Tots Often
Difficult
At Bedtime
By DOROTHY V WHIPPLE. M D.
"Johnny Just won't go to bed
Sometimes it's even 10 or 11
o'clock before he quiets down."
Mrs. Williams sighed.
"I get him undrcsctd by 8. but
it's a drink of water, or a trip to
the bathroom, or 'where is the Are
engine parked?" or he is hungry.
"When he was younger he went
to bed like a lamb. But this night
ly ordtal is getting me down and
I have tried everything to break
him ."
"Trlrd everything" usually
means mother has tried spanking
and scolding and threatening.
Then she has tried ignoring, but
that breaks down and there are
more scoldings and scenes.
Scoldings just don't work The
Child loves all the commotion To
him it makes little difference
whether the excitement is good or
bad; hi- hardly distinguishes be
tween praise and scolding To him
it's, just activity, and he is the
Center of it. lie loves it. and will
keep on doing w hatever brings
this lovely excitement sueh as
getting out of bed a dozen times
an evening.
If you ean't get your child to
bed at night, try something like
this;
Sec to it tliat he Rets up in the I
morninR. No long mornine naps to
make up for lost sleep the night |
b?'fore.
Insist on a nap during the day
? some children pet too tired to!
go to sleep. However tile nap:
should In early in the afternoon
so that' there is time for vigorous!
play, outdoors if possible, in the
afternoon
An early pleasant supper with
plenty of time for conversation
and companionship with the whole j
family. I'lay and a continued
pleasant time after supper for a|
short while This play should be
quiet- no rough-housing or boist
erous games. ,
Then a warm bath, pajamas and
bed.
Now conies the rub.
You put him to bed.
Make sure lie has had his drink
and Rone to the bathroom. Ask if
'everything is arranged for the
night Then tell him once you have
Shptme's ?

Tell him he is to stay in he<l.

take your chair anil put il iicai

him up quietly and put him link

Ilon't say one word. Don't scold,
don't smile, don't talk, lie just as
stupid and uninteresting as you can
possibly lie. Ite'll he surprised and
do his best to get a reaction out of
you. Don't let liim. Don't get angry,
don't laugh ? no matter what he
does. I'ut him hack to lied I T> times

Newest way for a coat to look
i outstanding not only in sil
houelts, hut iri the dramatic use
of fabric.
The dome silhouette Is a favo
rite by far. Beautifully adaptable
as part of a costume or a coat
alone, it features rounded should
i i s and cylindrical sleeves and
circular fullness that starts just
under the shoulder. Soft box pleat
adds fluidity to newest coats.
The dome coat comes in hip,
three-quarter, seven-eighths and
full-long!h. It may he made to

Related to the dome and a pro

the shortie barrel coat Cropped
close to tile waist, it is caught in
the width of its flare and drama

worn. Kashion emphasizes the

Capelets are notoworth spring

fullness.
While the fitted coat has not
passed completely out of the pic
ture, new variations change its
name. Most important is the tunic
which is built out at the shoulders,
semi-fitted through the middle and
softly flared below the waist. This
tunic length is newest anil a trend
to many fashion categories. Anoth
er semi-fitted coat is favored in a
ftti-inch length.
The titled princess attains new
personality from crisp silks, alpaca
and blends, and some exciting bro

styfe mav be worn with equal ef- :
fectiveness as a coat dress or en

There is a new flare coat that
is slightly stiffened on the lines
of a modified cupola. It appears j
in fleeces and tweeds, as well as
I silks, linens and cottons. New i
straight coats have a rounded and '
tapered look from shoulder to ham.
Many of these are available in
two-thirds, three-quarter or full
lengths.
Kitted Shorties
Other shorties, cropped at the

Young Child's Reading Ability
Ry GARRY CLEVELAND MYERS, Ph.D.
WHEN a child learns to read,
he learns to connett words on
the printed page with their mean
ing. While he does learn to pro
nounce these words, his mere
pronounctatlon of them Is not
reading. Reading Is primarily a
thinking process.
You may easily ascertain
whether your child, seven, nine
or twelve, really <reads when he
aeeins to be reading. Just ask him
to read aloud a paragraph or sev
eral sentences from his school
book, and then tell you In his
own words what he has read. Or
ask him a tew questions to find
out If he has got the meaning ex
pressed by what he appeared to
read. Or you might ask him to
read from such material silently
and then tell you what he "read
to himself."
Thus, the child may demon
strate that he got all the main
ideas expressed by the words he
presumably read, some of them,
or none at all. How many he got
Is a measure of how well he read.
Pronunciation Important
Of course. If he must read
aloud, his Inability to pronounce
most or all the words could slow
up or hinder his getting the
meaning, though to a less degree
perhaps If he had read It silently.
In either event, he wont make
much progress unless he can rec
ognize and pronounce most of
the words he Is supposed to read.
The child who has been read to
great deal before he enters
(CoerrlaM. 1M4. xta? 1
schools has had good practice at
connecting the words he hears
with meaning This experience
helps him, as he learns to read,
to be Interested In meaning Oc
casionally, a child In the first or
second grade, on hearing a story
In his reader once or a few times,
may suppose he Is reading as he
rattles It oft from memory with
out connecting It with the words
of the story at all A parent or
teacher can easily spot thlf child
and help him connect the words
as he says them.
The more Interested a child Is
In what he Is really reading, the
faster he masters saying the
words.
Reading Clinic
Thinking and getting meaning
from words was the major em
phasis at a recent annual reading
Institute, on whose staff I served.
We met at Temple University,
In the Reading Clinic directed by
that world-famed reading expert,
Dr Emmet A. Betta
Observing the demonstrations
with numerous individual chil
dren lagging several years In
reading, the hundreds of special
reading teachers and directors of
corrective and remedial reading
at schools throughout the United
States and Canada were Impres
sed with the importance of put
ting more emphasis on helping
the child to think and get mean
ing as he Is being taught to read.
