-content: Many children today are greatly to be pitied because too much is done for
-  them and dictated to them and they are deprived of the learning processes. We seem
-  to have dropped into an age of entertaining, a breathless going from one sensation
-  to another, whether it be mechanical toys for the five-year-old or moving-picture
-  plays for the sixteen-year-old. It not only destroys their power to think, but also
-  makes happiness, contentment, and resourcefulness impossible. At seventeen, life
-  is spoken of as "so dull" if there is not "something doing" every waking hour.
