Youth, today. is not 80 much in

lived. and not by some defunct au-
thority of some ancient tradition or
creed. This uncompromising refusal
of children to continue blindfolded
on straight and narrow paths where
our ancestors were content to be de-
feated should be encouraged and
should be guided.
A child guidance clinic jointly as
ISOLATED with the school system aids
the child early in the kindergarten
to understand others and to be un-
derstood. II more often assists adults
than it does the child.
Home life in America may be on
the wane, but there is still much OF
family life which cannot be shared
