Obedience the First Great Step in the Train
ing of Little U. S. Citizens.
i By MARY E. DOZIER, National Kindergarten Association
The question of obedience to the laws of the home and to the com
munity confronts each individual. Some pass it lightly by, giving it little
thought, and less observance, but not so the thoughtful parent or teacher
to whom the care of children is entrusted.
Obedience should underlie the life of each of us; it is essential to
happiness. Only as we learn to listen and obey are we fitted to take out
rightful place in society. We must obey the laws of nature if we would
be healthy, the laws of home and community if we would be worthy mem
bers of each group, and above all, there must be obedience to the moral
law.
Since obedience is such an important factor in each life, how can we
best teach it to the child without destroying his individuality?
f fMany mothers admit their inability to obtain obedience, and teachers
are often asked, “How do you make him obey? He does not mind me at
all.” A dreadful confession, but since it is made, let us try to help these
mothers. First, let us ask a few questions:
Do you govern your child by love or by fear?
Are you honest with him ?
Are your demands reasonable and do you explain why you make cer
tain requirements?
Do you talk indiscreetly before your child and admit your inability
to control him ?
Do you require prompt obedience or do you tolerate disobedience and
belated performance of duty ?
These questions are all involved in obedience. Obedience is subjeo
tion to rightful control at all times and in all places.
Yet many parents are satisfied with only occasional obedience. One
day a mother expects immediate response to her request, while a little
later she waits indefinitely for obedience. The child under such conditions
j^oceeds to decide matters for himself, and his motto becomes, “With
mother, obey when it is convenient.” Such a child soon demoralizes the
children of the whole neighborhood.
Last, but perhaps of greatest concern to parents, is the advice tc
settle with disobedience at the time; tally today’s books today, unless some
act requires a future opportunity for correction.

Forecast of Supremacy of Chicago as j
Financial Metropolis of Nation
_jr J. *
By J. C. WOODHULL, Formerly of War Trade Board
Chicago has tributary to it the domain of an empire. The area
drained by the Mississippi river and its tributaries, with its navigable lakes
and rivers, unlimited water power, fertile soil, inexhaustible mineral de
posits and forest growth, coupled with the enterprise and energy of its
people, has developed this region into the largest productive area of raw
materials in the world.
A summary shows that more than half of the population of the
United States lives in this great valley. It contains 70 per cent of the
4arm acreage of the nation, 75 per cent of its manufacturing industries,
and the combined railroad systems in mileage and value represent 70 pdr
ccfat of all its similar property. It produces 75 per cent of the wheat, 80
per cent of the hogs, 75 per cent of the cattle, 50 per cent of the sheep, 50
per cent of the wool, 70 per cent of the cotton, 70 per cent of the oil, 90
per cent of the iron ore, 50 per cent of the lumber, and 60 per cent of the
bituminous coal.
The commanding position of Chicago, the financial center of this
ao-ore^ation of potential wealth and boundless possibilities, determines its
destiny as the future headquarters of the export business of the United
States. As a result of the war a famine of raw materials and manufac
tured products prevails the world over, and the supply available for
export in any considerable quantity is to be found only in the main pro
ducing territory of the United States, the basin of the Mississippi valley.
There exists no other equal area whose production exceeds this, and
with such a constant inflow of wealth, can there be any question as to the
supremacy of Chicago as the future financial metropolis of the Uniter.
