GEORGE, British Novelist ft The American child is to me a greater puzzje than the American adult I cannot see how the emo tional American, dominated by moral impulses, de velops out of the shrewd and hard American child. It is almost inhuman. It hates to be fondled; it seldom kisses an adult; it wholly differs from the emotional, enthusiastic English child, which hurls itself upon the people itlikos and inflicts upon them sticky embraces. It does not giv^ itself; it knows what it wants and takes it with strange brutality. If this applied only to female children, I could understand it, for some * -s * ? t thing of this survives in the American girl, before marriage ana mi si or tunes have turned her into a human being; but the male American child shows only the hardness of the American man, not the gentleness and tenderness which make him so attractive. This may come from the close o utset between the American child ? and its parent; it lives with them, is of them; it is treated seriously; therefore, it does not loot upon the adult as a god. Notably, in the well to-do classes, there is no-children's hour, say 5:30, when the anxious pris oners of the nursery are allowed, trembling with excitement and awe, to enter the holy presence of the grown-ups. It is no fun being an American child ; one grows up without idols, and one must make some for one's self, ?- - since mankind at all ages. Eves only by error. The hard child suggests the hard home, which is characteristic of America. I visited many bouses in the United States, and, except among the definitely rich, I found them rather uncomfortable. They felt bare, untenanted? they were too neat, too new; they indicated the restaurant, the theater, the cinema were often visited;.one missed the eomfortahle ,. ^ ? * #' |'V accumulation of broken screens, old fire irons and seven-year-old volumes of the London Illustrated News, which make up the dusty, frowsy feeling of home. The American horse is not a place where one lives, but a {dace where one merely sleeps, eats, sits, works. You will say that makes up home life, but it does not^there is something else, which cap arise only out of a compound of dullness, boiled mutton, an ill-cut lawn, a dog, a cat and some mice to keep the cat amused. I ctnnot explain it better than that, and Americans may not understand what I mean, although on; English person wflDL " ? .?> 3 Il ' lj I come out of the Colombian wilderness after two years of exploration, some precious medicinal plant, growing obscurely now on the mountain peaks of Bolivia or among the jungles of western Brazil??some other plant as priceless, therapeutically, as the cinchona shrub of the Andes, whose bark*gives us quinine; or the roofr of the ipecacuanha, .brought long ago from Brazil? * ? ^ * . . * ' These questions can be answered 'only by conjectures. Are the sto ries of strange native cures true? That's just what we are going to try to find ottt. For myself, I believe that unquestionably the South American Indians Understand the medicinal uses of rare plants which are unknown, to our materia medica. Superstition, witchcraft, legend are so entangled with their actual and beneficial powers that a. white man cannot hope to get at the truth of the thousand tales he hears ex apt by long study. If among all the mixacle we can find a few real remedies, that will be as much as I expect . ? , P ?? " ; CWldrenJfcund to Respond Eagerly to Doctpfe of Kindness to Animals J By KBS. l? C.
