Unlimited government control OIL all

needed to meet the situation
Metal Price-Fixing Desired.
An administration measure giving the
government power to fix the price of
basic materials. including steel and
iron. is greatly desired in many quar-
ters. il is said. even though such bill
failed of passage at the last session.
Steel. iron and copper prices were fixed
in d voluntary agreement by the war

cials now contend this agreement does
not go far enough. since under it the
government is given no control over the
prices of manufactured products.
Power will possibly be sought of Con-
gress by leaders to control prices not
only on raw products, but on the fin
ished products in the hands of dealers.

We all know that somewhere be- tween boyhood and manhood whipping must be, and is stopped. Scientists not only have given us a reason. but have indicated about when in life this difference is made. Great men who have made a life time study of the matter, tell us that mans nature is divided into three parts-yital, mental, emo- tional; that we are born almost wholly animal, and education con- sists, primarily, in developing the mental and emontional sides of our nature.

girls grow older, they are whipped less and less until, after awhile. whipping ceases entirely. They have outgrown their animal nature; their mental and emotional side have become stronger than the vi- tai. The little boy and girl being almost all vital, or animal. required many whippings; and the big boy and girl the man and the woman are appealed to through reason.
 But parents are slow to recog- nize this growth and change in their children. l have had parents of sixteen and eighteen year old boys tell me that they are sending their boys to school; if they do not behave, thrash them. l cannot help wondering what such a parent would advise should he himself be the one coming to school. be- lieVe he would say, Show me where have done wrong and 1 will do all possible to correct the mis- take and it's influence; if l do not, then put me out of the school. In dealing out punishment to our boys and girls, let us recognize their mental growth. Mental punishment can be made many times more severe than any whip ping that can be given On the other hand, whipping can arouse the worst there is in a man; it makes him either a criminal or slave.
 Take an interest in your boy. Talk to him. Reason with him. If he is shrewd, if he recognizes the point in your argument, if he out-matches you-do not thrash him. When he needs punishment, give it through mental discomfort in way that will cause him to recognize what he has been doing and correct himself. Make him self-reiiabie and manly.
