New Device Detects Water Impurities
Philadelphia -0IPD- Water
that goes into complex me
chanisms linked to aerospace
efforts must be as pure as the
distilled aqua used in car bat
teries. A detective-style de
vice finds impurities that are
only a tiny fraction of one
part in one million.
The instrument, which de
termines the exact purity of
water under test, . works on
the principle of the resistance
of water to electricity and
measures the electrical con
ductance of the sample. The
purer the water, the more it
resists the passage of a current.

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."

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

to meet anyone lacking "self-
reliance, love of wholesome
adventure, and intellectual
growth." 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.
