Tnis investigation is an inquiry into
the springs or motives which rule the
individual, and they are the same for
eieiv child. We discover three 1
iodsbf childlife. infancy,childhood and
Youth. I" each the child has a
leading motive which may l>e made '
ihe spring of its conduct. I say U ad
|(li r motive, for each stage may be ef
fected to some extent ihe. motives of 1
oilier stages, and these motives may
a!*o ucquiie accumulative power. Tne 1
objfCt, leineinuer. is to lind the skiing
or power winch will cause the child to !
respond to discipline. In other words
what will make Laddie follow your 1
guidance, when he is. a baby, when he '
is a child, when he is a you h. Re
member you are nqi his tyrant but his 1
guide to heaven. These leaning mo
tives 1 shall call Three I hsycological ■
Mo'ors. These motors are, for infan- 1
cy—fear, f r childhood—Conscience,
for youth—Love. Tim response on the
pari of Laddie is acquiescence or.yield- 
in* his wiil to yours, as prompted by '
the p!is\eoloi{icai motor that controls
him. This response takes different
fuinisin each stage of his development ;
In infancy his tear makes him obe.\ — '
obedience is the foim of response—in 1
childhood, his conscience creates com- '•
punctious and convictions and be !
yields because of a higher sanse of I
right and religion, Gou enters in as an 
element of his life. In vouih tiie mo-" i
tor is love, esteem, admiration, con- I
cern for your happiness Love is not 1
infatuation, it is genuine regard for I
wuiHi. a desire to gain jour applause. '
A woman must be more than merely i
mother, and a man more than merely
father, if you would awaken this mo
tor of love. The next question is, '
What are the three forms of Parental
Control that make the levers which '
bring these motors into act ion? They 1
are authority, leadership and counsel.
For infancy with its motor of fear the ;
lever is authority. Laddie needs as a
start in life a sovereign in both fath- ,
er and mother, whose woid Is absolute,
his ia>v. He must learn obedience to 
authority now, or he will never learn 1
it. If he doesn't learn subjection in
infancy, woe to his future. He will !
lie an anarchist in manhood, or at
least, an Ishmaelite, with his hand
against every man, and every man's
hand against him. For childhood with
its motor of conscience, Laddie ifeeds
leadership. Nothing is so keen as a
child's sense of right and wrong, and
lie is const-ntly feeling the qualms of
conscience. He is a wee by his feeling
of ijod's presence, His approval or dis
approval. Prayer, the Bible, and the
church hold him in fearsome awe. His
simple faith, his confessed fear of God,
his sense of weakness conspire, to
quicken him to a response and sub
mission. Laddie must have a leader,
and his wondering eyes and bonding
heart will follow one who is willing to
be his guide. He reaches the hero
stage at ten or eleven and admires
strength, skill, and wisdom. His mind
seeks ihe heroic in books and papers.
He enters ihe clan age. He is a mem
ber of an Indian tribe, a robber band,
a baseball club, all demand obedience
lo leadership. Laddie is loyal, through
thick and thin, to his leader. It is
his father's business to be that leader
or general superintendent of all lead
ers. Fear and conscience give way to
love as the motor for youtii. Judg
ment and experience are maturing the
mind and conscience and the iieart is
ready for counsel. Love, ti.ial love, is
the accumulative power of fear, rever
ence, conscience and compunction,
v>ith the added force of admiration
and desire of approval. Now shall we
apply these ideas of the phsycological
motors, fear, conscience and love,
these responses, obedience, compunc
tion and desire to please, the?e three
leve s of authority, example, or lead
ership, and counsel to the three pha
ses of childlife? Take infancy, rang
ing ftom birth to over 7 years, Laddie
(ltdic tied to God, as a babe by infant,
baptism, we enter upon ihe task ol
making a saint of Laddie. He belongs
to (iod and we must lead him home.
