1t would be rather venturesome TO

Seemingly the situation Is this: 1t

There are also Chinese regliges

and we stubbornly cling to its dis
comforts, turning our backs upon the

Something Of the same feeling comes
over the child confronted with a new
situation. The clement of fear is
larger than that involved in our re-
fusal to break up pleasant habits,
and the panic. the mental rout of the
child, is much severer. Urging or
