the nervous system has to be purged OF it.

carthasis, and a very famous psychologist Dr.

tragedy is one of the most efficacious forms

delicate women who are trying to suppress
some deep grief. In witnessing sorrow por.

Why BOYS Should Play "INDIAN' and 'sCOWBOY'

or Sissy" is bound to play train robber
pirate, Indian. and during his play hours
to pursue sort of bloody make-believe
avocation. There has lately appeared a
tendency to suppress childish play of this sort,
to curtail Indian and pirate literature. substitut.
ing for it educational" books.
To deprive the small boy in this way is not
merely unwse, but dangerous. What sensible
folks term allowing the child an outlet" is
based on soundly scientific principles. The
ologians to the contrary, We all come into the
world without a conscience. The normal
healthy small child has no moral sense any
more than he has the ability to say his alphabet.
He has TO be taught both.
