Find the Drift
of Child's Mind
Desire to Please Is Not to
Be Classed With Plain
Deceitfulness.

There is a difference between tell
ing a falsehood and saying some
thing to please. Children frequently
get blamed for lying when liz reality
they are simply trying 10 express
what they believe the person with
whom they are talking would wish
them TO say. In adults there is a
form of diplomacy which is akin TO
this. With the child his idea Is sim
ply to be agreeable. With the adult
the intention is to so couch what he
or she says that 1t viii not offend
but please, while ut the same time
the words will carry the point Z g
to binding the other. If there Il
a~cquiescence. This sort of thing Is
so customary In smooth business and
diplomatic relations that the per
sons or groups have to be shrewdIy
cautious In what they SAY. and keen
in their interpretations of what they
hear.
With the older persons the exact
significance of words and terms plays
an important part. A fine vocabulary
is essential. Shades of meanings
must be conveyed and the interpre
tations gagged on them. Carried TO
Its highest point such juggling with
words becomes an art. and almost =
science. The truth need net be dis
torted, but such understanding of IL
must exist that finally the groups
come to a mutual agreement
A child often has an uncanny In
tuition of what the adult wants to
hear, and says Ii, using his limited
Vocabulary. Frequently what fs said
is not strictly true, but the motive
back of the words is not to deceive.
but to please.
For example, a child returns from
