The Barnwell People-Seatinel, Barnwell, S. C, Thnndaj, Noronber 22,1934 LEAVE CHILD TO MOTHER NATURE Certain Amount of “Shaping* Will Do the Rest He inis a rougn-atid-ready young man and a father. He wasn’t one to whom you could mention child training. He knew all about it The ^cranks” who were turning the world upside down trying to make ninnies of children simply disgusted him. When the baby was born he rum pled him to make him tough. One wouldn’t have dared to tell blm that burled deep in the baby’s nature was its own alloy hardening that nature would bring out in time, making a far better mixture than a top layer that wasn’t the real thing at all and would probably slough off In the wear and tear of life. Gradually the child ceased to be an object for experiment with his father. He became a person. He could think and act and originate thought, and smart thought, too. Without realizing what had hap* pened, this man fell in lore with his child. He became gentler with each month. He began to co-operate and encourage his son In his little hobbies and play. He ceased making fun of him and repeated the words «f baby wisdom. - And then- the miracle happenedr It was the first time I had ever heard a man say It, much less an opinion ated man. He said, “You know, I believe that the more you let children alone and allow them to work out their own little plans the better off they are. I don’t have any patience with all this new-fangled stuff about guid ing and molding and so on. Just let them do things they want in their awn way, unless It’s something that they Just have to be told.’’ Then for the first time I said, ^That Is all we want ft is all we are working for. You have just stat ad the sum total of all the new train ing, as you call it We Just want to give nature a chance. Nature is smarter than we are. We ask that and the examples of a good home, love and- sensible parents. Not an other thing. “Don’t lean backward and think Hilly doesn’t need a bit of shaping. Too bad, but he has to live in a world of people, not the woods, and hs has to make some adjustments. But you’re right, even here. En courage his best qualities and keep him busy. There won’t be much time or room then for the other." T HIS is the “mechanical brain” be ing completed at the Moore school of engineering of the University of Pennsylvania.

Across the end of each tall was a bright yel low band. On each, the forehead, chin, and a line through each eye was vel vety blsck. Each wore s very stylish pointed cap, and on the wlngi of most of them were little spots of red which looked like sealing wax. From this they get the name of Waxwlnge. They were slim and trim and quite dandi fied, and In a quiet way ware really beautiful “If they stay long, Farmer Brown won’t have any cherries left," re marked Peter. “Don’t worry," replied Jenny Wren. "I don’t know anybody aqual to them for roaming about Hart art moat of us with families, while those gadabouts havan’t area begun thl nklny ahoat housekeeping yet They certainly do just look at that performance, will you!" There were five of the Waxwings, and they were seated aide by side on a branch of the cherry tree. One of them had a plump cherry which he passed to the next one. This one passed it on to the next, 90 It went to the end of the row and half way back before it was finally eaten. Peter laughed right out “Never In my life have I seen inch politeness,’’ said he. “Huh!” exclaimed Jenny Wren. “I don’t believe It was politeness at all. I guess if you got at the truth of the matter you would find each one was stuffed so full that he thought he didn’t have room for that cherry, and so passed it along.” “Well, I think that was politeness just the same,'’ retorted Peter. “The first one might have dropped the cher ry Instead of passing It along."

"Oh," replied Jenny, “they were over here a while ago when those little green canker worms threatened to eat up the whole orchard, and they stuffed themselves on those worms Just the same as they are stuffing themselves on cherries now.

This was entirely outside my schedule, and you will probably raise your hands In hor ror at the thought of breaking up a well-budgeted day, but I believe In the. end ft makes for better quality of work.” Mr*. Franklin D. Roosevelt wrote that not long ago In a meeeage on the necessity of every person occasionally to learn to loaf. “Sometimes it Is extremely good for you to forget that there Is snything In the world that needs to be done, and to do some particular thing that you want to do," she remarked. “Every human being needs a certain amount of time in which he can be peaceful Peace may take the form of exercise, or reading, or any con genial occupation, but one thing which must not be connected with It is n sense of obligation to do some particu lar thing at some particular time."

When an ailing patient goes to a doctor for treatment, the responsibility for using all that science knows in com bating the aliment lies with the doc tor. The primary responsibility of seeking competent medical advice at the first suggestion of trouble, how ever, rests with the patient The emphaslq In medicine In re- v cent years has graduated from at* tempted cure of dlseasd after it has developed, to disease prevention. While treatment of disease In Ita early stages is not true prevention. It virtually la next to prevention. The medical profession has shown that many of the dread Illnesses of the body often are curable If the treatment begins In the early stages when symptoms first appear. If a person values his health, he first will observe simple precautions In. living that will prevent disease and ' at the same time will act quickly If symptoms of an ailment appear.
