Correcting Fauib.
r ■
By EDITH LOCHRIDGE REID.
Many a well-meaning mother in
laboring tinder a false idea of what1
really constitutes a training In right (
habits and proper attitudes in her ;
child. Often she thinks she is cor !
recting a fault when in reality he i
is only nagging at the child, or a'
best shooting very wildly around j
the mark.
Here is Edward He is careless
with his napkin. “I've been trying |
for six months to get him to fold it
an$ put it in the ring,1’ his mother
observed, as we were clearing the
table; “but lie does it only about
one time In ten." Now Edward’s
mother was actually sincere in her
remark. Imagine! Rv her own ad
mission she had struggled six months
on the one litttle poinl of discipline.
AT the next meal I watched Ed
ward. It was noon and before he
was quite through with his lunch
lfls boy chum rang the door bell
and Edward dropped everything and
dhshed to school, of course without
folding liis napkin. At dinner that
night, we were going for a ride
and everyone hurried. Edward in
cluded, and no one paid any atten
tion whether he folded his napkin
or not. Without elaborating any
further, you mothers get tiie point.
It would taken perhaps a week of
time and patience to sit right there
at the table and keep an active boy
right there also until he had learned
to fold his napkin automatically.
Anything worth while takes time,
but very few point* in children's
discipline require Rix months if
properly .handled. If we make a
child do a thing himself one time
in ten. and then do it for him the
other nine times, it Is absolutely on
r rgy wasted all around, just, like
sywliif: the new patch on the old
gatmont which is too thin and worn
to hold the stitches.
Training children is like a busi
ness proposition: we get just what
we go after. If we invest patience,
time and thought in the task of cor
recting a child's habits the results
are inevitably successful. It isn't
always easy, nothing worth while
is; but a week spent in correcting
a fault takes less attention and
energy thap nagging for montliR
with no definite object achieved af
ter all.
Another point is very important
in correcting faults, lie very sure
the fault is a real one, that it bears
directly on character, training. If
it is pot one which you are willing
to expend time and patience to cor
rect, then why mention it at all?
lint if a habit is really annoying
and one that will prove embarrass
ing to the child aud ids friends
through his life, then attack it at
once and definitely and finally up
root it. Concentrate on that one
thing until you and the child have
conquered it. aud never again will
you have that particular trial to
meet

UNITY KEYNOTfe FOR
UNITED STATES SCHOOL1
America’s success in public edu
cation depends upon the attitude of;
the classroom teacher toward super
vision, Jesse H. Newlon, superin !
tendent of schools, Denver, Colo.,
told the delegates today. Superin
tendent Newlon said:
‘'Supervision is necessary to pro
mote unity of purpose and co-op -ra
tion. to help inexperienced teach -rs
to master their work more quickly,
to stimulate the more experienced i
teachers to keep up with the besi
work being done educationally. Km
system of supervision will function ,
unless the attitude of the classroom
teacher is one of sympathetic co
operation, and this attitude depends
upon the kind of supervision that is
attempted and the teacher's proles !
sional spirit nnd outlook.
“In the past, supervision has been
too often chiefly inspectorial, fault
finding, and mechanical in charac
ter. It Is still frequently the ar-J
bitrnry and misses its greatest op-j
portunity for constructive leader-'
ship. The teacher who thinks super
vision is unnecessary iR hopeless.!
Some teachers, frequently the least'
inefficient resent supervision. The j
problem can be solved only when the
teaching body and administrative!
staff meet on common ground to
study the issues involved.
"Teaching can never be a r fti i
profession until both the teacher!
and supervisor view these questions
from an impersonal standpoint. Wo
men, more often than men, are too!
frequently inclined to be personal ini
their viewpoints. The success ofj
those engaged In school administra
tion can bo measured by their abil
ity to view their responsibilities;
impersonally. The crying need is'
that we law aside our petty jeal-'
ousles and preconveived notions andj
join one another In an attempt to1
find a solution of the problem."