I agree with the position that the ba
by is to be I real »d as a Utile animal
»'Jr its tirst two years. Its animal
newels and instincts must be recognized
and met. Its sense of fear must be
taken advantage of. It musi be taught
implicit faith and subruissson. It is
to unwise to ruia and so must be rul
ed. It Laddie learns rebellion instead
ol surrender by the time he is three or
four, woe be the day, and lierce the
conflict for supremacy later. A minis
ter was once asked by a ledy, "Doctor,
wh'-n should 1 begin the training of
my. child?" "How old i-> the child?"
said the minister. ">ix months."
"Vou are six months behind," said the
preacher. Dr H. M. Palmer, in his
bok on "The Family," says, 'lf a
chiid doesn't learn submission to hu
man authority in childhood he will
not. learn submission to God's authori
ty hi manhood." Infancy must be
CMll soiled with an unbending rule.
The parents must he sovereigns with,

ieiwe must be s cund by sovereignly
and riot by cajolery. You can of i en use

teen, the motor Is conscience, the re
sponse is compunction, the lever isex
ampie and leadership. The need of'
punishment, diminishes* but does noli
iilsKpjie» r . Here is a case in point:
vvhen one of my children was a ln>y of
eleven, one Saturday morning I told
hiic to go to tlit* s'udv and prepare
his lesson for school "on Monday. 1
was busy in another part of the house,
but notieea after awhile thar. he was

11l street. I called to hiui and told
him again to study his lessons Again
I noticed he had disobeyed. I called
him to me, and punished* him, and left
him in the study to do as I bade hhn.
At last I released him from imprison
ment and called him to dinner. After
dinner. I went to the study, and there
on my table 1 found a blotter with the
words wiitten in his Childish hard 'n
pencil, "Mr. Garth is bad." 1 smiled
at and then I said, That bov
doesn't understand why I punished
him. I called him to the study and
asked him if he wrote the sentence,
showing the blotter. He nodded his
head. I took him between iny knees
and asked him if he thought 1 pun
ished him just because 1 was mad at
him. He nodded again. I told him
that was not the reason, but because j
lie had disobeyed me. Then I told I
him parents commanded to pun
ish their children, ami Hint Ihey had
to do it to save their l«»ys ;ns«i jiifs
from the Devil. Ti.en I showed him
several passag s in Proverbs like
Prov. 13, 14, He that spareth the rod
spoileth his son; but he that loveth
him chastviieth him betimes. As he
read them I could see his conscience
and judgment were at work,'-and at
last I said. What do you think of what
yon wrote? He said, 1 guess it ought
to be V is bad. Here we see the
combined effect ot fear and conscience.
Compunction was produced by God's
word thro conscience and guided to
this result by .parental leadersh p
Hut correction is not the main
thought in childhood. Leadership
must be emphasized in several wa\s.
We must work with our children if
we would teach them industry. We
must enter into their pleasures and
rejoice with them. No game is so fine
as that in which Father and Mother
join. "Come," says Tarebol "and let
us live wiili our children." Then let
us join them in their pleasures, let us
chaperone them in their gatherings
and sightseeings, and lose not that re
verence and tiiial devotion childhood
is ever ready to pay to those parents
willing to receive the tribute. And
when they are ready to enter the great
temple of nature s mysteries, let us go
with them and as guides point out tc
their bewildered eyes the mazes, the
wonders of life, the pitfalls of sin that
unfolrt before their uncertain feet. O
to think of a child attempting to
tread the labyrinth of carnal know
ledge with no guide save his own pas
sions, and the world ana the Devil at
his elbow and no one to make a mock
at sin and cast a mantle over the skel
etons of intemperance, lust, and s n
ful joys which will hide the death that
lurks beneath the gaudy cloak. Yes,
the bov and girl needs a leader, and a
model'in Father and Mother. Laddie
readies the stage of hero worship.
Blest is he Alien Fat her is the hero
and the boy looks to him, as the wis
est, bravest, strongest, best man he
knows. Let him read all the adven
ture and tiction lie wants, watching,
of course, lest the viciojs book fail in
to his hands. He will learu to choose
the good and refuse the evil—lf you
will only take pains to guide. Forget,
now, to say "don't" and learn to sav
"Come with me, Laddie." In work
and play and education, combine pa
tience, love, truth, and joy, and make
your voice tne keynote of Laddie's life.
