No. 2i. Should 11c Reward Children For Doing Errands?
IMAGINE a child, on being asked
to run a simple errand, replying,
"What will you give me?"
And yet, that's about what many
childre do, practically, who have
been paid for errands. If the task
looks too big, they either refuse or
whine and put it oft indefinitely
which amounts to the same thing.
The big trouble with the reward
system is the inevitable suggestion
that it is necessary to securo action
on the child's part, thus shifting the
basis of obedience from confidence to
that of material reward.
One mother writes:
My uncle's child of six years is
never allowed to take money for er
rands or favors of any kind. He is a
very willing little Jellow but he al
ways refuses money, saying. 'Because
Daddy won't let me take it.' It seems
to me that a child should in some
way be rewarded—not every time
but in some way. How should this
matter be treated? I want to know
how to handle this when my child
reaches this stage."
Your uncle s child has been proper
ly trained. He could very easily be
spoiled by insisting that he take
money for errands. He very soon
would get into the habit of "expect
ing pay and this result is not de
sirable.
One form of rewarding a child who
does an errand for you is to show a
friendly attitude toward him. for ex
ample, by talking to him about some
thing in which he naturally is in
terested or by playing with him.
And this is not only an approved form
of reward from a moral standpoint,
but it is also an effective reward from
the standpoint of discipline. . The
child appreciates it even more ij
Zembo War Benefit
Postponed by Deaths
Tho war aid benefit to have been
held in the Chestnut Street Audi
torium to-morrow evening by Zembo
Temple has been postponed for an
indefinite period, owing to the death
of two members of the Zembo Tem
ple Rand, who died yesterday of
pneumonia.
Edward Yoder Snyder, 320 Chest
nut stret, and .Wayne A. Kershner,
46 North Seventeenth stret, are the
two men whose death caused the
postponement. A large number of
tickets for the entertainment, which
was to be for the benetit of the Har
risburg Chapter of the War Aid,
have been sold, and they will be
good when the entertainment finally
is given. It was said by the com
mittee in charge that the benefit
might be held within two weeks.
City Police Buy Bonds;
Get on Roll of Honor
A Roll of Honor, containing the
names of the members of the Har
risburg police force who are buying
Liberty Ronds of the fourth issue,
was placed in the complaint office at
the front of the Mayor's office by
Complaint Clerk Ruch this morn
ing.
The roll already contains the
names of forty-four members of the
force. Others whose names are not
on the roll have bought bonds
through local banks. C. O. Backen
stoss, clerk to the Mayor, is trying
to enroll all the force in order that
the police will be 100 per cent, pa

FAMILIES OF SOLDIERS
NO TO SUFFER FOR COAL
At the meeting of the board of
directors to be lied next Monday
afternoon at 4 o'cock/ the q 'estion
of suppying faniiies of men in the
service'with coal, will be supplied,
as the result of a made by
Miss Helen Leih of the Home Serv
ice Section, the Harrisburg Red
Cross Chapter. If it is decided to
purchase the coal a fund will be
raised for the purpose. Coal dealers
have promised their co-operation.
| anything and he will be inclined to
obey you In the future, not with any
idea of any self-reward in mind but
because he likes you.
After the habit of willing obedience
is well established; when your boy
is a.little older and you wish him to
do some prolonged task, there prob
bably would be no harm in announc
ing beforehand that you would employ
him to do the work at the same rate
that you would have to pay an out
sider. But for doing simple errands
requiring only a few minutes' time,
material rewards should not be given.
Of course, there is one way of giv
ing even material rewards without
ill-effect and that is to give them
without any apparent connection be
tween them and the errand. Plenty
of time must elapse either before or
after an errand and there must be no
verbal suggestion which would con
nect the errand with the reward in
the child's mind.
For example, a ten-year-old boy
was called frojn play to go to a gro
cery. There was a strong tempta
tion to give him a dime or an old ball
or something immediately upon his
return, but instead, a friendly.
"Thank you ever so much. George"
was accorded him. He naturally
said, "That's all right," in a friSnd
ly way. The next day, he was call
ed again, and instead of being asked
to run an ei;rand he was given a
half-worn tennis ball and five min
utes of the adult's time in playing
"catch." This procedure brought
practically ideal results. The gift
created confidence, increased friend
ship uctween the two and on the
basis of this, many errands were
run afterwards In the best spirit pos
sible with no thought of reward for
any particular act.
Always use methods which appeal
to the higher instincts in your child.

ALIEN SQUAD*

Borough Confident That the
Quota of $804,000 Will
