Parents often make tho moral training of their children unneces sarily difficult by emphasizing is sues of abstract right and wrong. Nothing, for Instance, is more con fusing to thV child than to be told repeatedly that lying Is wicked. lie hears mother give a lying excuse to the lady who is inviting her for dinner, lie hoars father tell his aunt how much he liked the red necktie she gave him for Christmas when he known that father has always disliked that particular color. To add to his confusion ho finds that he Is apt tu be punished for telling tlie truth at the wrong mo ment, lie remembers how he was scolded for innocently saying to the lady visitor that who must bo very uld for he hoard father say she would never see 10 again. Instead of telling a child that U is always wicked to lie, it is much better to let him learn that truth fulness in desirable generally he cause it makes it easier for people to get along if they know that they can rely upon each other. "Wc can rely upon the child properly to evaluate truthfulness if our own conduct In truth telling Is above reproach. . At the jame time that ho learns that It la generally good 1o tell the truth, he can learn also that we do not tell the truth when it will mako s o in e o n e unnecessarily unhappy,! that it is often perhaps better to, evade than to answer a direct quos-l tion truthfully. 'tiuoh training cultivate the spirit of truth telling, while It offers an explanation of those incousisten-; cies in the conduct of his elders which must inevitably attract the' attention of even tho lcat;t observ ant child.

Wc moan, for Instance, tho of fice employees, many of whom arc unmarried, and all others who draw full wages during this pe riod of depression. Although they know nothing about It, evidently, from experi ence as they are Immune.
