THE HOOD RIVER NEWS, WEDNESDAY. FEBRUARY 21. 1912 3 ii SCHOOL TOPICS Edited by E. K. Co AD A Question Oliver Wendell llolmeH once hmM that each individual Iiiih tlireu per Bonalltles: "Klrnt, there Is the real John, known only to hi Maker. "Second, John' Ideal John, never the real John und often unlike lit m. Thin, Thulium' ldeul John, never the rent John, nor John's John, and often unlike either.." From the teacher's standpoint the pupil's personality Is even more com plex. There 1m the real John; John's Ideal John; Thomas' Ideal John; Su nan' Ideal John; the Hchool'ti com poxtte ol John; mother' John; fath er's John; John's adult friend' John; and the teacher's John. All of which doubtless contlrms you In the belief that John lit an Individual of varied personality. He In. More than that, each of these personalities has to he reckoned with. Even John has more than a K'lnimerlug of the Idea that he hus nine lives. And he counts upon his multiple personality. Often he Is a hydra-faced actor who glories In his rnpld change repertoire. "We ure a part of all those with whom we associate." l'areuts who take a serious Interest In the educa tive Influences which react upon their children realize this. As a mat ter of fact parents often cannot do as they would like to do In rearing their children. They are morn or less At the mercy of the community standard. The more complex and Intricate the social life of the com munity becomes the lens freedom do parents enjoy or exercise In guiding the activities ol their children. A composite of parental guidance evolves from the factors of commun ity life that to a large measure de termines the social, moral and ethi cal activities of the youth of the community. Skillful adepts are these boys and girls In pointing out the other home variances In an effort to pull down their own home barriers and restrictions that suit not their pleasure. An Influential home that allows Its children unwarranted freedom and almost utirest rained liberty of action Is a radical community menace. The cry, "The simple life," or "Back to the farm," hits a great deal more to It than appears on the surface. In our headlong rush to get away from Puritanical Ideas Is It not possible that some of us have rushed too far? OAK GROVE CLUB I DOINGS IN UPPER I ELLIS ANNOUNCES IS BEING ORGANIZED!
