HEALTHY VARIETY

ky«ER|
I AM always pleading for the rou-
1 tined day, the routined way, for
children. The health habits, the hab-
its of industry, of politeness, of good
conduct are established by routine.
The same thing at the same time; the
same action in the same situation ; the
same law for the same action. Now
I am going to speak about overdoing
the routine.
It is possible to so routine a child
that he is tied hand and foot. Change
his schedule, change his mode of liv-
ing in the slightest degree, and he is
helpless. That is the chief fault in es-
tablishing a rigid routine.
A child should go to bed at the same
time every evening. That is a funda-
mental principle of hygiene. But that
does not say that the same person
must help him prepare for the night.
Different people should be allowed to
do this so that he will not feel bereft
if his mother is not at hand to get him
ready for sleep.
Children ought to be washed every
morning. That again is a fundamen-
tal of hygiene. But that does not say
that the same piece of soap, the same
washrag, the same temperature of the
water, the same person is to be in the
picture. A little child who can wash
his face and hands in the brook or in
the wash \>asin on the back porch or
In the bathroom is in a better position
socially, hygienically than is the help-
less one who must have his own home
bathroom before he can wash himself
at all.
Eating is another fundamental of liv-
ing. Children ought to have their
meals at the same hour daily. But
that does not exclude variety from
their menu. Color, taste, beauty, va-
riety musi enter into the routine of
meals or there is no value in them.
Change the place of eating. Have
a picnic. Eat on the porch or the ter-
race. Put the meal into a little bas-
ket and carry it to the place where
you can sei the sea, or the sunset, or
the old oak tree. Put the spirit of
variety into the routined duty and it
loses its hint of bondage.
Habits are our best friends provided
they can be used in variety. Always
the mind must control the actions of
the body or the material bonds become
too strong and we become the victims
of our own goodness. It is good to
eat cereal, but it is sad to be tied to
just one. It is good to love one’s
home, but it is baneful to fear leaving

BY THE BOOK
’TREACHERS who write and preach
A as much as 1 do ought to be the
last, perhaps, to warn readers and
listeners against the book, but my ex-
perience forces me to caution con-
scientious people against accepting
any word in child training as the per-
fect one. There is no such thing.
Every child is an individual and pe-
culiar combination of forces. When a
doctor or a teacher, a chi in specialist
of any sort, expresses an opinion or
gives a direction, he comes as near the
matter as his knowledge and experi-
ence will allow. But there is always
an uncertain element in the situation.
That is the child himself. When we
have offered him our best it may net
be what he needs. We must always
allow for a margin of adjustment be-
tween the child and us.
Take the matter of diet. Milk and
eggs are fine foods for children. But
how much milk? How Ynany eggs?
In what form? That depends upon
the child himself.
A mother called her child's physi-
cian because, in spite of everything
she could do, the little one refused to-
touch an egg or anything that con-
tained an egg. “Well, don’t offer him
an egg again. We’ll give him some-
thing else and try how that works."
said the doctor. “But you said he
ought to have an egg for his lunch,
doctor.” “True enough, but if he
can’t eat eggs we can offer him some-
thing he can eat. He can live and
thrive if he never eats an egg.” That
seethed to astonish the young mother.
I am certain that after she has reared
a family she will know that what is
one child’s meat is another’s poison.
The same idea holds throughout.
One child takes his afternoon nap and
another refuses to lie down, much less
sleep. One child obeys without pro-
test and another fights every direction.
We can give one child permission to
play in the yard and know he will
stay there, while we dare not allow
his brother out of sight test he be on
tbe highway among the traffic, the in-
stant we leave him alone.
The books are full of wisdom. They
offer helpful advice. They suggest and
they stimulate ideas in child training,
but they have a limit. Where they
leave off, the mother's intelligence and.
first-hand knowledge of her child must-,
begin. That is why rearing a family
requires the greatest skill and intel-
ligence. That is why a mother's job
demands our respect and admiration
as no other job ever does. “Her chil-
dren rise up and call her blessed,” be-
cause she opened the book of life for
them and taught them how to read it,
each in his own language.
Use the good books, listen to the ex-
perts, consult your physician, but al-
ways carry your own responsibility to-
ward your own child.
