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

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. Youngsters frequently be
have In bewildering ways, and
it takes a particularly sensitive

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.
