FOR YOUNGSTERS
CALLED PERILOUS
LONDON (UP) A group of prom
inent medical men of Great Britain,
out to debunk a wave of fads for
dealing with "unmanageable" chil
dren, warn parent to atop "tinker
ing" with child psychology.
If a young eon li Irritable, reatlu
or scatter-brained, the chances are
ten to one that he's Just Imaginative.
Leave him alone and be probably
will grow out of It.
"The passage of time," said Or,
Reginald Miller of St. Mary's and
Padding ton Green Children's hospit
als, "and the development of the
child do vastly alter the pattern of
the child's mind, usually to the ad
vantage of everyone.
"Thus the old prognostic view that
a child will 'grow out' of Its outrage
ous ways seems to be a perfectly ac
curate forecast of what does In fact
take place."
Complaining that children always
have been "fair game" for enthusias
tic theorists. Dr. Miller said that If
they are to be analyzed by such strict
standards as have been set up by the
psychologists they will be put In the
status of aliens or lunatics.
"Everywhere we meet parents who
are tinkering with their children's psy
chology as they used to tinker with
their children's lnsldes,' the physi
cian said.
The physicians supporting Dr. Mil
ler's crusade of debunking most of
them are on the staffs of large chil
dren's hospitals in London said that
despite mothers' fears children are
able to thrive In all sorts of atmos
pheres and have their own way of
avoiding alt kinds of perils.
"The great weakness of the psy
chologists," Dr. Miller said. "Is ibe
way In which they directly link cause
and effect In a manner often too hazy
to be convincing. Far too little credit
Is given to the beneficial effects of
the passage of time and the gradual
developments the child."
The physicians agreed that there
are fewer "backward" children than
the psychologists would have parents
believe.
They also minimized the effects of
home environment, stating that en
vironment rarely was the direct cause
of a difficult child, but that It might
aggravate conditions.
Many parents whose children dls-1
play strong and aggravating tempor
aments are waging a useless fight
when they try to change ihem, Dr.
Miller contended.
"It Is absolutely no use wasting
time on these inherent characteris
tics, as we cannot change them," he
aid. "We ought not to deceive our
selves that by modifying certain su
perficial matters in a child's life we
are producing those fundamental al
terations which are natural In growth
and development."
In discussing the question of child
discipline before a meeting of tne
Medical Society of London, Dr. Miller
said the Ideal discipline Is more a
matter of atmosphere than of rules
and regulations.
"Punishments as given In the home
are not of much value In the correc
tion of difficult children," he de
clared. "Rewards, which I suppose would
be called negative punishments, are
slightly more useful, and general en
couragement of the child always Is
neceiutnry. It Is essential that a child,
having paid Its price, should get .ts
forgiveness and reinstatement. The
element of disgrace should be kept at
a minimum, for a child's sent of Jus
tice enables It to see that to be both
punished and kept In disgrace Is not
fair.
"To keep up a series of punish
ments by a scheme now called 'sanc
tions' Is mishandling any child.
"Children have suffered enough
from mothers who are over-anxious
as regards their physical health. It Is
not plrasant to contemplate what
their lot will be like when the same
type of mother goes In for tackling
their psychological health."

DIFFICULTY OVER
UNICAMERAL PLAN
LINCOLN, Neb. (UP) Nebraska,
first state to adopt a non-partisan,
one-house legislature, la discovering
that people's ways of thinking can
not be changed overnight.
Particularly, It la learning that it la
more difficult to change a politician's
mode of thinking and acting.
The chief worry now Is that poli
ticians In redisricting the state lor
the unicameral legislature during reg
ular session of the two-house legis
lature, have erred so much that It
will be necessary to call a second spe
cial session.
This situation, according to .Tack
son B. Chase, Omaha lawyer who has
Investigated It, resulted from attempts
of members of the legislature to
"gerrymander" the state's metropolis
for political purposes.
A map has been drawn to show that
there are blocks In Omaha that are
In two districts, other blocks that -ire
In no district and territories that are
not contiguous, u the unicameral
amendment specified.
Chase believes there la a possibility
there will be no unicameral legisla
ture In January. 1937, the date set
for the Inauguration of V. S. Senator
Qeorge W. Norrls' model assembly.
It was Norrls .everyone agrees, who
put over the Idea In Nebraska In the
race of opposition by most politicians,
most newspapers and members of the
legislature.
The amendment adopting the uni
cameral legislature was placed on the
ballot In November, 1034, by Initi
ative petition and accepted by a vote
of 286,089 to 103,163. In the hands
of a hostile legislature was pieced the
responsibility of districting the state.
Chase has called to the attention
of Gov. R. h. Cochran and other of
ficials the necessity of calling an
other special session to redlstr.ct
Omaha, which Is given seven mem
bers out of 43. If there Is no special
session, he says, there will be no uni
cameral legislature In 1037.
The Omaha election commissioner
might save the situation by district
ing the city himself, attempting to
follow the "Intent" of the legislature
with the hope the court, would sus
tain him In an Inevitable test suit.
Of the first 78 candidates who filed
for the unicameral legislature, 40
were members of the last blcameial
legislature. Among the remaining 38
there were few who 'were widely
known or distinguished. It Is reason
able to assume that a good number
of present legislators will be elected
to Norrls' model assembly.
The Democratic floor leaders of the
house and senato are candidates. So
Is the speaker of the house. Political
observers are asking:
"Will they be strictly non-partisan?"
This applies to the Republicans,
too, but there were few of them In
the last legislature.
Observers are asking, too, "Will the

