24 WHITE AND GOLD 'Owing to recent family additions, a popular conundrum around school is: t lWhich member of the faculty comes to school as late as possible and goes home as early as possible? and which member, on the other hand, comes as early as poEsible and leaves as late as possible? Have you solved it? THEORY AND PRACTICE. HYou canlt talk to me about raising children. I guess I know just about as much about it as any one. I do think it's scandalous the way some people let their youngsters carry on. There isnlt a reason in the world why a child cant be made to mind. All you have to do is to per- severe and you will accomplish the desired ends. Ilve attended mothersl meetings ever since I have been married, and I know all of the best meth- ods and understand perfectly all the theories of child raising. Itls per- fectly cruel to administer corporal punishment and I, for one, donlt be- lieve in it. Why, it's simply inhuman. A Whipping does all very well for a dog, but a childv-bless his heart-should be treated in a different way. As I said before, all you have to do is to use patience, kindness and perseverance, and you will have no trouble at all. Never give up, just keep at a thing and you will succeed. Just here a shrill sound was heard at the other end of the hall, sug- gestive of a small Indian war cry: l t Hoo-hoo! Hoo-hoo!

WHITE AND GOLD 25 HYes, but Percival, dear, you mustn,t make such a noise. It dis- turbs the meeting. Hoo-hoo. ii UPercival! mama said not to do that. A little pause, and then, t t Hoo-hoo-o. , i t t Now mind mama and be quiet. i i Percival cast a sidelong glance at his mother and then out came the itHoo-hoo once more. HPercival! If you dont be quiet, that big lady will come down here and scold Percival dreadfully.H After a little, NLook, mama, look, Hoo-hoo!H HNow dont you dare say that again. A short pause followed in which Percival alternately looked at his mother and at the ladies at the other end of the hall. i t Say, mama, looke-Hoo-hoo !' , ttPercival! IeIe-I dont know what I shall do With you. Don't you dare say that again. H A little longer pause followed this, and then a little after came the HHoo-hoo!H HLook here, young man, if you dare say that again 1,11 shut you up in that dark closet in the corner. , i The young experimenter looked once at his mother and then twice at the closet. HHoo-hoof, he shrilled tentatively. At this Percival was taken hold of with rather violent hands and marched in the direction of the closet. t tMamafs going to shut you up in that dark, black closet. ' i H1,11 come out again. t t No, you can't come out until you can be a good boy. i i Here the closet door was opened and shut, and When it shut Percival was on the other side of it. It immediately opened again, however, and our hero appeared. ttPercival, I told you to stay in there. And he was put in again. This time the door was locked. As before he tried the door but finding it would not open, he set up such a howl that the ladies all turned around wonderingly. That would never do, so mama unlocked the door. itIf you will be good now and not say tHoo-hool' any more, Iill let you out. Now run and play. Mamais darling caught up his ball and bounded across the door. ttHoo-hooy, HHoo-hoo!H he called, and the echo came back softly With a UHoo-hoo! Hoo-hoo?y
