CHILDREN OF UAP.
They Dont Have to Worry About
Food, Clothes or Shelter.

In describing Zap. one of the Caro-
line islands. Or. w. III. Furness says
that children become more or less pub
lie property on that island as soon as
they are able to run about from house
TO house.
They cannot without extraordinary
exertlon fall off the island. and. like
little guinea pigs. can find food any
where. Their clothing grows by every
roadside. and any shelter or no shelter
IS good enough for the night. They
cannot starve. There are no wild
beasts or snakes TO harm them. What
matters it If they sleep under the high,
star powdered ceiling Of their foster
mothers nursery or curl up on mats
beneath their fathers thatch?
There is no implication here that
parents are not fond OF their children.
On the contrary. they love them so
much that they see their own children
in all children. 1t is the ease Of life
and its surroundings which have afro
phled the emotion Of parental love.
When father has merely to say to
his wife and children. Go out and
shake your breakfast off the trees"
or, go to the thicket and gather your
clothes" to him the struggle for ex-
istence is meaningless. and without
struggle the prizes Of life are held In
light esteem.
Somebody's children are always
about the houses and to the fore in
all eXcitements. and never did I see
them roughly handled or harshly treat
