Talks
f. Parents
roc MUCH
(By Alice hudson Peale)

The Kindergarten children sat in a
circle listening to a highly dramatic
rendering of Little Black Sambo."
They sat s%pellbound and motionless
with wide eyes fixed on the teachers
face. The tigers were growing to-
gether. all four of them. Black Sam
bo's end seemed only a matter of mo-
ments. Suddenly a little boy cried
out: "StOp-stop-stop! I don't want
to hear any more. Please stop!"
Tears were streaming down his
face. The story had been too much
for him. Doubtless it was too much
for the other children. too. But the
limit Of their endurance had not been
reached.
The story of little Black Sambo is
charming, but the manner of its tell
ing makes all the difference in the
world. It is possible with almost any
story SO to emphasize its emotional
elements as to make it unfit for the
Childish listener. Especially does it
hurt him to stress such emotions as
fear or anger or excessive pity.
Children are far more emotional
than adults. It is SO easy to see the
effect Of our words that we are
tempted by u love of power to over
stimulate them. Some children are
more sensitive than others. The re-
suits of such 'overstimulation may be
anything from temporary irritability
and fatigue to permanent emotional
attitudes of a highly unserviceable
nature.
It is not only in story telling that
we overstirnulate the emotions. Of
ten we talk of accidents, suffering, be-
reavemcnt before children who are
not yet ready to hear such things.
But the greatest of our sins is to
express too emotionally the love we
feel. and to expect of them a like ex-
aggerated exhibition Of feeling. The
child who is besieged with hugs and
kisses and extravagant expressions of
love can scarcely have natural feel
ings Of his own.

Editorial Comment
HEREDITY AND ENVIRONMENT
Century Magazine)

O6107
the relative importance of heredity and home influence
mas recently been tested by Miss Burks In California. She
compared the resemblances In intelligence Of 200 chill
dren with their foster parents, and Of 100 children in
the same schools with their true parents.
The foster children had been adopted at an average
age OF three months. so that home environment had had
q fair chance. There was no definite relation between
the intelligence rating of a child and its foster father.
Inc influence OF the foster mothers, though marked, was
lar less than that of the true fathers or mothers.
Inere Is a vast amount Of further evidence to the
same effect for example, as to the great intellectual d-
versity OF children in the same orphanage.
There is much less evidence with regard to moral char
acter. No doubt some of the basal traits which deter
mine II. such as quickness of response, are inherited; but
IL PROBABLY depends to a considerable extent on environ
ment. whether the quick tempered child will develop into
a Iuly or a kindly but impulsive person. the calmet per-
a; !Mo q neai1less or a benevolent one.
knows that you can influence character far more easily
than intelligence. That is why we apply physical or
moral suasion to bad boys, but not to stupid ones unless
we think they are lazy. But common sense is borne out
by what little scientific evidence exists.

BIRTHDAY

Henry David Thoreau, noted Amer
lean naturalist and writer, was born
on July IL, 1917, at Concord, Mass,
the son OF Scottish parents, neither
wealthy 0 influential.
AS a boy. Thoreau became inter-
ested in certain aspects of nature and
spent most of his free moments wan
dering alone in the woods.
He attended Harvard University,
but in no way distinguished himself.
After graduation, he taught school.
But the study of nature in preference
to mar appealed more to him and he
soon deserted schoolmastering as q
profession and became a lecturer and
author.
Thoreau. in 1845, made the now
famous experiment of Walden. He
retired to a homemade hut and for
two years lived the life of a recluse.
He read considerably. wrote album
dainty, and came to know the birds
and fishes and beasts with an almost
intimate knowledge. And from his ex-
periences came Walden" a book up
on which his fame rests.
Thoreau died at the age of As, in
May. 1862. He holds a unique place
in that he was a naturalist devoid
of the pedantry Of science. He was a
keen observer, but no retailer of dis
jointed facts and his writings have
all variable charm Of Nature herself.