Hut Laddie is becoming a man. From
fifteen to eighteen he is adolescent.
The bud long closed is umolding its
petals—as we watch it we say, will it
be beautiful or ugly? Will lis exhala
tions be perfume or a stench to the
nostrels of man and God? If Laddie
has learned to fear in infancy, and to
repent in childhood, you need have no
forebodings for youth. Instead of a
crushed will and an over tender con
science, Laddie will find that princi
ples and convictions underlie his chir
acter like the keel and the ribs of a
strange ship, that will give him power
to breast the waves of the sea. and re
joice in activity and conquest. At
last, the motor is love, and Laddie lis
tens to you with reverence and admir
ation, and prizes your counsel. The
da\s of punishment are over. Hie
day of advice has come. Perhaps there
may be place for rebuke and reproach,
but these must be sparingly used. An
individuality has boomed in Laddie,
and he is restive beneath the whip or
Spur. With the buo\anc> of his joung
iife he speeds to the journey. He feels
his strength, he trusts his judgment,
he lias faith in his destiny, he rejoices
in life. But he loves you and is still
ready to heed your wisdom. You must
let liira learn many things by exper

LET THE PEOPLE DECIDE.
The article of Mr. Carraway
which appeared in Monday's
C h arlotte Chronicle gives a
straight forward presentation of
' the position of the people in the
matter of freight rate adjust
ment. A. great many people and
a part of the state press seem to
be in favor of accepting the pro
position of the railroads as it will
be submitted through the Cor
poration Commission. They are
goinjf so far in their advocacy of
the plan as to be willing to ac
cept it before they know what it
really contains. Mr. Carrawsy
interprets the position of both
the Governor and the people of
the state when he says that no
recommendations will be submit
ted to the General Assembly un
til such recommendations have
neen first passed upon by tne
people.
The fight that has been made
by the Just Freight Rate Asso
ciation has been a fight waged by
the people and when the time
comes to agree upon terms of
peace the people have the right
to say whether or not the peace
terms are acceptable to them.
The people of the state are not
willing to do all the fivrhtinsr and
delegate to the Corporation Com- i
mission the authority to accept
terras of surrender. The neces
sity of having to fight has been
forced upon us and when we de
cide to stop fighting we want to
have the privilege of saying aud
deciding for ourselves whether j
or not the surrender of the ene- ;
my is complete. The proposals 1
which have been the outgrowth
of the latest conference with the ,
railroads are not at all new to tie
people of the stace. We have
seen the railroads adopt such a
policy before. They realize that
the Freight Rate Association is
creting a situation a little too
warm for their comfort, and that
the best plan they can adjpt for
the puroose of heading off the
activities or' this organization is to
create the impression that they
have run up the white flag. It
this plan of theirs succeeds we
may find the exira session of the
General Assembly convened with
no one on hand to prosecute the
case of the people against the in
tolerable conditions which the
railroads of the state have pro
duced. The campaign of the As
sociation has so far been both a
worthy and successful one, and
the people have not yet grown
weary in well doing. Keep the
tight up until September 24th,
and instead of having to accept
terms of peace we will be in a
position to dictate them.

A Co-operative Enterprise That Has!
Succeeded Others Have
Failed—Why It Has Succeeded.
There has beeaXso much said and so
much written redently about co-opera
tive enterprises and so many theories
advanced—some of them, by the way,
conflicting theories—that it is a pleasure
I to run tcross a co-operative enterprise
j that is really and truly a success.
; A few days ago wh3e in Hickory,. N. ■
I C., it was my pleasuri ta visit the "Cat
awba County and while J
j had heard much 'of and
knew in a way its work, I
was not prepared for what I saw on my
tour of inspection throvgh the plant.
Our party was in charge of the Secre
tary of the company, Mr. W. J. Shuford,
who has done so much*#"bring success
to the concera througnnis tireless ener
gy and never-failing optimism, and tho
( we plied hiin with questions galore he
was ever ready to respond with the de- •
sired Information. We could not re
frain from quoting silently over and over
again the oft-repeated statement of Presi
dent Barrett of the National Farmers'
Union that "It is an easy matter to make
a business go if you can only secure the
right kind of a man to place in charge."
