three clergymen, a newspaper editor, a women'i editor and two writers.
Each article is a summary of an actual tae history The Council reports
on problems that have been daaJt wl b by responsible agencies and

Ellen T. - We should lei
Doug get married.
Lucas T. - Why hand him
everything on a silver plat
ter? Ellen T. - My husband and
I are having a serious dis
agreement about our 20-year-old
son, Douglas.
The boy has found a very
nice girl at college and they
want to get married. They
would both work part-time
for their expenses. All they
want from us is thai we keep
the college tuition fees. The
girl's parents are more than
willing and offer, in addition,
to take care of any special
expenses. .
I see no reason for them
to wait. They are very young,
it's true. But it's better to
know that your son is settled
down with a nice girl than
to have to worry about his
running wild. Thousands of
college students marry. Why
not our boy?
.
Lucas T. - Al the risk of
being called a sour old skin
flint, I'm ready to declare
myself as being opposed to
making things too easy for
the young.
I feel that a man who con
siders himself ready to mar
ry should have some knowl
edge of the world, should
know where he is heading
and should be willing and
ready to struggle a little on
his own to win the lady of
his choice.
It seems lo me that Doug
lakes too much for granted.
He is getting his education
on a silver platter. He doesn't
understand the money has to
come from someone's sweat.
It's true he holds a part-lime
job, but that's a drop in the
bucket.
The Council: Lucas' ideas
are somewhat counter to the
present tide, but many sociol
ogists and educators would
second them.

Cabinsite Lots Are

Central Snake projects of

advanced the opinion that ear
ly marriage may be draining
our nation of its top asset
the enthusiasm and spirit of
adventure of young men.
Dr. Mead points out that
traditionally the young man
has wanted to learn, explore,
experiment. He has been will
ing to move. along . unknown
paths, giving of his full time
and energy in the pursuit of
an unknown " goal. He has
been willing lo experiment
because he has not thought
in terms of immediate re
wards. Today, Dr. Mead adds,
young girls not out of their
teens are making all the de
cisions for these men. If a
prospective husband wants to
pursue some special field of
knowledge, the girl wants lo
know first, whether it will
postpone the wedding day,
and second, whether it will
keep him away from home
much. This youth is expected
to share the burden of bring
ing up children because, in
most cases, the girl also wants
lo get an education.
We think Lucas also has
a valid point when he says
he wants to see his son forge
his character through a. bit
of struggle before he claims
a wife. Ellen shows clearly
that she would like to de
liver him from her arms se
curely into the arms of a
good wife. There would be
no interval for Douglas to
grow into individuality and
manhood.
It was once considered a
lest of love for two people
to be willing lo wait for one
another while each worked
lo achieve certain goals. We
don't think it's a bad idea.

Practical 'Psychologist' Is
As Close as Child's School
(Editor's note: This is an
other in a series of articles
furnished by the National
Education association. To
day's article deals with a
child's behavior in school.)
Washington, D.C. If you
are often baffled by your
child's behavior, there is a
practical "psychologist" as
close to you as your child's
school. It is his teacher.
The average elementary
teacher, during a 30-year ca
reer, will live with, work
with, and love more than
-,000 children. How many
parents can claim that amount
of experience?
Even before they start their
leaching careers, teachers re
ceive extensive training in
child psychology. They learn
to recognize the danger sig
nals of potential delinquency.
They learn that a reading dif
ficulty may be the result of
an emotional problem . . .
and how to recognize a gifted
child hiding behind a smoke
screen of apathy. They learn
what characteristics a child
reveals at different age levels.
From their extensive
knowledge of c h i 1 d r e n a
combination of their practi
cal experience and broad
training America's teachers,
through the National Educa
tion association, offer the

FIRST TIME AT THESE
following practical pointers to
parents: ,
The 2 to 5 year old
Teachers can usually "spot"
those youngsters who have
had few opportunities to play
with children their own age.
Pre-schoolers who play with
other children before school
starts adjust more quickly to
school life. If your child has
had few chances to play with
others, invite children to your
home ... or lake him to parks
and playgrounds.
If your child is accustomed
to being away from home and
mother, he will tind it much
easier to adjust to school. Kin
dergarten and first-g r a d e
teachers suggest that you
leave him with friends or
relatives occasionally, before
school starts for several
hours, a whole day, or over
night. Leaving home to go to
school will come as a pleas
ant experience rather than a
psychological shock.
The 6 to 10 year old
Teachers know that parents
can increase iheir child's
mental alertness, during the
early elementary school years.
You can do this by exposing
your child to a rich variety of
family activities. Take him on
trips, to children's plays and
concerts. Expose him to good
art, surround him with many
books and magazines.
Do not compare his be
havior or school work with
that of his classmates or his
brothers and sisters. Children
develop at different rates of
speed. Each has his own rate
of growth and maturity. Your
child may be a slow develo
per. Look for ways to help
and encourage him.
The 11 to 17 year old
Students in junior high
school want lo know the
"why" of what they are learn
ing. Teachers advise parents
to encourage family discus
sions on a variety of topics,
and to make a point of track
ing down the facts behind
general statements. Your
youngster will enjoy airing

learning to think critically,
and to check facts.
Teen-agers often discuss
their life plans with teachers
and friends, rather than with
parents. Don't feel left out
and resentful if this happens
to you.
Visit your youngster's
teachers anti counselors, and
find out how you can help
him make these important
decisions. Turning to outsid
ers for advice is normal at
these ages.
Resurfacing To

Vernon Thorpe, public works
director.
The company is expected lo
