SOME ILLUSIONS OF YOUTH
Difficult Task confronts Parent In Us
folding World to chiId-Matter
for Medlts''cr.

The Illusions which youth entertains
once the most appalling and the most
delicate things with which older per
sons have to do. There is no lodging
the fact that the illusions must go.
The conscientious mother who has
taught her son that to lie is to sin
knows quite well that when he grows
older he will learn that lies are of two
kinds, white and blsck and that the
time will come when he will have to
tell white lies, and, because they are
so like the black lies against which
his mother admonished, he will find IL
hard.
And the father who looks upon his
daughters innocence with pride will
shudder little at the thought that
time will bring to her some cold ex-
amples of the duplicity of mankind.
If he is fearful. II is not without rea-
son; for on the parent devoIves the
duty of guiding the disillusioning
process. AS this is done well or i'll,
so will the childs view of life Re in
fiuenced, a writer In the Indianapolis
News remarks. II. for instance, a child
reared in home where kindness is
master is suddenly confronted with
the spectacle of two drunken men
brawling in the street, the child's illu-
sions are treated to an assault alto
gether beyond its power to combat.
In the course of events, It would nat
urally learn that men get drunk and
fight, but that is revelation which
should come to mind whose rules NJ
conduct are pretty we'll established. In
this case the parent may we'll be
moved to anguish.
To unfold the world to a child is a
matter for meditation and ingenuity,
and the parent who leaves 1t to chance
is no less guilty of maltreatment than
the parent who wantonly exposes a
child to q contagious disease, for the
mind of child is delicate instru-
ment Of SURPRISING constituencies.
