CHAPTER II
INFANCY
IN one of the scenes in Maeterlinck's story "The Bluebird" we are given a glimpse of the land where the unborn babies live. There they are, waiting for Father Time to come and carry them off to the earth. One has his box of crimes all ready to bring with him; another the good. deeds which he shall perform in the years to come. It is only a poet's fancy, and we cannot believe that each newborn babe comes to earth destined to live a certain life. Yet, as we look at a wee infant for the first time and wonder what the future will mean for him, we are glad to know that, although he is not already fully armed with his good deeds, he does bring a precious treasure. He brings the possibility for growth. He possesses the capability for developÂment. Just how he shall grow, just what direction his development shall take, depends, in a large measure, upon those who are intrusted with his care and training.
