Parents and
the Child
The Mental Pains of Little
Ones as Inflicted by
Carless Elders
by Virginia Terhune Van de Water

Copyright 1915. by Star Company.
Children have right to the care-free
existence proper 20 their age
| Parents who think that they recognize
this fact feel that In granting to young
creatures such toys, comrades and amuse-
ments as childhood Graves they are dis
charging their duties along this line.
But there are stlll other things neces-
sary to make chic rood the happy time
II should be. one OF these Is freedom from
worries that are outside the province Of
youth.
Children are supposed 20 be. az q class,
needless little creatures, But they differ
In temperament as much as do their
elders. some small boys and giris have a
capacity for suffering that would Appall
their parents were It's existence recog-
nized. And one OF the strangest things
about children Is their reticence.
One would think that the trustful
youngster would 30 TO the mother with
every imaginary OF real worry. On the
contrary. children keep most OF their
most poignant distress TO themselves.
They may complain of physical disoom-
fort or pain. but Of their spiritual and
mental sufforings they say nothing.
One child told n lie and underwent
torments OF conscience for weeks, re-
Numbering that lie. He had told Il to his
mother and had stuck TO Il with such
obstinacy that she believed him. His pride
prevented his retraoting 1t. Moreover. his
dearly loved mother had said to him:
II know you are telling me the truth.
darling. We're / TO learn now that you
had lied think II would Just about kill
me-"
lie was only and took her statement
literally. In the daytime he could quiet
his conscience with the assurance that
everybody once in a while told fib. But
at night, alone In the dark. he would
brood over that lie. and each letter OF
the fearful word was 4 great black
capital.
In him added to his agony. Again and
again he would start out OF bed, deter
mined to go to her room and sob out his
confession. Then the words, Were I 20
learn now that you had lied TO me 1
think It would kill me-" would recur TO
him and he would creep miserably back
into bed. His mother was not strong. Sup
pose his confession were really TO kill her.
Then he would be a murderer!
! Does It all sound ridiculous and sense-
less. oh. wise and sane srownups? or
! course II does. but let him who has for
gotten the imaginations OF childhood
scott at H. Not until this poor nervous
little boy was man grown did he tell his
mother Of the agony he had undergone
when hardly moro than a baby. Together
they laughed over the episode. But once
1t had semeed tragedy to the small
sufferer.
Another child heard her father say that
when his ship came in he was going to
take his wife around the world.
IL was all in fun. But the child bo-
lieved It. Little did the father suspect
how anxiously she listened with dread
unspeakable for news of the ship which
would take her parents from her and
Danish her TO a boarding school.
As little pitchers have big ears, let us
be careful what we pour into them.

Some Of the greatest men and women
in the worlds history believed in astrol-
ogy and consulted the stars when about
to make any venture Of Importance.
Catherine de Medici and Napoleon were
devout students OF this science. A belief
in astrology was almost universal in the
seventeenth century Kings and queens
and prime ministers kept their personal
astrologers as they keep secretaries to-
day.
Astrology was the parent OF astronomy
The child has forgotten the parent, or
remembers but to sneer. Yet that a great
truth lies under all the debris OF super
stition which hides this old science from
modern eyes is as positive as that
mighty intelligence lies under all the
confusing IDEAS OF God which exist in
various parts OF the world today
The astrolOgers OF old gave their whole
lives 20 the study OF the planets and their
Influence upon the earth and human life

The celebration of the anniversary

Morocco, received many of the chiefs of
