' When Shall We Teach Betty to Pick Up
Her Playthings?
By'ORA A. CLEMENT.
Betty's mother had just Rotten the
little four-year-old settled down for
her afternoon nap.
"And now I will wot mnrh more
than Ret this room put to rights he
tore she wakes tip ORain," site laugli
ingly remarked to her rolleRe friend,
now f primary t' at her, who was
spending a few days with her,
“Why not leave the playthings
where they are and let Betty pick
them up when she wakes?’ the
friend asked.
“Sometimes I do. but she always
wants to make play of it and it
really takes more time to keep her
at It than It does to do It myself.”
Her visitor said nothing for a few
minutes and when she spoke asain
it was without ref. rent e to Betty.
"What did you do with those cun
ning rhicks yon took out of the in
cubntor this morning?" she asked.
“Oh, 1 divided them up among
three or four hens who are simply
wild to be mothering something. Now
the little ones are ruddled up snug
and warm under real feathers, and
they have no idea in the world
that they are, by rights and inher
itance, poor, machine-hatched little
orphans.”
"Why did you put them with the
hens so soon? Would it not have
been safer to have cared for them
yourself until they were a week or
so old, and strong enough to run
with the older chickens?”
Betty's mother laughed. “That
shows that you do not know thick
ens. I tried that plan the first year
I used an incubator and I learned
something. It is only for a few days
that a foster mother tan be intro
duced to Incubator thicks. If they
are put with her during the tirst
few' days of their lives they will
adopt her and follow her obediently
till half grown, like chickens hatched
under a hen, but after a week alone
they seem to get used to being or
phans anti they will not follow a
hen no matter how much site coaxes
and clucks an4*grolds. isn’t it odd?"
She had the playthings all in order
anti settled herself with her mending
in her lap.
"Instinct,” said the teacher. “Nature
puts an urge Into the little chick
that makes it seek a mother at the
it me it needs her most. And if you
are to be successful as a poaltry wo
man you must work with Nature—
you can’t oppose her.”
She drew a thread thoughtfully
and then wrent on: “It is odd, and It
is still more interesting to watch the
same thing in children. Did you
ever think what a powerful urge
there must be in the little child to
keep him trying to walk in spite
of the discouraging falls he gets?
“All through Betty's childhood and
youth she will be led by instincts and
desires through which Nature strives
to produce and develop perfect wo
manhood. And in handling Children,
as in poultry raising, it saves us
much pain and trouble if we work:
with Nature.
“Just now Betty is passing through
what students of child life call th
‘imitative age.' Site Imitates every
thing she sees you do.’’
The mother smiled knowingly. She
loved the baby’s little make be
lieves.
“She plays set table, and sews,
sweeps, kneads bread and makes
beds as you do. if you work with
Nature now you will save yourself
and Betty a great deal of grtef in
the years to come.”
“You are thinking of the play
things on the floor, exclaimed me
hostess.
“Yes. While Betty wants to do just.,
ns you do, train her in habits of or
derliness and cleanliness. The imi
tative uge will uot last long After
that, about the time she goes to
school, there will come a period when
your little girl will be lawless, care
less and selfish. Inclined to put her
will and judgment against yours in
everything. If she has become order
ly and neat from habit before that
time comes it will be a great com
fort to you and of inestimable value
