The parents say they are trying to
protect their children from getting hurt.
and TO keep them from making mis-
takes, but il Is better 10 bump your
nose and learn from the way II hurts
how 10 walk carefully when you are
young than it is to come a Cropper
when YOU are old. 1t is only by making
mistakes and suffering the conse-
quences Of them that We learn. and the
parents who DENY their children this
education nave done them a deadlier
wrong through tenderness than. malice
itself could invent.
II Is a common thing TO see a rich
man who keeps his sons in leading
strings until they are middle-aged men.
He gives them a generous allowance to
spend, but he never gives them a start
in business, and tells them to go to II,
and sink or swim according to their
own strength and energy. Or he takes
them In business with him, but he
never throws any responsibility on
them, or gives them a chance to use
their own judgment.
Then father dies, and the elderly sons
are stItl little boys In mind and cour-
age. They are timid, They have no
initiative. They are afraid to trust
their own judgment because their
father has made them weddings.
That Is why rich mems sons so sci
dom carry on the prestige Of their
fathers name. and so often sven lose
the money they inherit, and why most
Of the successful men are men who
have had to fight every inch Of the way
for themselves. II Is the case over
again Of the little rich boy who didn't
know how to look out for himself, and
the street gamin who has had 10 take
care Of himself from the minute he
was born.
And Just az you can take care Of a
boy until YOU destroy his ability to
take care Of himself, SO you can pro-
tect a girl too much, OF course, we all
have the feeling that we would like TO
keep our daughters in glass houses safe
from the contamination Of the knowl-
edge Of everything dark and evil.
II Is a pretty theory, but impractical
in a world that Is fun Of pitfalls for
unwary feet. Little as we like TO ad-
nit It, ignorance does not make for In
nocence, and the forewarned are the
forearmed.
There are mothers who never let
daughters move an inch without a
chaperone, and who never permit their
girls to read a novel, or daily paper
that has not been censored, or see a
play that deals with anything but In
ocuous saCCharine sentiment Can any
sane person think these girls are as safe
as the wise little shop girl who knows
how to defend herself against the evil
OF a world In which she knows what
IL vile, and chooses the good?
In the end we must all stand upon
our own feet, Happy those who are
taught how to do 10 in their childhood,
and who do not have to lean on some
one else for support, For ne such thing

A o little millionaire who, from
the hour Of his birth, had been guarded
by a regiment Of nurses. and tutors,
and detectives. slipped away from his
iailers the other day, and for the first
time In his life found himself free and
alone on a high road But he had

how to take care Of himself, and SO
when he saw an automobile coming his

In its pathway and was killed by 1t,
although there was plenty Of oppor-
tunity for him to have escaped II he

Every day on the crowded streets Of
any big city O may see dozens Of lit
tie boys selling papers, who dart In and
out between automobiles and street
cars, and heavy trucks, defying death
every minute, vet coming out unscathed
because all their lives they have had to
shift for themselves. they have had to
think for themselves, and use their own
wits, and II has taught them how 10
take care of themselves.
In these two cases 0 rave a picture
Of the opposite poles OF life which It is
well for all parents to consider, and IT

whether they are raising up their chill

hanging on to someone stronger and

Most parents seem TO have an idea
that they can play Providence to their
children, and protect them from the
dangers and hardships Of life. Never
was there a greater mistake. Every
human being Of us has got TO 60
through the same experiences. and face
the same dangers and temptations, and
the only thing that u parents can do
for us is to teach us how to meet them.
They cannot save us from them.
Yet In spite Of this YOU see fathers
and mothers who do their utmost to
raise their children in a handbook. with
no more knowledge Of the world they
have got to live In than "A canary bird
has Of a jungle. They never let their
children walk out unless somebody il

let them 20 anywhere alone. They
never even let them play without some
body directing their games. They never
let them buy anything on their own
judgment. They never give them any
allowance to spend as they please.
The Inevitable result follows, The
child who has never walked alone STUN
hles and falls II unsupported, The child
who never goes anywhere alone loses lts
way. The child whom somebody else
amuses never develops originality and
initiative. The child who never handles
any money never learns how to get the
