are several ways we are doing this
 We may bounce down upon him suddenly when an accident inten- tionai or otherwise, has occurred and gruffly demand his guilt or innocen- cy. It matters not whether he s guilty or innocent: the answer will be the same: not guilty. Why? Be cause the instinct ol self preservation which includes fear, demands that he save himself from possible personal violence. And who can blame him Some psychologists go to far as t. throw doubt on the maEtality of the child who will rot do so, We have Il great amount of evidence of famous men who. as children, did not hesitate to lie when corncred and TOW as adult philosophers. justify their youth ful conduct htat il was necessary for their good physical and mental development" One example must suf- flee: One eminent professor writes: T was q persistent liar. My iyIng seems lo he now 10 have been all most reflex, ana immediate reaction to tho stern questions of my father
 He constantly heightened me into lying go that l finally came to tell falsehoods when there was no need for such protection. Swift: Mind in the Making)''
 This is an age Of artficiality and uperficiality-a Veneered civilization. We place q high prenlins on outward conformity to social conventions and heartily stgmatize and depreciate non-conforning sincerity. We have even forgotten the origin of the word ---lth wax-and yet We hypocritically end our letters, Yours very sincere ly.' Society ias detriorated into q mutual flattely association and is IL any wonder that exposed as children are 10 the baneful and stuitifying effect of such :" vitiateG atmosphere they never attain the full stature of an erect and lofty sincerity
 Though We may preach to him the episram Of the renounded Chinese that, True words are not pleasant and pleasant words are not true" yet our actions speak louder than our inountings so that the child by imi- tatiOn which socn becomes the force of habit is lead into the practice of false amenities too common in the artificial medium in which he is en- Nironed
 In addition to this Cridh Heep. compliance with prescribed social forms. the child soon learns 10 think IL perfectly proper to participate in Q church. and society 10 which his reason cannot subscribe. How many 1 today participate in religious rites, who in the privacy of their homes proclaim 1t tcm-foolery and heather inummery? What child. growing up in such an environment of outward conformity and inward disappfoVai could do otherwise than take j. ;.s a matter or course and experience no compunctions of conscience: Tor after all, it not conscience thinking and acting made habitual? If We surround our children with slch dissimulation and hypocrisy | they can not fa!l to look upon truth as inimiciable to their success and ; their conduct in nowise reprehens- | ihle?-a delusion that will sap the very heart Of the child's honesty and 1 houey comb the primal purity of his character and rob him oi the mos, l exquisite thing in lil nature: an un- soiled soul.
