Slum Removal Fails to End
Crime, Alcoholism Problems
Washington lliPli - hipping
the slums out of cities hasn't
eradicated crime, delinquen
cy, alcoholism, mental disease
and other curses of the poor.
So city planners and others
are trying to find other solu
tions to the "disabilities of
the low income population."
Among these, according to
Herbert J. Cans, are "schemes
for guided mobility" - pro
grams to lift the lower class
into the working class and
thence into the middle class.
Gans, a university of Penn
sylvania student of urban
problems, told a recent meet
ing of the American Sociologi
cal Association that these
schemes, though well-intended,
are based on ignorance of
the people they are supposed
to serve.
This, he said, is where the j
professional sociologist can
help the planners. How can
you persuade or help the
lower class to become middle
class?
Programs now envisaged in
the country's larger cities can
do little to change society, to
create more jobs for the poor
or remove racial barriers,
Gans said.
: A part of the answer might
be to reduce the skepticism of
lower class parents about edu
cation by making money pay
ments to children permitted
to go to school. Grants in lieu
of wages might persuade men
who dropped out of school in
Adolescence to return to
school in their twenties.
But before any program
makes sense, the professional

resist efforts to aid them
"Is it the inability to con
centrate, to use words as con
cepts rather than as tools in
interpersonal struggles, or is
it simply the absence of
books, and privacy for study
at home, and the fact that
the youngster is from his
earliest days surrounded bv
many people who are men
tally ill. including even his
parents?"
It may be, Gans suggested,
that "adults and adolescents
who have grown up in a
lower class milieu have so
hardened their defenses
against deprivation that they
can no longer cha.ige."
"In that case," he said,
"perhaps only young children
can be helped effectively, and
much of the effort might best
be spent on rescuing them
from the lower class . . ."
In any event, Gans said,
the social scientists have to
get moving and come up with
some conclusions upon which
action can be based. The need
is creat. Time is pressing.
"The planners," Gans said,
"cannot wait for further re
search." Subscribers

The only possible way to
talk about this ridiculous
character is in a frivolous
manner and call him what he
really is, a lowly organism
that spends his entire life at
tached to the piling of a dock
or a bridge, going nowhere
and accomplishing absolutely
nothing. That just about sums
up the "sea squirt."
Maybe, because he and his
fellows are so insignificant he
appears interesting to those
who would delve into the lives
of the very low and try to
find out what they have been
doing all these many millions
of years. When we find out a
little about this character we
discover he has a pretty com
plex nature, and is full of sur
prises and physical reversals.
If present experiments ful
fill the expectations of science,
we may hear a great deal
about the sea squirt some day.
Sac-Like Body
The sea squirt belongs to a
iamily of sea animals known
as "ascidians," having a sac
like body as wrinkled as a
prune, with two openings in
the body for the intake and
exhaust of sea water. The
water is drawn into the body,
where the food is strained out,
and then the water is expelled.
Actually the body is little
more than a living strainer.
The little guy has a heart and
a circulatory system, the blood

for a while, then the flow is
reversed.
He also has a well develop
ed liver, stomach and a nerv
ous system of sorts. He seems
well equipped for a stationary
life, for once attached to a
piling he's stuck for life.
Shaped like a prune, he has
no fins, feet, feelers or claws.
The eggs are liberated and
hatch into little free swim
ming creatures, having a tail,
eyes and a little backbone.
The larvae stage lasts but a
few days, and the little squirt
attaches itself to the under
I water part of a piling or a
boat bottom. He loses his
ability to move; the eyes, tail
and backbone disappear; he
becomes a full fledged sea
squirt.
Now the little fellow slips
back instead of progressing.
Nature usually works to at
tain a higher degree of per
fection. Which Way, Unknown
Whether the sea squirts are
evolving into something much
more complex or are regress
ing is not now known for
sure. The possibilities are
present for a transition into
a little higher being. This little
prune like animal may be
some kind of a "missing link"
that Barnum thought ha had
several times but didn't.
But all this conjecture is
of no concern to the sea
squirts, they just foolishly

keep right on squirting water
at each other and at every

that is one reason why they i
have never aspired to be any-1
thing higher than little
squirts. !

I'm not interested

whims of fashion. In maga
zines, I skip the stuff about
new shoulders and old hem
lines. I save my eyesight for
news about books, inventions,
health and peace.
Abby is all mixed up about
what really matters. Of
course I'll visit her school. If
it embarrasses her, I'll be
sorry and disappointed at her
altitude.
The Council: In her person
al battle against regimenta
tion, this mother seems un
aware of the agonizing need
for conforming that assails
her adolescent daughter.
Of course she needn't goose
step. But there's no percent

dividuality via unkempt hair,
a sweaty complexion and
shapeless garments. There are
so many commendable way
to be "different" that Mrs. V.
would be wise and a better
mother of a teenager to cap
itulate a bit in the matter of
externals. Even 15 additional
minutes a day devoted to
grooming and fre s h e n i n g
would indicate a normal-not
a vain - pride in the picture
"ZS
Even then, of course, Abby
may be critical or, in Mrs. V.'a
opinion, hypercritical. But ap
preciating the pressures of the
period of life Abby is passing
through should prevent her
mother from feeling "disap-
poin,ed," and should evoke
when, through lack of money
lor parental cooperation, they
1 can't conform.
Some day Abby may ba
able to accept her mother's
sound counsel on lasting val
ues, on the joy of the intan
gibles. But right now being
"in good" with the crowd and
falling in line are the most
important drives in her life.
And since, evidently, it is a
wholesome crowd, Mrs. V.
should promote her adjust
ment to it.
During Open School Week,
Mrs. V. can dress carefully,
meet the other mothers and
teachers on the basis of their
shared interest in teenagers,
and then "be herself" on in
tellectual terms, if she wishes,
by serving on, say, a program
committee. There, her fresh
and original thoughts would
be cheered.
