produce unfortunate conduct. We expect children to be more perfect than we are ourselves, but they react. né more unworthily than we would

if we were held inescapably in af

vise. So in this matter of punishment, parents, I shoul ig keep a weather eye open and try/to get at reasons rather than to pile punishment on punishment. If is best to help the child with his hidden troubles, at which we have to guess very often, for he won't tell. However, all children have to Jeary that mistakes bring retribuion. of nature, Mistakes are not always “innocent. But éven when they are, it is really a protection to the child to know that he must abide by the consequences of his own actions.

Denial Also Punishes

He has to learn to live with other “people who have opinions and tights of their- own. He must, learn to

give way and take some opposition |

as it ‘comes. He must learn right for right’s sake, too. Denial is' a splendid method of meting out the displeasure of the gods. Not too much scolding. It gets to be a useless bore. Spanking I leave to you. I believe there are occasions when it brings the smartaleck back to the line. I don’t recommend it often, but I-defer to you, good parent, when you think it the very best answer there is.

Rotarian Wives Hear Prison Story Of Paula Lecler

| Newspaperwoman Paula Lecler believed what she said when she told Rotarian wives this morning that it was to their own good to fight for pacifism and democracy. She knows. She lay in a. ratinfested Spanish prison for five days or no reason at all. In her 85,000 miles by air, she was privileged .and also discomfited to be for four months the only newsbaperwoman in Ethiopia. | Pathetic Emperor Haille Salassie granted her an interview gt Geneva when he wasn’t “at home” to the press. She traveled by oxcart to nibble food with Gandhi. . She hatted with Queen . Marie, who, essed in pink satin with a rope of pearls about her neck, flourished a flyswatter as she talked.

Believes in Democracy

| Resulting from her. travels in the firm conviction that it is only in a democratic government that woman can attain full stature. “In wartime, woman loses her identity and becomes a tool,” she said. “The same thing is true under dictatorship which is. but a degree higher than war-time government.” Her worst experience was when she was unceremoniously thrown into a Valencia prison. “TI had been walking in the hotel foyer when officers approached and quietly marched me away. No one knew what had happened to me. I was the only woman in the prison. The cell was tiny, dark, unsanitary and furnished only with a stone bench. Haille Selassie is living simply in England, she said, and his daughter is studying’ to become a nurse. No stained-glass window saint is Gandhi, she declared, in describing her Indian visit. : Turkey’s Attaturk is nearly “bending over backward” in his attempt to modernize overnight, Miss Lecler

said.

“Turkey is the East’s most progressive country for women,” she added. “There is no woman’s movement there. The men are proud of the women, trying to educate them, and are insisting that they become leaders. “One of Attaturk’s two daughters is a military aviatrix, and the other, a history teacher, is studying at Geneva.”

Your Spirit, of Adventure Can Run Wild With “Such Dishes.

By MRS. GAYNOR MADDOX To /be a modern cook, you need a touch of nonchalance. Season your Jambalayah with a few grains of humor, flavor your Gypsy Casserole with the spirit of adventure. In other words, don't let cooking get you down. Jambalayah (Serves 4 to 6) : One cup cold meat, cut in small pieces (veal, lamb or chicken), 1%

‘cups stewed fresh or canned toma-

toes, % cup steamed rice, 2 small white onions, 4. green pepper, 3 stalks celery, salt and pepper, bute tered bread crumbs. ] Combine rice, tomatoes and cut up meat. Simmer in saucepan for 10 minutes. Then add chopped one ions and chopped green peppers, season to taste and place in bute tered casserole. Cover top with buttered bread crumbs. Bake in moderate oven (350 degrees F.) for about 1 hour. > Such food appears in the uncone ventional collection written by Helen Train Hillis. She calls it rightly, “To the Queen’s Taste.” Miss Hillis insists that a spot “of unorthodox methods” in cooking helps brighten the dinner table. Here's her - suggestion .for . the maid’s night out—a casserole built for two. It doesn’t have to cook. for hours, as so many casseroles do.

Gypsy Casserole (Just for 2, please)

One broiler, 4 tomatoes, 2 Spane ish onions, 2-3 green pepper, 1 cup sherry, salt and pepper. Cut broiler in 4 pieces, dust with salt, pepper and flour, Fry in butter or bacon grease until browned. Place browned. pieces in casserole. Surround with whole onions and the whole tomatoes and pieces of pepper. Pour the sherry over the whole thing and simmer until vegetables are cooked and broiler tender. Add ‘more sherry or water if more liquid is needed.
