 Their new sophisticaton comes partly from the fact that they are per. mitted to listen in on family and bus. ness matters, either by design or because the parents are less strict themselves than those of the older generation, when they are not downright careless and themselves spoiled by material prosperity, the desire to get some fun out of life, if not the Iooser- living in. fluences of the hip-hask, dishonesty in business, the lack of religious restraint and many criminal conditions.

 Normal People" etc.)
 TN view of the sensibility and abun-
 dant intelligence of the child mind, . the real question today is not why the modern child is so sophisticated as compared with those of the past gen eration, but why he is not more sophis- ticated.
 Probably the most important dis covery in child education of modern times is that the child intelligence does not have to be talked down to-" In other words, by treating child like a normal human being, with normal un derstanding, lies the road to progress in securing for civilization a better class of future grown-ups, more eff ficient in work, less criminal, and with greater all-round social capacity.
 At the present time every father every mother, every family of this country has become aware that it has a new set of children to deal with These children have a new liberty They are more sophisticated. Many wonder what the new children will mean in the making of the nation. Will 1t be for better or worse?
 Certainly this new liberty of speech and action of the children contains many splendid clements and in some respects lead us to hope for the dreamed-of race of super-men and women.
 One fly in the ointment, however, comes from the new sex knowledge of girls. The revolution that has taken place in that field is apparent. The new boy and the new girl are more in- telligent because better informed and with better training than the children of the past generation. But what will they do with this intelligence?
 The present generation of grown-ups is quite aware of the way in which the new realism has touched the child mind.
 "Keep still! You are too y"ung to talk" That was the scolding attitude of the parents of the grown-ups now living When family matters, whether of business or home relations, were being discussed, the children of the older generation were told to go to bed, or to go out and play, or were somehow shut off from the conversa- ton.
 In other words, the children of the older generation were treated little short of so many young animals. For one thing, families were larger, there were so many children and neither the father nor the mother, engrossed in the toll of making both ends meet, had time to care for their minds. If the children were fed and clothed, that was about the limit of the strength of the parents.
 But today the picture has changed There are fewer children to a family; the material prosperity of the Ameri. can family is higher; there are better times for the children and for every. body, in a social sense, and, for a Va. riety of reasons, there is abundant lib- erty for the chiIdren-so much so that American children are regarded as the most spoiled on earth. The rod is

But one thing experi- ence seems to have proved in recent years is that until that age sex" has not been properly taught, and that fact alone is responsible for greater youth full vice. Children have been left too much to guess at sex meanings and to learn for thems

the folies of love.
 As long as the earth turns the old copyoook rules of honesty and virtue made by hard work and struggle in character building will be found valid. The danger Of the future generation is race of dishonest men and of women without virture. The seeds are being sown abundantly now. The re- sponsibility lies in part at the door of the fathers and mothers who have not furnished good example.

normal impulse to reach at what it wants by shortcuts and society forbids those shortcuts.
 About 65 per cent of the inmates of our prisons are boys and girls under 2l years of age. That fact either indicates that we still do not know how to bring up our children, that We do not take the trouble, or that there's something wrong with our justice or with the new
 liberty of the children.
 Grown people have been'charged by the World War in extraord- mary ways, not only Tn regard to the honesty of men and the moral ity of women, not only in their mental outlook, but in their whole philosophy of living. It does not require much reflection to realize that the children who were babies during that war, or who have been born since, should be changed by the same cataclysmic influences.
 We know that the human race, ID long distance aspect. changes little. either physically or men, tally, from one thousand years to another, yet this human race has never before been under such stress or press of physical and in tellectual change. The Machine Age has brought into our every day 'life tangible phenomena that even thirty years ago were wonders without parallel, the property of the gods and powers of darkness. So the eternal "Why?" of the child mind has taken on alarming pro- portions. "What would happen if the earth stopped turning?" This is a question today that is put by child mind of four years of age.
