Spontaneous Desire to "Invent"
Is Worth Preserving.
DO NOT LOOK FOR THE MOTIVE
Impulse to Create Somcthlna Unusual
May Be Directed Into Channels
That Are Worth While With-
out Being Suppressed.
By SIDONIE GRUENBERG.
THIS first day of father's little vaca
tion it rained, so they could not go
on thu excur.slmi, as planned. That
Bavo father a vhuiicb to eatcb uj) with
fiotuo rending, as everyone had to stay
Indoors. The first Iiitorruptlmi came
when .luines brought him an odd con
trlvanci! made up of sticks and wires
and strings. James was very uiitliusl
hhIIc, and father iiallently laid his
book aside to see what was going oh.
"Oh, father, see how It looks l" ex
claimed the inventor, and as everyone
looked on he pulled one of thu strings.
There was a twisting and straining
among the sticks and wires, and oue of
tho sticks Jerked away from Us com
panions and stood out straight. Tho
younger members of the family wero
enchanted, and the youngest unld, "Do
It ugulu I" Hut father failed to get ex
cited. "Well, what Is It?" he asked.
"Oh, It's Just n machine," exclaimed
James, somewhat chilled. "Kvery time
I pull thu string that stick llles up,
you see."
Yes, father saw. "What's tho use
of It?" hit queried,' perhups as much
to make conversation and to encourago
the child us to satisfy his own curios
ity. James hud to udullt that It was of no
use, but maintained stoutly that It
worked. Father was permitted to re
turn to his book, and the children
went back to their play. But James
hud not been encouraged. On tho con
trary, ho had been Infected with n sug
gestion that might, Indeed In the
courso of time stlmulatu him to fur
ther effort, but one that would utmost
certainly take the edge off his spon
taneity. Father, with his experience uud with
his feeling of responsibility, had
reached the point of planning his time
and calculating his energy expen
ditures, lie knew u good reason for
everything ho did outside of the or
dinary routine, like rending a novel or
going to a baseball game. lie also
knew it good reason why ho followed
Rome of his routine like hanging up
his coat or Interviewing peoplo with
his back to tho window. Everything
lie did wus cither tho result of hublt
or tho result of deliberate Intention.
And ho hud forgotten that children
sometimes net without motive and
without purpose.
One of tho commonest reasons for
our failure to get along with young
children, und for our failure to get
the most out of them, Is our attempt to

that may in time be turned to good
use.
understand their actions lu termB of
our own nnturer motives and values.
Or rutber, there is generally no at
tempt to understand at all, merely n
measuring and criticizing on tho as
sumption that their "reasons" for do
ing things are similar to our own.
The child does this and thut to begin
with Just because ho has the Impulse
to tnovo, to work his muscles. When
he Is able to handle materials with
florae precision ho will mako new com
binations und urrungements for no
earthly purpose whatever. There Is
satisfaction In the doing, us thero is
satisfaction In play, or In eutlng; but
there Is no calculation that leuds to
tho adoption of means for gulnlng tho
satisfaction. In time, however, tho
girls and boys learn to select what they
will do. They will do one thing be
cause they know they will like tho re
sults; they will do another thing be
cause It brings them some recognition
or some material rownrd. But ulways
thero will bo Impulses to try something
new, something thut may have a liappy
ending, or something that may havo an
unhappy ending, but tho lmpulso Is
related to tho trying, to tho contriving,
to tho doing, and not to tho posslblo
rewnrds of punishments. When tho
child docs something that Is out of tho
ordinary wo uro not to look for n pos
sible Inventiveness, that may in tlmo
bo turned to good uso.
So much of what grown-up peoplo
do every day Is related to getting cer
tain rewnrds that wo aro In danger of
overlooking tho fact thut wo would do
quite othcrwlso If wo wero entirely
free. And wo overlook tho fact thut
eome of tho best work wo our
selves accomplish Is qulto devoid of
any "motive" of matcrlul reward. Thus
we get Into tho habit of Interpreting
all conduct, Including tho children's, In