HOLLAND PLANS
E
FOREIGN TRADE
AMSTERDAM (UP) Early this
spring an Important trade mission
headed by Jonkheer Dr. J. Loudon,
the Dutch minister at Paris, will visit
as many South American countries
as possible and work for an Increase
of reciprocal trade between Holland,
with Its colonies, and South America.
This was revealed by the mlnlsr
of commerce, Industry and shipping,
Dr. H. C. J. H. Gellssen, who said that
not only North America but South
America would receive Holland's most
Intensive attention during the present
year.
"Holland Is determined, he said,
"to do its utmost to shake off t.ie
Influence of the crisis during 1030.
The situation Is by no means easy.
However, " there are several hopeful'
signs, such ss, for Instance, that last
year Dutch Industry earned more
than In 1034, notwithstanding the
fact that Holland remained on the
gold standard. The prospects for ship
ping are a little better, and Holland
at the moment has no sea-going ves
sels that are being laid up."
The newly concluded reciprocal
trade agreement between the United
States and the Netherlands Is having
a far-reaching Influence on the part
of the United States to put Interna
tional commerce again on a sane
basis. Holland, with Its Important fin
ancial and commercial position m
Europe and Its tremendous colonies,
Is to be a partner In this crusade.
Although no official comment ts
available, there is no doubt that the
agreement with the United States will
have the effect of curtailing the gi
gantic plans of Dr. Gellssen to In
dustrialize a great part of Holland
and thus further reduce commerce
with other countries.
This plan was envisaged before the
United States showed Its determina
tion to lower trade barriers. Hol

produce, bulbs, and other agricul
tural produce has been hit extreme
ly hard. There seemed to be no pros
pect for normal commercial relations
and the only way out apparently was
to occept Dr. Gellssen's proposal to
Industrialize the country.
It Is safe to assume that Holland
now will only build up Industries
that can replace the Imports Jr-m
countries that are unwilling to grant
Holland a fair share In their trade.
Holland, apparently. Is going to work
on the principle of "I buy from you
and you buy from me."
It cannot be denied that Holland,
with 450,000 unemployed out of a
population of not more than 8.000.
000, will need all the Increase In Its
trade turn-over that It possibly can
get to prevent a serious situation
from becoming more acute.
The export of agricultural and In
dustrial products during recent years
had been reduced by $600,000,000 an
nually. The government has been
forced to assist farmers. Industrial
workers, and the unemployed to the
extent of several hundred million
guilders a year.
So Holland Is determined to seek
more trade and Its traders are pledged
to adapt themselves to the American
market. With the United States
agreement as a starting point, the
mission to South America will seek to
extend the benefits of reciprocity. .

INNS FOR YOUTH
IN WEST URGED;
RATES SET LOW
BAN FRANCISCO (UP) A cam
paign for simple, Inexpensive Inns,
where young people can stop whtle
traveling In the west, has been
launched by Miss Josephine D. Ran
dall, director of the San Francisco
recreation department.
The chain of Inns in the west
would link up with those already In
existence In the ea-t, where 35 such
hotels have been lonstruoted since
the Idea was brought from Europe.
The youths hotels, Miss Randall ex
plains, already have become an Inte
gral part of the 18 different Buropan
countries. There It Is possible lor
young people to travel widely by bi
cycle, foot and canoe In six weeks at a
total cost of 820. These Inns had their
Inception in Germany but have now
spread to nearly all European coun
tries. The Idea was Introduced Into the
United States by Monroe and Isabel
Smith and has proved a success In
tho east. Miss Randall hopes to com
plete the system throughout the west
ern states.
The general plan will Blways be the