The Catawba County Creamery has
solved the problem.
I want lo give Progressive Farmer
readers a few facts relative to the work
i of this enterprise in the hope that at
| least some community man "go and do
! likewise."
To begin with the history of this
movement is not unlike that of many
others in that it began in agitation le
sulting from a decline in prices, caused
by a congested market. This agitation
resulted in securing the services of J. A.
Conover, then a dairy expert with the
North Carolina State Department of Ag
riculture. This enterprise was primar
ily established as an experiment, but its
phenomenal success has demonstrated
that a co-operative creamery can be op- '
erated in this portion of the State. It
has been the means of bringing to the
farmers and dairymen a much higher
price for their products than they had '
been able to get heretofore.
This company was organized three '
years ago, the receipts for the first year
being about $13,000. During the past
year this business has grown to approxi- 1
mately $52,000 or SI,OOO per week. This
includes sales of eggs also, as the com- 1
pany is now handling these, having
bought and sold in the last 12 months
more than 75,000 dozen eggs. For these 1
they have paid an average price of 21 '
cents per dozen. During this period ap- '
proximately 100,000 pounds of butter has '
been made. The price paid-the farmers 1
for their butter-fat averaged last year 30 :
cents per pound. It is claimed that :
about one-sixth more butter can be made 1
from the same amount of milk than can 1
be-produced in the ordinary way. This
company has placed the De Laval sej>a-,
rator with most of their patrons and they !'
are now placing them on the installment 1
plan, thus putting them within reach of'
every farmer who wishes to patronize :
the creamery. At first two or three far
mers in the same community would buy
one separator but it soon became plaiu
that each patron should own his own
machiue, so the old plan was recently
discontinued.
The company is now operating six
routes, two of which extend into Cald- '
well county, two in Alexander, and the
other two in Catawba couuty exclusive
ly. These routes, are established in this
way: Some man is found with a horse
and wagon who is willing to take a
route on the commission plan (these
routes usually being something like 20
or 25 miles in length) and when the pat
ronage will justiiy it, this man is put on '
.a salary. I saw one of these wagons
coming in late in the afternoon loaded
with eggs and cream. This man, I was
told, was soon to be put on a salary. .1
was told that it was the intention of the
company to take in chickens just as soon
as arrangements for handling them could
be made.
I was shown over the new brick build
ing which is now nearing completion
and which it is hoped will be ready for
occupancy by the first of August. The
business of the creamery has grown so
rapidly that it became evident a few
months since that more ample quarters
should be provided. This building will
be equipped with all the modern con
veniences, electric lights, steam heat,
water, etc. A nice rest-ioom will be
fitted up where the farmers, their wives
and daughters when they come to town
may drop in to read the morning papers,
write letters, and make themselves at
home generally. I was told that on
some of the routes the Farmers' Union
people would gather up the eggs and
bring them to some point on the route
where the driver could take them up
without loss of time.
This enterprise has saved the people
of Catawba and adjoining counties
thousands of dollars and has given be
sides employment to quite a number of
people. Let me say, tho, that the path
of this enterprise has n:>t been altogeth
er one of pleasantness and peace. The
want of tbe cohesive power among the
average farmers had to be reckoned with
and on more than one occasion the fut
ure of the enterprise looked, to say the
least, very uncertain, but thanks to the
indomitable courage and grim determi
nation behind it the clouds disappeared
and today as we look back upon its his
tory the old adage comes to our mind,
"Nothing succeeds like success."
In conclusion let me say that what this
community has done dozens, yea scores,
of communities all over North Carolina
and the South can do. . All that is need
ed is "agitation, education, co opera
tion," a few men who have a little con
fidence in their kind, a little money and
lots of patience, determination and a lit
tle of that saving quality called optimism.
May the day soon come when, instead
of distrust among that vast army of those
who "till the soil," we shall find confi
dence in man and a little more inclina
tion to labor and to wait for results.
Then and not till then will ,the farmer
rightly come into his own. C. C. W.

that by virtue of the keys of binding
and loosing given His Holiness by my
