EXPECTATIONS, NOT
EXPERIENCE, GUIDE
Fathers and Mothers Who Try to Aid Children Find That
t« Emotions Have Not Yet Progressed Far From
A the Primitive, Says Famous Writer
By WINIFRED BLACK
—
“It. Is not our experience that guides us, but our expectations of the j
future," says a much-quoted author.
Well, maybe.
And isn't it a wonderful thing that this is so. so far as it applies to
us, ourselves, our emotions and our reactions
It is not true as applied to the sciences; surgery,
medicine have all improved and progressed through
experience
But Just suppose for instance, our experience I
did mold our future? How long would it take us to i
be machine-so many out of a mold today, thinking
alike, acting alike, being alike?
There probably never was a mother or a father,
who didn’t pray that their own experiences could be
made to apply to their children, so that they might
aave them from the mistakes and follies of then
parents.
When they are little, even, we cannot always
save them from falls and knocks and bumps, some
times even to their destruction. But we strive to
watch and hold little hands, and ourselves pray for
WINIFRED BLACK guidance.

What right has mother to say:
'Well, but Willie Brown is much the

She has seen too many "all for love

And Nellie sighs and longs for

Willie Brown because mother
thought it was best for her to do so.
