the greatest Of these was Charity.

Poppy" was only eight years old
when she and her cousins, children of
William Michael Rosctti, decided to
convert the world to anarchy. They
had printing press in the basement,
and every Sunday they would 90 to
Hyde Park to sell their paper, "rhe
Torch.' People always said "What
funny littlc grill Bless her, what has
she got there" and brought Poppy's
wares just to see.
Trying tc bring about the social
revolution had to be given up when
Poppy was sent to a convent school.
Religion, or rather organized religious
beliefs, had not been part of Poppys
upbringng and her reactions to
Catholicism arc consequently unique.
He'll she conceived to be a great
burning pit full Of flames and red hot
cindcrs, where the devils live. They
arc used to the heat and 60 about
their business just as usual but
Catholics who die in mortal sin and

would have seen something about it in

sent into the convent kitchen to dry
out after fall in puddle. The
scorching fire that blazcd behind the
iron bags of the huge stove decided her.
If hell wcrc like that she would bet
ter be ON the safe side and join the
church at once.
Later on she discovered the safest
time to sin. 1t is, she writes, "on
Friday and on Saturday morning and
afternoon and early on Saturday eve
ming, so that there is not so muc'
chance of dying and going to hell be
tween the SHINING and going to CON
fcssion.' The usual custom, she ound
wac to go to confession Saturday night
and go to bed at once, so that there
wasn't any time to commit sins before
gong to communion.
Religion, however, came very hard t

lists, even after the kitchen stove had
converted her. She would ask questions
instead of just believing, although
there were times when her emotional

WHAT'S YOUR IDEA

a Southwestern Virginia
snob recently declared that
the children of the coal
towns were largely morons,
reared in squalor and grad
uatcd into hopeless ignor-
ance. We didn't believe it,
so we asked Miss Lucille
Ashworth, OF Coeburn, to
tell us her experience in
teaching these children.
Among other things she
says, "The proverbial dunn
my is anywhere, every
where, but not necessarily
more prevalent among
miners children" Her ar

favorite and hangs on like a climb
ing ivy-and when Willie's hand
goes up with Johnny said cuss
word"-you do not doubt the YER
acity of Willie's statement. How
ever, these cases are occasional.
The Moral Nature
This reminds one of the moral ma
turc OF children dealt with in the va
rious camps. Neglect, abuse or ill
health, may early undermine the
character of a child, long before the
child has come to the point OF real
responsibility for his acts" says
child psychologist these circum-
stances, so far as is known, are not
prevalent. Mothers and fathers are
bound to their children with bonds
OF sacriiicial love, and lavish on
them. AS aforesaid, home environ
mcnt and government enter strong
y into the discipline of any
child and the miners child is no ex-
ception. Some eases are clearly due
TO injustces and arbitrariness on the
part of the parents, though the pa
rents, as a rule, see that their chill
dren are in school and unite in the
enforcement OF the compulsory
school law.
Child Ownership
One of the most noticeable types
of behavior is that OF ownership. It
seems instructive for the chill
dren to gather, collect or acquire by
any suitable means articles which
please their fancy. Valuables are
zealously snatched from the waste
basket that teacher discarded. On
the other hand, they have to be
taught the property rights of others.
Some of the children, as would be the
case in any community. have never
had much that they could rightfully
call their own, and are therefore i'll
prepared TO appreciate the rights of
others
The Idea of Right or Wrong
They are curious. On the whole
this tendency is a natural and ire
sistible one, which is closely related
to constructiyencss and hence needs
direction, rather that repression. To
even hint a surprise such rs pencils
to sell; a pennant or new picture
of the President, makes bright eyes
shine.
They initiate, doing what they see
others do, which is quite natural, MS
