A new word was added to most teachers' vocabulary, "Empathy". This word was the theme of the meeting. "Empathy" gave con siderable interest to teachers and lay people alike. Empathy is akin to sympathy, but whereas sympathy says, "I fee as vou do", empatny says, "I know how you feel". Empathy enables us to use our neaas ram- pr than our hearts. With sym pathy you reflect some of his sufferinc. vour anxiety in turn may Increase his distress. When employing empathy, which is for greater helo. vou put yourself in the other person's situation. As an example, If you are roped to vour comnanion on a mountain climbing expedition and one of your party falls over a cinr, you don't help by jumping after him, but rather by making your loot ing secure enough to haul him back. In brief, empathy means learning to better understand each other by putting ourselves in the other person's place. Learning to use empathy takes patience. It's necessary always to remember that empamy worn ifhlv so lone as vou remain de- tatched, acknowledging the other person's feelings but never snar ing them. Using empathy to enter the mind and heart of an other human being can become a great adventure. Acquire tnis skill, and it will roll back the horizons of one's daily life.

Maybe we snouia imnn and discuss more about tne rea sons for delinquency. Th Question. "What kind parent-child relationships keep the teenager from becoming a delinquent?" may be one of the objective ways to iook ai uie problem. With question in mind Washington State College made a report on what Is known as the "Tri Citv Studv". They used uata collected from approximately 3150 Konnewick-Pasco-Richland high school students. The two professors, Ivan Nye and Erdwin Kuril, irom wasn incton State College who made this report, first give a note of rnntlnn. that association doesn't neccssarilv mean caution. Included here are eleven kinds of parent-child relationships they found associated with delinquent behavior. 1. A high note of delinquency is found In the home where the teenager rejects the parents shown by a disrespect or Indif ference towards parents. 2. If punishment is unfair de linouencv is hieher, also if pun- ishment is expected or promised and not delivered it Is still Mgner Constant scolding, nagging, ana love withdrawal by the parents are also associated with high rates of delinquency. 3. Least delinquency is found where teenagers are kept home week nights, but are allowed out on weekend nights. Highest de llnquencyis found where teen acers are allowed complete free dom of movement. Freedom to to out bv themselves as opposed to going with a group was found related to delinquency, partlcu larlv with elrls. 4. Low rales of delinquency is associated with high frequency of home recreation shared by parents and their children. 5. Good and neat appearance in parents is associated with low rates of delinquency. Objectlonal appearance violates the teen- a tiers sense of rlchtness and makes him feel he lias "lost face' with his friends. 6. Delinquency is low when parents and teen agers share the same values. That is, when they agree on 1 lie importance of re ligion, honesty, etc. Where there is a conflict in values the adult cannot serve successfully as a mnrioi nr euide the teenager away from delinquent behavior. 7. Generosity in parents is associated with low delinquency as is impartiality in sharing fam ily income among brothers, sis ters. This does not mean the giving of large amounts of money to teenagers, this in its self is associated with high delin quency. 8. Disagreement, constantly, between parents, with or with out emotional outbursts, Is re lated to high delinquency. 9. Ethical behavior in both na rents is related to least delin- ouent behavior. Cheerfulness, evenness of temper, absence of moodiness, and a general calm ness are all very helpful in the behavior of the child. 10. Low delinquency is related to Darents' interest, absence of partiality in interest, and fre quent use of praise ana trust in the teenager. High delinquency is most ofter associated with par ents who are hostile or indifferent to their children. 11. In families where teen agers ask parents for information and advice when neeaea a low dolinauencv is associated with this type of family. The practice of taking sex problems to par ents is related to low delinquency with one interesting exception. Girls who always or frequently take sex questions to their father turned up on the high delinquen cy list. Four questionnairies were given tn aonroximatelv 3150. ninth, tenth, eleventh and twelfth grade pupils. The questionnairies were anonymous.

Everyone is rushing to see if they got the job they were wanting. Members in Stanley Holm's Algebra II class are working at their own speed, whenever they finish a chapter they are tested on it. Some of the "quickies" are apt to be finished with the course long before the end of the year. The shorthand class is going to make pictures using shorthand symbols. Their work will then be displayed on the bulletin board in the commercial room. The Oregon Business Educa tion will award a $100.00 scholar ship to an outstanding high school business student. The scholarship will be pre sented through the Future Busi ness Leaders of America. Each BBLA organization contributes to this fund.

About 1 per cent of these questionnaries were unusable for these reasons. From this bit of research one may see very quickly that the home, church and school should play a more cooperative part in helping not only the teenagers, but the parent as well. P. G. N.
