milligan charles dickens was a keen student of human nature and while some of his characters may have been overdrawn in certain features they were mostly true to life the char- acters he depicted were of course typical of the times in which he lived and it may be said they were tiie product of the social conditions prevailing in england particularly in london in the early part of the nineteenth century but although times and conditions may change human nature is fundamentally the same in all generations we have our pickwicks micawbers dombeys bumbles fagins gradgrinds and the rest of the dickensian species with us today under different guises and circumstances out standing among these in this age of science and realism are the gradgrinds theymay not be very numerous and our gradgrinds may not be quite as outspokenas theiroriginal they are usually more subtle and scientificbut occasionally one of these realists bursts out his suppressed contempt for anything- and everything that is not strictly in conformity with facts the realm of imagination is outside of their mental orbit and as for poetry and fantfesyrhey are so tonedeaf and colorblind to the things of the spirit that they impatiently dismi them as nonexistent or as per versions of facts the latest of- these modern gradgrinds to reveal him- self is maj-gen- brock chisholmi rdeputy health minister at ottawa in a speech at washington recently he derided the theology and moral teachings of the christian churches and he followed this up later by cruelly exposing the myth of santa claus in an address at the womens forum of the young womens christian association- at ottawa thegen- eral said that children should be told the literal truth about everything he said that no i child can believe in santa claus and not be afraid because santa claus was then a glost unless he the child was a moron or an imbecile he was sure that everyone present including him- self would have been afraid during hvteens to sleep on a gravein a cemetery the reason was that magic and ghosts were believed in and thinking was distorted he went on to say that if mothers would make sure children understood that fairy stories and santa claus were a pretence and only for fun the distorted thinking would vanish as a result and would increase the chances of the human race surviving for 100 years by 75 per cent the general himself seems to oe entering into the realm of fantasy when he talks about a child sleeping on a grave in a cemetery and claims that human life would beextended to 100 years if children were told that santa claus and fairy stories were only for fun no child unless he were a moron or an imbecile would ever think of sleeping in a graveyard and there is something deficient in the child who cannot without explanation enter into the fun and enjoy the mental stimulation of fairyland to the normal child- mind the world into which he has just entered is itself a -wonderland- heaven lies about us in
