Often this savagery goes on j among a gang of boys, each of, the gang striving to surpass the' rest at devising new types of j torture. The moral efTcct is certainly ( bad The practice runs counter to . the kind and tender attitudes of most other persons toward help- ( less creatures. It is bullying to a , strong degree. Creature's Pain The child who tortures a dumb ] animal for amasement is not j using his imagination to put him- i self in that creature's place. He is ; not practicing sympathy or pity, bijt callousness to the tortured . creature's pain. He Is, therefore, less disposed to 1 have healthy emotions toward persons weaker than himself. He is less fit to be a good playmate i and companion of other children i He is less apt to grow up to be a ] likable and useful citizen. If your child is noticeably cruel to dumb animals, you might help i him by going with him to observe ' lowly creatures of the field and forest and helping him to learn < their ways. Teach him to build ind install bird houses and pro r'ide food, especially in winter, (of sirds and other wild animals. Positive Suggestions Also, by example and constant positive suggestions from you. he ihould gain from observing you with pets,and learn how to care tor them kindly. You should re strain him, sometimes, even with effective punishment, when you see him torturing an animal. Don't let him have a pet until pr unless you afford him proper guidance in its care and treat ment. Some children lose In kind ness to dumb animals by being allowed to have and handle pets like chicks, ducklings, especially around Easter time, which pine iway and die, for want of proper housing and care. All too often mere tots, not old enough to be gentle, are allowed lo roughly handle small turtles, loads and other creatures. Very few children under five or six are ready to hold In their hands such small and tender creatures, ex cept under the most skillful su pervision. Children also gain kindness to ward dumb animals from listen ing to suitable stories about them. The modern school with Its va riety of pets is doing a lot for cultivating kindness ia children toward dumb animals. ? lWf. King FMturgf Sya?iiaat?. Tn?. '40 ?gggggT Sm?rt ?t ?rifinot in ?
