EMOTIONAL CONTROL
NEVER LASTS LONG.
It's hard for women to realize
this.
Most women develop the heart
at the expense OF the head.
They do not THINK their way
through life--they FEEL their way
through.
They live in their own emotions
they influence other people
through emotions. And they can
not understand why that influence
gradually loses its strength.
Never. has the emotional appeal
rated less than 1t does today. The
human race is learning the value
of control-of directed intelligence.
1t is beginning to realize that peo-
pie who fume and fret and sob and

Such persons do not get as

SECRETS OF
HEALTH
-Ry Dr. Louis e. Risch-

VNHE adolescent period Is one OF
j the most trying times for the
boy and girl. 1t usually begins at
about fourteen.
1t Ia then that the individual is
almost swamped by the thousands
OF impressions that crowd in upon
his mind. some from outside him.
self from the environment in which
he happens to be placed, and some
from within his own body and
mind. 81
Adolescence Az kind OF rebirth.
It Is the great viaduct Of life
that spans childhood and adult
hood.
The child. often for the first
time. realizes that he ID an in
dividuaI with instructive demands
that seem to carve fulfiIlment.
That is why he becomes so con-
fused, why he chafes under any
restraint that may be imposed
upon him.
At one and the same time his
physical being is changing, he
feels older and more self.assufed,
yet he still wants to cling to his
parents. to be petted and be
sympathized with. to be protected.
Usually adolescent, whether
masculine or feminine, feel that
they are misunderstood. They
believe no one has ever lived
who has been exactly as them
selves. They wonder what life is
all about.
In trying to get the adoles-
cents point of view and in help
ing him over his or her diff
culties. 1t Is well to ask oneself
the following questions:
Is excessive day dreaming be-
ing INDUCED In?
is there any plan of work or
coherence in work. or any definite
ambition? IL not, such a goal of
life and ambition should be estab-
lished.
Does the young man or woman
mix well with others? Is ,he
liked by his companions? 1t Is
always important TO try and pre-.
vent these boys and girls from
developing shut-in, seclnsive and
morose attitude. They should be
encouraged to go to dances,
mingle with the opposite sex, in.
dulge In athletics and competitive
sports.
AIlnusements are also valuable
aids in making the adolescent
express his emotions more freely.
Well-selected plays and motion
pictures, also books, are valuable
aids In this respect, the play or
whatever Is chosen that will tend
to counteract the particular type
Of emotional restraint that is
handicapping.
Then ask yourself whether the
adclescerlt is stubborn and con-
ceited, whether he takes advice
with d good will or whether he is
resentful and even revengeful.
Adolescents with these traits are
often unusually difficult to man
age and unusual tact is necessary.
Is self-depreciation present? 1t
is astonishing how many young
people, despite their outward show
OF sophistication and courage, are
still, underneath, most timid and
fearful. 1T Is often in adolescence
that the familiar inferiority feel
lngs develop.
The boys and girls moral stand.
ards should also be Investigated.
The value Of morality should be
taught, but care must be taken
not TO preach and sentimentalize.
Facts are all that need be re-
quired.
Never give up trying to help
an adolescent along even II you
