That there is much discomfort with
work among the so called middle
classes in America is due in large part
to the pampering Of children. to the
supplying Of their natural and artificial
wants and to the sentimental idea that
.'their day of toll will come soon
enough" In general, work is not a
curse. but blessing-a positive means
Of grace. One can hardly begin toe
early to impress upon children lessons
Of self help by tasks appropriate tc
their age and forces and to beget in
them scorn Of idleness and Of depend
ence on others. To do this is to make
them happy through the self respect
that comes With the realization of pow
