AUTHOR OF 1.-THE O0cT0R mas A sAsy"

DEAR MRS. BARKuSS: What do you
and your children find most annoying
in the attitude Of adult visitors?
ANSWER: Too many adults behave towards
children as if they were encountering spe-
cial breed of high-grade moron. They attack
most youngsters they meet with series of
questions that are about as stimulating as
the statistics in the World Almanac" and
far more offensive.
Hello, little girl. how old are you?
What's your name? What does your daddy
do? My, how you've grown! hardly knew
you! May have one of your pretty curls!'
These are all typical of the usual grown-up
approach to the younger generation. The
barrage is generally topped off with hilari-
Gus. What's the matter? Cat got your
tongue? Ha. Ha, Ha!''
Children are normal human beings. AS
such, they should be entitled to all of the
privileges, immunities and social nicetles
of our civilization. They should not be sub
jected to an inquisition which, directed at an
adult, would be definitely branded as stupid
and rude.
Devotees of the cliche not only are obvi-
ously disparaging the intelligence of their
young acquaintances, but often add insult

to injury by focusing embarrassing atten-
ton upon the innocent victim. Junior
squirms miserably under the cruel, merciless
spotlight until he finally either cannot or
will not speak up any more.
While such ill-mannered behavior is de-
plorable, it is no more so than that of the
group of grownups who stalk the other side
of the fence. To these unenlightened peo-
ple, children are like inanimate objects to be
neither seen nor heard. They never address
a single civil remark to them at all, and are
as oblivious to any childish comment as the
statuary in the Louvre would be to some
buzzing flies.
MUCH needless resentment would be avoid
ed if adults only accepted the fact that
children have fair degree of intelligence.
sensitivity and understanding. They are
interested in many subjects besides their
weight and height; and usually appreciate
being spoken to in ordinary English mot
baby TALK, and at normal voice level,
about many things such as sports. moves
schoolwork, books and even current events.
For better or worse, we are the guardians
of the younger generation. In the final
analysis. it is the practical daily example
we set that will far outweigh any preaching,
