SPANKING THE CHILD
NOVELIST’S VIEWS. “It depends on the child,” said Miss Faith Baldwin, the novelist, who passed through Auckland in the Mariposa on Monday on her return to America. “Some children are very sensitive and if you spank them they go crazy. Others you just can’t manage without good old-fashioned discipline. Discipline with justice —that is the soundest plan.” Children differed such a lot, Miss Baldwin said. A few years ago psychologists were up in arms against “conditioning” the child; he must not be inhibited, interrupted in his development. Now they favoured a little old-fashioned chastisement, which was all to the good.
