THE STORK AND THE FAIRIES.
rCedar Rapids Republican,

lCedar R9pldS RepuDncan.J
The Cedar Falls woman who fears
that the stork story eventually makes
parents out to be "prevaricators"-
when the children are old enough to
realize that it is not the stork that
brought them, is one OF those far
fetched notions that seem to possess
same modern moralists. No child
comes to the conclusion that its
mother lied about such a matter. The
truth dawns 80 gradually and the bit
Of childish fiction becomes a pretty
romance in the mind. The stork story
is one of the pretty fictions Of child
hood and no child has ever been NOR :
ally damaged by it. 1t is like the Idea
OF the fairies. OF course, every child
eventually grows into the knowledge
that there are no fairies. except the
fairies Of the mind.
II we are going to present nothing
except the naked truth to children
stripping the world OF all romance and
all fiction, 1t will be like filing the
stomachs OF children with oatmeal and
beef steaks. Others go so far az to
abhor dolls because dolls also belong
to the make-believe world.
But 1t 10 not less make believe. but
more make-believe that we need In
this world, for the children. We need
no. fewer fairies, but more. We need
the stimulus Of romance for the, i'm
aginations of the children, to the end
that they may not be ohsessed with
the dreadful realities OF lie when thei.
minds and bodies are under growth
