He isn't born blase. | Perhaps because he has in his home | no old masters, no wonderful statues, |no first editions, he can thrill with the delight of these things when he| [finds them in the public libraries and | museums of such a city as New York. ‘The poor child is especially ready to| find his happiness in books, and love for books seems to me the greatest gift any child can have. It is the gift T should ask above all others for a child of my own, if 1 had one. | “As for Imagination, of course the average poor child has more than the average rich child, because the former is compelled to exercise it by the very discomfort of his material surround- ings. The rich little girl will not have nearly so good a time with her $100 walking and talking doll as the poor little girl who endows with «all | the charms of the most angelic baby wooden head stuck into a stuffed | stocking.”* “You've surely proved your case jtor the wealth of the poor boy,'" I aid. ‘What makes the poverty of tue rich boy? The lack of all the assets I have desertbed as belonging to the poor boy,"’ answered Miss Gates. The rich child often suffers from il health, from too little parental companionship, from being an only child, from the influences of a snob- bish school, from too much pleasure and not enough work. Above all, he cndures the poverty of a cotton wool environment. He lacks the incentive to achieve. He is often wanting in appreciation and imagination, He can't take care of himself. “No child is rich unless he ean stand on his own feet. Indeed, if his mother throws him out of the win dow, he ought to land on his feet— aithough," the author of “The Rich Little Poor Boy’ finished, with a twinkle, ‘I trust no New York mother | will be inspired to test literally this} |particular conviction of mine.’ ' So let’s all be born down Tinpan | Alley or in Gopher Prairie, and not on Wifth Avenue or at Newport.