A QUEER WAY OF LIVING

He vas rather an oldish chap. and he looked pretty
weather beaten, says an exchange. The stubby gray
beard was unkempt, the khaki breeches and shirt badly
travel-stained, the leathery skin on his face zas crisis
crossed with wrinkles.
His outfit was almost grotesque. He pushed a dilap-
idated baby buggy. It was a tansle OF bag~gage-bundles
tied with string. containing. no doubt. extra clothing
and such-like. But the leading feature was an enormous
book that was strapped on top.
1t was a giant among books. A foot thick and twice
as long bigger than the biggest unabridged dictionary.
by fart was, obviously, the king piece Of the whole bag
gage train. The man laboriously lifted it 70 a table and
proudly opened it. The pages were covered with sig
natures-signatures of mayors. of governors, of editors, of
authors, of cabinet members. Of ambassadors, Of every
kind Of dignitary and near dignitary known to a complex
civilization.
I've got signatures from all over the world" he said
proudly. i've walked all over-Europe. America. Asia.
India. everywhere. And everywhere I went l got sig
natures in this book. Now if you'll just sign your name
Ill be moving on"
The signature duly affixed, the old chap shut the book,
placed ii in the buggy. and started off down the street
a hunched. bent-over figure, odd in its %outlandish garb,
moving steadily down the busy street to some distant trail
leading to no one could imagine where.
That was his life. He had been doing it for years. and
would continue to do it until he died. And it struck an
observer that this mans way Of spending his time was
about the oldest he had ever encountered.
Yet in the long run, it may be that this mans life is
no more queer than the lives Of most of us.
We haven't, any Of us. a very long time on this planet.
There are only a few years in which We can make the
most of our talents. exercise our faculties for enjoyment
and experience, make life mean something worth having.
Yet We do not seem to realize it. We slip carelessly into
jobs We do not particularly care about, persuade our
selves that they are important, spend all Of our energies
doing things that don't really matter to us-and, pres
emily, find that the whole performance is about over,
with most of the things we really wanted to do left UNI
done.
So maybe the old chap with the baby buggy and the
book of autographs, isn't so cracked as we think. At any
rate. he is doing the one thing he wants to do. however
ainless or pointless that may seem. And that is a great
deal more than most men can say.

DO NOT FORGET THEM
washington STAR

~ dSulllSCOQ SCdTD
During the hot days householders should never forget
that thirst afflicts their pet animals as we'll as them
selves.
Whereas a man may quench his thirst by so simple an
expedient as turning a faucet, his dog or cat has no such
metaod open to it.
rfdo or Tom must depend upon the human friends to
see 70 IT. that ne has z good drink. Both dogs and cats
nstufauy erlnk more IN warm weather than In cold, ana
both find it more difficult to secure water.
IN past years great stress was placed upon watering the
nokse during summer. This need still exists for work
horses. but in the main the attention should be places To-
able for pets.
In many homes the pets, while ostensibly belonging to
the cnuofen, depend upon the older folks for their care.
Fatner u q work. mother is busy around the home, but
some one-and usually It is Mother-must see to # that
the dog or cat has water.
This y easily done by filling a pan early in the morn
lne. ANIMALS prefer their drinking water at air tempera-
cure, SO that slightly stale water is their favorite.
MOI should the birds be forgotten. What is more pleas

matters VIII repay itself q thousandfold. and the furry
and eathered children Of nature will be happier and

MOVING FAST ON BICYCLES

Grover Whalen, New York's highly advertised police
commissioner, not long ago got a good deal Of fun out OF
the fact that the London police still use bicycles in max
ing their daily rounds. He seemed to feel that this com
pared rather poorly with the snappy. fast moving motor
cycles of the American cop.
However, the London officers seem to travel faster on
bicycles than our American police can go on their motor
cycles. At any rate
During 1928 there were just Is murders in London. The
police solved every one. Eleven OF the murderers were
arrested, tried, convicted and sentenced, and the other
seven committed suicide.
Compare those figures-not with New York's, for the
contrast would be too staggering: with some lesser city,
like Kansas City, for instance. Kansas City, in 1928, had
los murders. Twenty-three murderers were tried, con-
victed and sentenced; five were acquitted; and the rest
seem to have escaped molestation altogether.
Any American police official who laughs at the London
force is showing extremely poor judgment.
