I certainly heard nuore German spoken than Serbian dur- ing the whole time I was there. This was not, as might be assured, because German is the lingua fran- Ca of Yugo-Slavia, but because a foreigner is more likely to be a German than a member of any other antion.

But what does albis.mean? Do the Yugo-Slay people like being mude the prey of the Germans? Nu, they hate it.

The memories of their bondage under the Austro-Hungarian rule are far too vivid to let them forget foreign domination. But because the Germans have managed so successfully to control the greater part of the commerelal life of the country the Yugo-Slavs have been torced to tolerate every sort of in- terference.

Child Psychology Proper Perspective

LITTLE LIARS

A CHILD may be occaalon- ally untruthful, but we need not brand him as a liar. Up to the age of seven or eight children make frequent excur- sions Into the realms of phan- tasy, and there they live a life of make-believe.

So it is not very easy to come down to the brass tacks of so-called modern, civilisa- tion after that.

We may be certain that if a boy or girl adopts what might be termed the "profession" of estab- lished liar, there has been some- thing far

with his early wrong training.

whisper goes round the If the nurseries of the parish that Tommy Tipple is a boy who "tells lies," it is his father or mather who should blush for shame,

In practically all cases, the child begins his life believing In truth and hating falsity. Circumstances may arise in which he finds out that others are not so particular as he is.

"Oha," he says to himself. "E

A boy will tell lies because his experience Is that when he stuck to the truth and con- fessed his sing he was punished severely.

Punishment can never be standardised. A plagle smack may be an awful Infliction to eine boy,

while a good hiding may mean nothing to the next.

Remember well that the boy starts life with complete confidence in the parents, und if he Bnds that he is victimised Arst by de- ception, and secondly by unjust treatment, he will have no sccupies about twisting the truth.

After all, Instincts are instincts, and permouality is personality, and, mothers and fathers would be in-. human if they stuck to a routine of soulless science. It is the exhibi- tion of the touches of Nature that makes the family kin in the old- established sense.
