(From The Blue Bell) The word “adult” comes from two roots—“a-”—meaning “a” and “-dult”, probably a softened form of “dolt”, meaning grown­ up. There are two classes of adults, the pure and the adult­ erated. The first group is regret­ tably small, comprising those staunch souls who have the strength of ten because of a singular lack- of temptation in their lives. The second group consists of the rest of the people who reach the age of twenty-one with (a) intelligence enough to vote, or (b) too much intelli­ gence enough to vote, or (b) too much intelligence to vote. Adults develop from babies, but retain many infantile habits. They like to be fussed over, to be the centre of attention. They like to make a lot of noise—they call it “talking”. A baby is said to he born with only a couple of fears, but in growing up he keeps adding to them. There is practically no end to the number of fears an up-and-coming adult van acquire. An adult eats regularly. He also eats irregularly, constantly and excessively. Whereas a mother tries to give a baby the correct things to eat, she does just the opposite when lie be­ comes an adult. She feeds him French-fried potatoes, rich past­ ries. gooey cake. He is frequently heard to say that no one can cook like his mother. Adults vary greatly in their sleeping habits: some sleep too much, most of them sleep too little. If an? was ever found who leaped like a mountain gazelle from his morning bed, he is doubtless now in a museum. Most of them make strange un­ intelligible sounds until they are given a cup of coffee. Their play habits are interest­ ing. A ball has a peculiar fas­ cination for most of them. They hit it down miles of fields; they whack it with a bat on racket; they toss it down a wooden alley; they kick it around a field which is dusty, muddy or snowy. It is no mere figure of speech when one adult says of another that he has something on the ball. It is usually himself. Adults are both the hope and the despair of the world. About the only accurate thing you can say about them is that they are so darned human! Try a Want Ad—A small doer of big deads—Phone 31-W.
