nice of you, Mary. to bring me present"
But to return to the expressions of polite
ness that are recognized as such by everyone.
They have absolutely nothing to do with the
truth; they are merely phrases of convention.
Unless someone is an uninvited and unwel-
come intruder, for example, hostess bids
every guest welcome by saying: 'I'm very
glad to see you" A guest taking leave says:
Thank you for very pleasant evening""
On leaving party, a child is taught to say:
Goodbye, Mrs. Jones, I've had lovely
time The accent of enthusiasm in the voice
of the speaker adds color to these phrases, or
their mechanical utterance leaves them color
less. To go on and say: 1--WE never been to
such beautiful party, or had such wonder
full time" = when neither of these statements
is anywhere near true-is coming into close
proximity with falsehood.
A rather simple way to teach child the
difference, between the real world and the
fairy-tale world, is to make it clear to him
whether the game of the moment is real or
play. When telling him stories yourself, tell
him they are all in the world of make believe.
Saw to him: Lets pretend" to have tea
party, pretend there's food on the plates,
pretend to pour the tea that is nothing but
air. Pretend, as all children do, that the things
around him are anything that your own or his
imagination paints And then quite con-
sciously come back to the land that is real.
Say: 1.-The game has been put aside and now
this is real"
The chief problem is to give him free access
to the world of make believe. but at the same
time teach him to respect the restrictions OF
truth in the world of fact. The make-believe
world includes the stories which child him

was Truth; and lie was Lie, and there was
no clubbing about either of them! And this
is still a rock foundation principle, upon
which the character of every admirable
human being must be built. No wonder, then,
that one of the hardest stumbling blocks
in training child is to make him aware of
the nice distinction between blurting out the
blunt, unvarnished truth under all circum-
stances, and the thoughtful kindness which
approaches truthfulness.
This training requires infinite patience and
ever -watchful guidance on the part OF the
parent or whoever the teacher may be.
1t must be remembered that emphasis on
tactful kindness does not for moment mean
that truth is not strict exaction.
Every now and then I, of course, get letters
from readers who thoroughly disagree with
all the conventions of polite behavior which
do not, in their opinion, adhere strictly to the
letter of truth-telling. In other words there
are certain literal people who thoroughly
disapprove of fairy tales and who do not even
believe in any of the gestures of poiteness
which make life smooth and pleasant. my
self don't believe in untruth. AS a matter OF
fact, there are very few occasions when any
deviation from strict truth is necessary.
Either you can turn the subject to something
else, or you can avoid saying something that
is not so.
But there are times when, to save another
PERSONS feelings, it is best to skirt around the
ledge of truth. Upon being given present,
for example, it is nforgivable to blurt out:
well I think it is the ugliest thing I've ever
seen!" Or perhaps to ask bluntly: What in
the world am l supposed to do with this?"
A child who is giving birthday party should
be coached in advance to say: "Oh. how
Evening star., 1938-04-24

self makes up, and those which he knows are
made up to be told to him. But the world of
fact demands that he learn the difference
between the tactful evasion whose motive is
courtesy = and also the avoidance of boast
ing = and the evasions OF truth whose motive
is the saving of his own face.
When a child goes to someone's house and
is offered a dish he doesn't like he must not
answer: II hate it" He just says, mo thank
YOU" If the hostess asks: why, Johnny,
don't you like rice pudding?" he might at
least shave down the truth by saying: Il don't
care for it very much" When the child, with
whom he goes to play shows him something
that this child loves very much, Johnny
would certainly be very rude little boor if
he were to say: Your engine is no good. I've
got lots and lots of toys all nicer than
yoursw At least he could say that 'You can't
hurt your fingers the way you can on an cleo
trio one!"
No less important and far easier to under
stand, is another aspect of the integrity ex-
pected of the man whom the child will some
day become. This is the trustability of his
word and of his promise. Teaching child to
understand his duty in regard to promise is
very much easier because there is no excuse
whatsoever for the wilful breaking of a
promise. Some unforeseen accident may pre-
vent its fulfllment - but never anything
within his own control
1t is, therefore, necessary that the grown
people who have charge of child. keep their
own word absolutely. To break a promise to

child skaters his belief in the word of the
grown person and undermines his own sense
of honor The rule of integrity says plainly:
If you make promise, you must keep it. If
you are not willing to keep promise. then
you must not make it in the first place. If a
child refuses to make promise - well, then
he is stubborn, insubordinate, willful, naughty
anything you like. But he is still in full posses
sion of his honor.
One last word about the world of let's pre-
tend, which in child's mind is so near to the
bright light of truth: Never, never accuse
child who is playing Lets pretend" that he
is telling lie Remember that lie is and
must be to him, the ugliest thing in the world.
And the ugliest lie in the world is the one
forbidden by the commandment in the Bible:
Thou shalt not bear false Witness"
