EIGHT THE LA PLATA HOME PRESS. I.A PLATA, MISSOURI THURSDAY, FERRUARY 1 12, 1981 OTHER PROBLEM By MRS. DOROTHY COFFEEN CHILDREN morally come as into they the will world ever be. Even at the ages of three and four many "weeds" may have grown amongst the "rarer flowers" of sweet, desirable traits. These "weeds" may not seem serious because it is common theory that children outgrow them, but do they? We are all acquainted with the person who speaks with a whine in voice, the one who does most of complaining when there 1s least complain about.

There Is little doubt that this whine began very early, fretting no doubt because an own way was not granted. The outlook for child who whines is sad indeed for he is bound to be unpopular with his fellows. There are many little ways in which tendency to "Whininess" may be encouraged and the danger of them lies the fact that they are often the most trivial circumstances when mother must be very keen witted indeed to realize their significance. Perhaps at a children's party the seed was planted when little Mary wiggled around on one foot with fingers her mouth and said, "No, I don't want pin the tale on the donkey," all the time being very anxious to. When the game was over and Mary had had turn she whiningly changed her tone, "I want to pin the tale on, haven't had a turn!" "Well, the cute thing said all the adults, "she wantto all the time." Whereupon Mary giggled and gurgled, exceedingly proud her little trick.

What an excellent lesson for her if she had been told that her turn had passed, that she had said she didn't want to play and now was too late to change her mind! Perhaps it is started in a small group of playmates, one having toy that another one wants. Some the children are content with the owner's statement that the toy belongs to him and he doesn't wish anyone else to have it, but not so this one child who is determined to obtain temporary possession at all costs. tries strategy, trading one of his it, begging for it, finally whining it until an adult who is nearby admonishes the owner of the toy to the other child have it for a while. Had the adult not interfered at this point that child would have learned that whining would have netted him no results except that the other children would have turned on their heels and left him, but with the interference of the adult and the consequent yielding on the part of the owner of the toy, that whiny child WOn a victory. The next time he would whining again.

Harry Boice of White Deer, Texas, arrived Tuesday to visit her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Narron. To the Voters of Macon County Because Macon county parents are interested in the qualifications of the person who is to serve as County Superintendent of School, and because all voters are interested in the efficient and economical administration of the office, I submit to you parents and voters a statement of my reasons for seeking this office.

I know from personal contact the needs of our rural schools and have made a special study of their problems. I am now a member of a committee appointed by the State Department of Education to help revise the courses of study for the rural schools of Missouri. Born on a Macon county farm in a community where my ancestors have lived since the very beginning of the county, my early education was in the rural school which forms the firm foundation for our American institutions. That I might meet the higher scholarship required of Missouri teachers, I attended the Chillicothe School and had three years of training in the Northeast Missouri Teachers College at Kirksville. But my twenty years of successful teach ing in rural schools, 12 of which were at Anabel, have given me that essential knowledge of conditions and needs which only ripened experience can furnish.

About three fourths of our teachers are women. It is most fitting that they should work with a woman of mature experience and sympathetic knowledge of modern educational and sociological problems. For years there have been women superintendents in the neighboring counties of Knox. Shelby, Chariton. Marion, Clarke, Monroe and Schuyler.

Having intimate knowledge of the taxation problems that confront our citizens in both rural and town territory, I am prepared to recommend only such measures as can be met with economy and efficiency. If possible, I shall meet all of the voters personally, but whether or not I visit your home, I ask a consideration of these reasons for your support of my candidacy. MARY F. GRAVES, Anabel.
