OUR SIX EVILS.
BISHOP ON THINGS THAT
L
CHAIN US DOWN.
'After 40 years' ministry have discovered six things which
They are recorded, in "The Forum of Education," and show, In the words of the two principal investigators, that "the conven- tional viows of society, its catchwords and cliches, are. evidently imbibed at a very early age,
This is an example by a boy of 10 years:
Murder, swear, tell lies, take God's name in vain, bear false witness, worship idols, be rude, make falsa notos, embezzle,.
The investigators discovered that drunkenness has a startling affect upon younger children, especially those drawn from slurs.
A 9-year-old girl from a squalid court wrote this answer:--
When we are told to put out the teacups, and we won't.
When little boys are rude to their mothers and other ladies.
People goes and have beer and whisky and are took to the police. station! and are put into a dark coll and are tied up with thick ropes.
When ladies with babies in their arms fghts and the babies cries out loud and the people .do not stop.
Men goes in pubs and they gets drunk and comes home and hits things off the table."
Another girl of the same age recorded that:--
Some men and women go in. the pubs and get drunk, and they say bad words when they come out. Sometimes people go in and sing and go mad and say wicked things. When they comes home they have fights in the night...
The Great War figured very little in the answers. Only 6 por dant. of secondary school children mentioned it, while out of 1,200 elementary school papers it was specifically reforred to but once. It was always mentioned with disapprobation.
The complete record of "wick. ed things" included the follow, ing
Marrying for money. Owning slum property. Bobbing hair. Runaway knocks, Kissing.
Selling quack medicines. Cheeking the police. Digging (with elbows). Wearing reducing corsets. Attracting male attention. Three somewhat precocious; children-two girls and a boy, all aged 16-wrote, "Nothing is wrong unless you think it is."

What is considered to be a re- cord price for a manuscript was mado at Sotheby's recently, when the Milton Ovid Script WAS sold for £7,200..
