''We live in small but beautiful
house with lovely garden; I went
to school near Philadelphia for
seven years, however, so I have no
friends in our immediate neighbor-
hood. My father is a scientist and
is writing book; my mother seems
entirely satisfied with her flowers.
her books, and the company of
few old and intimate friends.
we Are Isolated
"My fathers book is about OBJ
scure infections and he is certainly
more conscious of them and more
afraid of them than most people are.
We take few precautions that are
unusual, I suppose, never wearing
street shoes in the house and SUM-
ming the newspaper before we open
it, but they are not serious enough
to make people think we are queer.
But yet we are isolated.
Sin all my life I never had a
party, or friend to visit me even
for one night" the letter goes on.
"Other girls visited each others
families in vacations; this never
happened to me. In the summers

his wife into the mountains.
Everyone is always Kind to me;
I have an allowance, I know my
father is fond Of me, and Mother
would do anything to please me
except that, as she always says, 'Fa-

of thing have heard all my life.
"When was about seven we went
to China to study germs. There were
small children on the boat, and the
first time I played with them I was
Historically excited, and had an
embarrassing accident and they
laughed at me. My mother took me
away, to give me whipping for this
misfortune, and my sense of shame
was so great that for the rest of
the trip I would not play with the
others, but played up on the boat
deck by myself. At school I had
dear and warm friends, but we are
all scattered now, and I don't ever
see them.

"About four months ago / went
with Mother to a lecture and after

speaker, who is a friend. He intro

asked to call on me. My mother
told him that we have "a very busy

But the officer persisted, and wrote
to me asking me if my mother and

livery little while you meet
some mother, or perhaps
- some mother and father,
who completely sacrifice their
children to their own whims and
comfort, and are rather proud
of doing so!
They don't understand or even
like children, and they make no
effort to do so. They leave the
children in hotel rooms, or drag
them about in hot cars, neglect
them, laugh at them, spoil them,
criticize and ignore them at will.
Everyone knows these badly
fed, badly managed children,
who are by turns shy and bold, and
in odd ways both stupid and shrewd.
Children who have been left to
nurses whose companionship would
in five minutes disgust their par
ents. Children who are lonely, be-
wildered and uneasy in childhood,
and destined to be lonely, bewil-
dered and uneasy all through their
lives.
Rich Child Suffers Most.
These are by no means the chill
dren of the very poor. 1t would seem
rather that they are the children of
the most privileged classes. In pow
erty, in the crowded slums Of New
York's East Side or the packed
tenements of the Bronx, there is
always companionship, rivalry, ex-
element; there are always dishes
to wash and errands to run and
babies to tend. No, it's in the COM
Portable isolated mansions of the
well-to-do that childhood suffers
most.
One Social-Registered, extremely
wealthy girl in whose case was
interested, hardly saw her own
family for the first years of her life.
When at seventeen, she was finally
permitted to enter the drawing room
she was fat, giggling, embarrassed
and embarrassing creature who
spoke infantile French and German
and italian and so was supposed to
be educated, but who told the eli
gible young man to whom she was
introduced that her favorite game
was "jackstones," and her favorite
reading the "Oz" books, and who
grabbed so eagerly at a box of can
dy and stuffed so much of it into her
mouth that it was decided that
Kathryn's introduction to society
must be still further delayed.
Then there was the case of the
unfortunate wife Of George the
Fourth, a princess raised in Ger
man castle, but so noisy and dirty
in her habits that the dignified old
ambassador who went to bring her
to England as the regents bride
broke it to her as gently as possible
that her chances of holding the af-
fections of George would be inn
proved if she would make a habit
of daily baths.
Neglected Human Contacts.
1t is strange thing that mothers
who will spend time and money,
who will worry for years over the
book education of their children,
often deny them the social help, the
simple training in human contacts,
in nice manners, in the making and
holding of friendships, that is so
much more valuable. It is a sad
commentary upon our handling of
our children that book called "How
to Make Friends and influence Peo-
pie" has deservedly been a best
seller for years.
Here is a letter from girl whose
parents are apparently both highly
cultured, well-meaning persons. But
how they have failed Bettinal
my mother is an angel, and my
father is a very wonderful man,"
writes Bettina, from her home in
the suburbs of great eastern city.

YOUNG LIVES

They are precious, those young
ives entrusted to your care. They
represent one of Americas most
valuable assets; for without tUell-
trained, healthy, happy children,
We can hardly hope for the kind
Of disciplined and courageous
adults zoe need to keep our ma
ton strong. The years of child
hood pass quickly, and before
you kno,o it your little son or
daughter will haze gro,Un up. If
he, or she, has had loue and
guidance and companionship, he
will be able to face the problems
of life unatraid. The rest is up
to him.

Let us think of God as filling our
minds, our heart, our body and our
environment so full of Himself that
there Is no place for any thot or
presence of what men call evil. In
the ideal world there is nothing but
God, the good. Our duty is to know
this truth so thoroughly that what
Is true in the ideal becomes true in
the manifest. As we see good coming
into manifestation we see more of
the presence of God. Our duty is to
magnify God by beholding more and
more of his presence. Begin today
to see how much of good you cam
discover in your world. AS you look
for good you viii find that there is
great deal of it. You will see good
In yourself; good in those about
you, good on every hand. Evil will
cease to exist when your world is
filled with God, the good.
