= WILMETTE LIFE, FRIDAY, MARCH 21, 1924 27 Child Welfare . A,.niver8arY Brir:aga Renewal · O f Pledge. Local Parent·Teacher Groupa 1 in Solemn Vow to I "Carry On" The Wilmette Parent-Teacher asrociations of the Central and Logan schools, ' toget})er with the Mothq' club of the Laurel school only recently comme~ orated the 28th anniversary of the National Congress and Parent-Teacher as· sedations. Anniversary month was February and the meetings of the various groups devoted a generous portion of the J)rograms to a review of the principles of the Child Welfare movement which is at the basis of Parent-Teacher activity. The Wilmette mothers in this con- l nection pledged them elves anew to the ~ purpose of not only "strength ninr 1 Child Welfare work at home but, in · the spirit of wider fellowship which comes from the love for all children everywhere, to lend a helping hand" in the establishment of Parent-Teacher and Mothers club units in communities in every state in the union. The mothers also asked themselves some pertinent questions gleaned from recent issues of the Child Welfare magazine and which merit passing on to every parent in the community: Queatioaa For Pareate "Do you visit the school to inquire about your child's progress and deportment and to see if you can ·help the teacher to help the child? "Do you send your child to bed in time so that he will be rested and fit for study? "Do you provide plain, nouri hin1 food and see that your child is up in time to eat a good breakfast? "Do you teach your child to read the papers and find out the best in them, and do you encourage an interest in public affairs? "Do you uoid 1ossip and the teJIing of incidents which may be misinterpreted by your children? "Do you encourage helpful con· venation at the table? "Do you interest younelf in ,our child's sports and atn\IICMCI\ts ancl friendships? Quatioas For a Motlaer And a set of questions for a mother to ask herself. "Is my child disobedient? Why? "Do I make sure that he under.. stands what I want him to " do? "Do I neglect my part in seeina that he does what he is told to do? "Do I change my mind because be frets about doing what he is told t. do? "Do I excuse or punish for disobedience according to my convertience or mood? · "Do I punish a disobedience todaJ and overlook it tomorrow? "Do I bribe him to do as he is bidden? ' "Do .J speak of his disobedience before him, saying 'Johnny ne.er does as he is told ?' "Do I tell in his presence of my inability to manage him : 'I can do nothing with Johnny?' "Do I condemn him for disobedi· ence but fail to give him a word o{ appreciation when he is obedient?" I I. I alOh c CHILDREN It is comparatively easy to indulge one's pride too much in the matter of smoothing the way for children. It takes strong winds to make strong trees, and problems and struggles are necessary for the production of stron~ characters. Childhood habits are vitally im~t. Give your children practise in the formation of good habits-open an account for them here, and by precept and eumple help them keep it growing. ·. laseeuse ~EN ~kholm, Cor cold, etlpatlon. d at your l:etka 1485 LTN24-tfc I lished in Wn,tUTT~ LJPl last week in which it was stated that our recent victory over the Kenilworth troop was very unsatisfactory to our honorable opponents, we wish to advise them that in all points of conflict regarding the rules and regulations to govern the various events, this troop gave way.
