The other little boy . was standing with a very determined set ‘to his “shoulders, while hiis I mother,; looking very hot * and .bothered, was insisting that ‘“he tell Jimmie ,'he was sorrybut with, no conviction in her voice that she . was doing;, the' right thing. I-quite admired , the small Billy—he didn’t look stubborn, 'but just as if he was sure of his rights as a citizen, but he looked l as if it would take a )bit of con vincing to make him say he was sorry, >when of course they all knew he wasn’t. Jt seemed a shame to make him lie about it. The picture was* of. course; very clear—Jimmy’s mamma was demanding an apology for her dear Jimmy. Billy’s mother, 4quite evidently, doubted the necessity, or the wisdom, of forcing the issue, but she wapted to be as considerate as possible, and she w anted her son to show tip well, and graciously ask pardon. That is one phase, in child training on which I couldn’t feel more strongly. To force an . ap ology seems to me the height of folly.. If a child hurts another child more than he . intends to, and is genuinely sorry, he will spontaneously ekclaim, “Oh, I’m sorry; I didn’t mean to hit so hard”—or whatever he did do, > without anyone prodding him in- ’ to an apology. But, if lie was ieally pretty mad, and the blow j was no harder than he meant it\ to ibe, then he fsn’t going to be. honestly sorry. After all, that’s what he intended.' If mama or teacher force him to make an | apology, they are forcirig him in-1 to a falsehood, and everyone in volved is well aware of it. Billy socks Jimmy and has to apolo gize—he is madder than ever and | in the back, Of his head he is • probably figuring how he ‘really I will give it’ to. Jimmy when^he I gets a chance. Jimmy knows Bil- ly didn’t mean that he was sorry, arid didn’t expect him to be. The two youngsters would have for^ gotten all about it without adult interference, but apologies are sometimes never forgotten. In the first place, the one vvhoj forces an apology must realize that there are two sides to every story, and must be sure of all the facts, in most, cases, by the time you have taken the trouble to bring everything to light, everyone wonders if it is 'Worth it, so why bother about it in the first. place!
