Giving Nature a Chance

By Olive Robert Barton

In an Illustrated travellogue the other day-a naked child of India was walking in circles pushing the lover of a crude hand-mill..

He was dirty, belonging to that class of "untouchables" outside ail class or privilege in their country. We were informed that ho worked all day for the sum of two cents and knew little of any other life. Long, matted hair hung over his forehead and neck. His lithe body-I judged him to be about,

and ten-was straight, strong brown. But it was his eyes that held one's attention. They wore not dull, unhappy eyes as one felt they should be, quite the contrary -big, keen and evidently enjoy- ing the man with the queer-look- ing camera, who found him so im- portant.

I've thought a lot about that boy, slave to a system we would not tolerato here for a second.

Unaware of Hardship

Why was he so unconcerned with his life? Why an seemingly content and healthy? There was no questioning. the look in his eyes, I think. Yet, there he was, doing work we wouldn't put a dog to. Around and around he went throwing his weight against the bar that I will any seemed to move! casily enough.

I think this is It. He didn't' know any better. His life

There Axed and he accepted it. was something he had to do and ho did it, without questioning or resentment,

All over the world we observe children doing fairly well under circumstances that we think would ordinarily kill them.. How about American, Indian babies strapped on boards so they can't move? We are told never to bind a baby- that restriction does terrible things to temper and nerves.

If ever there was a placid creature on earth It is the papoose.

Eskimo children are notorious- ly happy and the most honest and truthful in the world we are told as well. Yet their lives are the antithesis of all we hold necessary to happiness and health. True, Eskimo life is brief as a rule, but their mental content is legion.

Whatever the life expectancy of children of Oriental origin may be, wo find a placidity almost un- known among us here.

And yet we find it here somé- two Aimes, too. Recently I saw

little children in a foreign settle- ment who were unbelievably dirty and ragged. Their clothes had never seen water. But they were as happy as birds in a tree, Heaven knows how they lived, and what will become of them, but that they were entirely content with what they had waa quite evident.

Our "Old" City Children

Now then what? Aren't our own carefully raised children as happy as these? Haven't they the same clear content expression in their eyes?

No. Their eyes are too old, ca- pecially the eyes of city children. They are not entirely spontaneous any more. think we begin, as of course I guess we have to, to mould them to our ideas of a suc- cessful social life, when they are too little and easily confused. And with a hundred things to re-, member and mind, they are old before they are young. Life is not simple for them.

Is our child's nerve growth able to stand all the things we put to him? Some day there may be a complete reversal of our present methods. If the race is to last, nerves must last first of all. Per- haps wo are trying too hard to save the child who asks nothing hotter than to save himself.

Plenty of Experience!.
