SECRETS OF
HEALTH
BY DR.. Louis E. Bisch-


IT is Of paramount importance
l. that we keep our children
happy. II IL a duty that parents
and teachers must not neglect.
Children are entitled to their
childhood and childhood should
be q time that can be looked back
upon later in life as ideal.
Indeed, children are happy by
nature, and If we find them un-
happy and miserable, we have
only ourselves, as their elders and
guardians, TO blame.
1t is the imagination of child
that keeps him happy.
The child conjures UP all sorts
Of fancies, ali of which give pleas
ure.
The child's Imagination trans
lates itself into play, and, there
fore, play becomes the most i'm
portant factor in a child's life.
Once I heard a very startling
statement to the effect that, since
life is not play, but n hard, stern
and cold business, we should re-
strict the play Of children-at
least modify it-so that we may,
as early as possible, prepare the
little ones for the battle of life.
Perhaps there Is a certain sur.
face plausibility in this theory.
We surely do not want to -coddle
and protect our children TO the
extent OF making them softies.
who will be unable to stand on
their own feet when they grow
up.
There are children who are
brought up that way and such
examples may have prompted the
statement advocating sterner
methods Of childhood training.
Nevertheless. what Is obviously
overlooked in such a Spartan pro-
gram is q very fundamental ana
telling principle that has to do
with certain other known facts
about developing minds.
What / mean is that the
thoughts, ideas, feelings and ex.
periences which are implanted in
the earliest years have pre-
dominating influence throughout
life.
Secondly, IL we make these in.
tluences happX, hopeful, bright
and CHEEKY, the adult will be able
to cope better with trials. tribula.
tions and adversity than If his
mind Is filled with sternness, inli-
bitions, repressions and soberness.
We must not let our children run
absolutely wild. We must coerce
them sufficiently to make them
socialized and acceptable indi.
viduals.
But to start a stern training too
early is a falacy.
When all is said and done,
growing up Is not such an easy
job.
We see children playing and
romping about, and we are apt to
jump to the conclusion that moth.
ing could possibly bother them.
Yet think OF the adjustments
you had to make when you were
a tiny tot and when, also, you
grew older.
Therefore help the little ones
to help themselves.
Build happy memories into their
minds so that they may have q
storehouse of gladness to draw
upon when the sterner trials and
tribulations OF life presents them.

Emotional MOrons
By Elsie Robinson

MERE fairly familiar with the
w word moron now. It's no
longer considered a high-brow
phrase. We have learned that
there are people who think like
children, whose minds have never
developed beyond childhood. We
can generally recognize such
people and guard against them.
But there's another type that is
harder to spot and infinitely more
dangerous than the mental moron,
and that's the EMOTIONAL
MORON.
The mental moron THINKS like
a child.
But the emotional moron
FEELS like a child.
He feels without registering
normal. mature reactions.
Or, perhaps, it's better to say
that he doesn't feel, just stops
feeling where most of US begin.
These emotional morons are So
ciety's most vicious menace. The
chap who doesn't normally register
pity or fear or remorse or graft
tude is just so much perambulat.
ing dynamite. He's dynamite be-
cause you never can tell what
he'll decide to do next. None Of
our normal restraints apply to the
emotional moron. He may be as
gentle as a lamb for years, then
suddenly turn hyena. And he's all
the more dangerous because his
emotional deficiency may be
coupled with abnormal intelligence.
Some of the worst crimes in his
tory have been committed by
emotional morons who were ex.
ceptional thinkers, but were un-
able to FEEL as normal people
should feel.
