THE SHIPBUILDER 15 ...LITERARQTH lil JL'C'.X'l'lNt2 AN Hlfl li .X child horn of rich parents is us- ually considered lucky, hut l think he is verv unlucky. lf he is the only one in the family, he is petted until 110 is spoiled and he learns to have his own way. XYhen he gets to the age where he should go to school, what do his parents do hut hire a tutor for him instead of sending him to a puhlit school. The parents think he is too good and intelligent to go to a puhlic school with the poorer and mid- dle classes. l'sually a child who is under the care of a private tutor has life easy. lle does not have to study very much for his parents consider it unhealthy to study too hard. He learns things that are necessary for him to know in order to qualify him for a private school. .Xt the age of ten or more, he is sent to a very exclusive private school. llere he is received with due deference and after giving him a test, he is plac- ed iu a class according to his grade in his intelligence test. The children who live far from school, hoard at the school. Xt nine o'clock a hell rings which is a signal for the students to get into hed hefore the lights are put out. They very often have parties which their parents are invited to attend. 'l'hen they also have dances. Usually an heir is sent to a private dancing school to learn to dance. .Xfter he has reached the age of nineteen or twenty he has an examina- tion to see if he has acquired enough knowledge to enter the particular gol- lege he has chosen. 'l'hen he takes an entrance exam and if he passes he is admitted to the college. .Xfter four years of dallying in college, he comes home and hangs around for a year or so. He goes out for all the sports and he is always on hand at all -the parties. XYhen he gets tired of hanging around home with nothing to do, he is sent over to Paris to find himself. .Xfter he has stayed there for a while he thinks his vocation is an artists so he goes to an exclusive Art school and proceeds to dahhle in art. lle soon decides that is not what he likes to do so he looks around for something else. .Xfter dahhling in all that l'aris has to offer him, he decides to come home. XYhen he arrives and his parents ask what he is going to do now, he says that he hasn't decided just yet hut he will hang around until something turns up. ll'ell, it seems as if nothing of any interest to him turns up so he just hangs around the house doing nothing of any good to himself or to anyone else, just heinff a ffentleman of leisure. N 5 This is why l think an only child is unlucky. lle is given the hest of edu- cation lzut what good is it to him? lle just wastes time and a great deal of money. lle cannot he very happy hy himself. lle has taken up so many things in the schools that he .lust does not know what to do and so spends his time heing idle.
