Prejudice of Small Children
Shown in Survey, 'Shocking'
"What a shock to learn that my own child is prejudiced!" The
speaker was a prominent educator, a good parent and a good
American. His six-year old daughter had said, "Let's cross the
street .Daddy. Here comes a Negro."
The story of the prejudice of this child, plus that of thousands
of other youngsters, is told in s

Washington, Oct. 24. (U.R) You look at a new set of maps
and you see a lot of places you'd like to visit.
Like lake Chargoggogagoggmanchauggogoggchaubunagunga
ma; 45 letters.
It's in Massachusetts and is pronounced: "You fish on your
side; I'll fish on my side, and
nobody fish in the mmaie.
Chargogg. etc., which has
eiven newspaper typesetters oc
cupational cramps across the
wearisome years, is the longest
word in the Atlas just issued by
Rand McNally & Company
which specializes in getting out
new maps and throwing new
words at the people in the form
of dictionaries.
The new map book is called
the "Cosmopolitan World Atlas,
It presents an entirely new
picture of the world we live In.
A staff of experts toiled more
than 125,000 hours during an
eight-year period to produce the
first new atlas in more than a
decade.
It's like going to school all
over again to finger through the
352 pages, 111 of which are
maps.
"We tried in this book to con
form to world conditions," says
Andrew McNally, III, president
of the publishing company.
The world had done a lot of
changing since the last atlas was
put out, so this one has a new
look," which, according to the
publishers, has a "world ap
proach."
.For example, foreign maps
precede American maps, which
reverses the usual form. The
international approach gets the
emphasis.
In the foreign section, the
editors and draftsmen display
maps that show areas that are
closely knit. Like the Benelux

nations, such as Belgium, The
Netherlands, and Luxembourg,
which are a natural unit, even
though they are separate coun
tries. All of this is designed to help
busy correspondents who view
the situation from Washington
and dads who do homework for
little kids who have to take a
lot of sass from teacher if they
don't know one country from an
other. Americans have come to real
ize that World War II kicked
the maps around as far as geog
raphy was concerned. Boun
daries were bloated and whole
areas disappeared while new
ones sprang up in their place
The Cosmopolitan doesn't miss
any of these bets. In addition it
includes tables showing air and
steamship distances; climactic
and economic tables; world facts
and comparisons, as well as
geographical and historical in
formation, and glossaries.
It is interesting to note how
maps are made.
In the old days a map maker
did it the hard way. He travel
ed the area and measured his
ground, almost foot by foot. For
information from distant lands,
the old-timer relied on sketchy
information (often Inaccurate)
that came in from travelers.
Hence, if you care to go to the
Library of Congress, as I did,
you will find North and South
America in all varieties of
shapes and sizes in the old books.
The modern maker of maps
has it much easier. He knows
that his information is correct,
thanks to science. His problem
is to sift through the flies and
find the best of a pretty fine lot.
The problem of atlas readers
is to find a bigger lap. The
modern atlas is too big to hold
on your knees. It's certainly
no bed-sider. Ie measures 11
inches by 14 V4 inches. It's an
inch and a half thick and weighs
6V4 pounds.
an article "Is Prejudice Poison
ing Our Kids" in the November
Woman's Home Companion.
"This article has the neces
sary, if poignant, duty of bring
ing to light the first comprehen
sive investigation of prejudice
in children," writes Howard
Whitman.
"The investigation was made
by the Philadelphia Early Child
hood Project. For three years
they painstakingly worked to
measure the social perceptions
and attitudes of children in six
public schools from kindergar
ten to second grade."
No child was ever born with
racial or religious prejudice,
notes the author. But this study
shows that children can acquire
it while they're still wearing
rompers.
It has been the tendency of
many experts to assume that
children are not prejudiced. The
findings of this survey have been
shocking to social scientists as
well as parents.
"Actually, comments Helen G.
Trager, director of the project,
"we found many children satu
rated with prejudice. Nearly all
were tainted in some degree."
Summing up the mountains of
data, the researchers rated each
child on his attitude of accept
ance or rejection of various so
cial groups.
These were the final figures.
Towards Jews, 63 percent were
neutral, noncommittal or eva
sive; only ten percent accepted
Jews and 27 percent openly re
jected them. Catholics were
openly rejected by nine percent
and Protestants by one percent.
When it came to the white
children's attitude toward Ne
groes, 32 percent were neutral
or had mixed feelings; 68 per
cent openly rejected Negroes
and none at all accepted them.
