Ignorance Is Not Bliss
By Elsie Robinson

NO ONE FEARS AS MUCK
AS THE MAN WHO DOESN'T
KNOW WHAT HE FEARS. The
intelligent man recognizes GER
tain dangers but every
thing and anything seems dan
gerous to the ignorant man.
Any fantastic suggestion may
find root in his credulous brain
he is the slave of super
stition.
NO ONE IS MORE CRUEL
THAN THE IMPORTANT MAN
for he has no knoWl-
edge of himself, no standards
by which to judge, no healthy
doubt of his own fairness
and in his benighted conceit he
violates every law of decency.
Our worst crimes are not COM
mitted by thieves, thugs, muir
dererS or fiendS.
They are committed by THE
IGNORANT, who. in their stub
born stupidity and monstrous
egotism, run amuck, regardless
of all civilized rules and prece-
dents. And when. to their igno-
rance, they add the quaint con-
ceit that they are the Lords
anointed LOOK OUT!
THERE'S NO MORE DANGER
GUS OUTLAW ON EARTH
THAN THE FOOL WHO
THINKS HE HAS GODS
BACKING.
And what does ignorance buy
the ignorant? Nothing but grief.
Society no longer dismissed igno-
rance with good-natured con-
tempt or indifference. We have
come to realize the viciouSneSs
of ignorance and penalize it &C
cordingly.a Ignorance is no
longer necessary or excusable.
THE AMERICAN WHO RE
MAINS IGNORANT IN 1880 is

SECRETS OF
HEALTH
IN. II.
by DR.. Louis e. Bisch-

People do not fit into the
world into which they are born
they must be made to fit.
The child is like an uncouth,
unframed little animal.
It's parents. especially its
mother. at first take care Of it
and protect it, then later edu-
cate it. 3,i
Education means a leading
up; a process by which we are
refined, repressed and adjusted.
When old enough to think
and act we find the world not
as we would like to, but as a
huge organized scheme Of liv-
ing into which we must fit
somehow or cease to survive.
The more educated and re-
fined we are. the more repreSsed
and adjusted we are.
We have then learned to hold
our instructive cravings in
check.
Take the nutrition instinct by
way of example.
We learn that, when hungry,
we cannot take whatever food
is in sight, but we must pay for
it. In order to pay for it we
must have money. And in order
to have money we must work.
All this is really very compli-
Gated, but it does not appear SO
because gradually, very gradu-
ally, we have become trained
and educated to accept the ad-
justment as a matter Of course.
Often, too, we cannot satisfy
our cravings except by SubSti-
tuition.
A woman may not be able,
for one reason or another, to
marry. Perhaps she has to
take care of an aged father or
mother.
Later, when her obligation is
completed, when the parents
have died, she is free to marry,
but suitors are lacking.
How can such a woman ad-
just herself?
How can she substitute the
instructive motherhood urge or
craving that nature has en-
dowed her with and that still
cries out for fulfillment?
Such a woman can adjust by
teaching children or becoming
a nurse, or by doing settlement
work or something that will
satisfy the yearaing to be Of
value in a mother capacity.
And so we continually make
adjustments of enc kind or an
other throughout life.
No one must expect to have
everything run smoothly.
Each and every one Of US
has obstacles 10 overcome.
Realize that you must adjust
almost every day and then the
job won't be 10 irksonle.
That is the way life is and
ne must naakt the bast 81
