Why Children Don't Obey OBEDIENCE is the foundation of character. Yet how many parents discover constantly that their instructions to their children carry no farther than around the corner. And wilfulness, selfishness, jealousy, disrespect, untruthfulness, ill-temper and many other unpleasant qualities are directly related to that first great fault of disobedience. New Methods for Old Until now, scolding and whipping seem to have been about the parents' only methods. But new methods have been discovered which make it easy to train children to obey promptly, pleasantly and surely without breaking the child's will, without creating fear. resentment or revenge in the child's heart, as whipping does. This new method is based on confidence. When perfect understanding and sympathy exist, obedience comes naturally and all the bad traits that children pick up so easily are not given a chance to develop.

This mission is the first of its kind ever ent out by this country. It consists of sixteen naval officers and nineteen petty officers of our Navy. It is headed by Rear-Admiral Vogelgesang, Commandant of the Brooklyn Navy Yard. The sending "of this mission to Brazil has considerable political significance and should help our relations with Brazil and PanAmericanism. The French Government sent a military mission of French army officers to Brazil some time ago. There has been considerable interest in naval circles throughout the world to see what country Brazil would invite to send a naval mission to assist in reorganizing the Brazilian navy. It is significant that Brazil chose to invite America to send this mission. The officers in the mission are men who have specialized in naval strategy, the operation of submarines, destroyers, minelaying, naval engineering, the gunnery of battleships; with an experienced aviator, a doctor, and a paymaster. The nineteen enlisted men are all the very best mechanics of our Navy and include torpedo men, radio men, engineers, turret captains, gunners' mates, machinists, aviation mechanics-in fact, skilled men DECEMBER 20, 1922 able to deal with any mechanical problem in the fleet. Our Secretary of State and the Brazilian Ambassador in Washington signed a formal agreement covering a period of four years as the life of the mission. A Washington correspondent of The Outlook states that Brazil claims that her military expenditures to-day are fortyfive per cent less than they were in 1913; that she was not able during the war to do anything to strengthen her Navy and that costs during the first few years after the war' were prohibitive; so that her Navy is not sufficient even for the proper defense of her long coast-line, large area, and population. She has but two modern battleships. Brazil's delegate at the meeting of the Disarmament Commission in Geneva several months ago opposed the plan proposed for international limitation, on the ground that it would never permit Brazil to build a navy yard (she has none at present) and that it would give her insufficient national defense.

Its BOOKS FOR GIFTS The Outlook My Years on the Stage By JOHN DREW OLIVER HERFORD writes in Life: "The glamour of the golden age of American Drama is happily reflected in the mirror of this narrative whose valuable records and commentaries together with the directness and the good style of its telling place it at the head of all the personal dramatic histories of late years." Fully illustrated, $5.00 Three Plays By LUIGI PIRANDELLO "Six Characters in Search of an Author," a recent success in London and a present sensation in New York, is to be produced this winter by Pitoeff in Paris and Reinhardt in Berlin and Munich. The publication of it, with two other plays also in his characteristically original and brilliant manner, has moved the critics to say that "the publication of Pirandello's Three Plays' seem to us now as important a work as the first publication of Shaw's plays."

With the fleet divided and under separate commands, this ideal was impossible of attainment. A fleet is something more than an aggregation of ships. It must function in peace time as a unit if it is to be effective in times of National crisis. Its leader must not only know the vessels under his command, but must also know the personalities and the mental attitudes of his captains. They, in turn, must be familiar with the method by which their chief approaches the problems before him. Under Secretary Daniels all this advantage was thrown away by the adop tion of a policy of division which the naval history of every nation has shown to be fallacious. The new order not only means increased naval efficiency, but it also assures the American people that politics will not govern the disposition of their first line of defense. |
