Wilfred Chev- i. “A Good Mother is a Woman Who Prepares Her ._ Children for Life, Who Tries to see Them as They ‘are Instead of as She Would Like ~ Them to be, Who Put-s the Iron of Cour- age Into Their Souls.” ' CORRESPONDENT asks: "What is your idea of a good mother?" The traditional idea of the good mother is something gooey and soft and sweet and sticky, and with aboutas much substance to it as gelatin pud- ‘ding. That is the ides that most women have of being good mothers. They think they have been good mothers if they have worshipped their children enough. and ii’ they have made iioormats of them- selves for their children, and if they have shed en- ough tears over their children. You never hear oi a girl who‘ has gone wrong, or of a boy who is a drunkard, or a bootlogger. or a. thief, or a gambler, that. omebody doesn't say what a good mother she olilze had. The tragic figure in every murder trial is not the criminal at the bar, but a forlorn, broken, martyred woman, who is wringing her helpless hands and saying what a good mother she was. These mothers thought they were good mothers because from the time their first baby was born they _ never had any other thought except for their children. They thought they were good mothers because they sacrificed their every thought and desire to their children. They thought they were good mothers because they indulged their children in everything that it was possible to get by hook or crook for them. They thought they were good mothers because they never saw a. single fault in their children, or denied them anything, or made them do anything they didn't want to do. . - But they ‘were bad mothers because they fostered every weakness in their childrens natures and developed every fault, and made it inevitable that they would take the easiest way to their desires when they were gran. Good mothers rear good citizens. Their children are never crim- n . New my idea of a goodméther is not a spineless, jellyfish woman. On the contrary, she has a backbone like a telephone post. She loves her chil- dren, but she loves them too well to bring them up so everybody else hates them. She sacrifices herself to her children, but she sees that they give up to her, also. Her children do not think of her as just a tear rug. They lock upon her as the incarnation of law and order. They know that they can ai- ways count on her help and sympathy, but they likewise know that she will mete out justice as well as mercy to them. ‘ My idea oi a good mother is B. woman who prepares her children for life. She looks about her and she sees that most of the derelicts and the failures, those who have not been able to make the grade, are the men and women who are the round pegs have got into the square holes, or the men and women who have never been disciplined, who have never been taught any habits of thrift and industry and préseverance. ' Sc the good mother tries to get a true slant on her children, and to see them as they are. instead cf what she would like them to be. She doesn't deceive herself into believing that ii~glrl with a snub nose and carroty hair and a. chunkyfigure is destined to be a. movie star or marry a millionaire. Nor does she delude herself into believing that because Tommy can pick out a tune on thepiano with one finger that he is a second Paderwskl; nor that because Sammyevsdes doing all household chores it is an indication that he has an artistic temperament that will make him a great writer or actor or something. Far from it. The good mother doesn't see her ugly duckllngs as swans. She recognizes fhem as plain barnyard fowls and helps them ‘to make the taught some good and sufficient way_'of supporting herself since she is likely always to have to do it, and that her boys with a mechanical or musical tum t take up some profession in which their aptitude will count. The good mother teaches her children self-control, because that is the foundation stone of happiness and success in life. She teaches them to con- trol their tempers and that makes them masters of every situation. She teaches them to control their tongues, and that makes them diplomats that can get along with anybody in any situation. She teaches them to control their appetites, and they never become drunkards. She teaches them to re- strain their passions and her daughters neverhecomewcmenof the street, nor her sons murderers. The good mother puts iron intoher children's souls. She breeds in them the courage to do and to endure. She teaches her very babies to bite back the cry when they fall and hurt themselves. She never lets her youngsters whine nor complain because they are not so rich as others are, or because the . thing they have to do is herd. She makes them feel that the yellowest thing ‘ m‘ the world is to be a quittcr, and that it is a point ofhonor to finish up every Job, no matter how trivial, that they have undertaken to do. , The good mother makes her children's home a place of peace and love and tenderness and comprehension and hope. The rooms may be small and . crowded. the furniture rickety, the food plain, but mother is always there ‘ with her jolly laugh, never too busy to stop and talk things over with a fellow p when he is in a lam, always with a suggestion that will set things right; al- ways full of hope and encouragementfalways laughing with her children, never at them. .4 good mother recognizes that her children are regular human beings with their own individual tastes, talents and inclinations, even as she is. a She doesn't try to make them rubber stamps of herself. She gives their l, personality as free play as she can and uses as much finesse in getting along with them as she does with the strangers next door. She doesn't nag them about little things. She respects their privacy and doesn't pry too much into their affairs, and because she doesn't offend their sensibility with vulgar curiosity they confide in her. Finally, a good mother is unselfish enough to try to absorb her children. She doesn't expect to be ali-in-all to them and to keep them from establish- ing any other relationships. She doesn't arrogate to herself the right to dir- ect their lives, and so she does not resent their marrying, or wish herself an them as a life guest when they do marry, or hate her ln-laws because s e feels that they have taken her place in a son or daughter s heart. All that she asks is Just to have turned out a good job as a mother and to have‘ reared up the sort of children, whose husbands and wives bless their mother-in-laws name and never think of the divorce 60H!“- ll " hall k th ."
