CHILDREN'S MANNERS.

HOW A DOCTOR PRESCRIBES TO INDULGENT PARENTS. '

"Coddling, is tho trouble!" declares a Harloy Street consultant prominent in .the activities of the. Child Study Society, who recently discussed the degeneration in manners of children, a question brought to tho front by a recent law case in Paris.

"The manners of many of the ohildrtm to-day," he said, "are appalling. Children are spoiled, with the inevitable consequence that they are unhappy. They get too much of their own way; they, go to too many picture palaces and- pantomimes.

"Tho man who need to be thrashed by his father refuses to thrash his children. Men.spend more timo at business than they used: to do, and consequently see less of their ohildren. They object, most naturally, to turned into a. Court of summary jurisdiction the moment they enter the'house. , "There is only one Temedy. i If the father has not tno time to maintain discipline tho mother must.do it. So strongly. do somo of us feel in this matter that a series of tracts is now being printed for distribution to, parents. Lord Meath is the moving spirit of the scheme. He has written a paper, and others have been written by Bishop Welldown, Canon Lyttelton, Mrs. Booth, and Archdeacon Sinclair. Clergymen distribute them to their parishioners! ire physicians, givo them to the parents who consult us. We want to restore a wise firmness in the control of ohildren by their parents."
