The weekly fee might be left to each zirl's own judgment -- a small, gaily dressed 'doll, a box of home-made candy, & bouquet of garden or wild flowers, a dainty pudding or salad, etc. After the business of the club meeting was disposed of the "entrance fee" would be taken to those in poverty, 'rouble or sickness. The officers of che club would be held by the girl who had done the best good deed dur- visiting shut-ins (perhaps reading to them), taking some child out who would otherwise have to stay in a stuffy apartment, etc.; helping out in 30me home where illness or poverty aas taken the mother from her daily tasks..

How lovely to give mother a couple of hours on the cool verandah while Big Girl does the ironing! And then there is a good read every week. What about your hobby?

"YES" -- SAYS JUDGE HOCKING Spanking, as an instrument of juv- enile correction, cannot be abolished. This is the stated belief of Judge Hos- king, judge of Toronto's Court of Fam- ily Relations. "If anybody comes to me," states Judge Hosking, "and says that the strap, rod, brush and slipper should be discarded, I say it can't be done." When argument, persuasion and ev- erything else have failed, parents sometimes need the ultimate weapon of corporal punishment. However, it is the ultimate weapon. We no longer consider it as essential as our grandparents did. With a twinkle in his eye, Judge Hosking recalled the story his father told of the use of "the gad" in his home. "As a boy," he said, "My father lived in a small cottage down in Cornwall. The gad was always kept behind an | ing not only makes a child timid and servile, but also robs spanking of its disciplinary effect. This was illustrat- ed lately in the case of a little boy, brought under the supervision of the Family Court, who had been cruelly beaten with chains. Spanking was not punishment to him, it was an exhibi- tion of adult cruelty that had to be endured. Exhibitions of temper instantly put the spanker in the So, too, does the spanking that is ineffectual and feeble, and only makes the child conscious of its superior strength. wrong.

"Now, we hardly go so far as that "Thou shalt not"'-is a fundamental law of existence. Every hour is crowded with 'Thou shalt nots," and the human being who doesn't learn to obey that edict as a child spends his adult life in constant misery. You mustn't put your finger in the fire or you'll be burned. Leave the child to find this out for himself, and serious harm can be done before ad- ults can prevent it. And suppose the child burns himself to death, what then? "There might be a charge laid against the parent," said Judge Hos- king. There must be discipline, maintain- ed by the right of certain people in charge. And the children like it. Who is the most popular teacher in school? The one who can keep order. Who is, _ in cold fact, the most unpopular? The weakling whose efforts are most easily frustrated. Children themselves know the need for discipline, and respect those who can and do enforce it. Children quickly recognize temper and hold it in contempt. Overthrash- | her boy spanked in church. today. Spanking is only a last resort. | But it must exist." portant.

A room in the basement of a little church near by was given them by the colored pas- 'tor and outfitted with a bench. On lthe day appointed, the mother, the | boy, the cousin, and an officer of the | Family Court repaired thence, and chastisement was duly given "in a re- ligious atmosphere." Under such circumstances there was certainly no stigma of ill temper at- tached to the adults' behavior. The boy was old enough to understand that punishment was meted out for his consistent refusal to obey his mother. Who could easily forget such a solemn ceremony? Or who could harbor mal- ice for treatment so manifestly ad- ministered for his soul's well-being? At the same time, Judge Hosking commented, while he thoroughly com- mended the mother's attitude, he would hardly go so far as to suggest that modern churches be remodelled to include a spanctum spanctorum.
