Adults Must Retain
Sense of Balance
In Handling Youth
Tuesday. Mart 25. 1951
-MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TR1BUKE THREE
Editor's net: President Mil
ton S. Eisanhower of Penn
sylrania Slat Collage sad
outstanding members of his
faculty hara written a seriea
of articles disciuaiag "Teen
ago Troubles." Thay deal with
youthful daliaquancy and
what may bo done to combat
tho problem. The first, by a
professor of education at Penn
sylvania State College follows:
By PAUL BIXBY
State College, Pa. OJ.PJ "Our
earth is degenerate in these lat
ter days . . . children no longer
obey their parents.
"The children row love lux
ury. They have bad manners,
contempt for authority. They
show disrespect for elders, and
love chatter in place of exercise.
They no longer rise when elders
enter the room. They contradict
their parents, chatter before
company, and tyrannize over
their teachers."
Discourag ing, isn't it? So
thought the Egyptian priest of
4000 B.C. who is quoted in the
first paragraph.
And that's Socrates speaking
in the second paragraph.
Adda to Concern
Each newspaper release indi-
dicating new waves of petty
crimes by modern youngsters
adds to our concern and dis
couragement. Of course, we must
be concerned by these stories.
As grown-ups with the interests
of. youngsters and tomorrow's
society at heart we must never
be satisfied as long as any child
anywhere is psysically, socially
or in any other way maladjust
ed. But we must at the same
time keep our perspective and
our sense of balance. The youth
of today need that from us most
of all.
As troubled adults we must
be careful not to use "youth"
as a scapegoat for conditions we
are unable to manage in our
adult world. No one seems to
argue seriously that better social
adjustment call it bejtter citi
zenship, if you wisli is not one
of our persistent problems in
helping children grow up. It is
in our discussion on how it shall
best be done that we generate
"atomic heat."
Surely there must be many
"all-right" ways of raising chil
dren. One has .only to associate
with the youth of today to be
impressed with the poised, re
sourceful, fair-minded genera-
Rain-Making Measure
Due in Legislature
The Dalles, Ore. (U.R) A bill
creating a five-man board to
regulate artificial rain-making
in Oregon will be submitted to
the next legislature by the legis
lative interim committee on
weather control.
Announcement of the commit
tee's intentions was made here
Saturday after a public hearing
on weather control held in Ar
lington. Another hearing had
been held earlier this month in
Medford.
E. M. Nelson, committee sec
retary and Wasco county exten
sion agent, said the bill would
provide for the regulating board
to be drawn from existing state
agencies.
Three Wrecks Too Much;
Autoist Takes to Feet
Baytown, Tex. (U.R) Three
wrecks in two months' time was
too much for Emmett Belcher.
He was unhurt when his car
overturned on a highway and
was demolished. Belcher was
also unhurt in a wreck in which
two men were injured seriously.
Two days later Belcher es
caped unscathed in a two-car col
lision. "I'm not pushing my luck any
farther," he said. "From now on
I'm walking." I
tion our hodge-podge methods
have produced. -
Approach Urged
Dr. James Plant, former di
rector of the Essex County Juve
nile Clinic in New Jersey and a
man who devoted his life to
helping children in trouble, oft
en urged those parents and
teachers who worked closely
with him to adopt a "public
health" approach in dealing with
children's behavior problems. If
the boy in trouble could speak
in our grown-up language he
might say:
"I'm not so much the bad boy
as I am the weak boy. What's
wrong is not wrong with me
alone but with all my con
temporaries. They have so far
been strong enough not to suc
cumb to the pressures of our
world of childhood. Alleviate
the conditions that cause my
trouble or more children will
follow me to your news head
lines and your rehabilitation
centers."
Adults To Blame
Who are to blame for children
in trouble? Individually and as
a society we adults must share
the responsibility. What can we
do about it?
Dr. Plant suggests that we ac
cept the child in trouble as the
product of his environment and
seek with him to locate and
change the causes of his mal
adjustment rather than blindly
treat the symptoms.
In addition, there must be the
willingness and the machinery
on the community level to tackle
the roots of children's difficul
ties as the public health ap
proach exposes them, and so pre
vent unacceptable behavior in
others.
Automobile Firebug
Hunted in Portland
Portland (U.R) Fire investi
gators Monday were looking into
the possibility that a firebug
with a peculiar liking for auto
mobiles was at work in Portland
after three car fires were re
ported within one hour.
Firemen were summoned to
extinguish a blaze in the front
seat of a car parked on a street
at 1:11 a.m. Fourteen minutes
later a fire was reported in an
other parked automobile. This
blaze also was in the front seat.
The third fire, reported 40
minutes later, was in the front
seat of a pickup truck owned by
Mike DeCicco. The pickup was
parked about five blocks from
the other two cars.
