Giving Nature a Chance

By Olivo Robert Barton

In an illustrated travelloguo the other day-a naked child of India. was walking in circles pushing the lever of a crude hand-mill.

He was dirty, belonging to that class of "untouchables" outside all class or privilege in their country, We were informed that he worked all day for the sum of-two cents and knew Httle of any other life. Long, matted hair hung over his forehead and neck. His litho body-I judged him to be about ton-was straight, strong and brown. But it was his eyes that held one's attention. They were not dull, unhappy eyes as one felt they should be, quife the contrary

big, keen and evidently enjoy- ing the man with the queer-look- ing camora, who found him so im- portant.

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

Unaware of Hardship

Why was he so unconcerned with his life? Why so 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 say seemed to more! easily enough.

I think this ia It. He didn't know any better. Jis life

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

All over the world we observo 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? Wa ure told never to bind a baby......... that restriction does terriblo things to temper and nerves. But

if ever thero was a placid crenture 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 Ilves 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, we find a placidity almost, un- known among us here.

And yet we And it here some- timea, too. Recently I saw twó little children in a foreign settle. ment who were unbelievably dirty and ragged. Thoir clothes had never seen water. But they were {n's happy as birds in ̄ ̄ ̄ ̄ ̄treo, Heaven knows how they lived, and what will become of them, but that they were entirely content with what they had was quite evident.

Our "Old" City Children Now then what? Aren't our own carefully raised children as happy as these? Haven't they the: anme clear content expression in their eyes?

No. Their eyes are too old, es- pecially the eyes of elty children, They are not entirely spontaneous any more. I think we begin, as of course I guess we have to, to mould them to our Ideas of a Buc- cessful social life, when they ure 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 simplo 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 inst, nerves must last first of all. Per- haps wo are trying too hard to save the child who asks nothing! betler than to save himself.
