DISLIKE SONS TO GROW UP
Few Mothers Welcome the Time When
Their Boys Go Out into the
Hard World.

Almost every mother keeps her boy
in knee pants" just as long as size
can; she hates to see him becoming a
man, for she feels that he is getting
away from her.
A mother sees only with reluctance
the boy pass from the love and care
and peace with which she has sur
rounded him. out into the world of
pitiIess endeavor in which he must
play his part.
The mothers selfish fondness dis
closes itself in the ludicrous child's
garment and the wornout, home-bred
horse with which she sends forth the
would-be knight. These are to the
modern analytical mind painfully SYM
bolic of the unconscious interference
on the part of parents with the proper
adult equipment of their children for
an independent life. Their apparent
fOndness conceals the unconscious wish
that the child will find himself I'M
