rational might be made of Christmas toy
buying"
The influence of war toys upon chill
dren-whether 1t be good or ill, Is .
thing to be decided by the parents them
selves. Those who do not believe in war
will. Of course, select toys not suggestive
OF future preparedness via the mental
suggestion route. Certain it is that war
toys produce an effect.
TOY dyspepsia Is a disease OF the
time from which most children suffer. ac-
cording to Levin. "The average Ameri-
can child has SO darn many toys that
none holds any meaning. The child gets
the benefit Of any toy which appeals to
its grown-up relatives and friends as
cute or as the conventional thing. II
schoolbooks were bought as badly al
our toys are. our educational system
would be much rottener than it is-and
It is rotten enough. There can be no de-
nying that toe many elaborate toys in
volving no necessity Of the magic words
lets pretend dull the imagination and
make the body slow and inactive"
Toys possess q further usefulness as Q
common ground between parents and
children. Not for the parent who conde-
scendingly consents to sit on the floor a
I0W moments, OUT IOI tu0 one VITO enters
into the play with the spirit OF childhood
and as much as possible Of the childish
viewpoint in his heart. Such play helps
the parent to better understand the child
and builds up Q "chums" relation. The
attitude Of parents or other members of
the family toward . favorite plaything
often builds up In the child's heart q
subconscious dislike which materializes
years later in family dissension.
Most important as an educational fac
tor. says Levin, are children's books OF
tremendous value in character building,
or of absolute poison-destroying charac-
ter, they must be selected according to
the child. "Ivanhos," which may develop
one boys Imagination, may sew seeds Of
race prejudice in the mind of another.
What may shock . sense Of color and
dramatic values into q phlegmatic dis
position may induce neurotic tendencies
n nervous organism. There is no rule
which may be laid down for supplying
children with books-excepting the rule
which forbids the French novel type Of
literature.
Sex matters must be explained By
parents. When they are talked over
among children they become distorted
and htdeous: only parents, or those as
suming the place Of parents. can present
such things In their true light and pre-
yeut inpreasions which may mar whole
litA.
