Medford Student Discusses Article on Raising Japanese (Editor's note: Following is another article frpm Fred Lorish, son of Dr. and Mrs. Fred C. Lorish. 830 Minne sota, ave., Medford. Young Lorish is attending Keio university in Tokyo on an exchange scholarship. He will bt in Japan a year, studying the Japanese lan guage, philosophy and religion.) By FRED LORISH Since I arrived here, almost every day has brought forth a rash of articles in Tokyo's English press about Japanese customs. Many people, par ticularly foreigners, feel that the Japanese will insult, those coming for the Olympics un less some typically Japanese habits are changed. One article, though not di rectly concerned with this problem, particularly struck my eye. It was entitled "The True Basic Differences Be tween Western and Japanese Customs" written by a Dr. Alfred Babcock. As this article was but one in a series of five, it didn't present all Japanese customs. It dealt specifically with Kanji, the characters used to express the language, and with the rearing of children. I -would like to quote Dr. Babcock's statements: "Even worse . . . are some aspects of the Japanese method of rearing children. Of course, Japanese parents are loving and conscientious, but I think their usual method of rearing has serious faults. "Children generally are so pampered, spoiled, and wait ed on, like little daimyo (feud al lords) that self-reliance, love of wholesome adventure, and intellectual growth largely stifled in them. Act Like Slaves "From a Western point of view Japanese mothers act almost like slaves to their Utile sons. I am afraid one result of this is to nourish the male's illusion that he Is superior to the female. An other result of pampering small boys is that they are emotionally entirely unpre pared for the fierce competi tion and heavy responsibility they suddenly face at adoles cence. "Tills terrible shock to the adolescent too often instills in him, I think, a life-long inner Insecurity - resulting In excessive fear of the unex pected, hostility to change (even when obviously desira ble), and excessive fondness for ritualistic habit-governed behavior. "For the sake of happiness and progress I think that Japanese children ought to be encouraged to become self reliant, to face their own problems, and to think for themselves as early as pos sible. "I think Japanese children should be taught more a sense of responsibility and considcr ateness toward others, first of all towards their . mothers. This Is not, of course, the same blind obedience taught in feudal times. Has Read Books "They must be shown (pref erably be persuasion and rea soning) that they have duties toward others that they must fulfill, but also rights of their own that will be respected. Childhood is certainly the right time for basic education in good principles." IN THE MEDFORD SHOPPING CENTER MAIl O80E8S (while fabric only), odd 35 poiroet.

Strike a match from head to toe with QualiCraft, $ f 1 To me, it is apparent that Dr. Babcock has read a great many books while he has been in Japan, but has done little observing. I find it difficult to conceive any intellectual (and I am taking for granted that the term "Doctor" con notes an intellectual) coming to Japan and finding nothing of any 'worth in the Japanese way ol me. His comments covered not only Kanji and the rearing of children, but in other arti cles, tradition, the tea cere mony, schools of thought, and bonsai (the art of dwarfing trees) - not once did he have comment of praise; always criticism. Not that there are areas in need of criticism, for from a Western point of view Japan is a strange land in need of change. But one should follow that age-old Western maxim: "When in Rome, do as the Roman's do," and if one searches for the reasons - the ideals, the tradition - behind these actions, and tries to ap preciate them, he will most often find that they are most practical. Mr. Babcock seems to think Japan is still living in the feudal era of Japanese history (c.1400-1867). Yet such is not the case. Japan is presently torn between VWesterniia lion" and her traditions. These traditions, however, are not entirely feudalists, and this is where Dr. Babcock is in error. For Japan's tra ditional customs are those handed down over many cen turies; her history is some 2.000 years in length. The feudal period is but one short epoch of her historical past. I have met a great number of Japanese students of my age group, as well as a great number of adults and children. Granted, this number is but an insignificant fraction of the Japanese population, but I am under the impression that it is a far greater number than Dr. Babcock has come in con tact with. I have lived within six separate family groups, and among these people I have yet News About Servicemen IN EXERCISE ' Army Sgt. James A.

Nor have I found that because of parental care that these people are "emo tionally entirely unprepared for the fierce competition and heavy responsibility they sud denly face at adolescence." Of Particular Interest One comment particularly interested me, that being, ". . . intellectual growth (is) largely stifled in them (the Japanese)." Apparently Intellectual growth is unencumbered in the West, or so goes the in ference. I see the Western in tellect discovering D.any won derful things: the atomic bomb, the hydrogen ICBM's with atomic warheads. And then I see Japanese research - research of a far different type: merely to make the existing order a better one in which to live. I see the refinements the Japanese have made on many products to such a degree, that many of the products, particularly cameras, tape re corders, motorcycles, transis tor radios, to name but a few, are the finest in the world. They are approaching life and the existing order in a real istic way. GRADUATES Capt. Fredrick H. Faulkner, son of Mr. and Mrs. F. R. Faulkner, 603 Head rd..
