Gay, light-hearted and debonair
though R obert bonis Stevenson was
daring most of his life, he held views
on the training of children that, com
ing from him, seem astonishingly se
vere. Mr. Lloyd Osbourne, his step
son, w riting In Scribner’s Magazine,
described a conversation th a t occurred
when be and Stevenson, then thirty-
two years old and In poor health,
were sojourning a t Davos In the
Swiss Alps.
One conversation I heard him have
with a visitor a t th e chalet, says Mr.
Osbourne. Impressed me deeply. The
visitor was a fussy, officious person,
who after many pream bles ventured to
criticize Stevenson for the way he
was bringing me up. R. L. 8., who
wae the most reasonable of men In an
argum ent, and alm ost over-ready to
adm it any points against himself, sur
prised me by his unshaken stand.
“Of course I let him read anything
he wants.” he said. “And If he hears
things yon say he shouldn’t, I am
glad of It. A child Should early gain
some perception of w hat the world
la really like—Its baseness. Its treach
eries, Its thinly veneered b ru talities;
he should learn to Judge people and
discount human frailty and weakness
and be In some degree prepared and
armed for taking his p art la te r In the
b attle of life. I have no patience
with this fairy-tale training th at makes
Ignorance a virtue. T h at was how I
was brought op. and no one will ever
know except myself the b itter misery
It cost me."—Youth's Companion.
Visiting Pest Bane
o f Busy Office M an
The "Just-a-mlnute" man la a prod
uct of modern times, and Is In no way
related to the Minute Man of Revolu
tionary days. He Is the w orst pest
with whom D etroiters high In public
office and business life have to deal.
He alw ays appears to be In a hurry.
He (lashes Into the outer office of his
victim, pulls out his w atch, and
breathlessly asks the secretary If he
can see Mr. So-and-so for "Just a min
ute.” He Is often successful In gain
ing adm ittance, and he usually stays
about 30 minutes, or until long after
he has worn out his welcome.
The “Just-a-m lnute” man Is legion.
Ills visits sometimes take up several
hours a day of one busy m an's time.
One business man adm itted he could
dispense with his secretary If It were
not for th e "Just-a-mlnute" man. The
secretary's chief duty Is to Intercept
the pest and leurn his business.—De
