ANOTHER CHANCE (6

'I'll be the DOCTOR" little Donald
said as they planned the drai inatiza
tion. I'm going to be one anyway
he added.
Are you% asked the teacher. &c
thought you wanted to be AM engi
neer."
81 do, but Daddy wants me to b.
doctor. So 1 suppose I'll have tt
be one," and the little fellow $igheC
as if he realized his responsibility.
Perhaps if you tell your father
about wanting to be an enginear, he
will give up his plan," suggested Il the
teacher.
The child shook his head. "Dh hddJ
wanted to be a doctor and he
couldn't because of his eyes. As Esoor
as I was born he said, Here is the
chap who is going to be the doctor
in our family So I am going tC
medical school when I grow up.'i
Poor little fellow! Never to h ave
the thrill of choosing his own pro
fession! Always to be reminded OF
what is in store for him!
So far as his desire to be an en-
gineer is concerned, that has little
to do with the case, for tomorrow he
may decide to be a carpenter ahd
the very next day pirate, so fulc-
tuating are five-years old. 1t would
be well for him, however, to live
these things in his mind, else how Is
he ever to know what vocation he
really wishes to follow?
The thing which really matters i
that Donald's father is trying to ra
live his life in that of his son. HaF
ing our children do the things We
were never able to accomplish seems
to be the great parental pastime.
1t is quite possible that Donald
may wish to be a doctor. In that
case all will be we'll and good. But
what if he should choose to be an
aviator, a dentist, or a musician?
No doubt he will be a doctor,
though, for he will hear over and
over again that he is to be one when
he grows up. He will hear it so much
that he may come to think the pro-
fession is of his own choosing. But
if Donald has an inner urge toward
something else, he will be an unhap-
py, bewildered, unsuccessful physi-
clan.
Perhaps many a parent who has
been unable to do a thing he wanted
very much to do, whether from lack
of ability or opportunity, reasons
that the next best is to have his
child do it. In that way he can, at
least nartially, take the credit.
In some cases, too, the parents
may have come to realization of
the hopelessness of their efforts, so
far as their own careers are con-
cerned, and so have transferred their
hopes and ambitions to their chill
dren, believing they have better
chance to succeed.
Most of us would like another
chance at life but it is hardly fair to
take it at the expense of our chill
dren.
eff we do not have the Kinder
garten, the playground or the street
becomes most undesirable Substi-
tute. The number and nature of 1e-
form schools vary inversely as the
Kindergarten" w. Morenouse,
President, Drake University, Iowa.
Do the little children of your com
munity go to kindergarten? If there
is no class for them to attend, write
to the National Kindergarten Asso-
citation, 8 West Fortieth Street, New
York, for information and advice on
this subject.

AIR CRASH INJURIES
TINY PLANES PILOT
A. O. Younger of This City
Has Broken Leg After Plunge
Near Rockville Pike.

A. o. Younger. Washington agent for
the Heath "Parasol' planes, is at Gar
field Hospital with a broken leg, cuts
on the head and other injuries, as a
result of an air crash near Congress
sional Airport, on the Rockville pike,
where he was keeping his plane, early
yesterday afternoon. YoungerS condi-
ton is not considered serious, hospital
officials said.
Others Gave Warning.
According to Maj Harry NJ Horton,
president of Congressional Airport, he
and other flyers about the field warned
Younger against going into the air with
his tiny machine yesterday morning.
I've never seen him fly. and I did
not know he could fly. He does not
have pilots license. nor is his machine
licensed" Maj. Horton said. He in
sisted upon going up, however. SO we
gave him the best instructions we knew
for getting up and landing, and of he
went"
Those around the field at the time
Younger took off say he barely cleared
large clump of trees at the far end
of the Congressional Airport runway.
He circled around for a while with the
machine apparently under control, then
swung down the field with the wind,
got past and wheeled the ship for a
landing into the wind. AS the plane
wheeled, 1t seemingly lost speed and
rolled over and fell into nearby field.
Owned BY Younger.
Maj. Horton emphasized that the
plane is the property of Younger and
has no connection with Congressional
Airport. It has been stored there, Maj
Horton said, for some time.
The plane itself has been flown be-
fore by an authorized test pilot.
