Grammar School Time to Steer Girls Toward Science Career Is your grammar or high school daughter especially good at mathematics, with a possible inclination toward the sciences? If so, this is the time to steer her towards a romantic career in the burgeoning fields of chemistry and physics and thus help the United States to keep ahead in the world's technological race. This advice is from a man who should know. He's Dr. Clarence E. Larson, vice president in charge of research for National Carbon company, a division of Union Carbide and Carbon cor poration, and formerly director of the Oak Ridge National lab oratory, operated for the Atomic Energy commission by Union Carbide. And why aren't the pert young misses setting their sights for the Bunsen burners? "Because we get to them too late," Dr. Larson believes. "The real time to itart influencing the poten tial scientists is at the grammar school age on up through high school while there is still time to strengthen their mathematics and elementary science. By col lege age it's often too late, es pecially in the case of women. "Industry can't do the job of preparing more women for sci entific careers without the aid of parents," Dr. Larson contin ues. "It's only natural that many parents easily picture their young daughters behind a type writer in an office but consider the laboratory bench as some thing unromantic. "Exactly the opposite in the case. Modern laboratories, such as the one devoted to chemical and solid state physics, which National Carbon recently open ed in Parma, Ohio, are unusual ly pleasant places to work. Aside from the romance of her work, one of the new frontiers of scientific knowledge, the unmar ried young lady has an oppor tunity to meet many eligible . young men, with similar cultural backgrounds and interests. "Even after marriage, there's no reason why the young lady can't continue her career. It so happens that the laboratory is perfectly compatible with the Leon's Are Happy To Present Another Outstanding New Line Of Finest Quality Footwear! 2 tvonh I 1 mm stay I home SHAlGAftS; btcautt ovary kind of tkoe comfortable c your glome t ft'l toft iIT-ot( Sltrn aU Skenamgcsiiolwoyt the tkoe yo put e jiriU Parker Woods' , nursery. The woman can easily 1 obtain leave for maternity rea- sons and if she's a good scien tist, she can also at the same time be a good housewife and mother." Without a doubt, says Dr. Lar son, women have demonstrated their ability in chemistry and physics, with more going into the former field than in the lat ter. It is his hope that the change in attitude, on the part of large corporations toward women, will attract more of them to scientific work. The scientist points out that industrial research right now could use 5,000 to 10,000 women a year and more in the future. He adds that as one example many opportunities for women are open in the new National Carbon Laboratories in Parma.

Teen-Age Parental Clashes Inevitable, Says Chicago Are clashes be-' tween teen-agers and parents in evitable? Yes, say Dr. Evelyn Millis Duvall, noted family life specialist, in an. article on this subject appearing in the current issue of National Parent-Teach er, official- publication of the National Congress of Parents and Teacher. Not only are they inevitable," writes Dr. Duvall, "but they are normal and in some instances actually desirable. Children must grow up, emancipate them selves from their families, and pursue ways of life that 'make sense for their generation. Par ents must let their children go and grow. Growth and develop ment, for both child arid parent, often seem like a series of" little explosions that lead to a new level of being." Clashes, while normal,' do'not need to be destructive, the child specialist points out. The task within families must be to limit to constructive ones. ' . As adolescents strain to prove themselves, they often rush into potentially dangerous situations, Dr. Duvall says. It is up to the parents to protect them, but the parental point cf view may . be quite different from that of the teen-ager himself, while the adolescent needs the restraint of the more experienced, mature person, the parent needs to re member that life has chanted since his youth. Today's ydlrhg people necessarily do thlngspif ferently because they are grow ing up in an age that sharply differs. The parent's attempt to. hold fast to outmoded practices is an other cause for the precipitation of clashes with modern young sters. Others arise from the un even nature of teen-age develop ment.

January 18, 1137 Specialist and skillful parent io meet com petently ' their characteristic quick-changing moods and needs. Recent studies indicate that mothers with part-time jobs tend to have better relationships with their teen-agers than do those whose only interests are ?$eir homes, and children, according to the article. ."The reason may well be that mothers who have .outside em ployment and interests do not depend so heavily upon their growing children's attention and confidences.' The young person who feels himself under con stant, surveillance will complain of snoopervision' and pull as far away as he can from his hovering mother." There are at least six ways of keeping conflicts working for rather than against family har mony, Dr. Duvall concludes. These are listed as a willingness to listen, a helpful approach in terms of the other person's feelings, the right combination of emotion and reason, a clear statement of position with valid reasons and illustrations, the de velopment with other families of a community youth code, and a willingness to consider any thing as a possibility until it proves to. be unworkable.
