The teachers looked at each other
and said no more. What can one do
when a mother talks like that? Here
was a young girl of 20 who was grad
uating from college She had been in
vited to go TO the home of one of her
chums and her mother had answered
the invitation with a polite negative.
The teachers had ventured to ask about
it, They knew that this girl had been
very friendly with the young man OF
this house They knew that the invi-
tation had been extended at the re-
quest of the boy They knew that this
mother was unconscious OF the boys eX-
istence although the girl had associated
with him for four years. Now what
should they do? Tell her? Keep still?
What?
Whatever happened the mother was
in a bad place She was certain sure
that she had her daughters confidence
and she had not had it for years be-
cause whenever the girl had Vcntured
an opinion of her own it had been met
with tears and Dleadings and threats
and the awful phrase. you are so un-
grateful" 1t had been easier to go
silently along her own wav than to
argue with her mother who would
never allow that she had a grain of
right on her side.
It is not an easy matter to keep
child's confidence through the years of
adolescence One has to be very self
sacrificing to get back to the plane of
