A sentence worth FASTING in the
proverbial hat and remembering is:
The troublers are also the troubled.
Those six words explain lot in
life. They help give perspective to
the irritations of the day.
In the school room the children
hard to manage who cause most OF
the trouble are the ones who are
troubled themselves-who are in
some sort of i'll health, who have
poor home environment, who are IN
happy.
In large families where one child

or more highly strung nerves.
Ill-health of some sort is the Sc

of childhood

One very valuable service that
broadcasting is rendering is the
education of the general public to
the appreciation of fine music.
Recitals of the great artists at
tract only the unsteady inclined,
or the more cultured element OF
the public. Radio programs, how
ever. bring fine music into every
mans home, and there are no pro-
hibitive prices or social difficulties
to prevent even the most humble
from enjoying them.
The influence of this popularlza-
ton of the best in music cannot
be overestimated. Musical appre-
citation is known to be closely re-
lated to the intellectual as wei!
as the artistic development OF
nation. Any influence that brings.
about better musical appreciation
contributes to better cultural
standing.
Broadcasting stations are con-
stantly striving TO improve their
musical programs. Whenever pos
sible the recitals of the most prom
inent artists are broadcast. There
is constant improvement toward
the broadcasting of the very best
music by the very best performers.
Thus popular appreciation OF
music is being developed hand IN
hand with the development of radio
nrograms. AS radio programs are
bertered the public taste becomes
more discriminating and this DIS
eliminating taste is met by stu
better programs.
Even jazz is feeling the influence
of the radio programs, the very
hest in music. A few years ago
almost any kind of jazz band
was tolerated article of the big
metropolitan centers. Today ra-
do fans everywhere can tune in to
the finest dance orchestras of the
big cities, and as the radio au'
dience becomes accustomed to the
finer type of jazz it demands bet
ter music from its local dance or
chestras.

Do you think that girl of eight
cen, who is not engaged should go
with only one man? A few nights
ago a young man whom 1 just met
asked me to go steady with him. i
told my parents of this and the ap-
proved, saying that people would
talk if 7 go out with different young
men. I'm not keen about the idea OF
giving up all my other boy friends
50 we have decided to leave it to your
Judgment. Dorothy.
In this particular instance l can
not agree with your parents IN the
view they take of the matter. There
is safety in numbers for the young
girl.
/ also believe it very unfair to ask
Young girl of eighteen to give up
all her young boy friends for one
who has yet to prove his desirablllty
Every girl should try to know as
many men as she can, because 1T
gives her a wider range from which
to select a husband when she is ready
to judge, by comparison, which IS the
best and which one she really pre-
fers.
And very often young man who
seems attractive at first doesn't wear
well. When you know the young
man better you may find he is mean
or stingy or disagreeable and hard to
get along with. If you have given
up your other beaux for him you may
find it difficult to form new friend
