Simon is a serious young man
who works In one OF our big in

to act the Lordly Male. Which
makes him mad. Bright young
ladies who frequently get bigger

Simon Is all of a seethe. And

butes. Why can't she be sweet
and docile like her mother and
grandmother were? Why doesn't
she show a fitting respect for
Men? And so. on and on, through
many peevish pages.
In short, Simon wants the Mod.
ern Girl to treat him as Gramma
treated Gramp. But his reasoning
is all wrong. Simon thinks that
Gramma stood in awe of Gramp
because God made Man to be
head of the house and woman to
be the heel. And he Is sure that
Gramma appreciated this fact
and was duly respectful and
grateful for any little attentions.
A lovely picture-but the reality
was quite otherwise.
Gramma WAS docile-but not
for the reason Simon thinks.
Gramma was docile because she
had to be. II she wasn't docile
she didn't eat. Cramps superior
ity wasn't God made-it was
PURSE made. Gramp had the
money, held the jobs, got the
education and made the laws.
Because of this he could tell
Gramma where to head inland

had no more legal rights than a
cockroach. She had no job.

Next comes the period OF over.
idea lisation OF parents which be-
gins at about the age Of and
lasts until around s. During these
years the boy or girl places his
father and mother on a pedestal
and considers them about the most
perfect people in the world.
Following this is the period Of
criticism. 1t Is the forerunner of
adolescence. During these years

dren are beginning to break away
from the home in preparation for
the time when they will be able
to stand on their own feet unaided
and build homes of their own.
The adolescent period itself runs
from about 10 to IL or Is. 1t is
the great viaduct of life, spanning

Psychologists call these halts

A fixation is a hating or arrest

modify and condition to q large
extent the course of life.
These fixattons always occur
during childhood!
Let us suppose that during the
criticism stage-from approx

The child then grows up with 4
critical attitude toward all per-
sons OF authority in a manner
similar to that which he main
tanned toward those in authority
In his tender years-at that time
toward the parents.
The criticism stage Is normal
and natural and is preliminary
to the independence of the COM

Not all fixations, however. are
harmful.
Some are distinctly beneficial.
Among such benign fixations
may be mentioned moral con-
cepts, kindness, tenderness,
thoughtfulness-all engendered
and fixed in the mind when it
was young, impressionable and
plastic.
Fixations are common to us
all.
They are ribrocks in the foun-
dation of character.
AS the child grows, fixatlons
should be noted. If they be ben
eficial, they must be encouraged.
If they be harmful. they must
be neutralized and dissipated at
all costs.
Perhaps the most favorable
ground for the sprouting OF
harmful fixations is the very first
stage of development, UP to the
age of five.
When fixations have developed
during this period we find the
child continuing to be selfish,
self-centered, spoiled and queru-
lous. long after the first five

WHY WE Do WHAT WE Do
BY MEHRAN X. THOMSON.

We act like sheep because We are
sheep.
There is, of course, a great difference
between men and sheep, but this diff
ference is not in their mutual tendency
to initiate their fellows. All herding
animals have the social impulse called
gregariousness, best known as the herd
ing instinct.
We act like sheep because it Is the
easiest and safest thing to do for the
vast majority of people as we'll as sheep.
In the face of danger there is need for
cooperation. If the sheep did not fol-
low wise old ram they would scatter
about and fall an easy prey to the
wolves.
The average human sheep has not
the wisdom and the courage to strike
out for himself and go his own sweet
way. II he tried to be individualistic
he might land in Jail or become a
social outcast. There are certain social
customs and traditions which we must
all follow or lose caste.
1t is for the good of the majority
that we give up some o. our personal
liberty. Though we act like sheep, in
the end we have more freedom for our
selves. Suppose that in the case of
traffic laws you decide to cease being
sheep, stop at green lights and go
ahead at red ones. 1t requires very