I relation to the question "What's the
use?"
I Hut this question Is quite proper, It
( h even necessary. Children must learn
to conserve tlioli energy and lo make
full use of their time and of their re
sources. The only danger Is that wo
shall narrow the range of "usom" that
are to guide us uud our children In
controlling and directing the Impulses.
Wo must recogulzu that having fun
solving puzzles or contriving gim
micks or whittling a stick Is quite as
legitimise a motive for a child as get
ting satisfaction by mending clothes
or building a fence or "making money"
Is for adults.
It ,ls better for the child to be mak
ing something for the fun of making it
than to do nothing for lack of some
thing "useful" to do. The Kdlsons and
Kultons and Howes are rare enough;
but every normal child Is considerably
more of nn Inventor than we ordinarily
recognize. Most of us stop Inventing
rather early in life because those who
are u few years older ask the stupid

question, "What's the use?" We dis
credit tho Inventor because ho does
things out of the conventional, or lie
cause wo do not see thu value of thu
tinkering. When ho happens to innko
something that the rest of us can usu
we aro likely to assume that he did
tho "useful" thing because he wanted
us to reward him for it. Hut the facts
nro probably Inverted by us. We re
ward the useful results, und thus en
couraged him to try again.
We should do all we can to preserve
tho child's spontaneous Impulses not
"pickle" them und as the child grows
older to direct them Into useful chan
nels. He will lenru soon enough what
kinds of contrivances ure worth whllu;
tho first thing to guard ugatnst Is the
suppression of the Joy of doing und
contriving.
FEATS OF TURKISH PORTERS
Fierce Kurds Carry Great Odds No
Burden Too Great, and Their
Pay Is Small.
More varied, us a spectacle, than the
veiled women of the Gnlata Bridge are
the hamuls, or coolies. Most of these
cnrrlers uro Kurds, flerco people of the
eastern mouutulus who havo fullen into
the low estate of selling their strength
to city dwellers.
I know tho feats of transportation
achieved by Chinese servants, by Jnp
uueso go-rlkkles, by hill women of the
Hlmulayas, by dusky coolies of India
uud thu Straits, but to the Kurdish hn
mal must be uccorded the palm us burden-bearer.
Yonder man curries on his back a
bedsteud and muttrcss fastened on top
of u great basket. Tito next man car
ries 20 watermelons us one loud. Here
Is uuotLer with 24 square feet of plute
gluss mirror In u frunie, and following
him one who curries a roll-top desk,
und on top of thut tin otllce chair.
Thero must have been u furniture sulu
somuwhere, for the next fellow benrs a
sofu and two parlor chairs.
Now comes a humid groaning under
tho weight of two kegs of white lead
or pulnt a heavier load thun his
mate's more showy burden of 38 flvc
gullon oil cutis. And here comes one
with H3 wooden boxes ou his back.
Not all tho huinals ure young and
strong. Here comes an old Albanian,
whose load of tigs bends him to the
ground. As If to point thu contrast,
two boys with huge hampers on their
backs come prancing und playing
pranks.
Is not this next coolie currying the
heuvlest loud of all? On his buck Is a
full-sized packing case, and lashed to
It are other lurge wooden boxes. Thut
Is no white mun's burden. A not un
common loud for hamuls, I am told, is
300 pounds. Is thero uny other city lu
tho world where men work so nurd to
cum five or ten ceuts? Youth's Com
panion. As to Golf.
It wus tho olllce of tho grent spott
ing newspuper, and the golf editor was
taking u brief holiday. In his nb
senco tho Inquiries from renders
which the golfing ninn answered
through his correspondence columns
wero handed to the racing editor.
"Which Is tho better course," wrote
an ardent follower of tho royal and
nnclent game, "to fuzzle one's putt or
to fetter on tho too?"
Tho turf man tilted back his chair
and smoked five cigarettes before tak
ing his pen in hand. Then, when he
had como to n decision on tho weighty
problem, he wrote ns follows:
"Should n player snaggle his Iron, It
Is permissible for him to fuzzlo his
putt; but a better plan would bo to
drop his guppy Into tho prlnglo and
snoodlo It out with niblick."
A Protest
"Whut I wunt," sold the restless per
son, "Is nn eight-hour day."
"Why, you don't do raoro than two
or three hours' actual work any day."
"Thut's tho trouble. If I don't get
occuputlon enough to consume more
time, It'll soon begin to look as if
they didn't need me at all."
