What new ex- citement and adventure we shall mid therein and who knows? maybe I long dream come, true. But surely not on I farm. you m-, its "commonplace" scenes and surroundings! Should we not need to go to some far green pasture of place to find it? For faraway lands always seem to have a titilating -aura of living gbuul them. without I trouble or concern. Substance too apparently is easier to come by -not gleaned from earthy places as we in our occupation must obtain it. There we picks up the value iven for go many hours work-in eed very igwm as I matter of course and with "no fret. no fuss. no bother."

"I like it here" I farmwife iipeilflillg the winter visiting kin to a city in the'States wrote not long ago . . . A day of snowfall that was. when little restless drifts moved along the fields of this val- ley moulding engasinl deiilnl in the marble of the white there and about the yards. g

The friends he stayed with were kind and the home pleasant. but still he was lonely until one evening he went to visit at a house in the suburbs where they kept I cow and calf and some chickens; and he found content there because it smacked of the farming!"

"So when I hear the odd spring- blrd calling now. I want to be back to hear the hens singing in the morning in the poultry-house: I'd like to find an egg in a nest again --just one. warm and pretty would give me that old feeling of trea- sure found. I would like to come to the stable at milking-time too if it were only to see the cats in content lapping at the new milk.

I've tried to teach her not to pick up my things. and to play with her toys. of which she has many - and I place to them Like most children, she wants to beat on her toys: but I teach her to love and cuddle her dolls and

I think you can” talk to chil- dren and teach them I lot. but you also have to use I little force once in a while. don't you agree?

Each Reflects Past Training

My husband doesn't believe in spanking: and Judy doesn't pay any attention when he tells her don't do this or that. He won't smack her hands or paddle her. and when I spank he gets furious and threatens to take her away from me and act a divorce We are at each other's throat all the time on this score. which keeps me nervous, unhappy and upset. Is he right? Or am I7

I am 23. Harry is 31 and we have been married four years. Judy is our only child (so far). My husband comes of I large fam- lly. and did pretty much as be pleased in childhood. Now his brothers drink and fight and one was involved in larceny. His sis- ters' children are little rough- necks . . . I am an only child and my mother was strict . . .

No doubt you loved and re- spected your mother after a fashion. in an awed dependent way (if not with happy warmth) -hence your involuntary tendency to pattern your discipline after hars. A can of your unconscious saying to you. "Now it's our turn to act grown-up; to lay down the law and see that it is obeyed." The really mature-type parent has friendly compassion for the helpless. defenceless. adventurous status of the child just beginning to explore -his uni. nment. And the fine parent teaches (or "dis- ciplines") by approval. encour- agement and supervisory example and aid. rather than by dictator instruction and spanks or slaps dealt out for errors. He joins rs- straining action to word. with mild explicit firin- ness-using educative repetition as often as necessary until the lesson sticks.

It is the childish-type parent who (1) either neglects the chil- dren. with Is. sponsible optimism. and lets them grow wild; or t!) throws weight around in an iron- handed way. Your husband's par- cnts leant COWIBTGI Mistake No. I.
