King Alexander Moves to Halt

BELGRADE, Jugoslavia, January 10.

was issued by Gen. Peter Zivkovitch.
premier, on behalf of King Alexander.
At the same time it was learned that
the police had raided. searched and
sealed the premises of the Metal In
dustries Club in Belgrade.
A zagreb newspaper said that one
of the first undertakings of the new
government would be to organize the
national finances so as to make the
best use of national resources and that
everything would be done to induce
foreign capital to enter the country.
The new finance minister, DR.. Stanka
Shverlyuga, is president of the Zagreb
Bourse and vice president of the Union
of Jugoslav Banks.
Severity Unpopular.
A neutral diplomat arriving in
Bucharest, Rumania, from Belgrade
and Zagreb, said that the severity of
the new regime in Jugoslavia had made
disagreeable impression in all
quarters. No section of the popula-
ton, however, had openly protested
against the extra legal status of the
government.
Institution of strict legal procedure
with no right of appeal from sentences
based on alleged infractions of the laws
for the defense of the realm, caused
a painful impression in Jugoslavia and
he believed that this was bound to have
a similar effect throughout Europe.
Many Ignorant of Changes.
The diplomat said the majority Of
Jugoslavia's population of 100000,
were still ignorant of the profound
political changes. Non-appearance OF
newspapers during the Christmas holi-
days of the Orthodox Church and q
strict censorship combined to keep the
populace as a whole uniformed.
King Alexander's intentions were so
concealed that the changes came like
a bomb shell to everybody except Gen.
Zivkovitch, and Gen. Stefan Hadjitch,
who was appointed minister of war.
These two alone were in the confidence
of the King.

house. They may be puritanical and
ashamed of life processes and evasive or
lying to children about sex relations
and sex information.
These are only few of the ways in
which parents may be responsible, all
unknowingly, for the misbehavior OF
their children. The clinic must deal
not only with the misbehaving child,
but also with the misbehaving mother
and father, brother and sister and
sometimes with the grandparents. It
is the problem of family relationships
with which they are faced rather than
an individual child problem.
Consultation CenterS Developed.
Closely related to the work of the
clinic is the consultation center for
parents, which is just beginning to be
developed. The consultation center is
for the purpose of giving individual
help to parents on their problems. It
Is not for the parent with child who
is an extreme behavior problem and
who should be taken to a clinic. The
parent consultant attempts only to dis
cuSS with the normal everyday man or
woman problems which they may ELL
counter in their LOB" of being parents.
The nursery school as it has devel-
oped in the United States is another
agency for parent education. 1t is I'M
portant that the school exert its inflU-
ence on the home and the parents of
the children under its care. 1t is essen
tial that there be a consistent regime
and policy in the total life of a little
child. This can be accomplished only
II parents and teachers have common
obiectives and similar techniques.
The regime of the nursery school,
physical and mental examinations,
group activities, meal hours, sleeping
periods, outdoor playtime are all used
as opportunities for educating parents.
Mothers are required to keep home
records, to observe in the nursery
school. to cooperate in home regime.
to confer regularly with the staff and
IN some cases to join study group.
Comprehensive Survey Made.
Those who are especially interested
in the parent education movement will
find a comprehensive survey in a re-
cent book, "Pre-School and Parental
Education" published by the National
Society for the Study of Education. 1t
contains discussion of the history of
the movement, underlying principles.

ers for the field.
The National Council of Parent Edu-
cation. which is composed of the lead
ing agencies developing programs in
this field will furnish information on
request. 1t is located at Al East Forty
second street.
Parents of today and tomorrow
should be greatly encouraged. for
science is gradually coming to their
aid not only in the accumulation Of
more knowledge about children. but
also in suggestions as to the best use

That part of French opinion which
advocates preserving French treaty
rights in the Sarre until they expire In
1885 does not look to any permanent
possession. Nor can one escape the
conviction that along with the military
argument, which has a certain value,
goes the appreciation of the fact that
the right to retain the present advan-
tages until 1885 constitutes a valuable
bargaining point.
Unhappily for BRAND. he will con-
duct the present negotiations with the
Germans as member of a cabinet
which Is Nationalist in its complexion
and depends upon the votes both Of the
military and the economic groups for
its existence. If he seems to make un-
due concessions to the Germans, he is
doomed, and Tardieu will crash with
him. On the other hand, If he asks
too high price, the German resistance
will be stiff and German resentment
great.
On the German side, too, the exist
ing cabinet Is weakly constituted. With
Stresemann gone, there is no one with
great prestige to enforce acceptance Of
necessary concessions. The great ma :
jority of Germans believe Germany is
entitled to complete evacuation at once
and without further payments either In
the German cabinet might easily 20
crashing down If it seemed too ready
to yield to French demands.
Harm Must Result.
Meantime the fact remains that any
conceivable separation of the two re-
g1ons must work almost incalculable
harm to both. Industrial Alsace-
Lorraine will lose cheap coal, and the
Sarre will, on its side, lose the only
real market 1t can have for its coal
production.
Recalling all that has been written
recently about the project of a United
States of Europe, Americans may well
follow with more than passing interest
the progress of these negotiations over
the Sarre. For here within a ridicul.
ously narrow compass are regions eco
nomically bound to each other, depend
ing upon each other not merely for
prosperity but for mere existence, but
for political reasons threatened with
division. If business cannot prevail
over politics in this corner Of Europe,
smaller in area and population than
Massachusetts,, in which the Sarre,
Alsace and Lorraine are included, then
1t is manifest that Brands prospectus
Of unity for the whole Continent is de-
void Of reality.

Associate Professor OF Education, Columbia
tn HE movement for the education
of parents in the United States
is not new. In the 1905 and
l. '90s, when child study had its
great impetus under G. Stanley
Hall and the German psychologists,
mothers wanted to learn more about
their children. Most of these women
had background of education which
made it possible for them to study
with some profit the conclusions OF
these early investigators. Indeed, some
were ambitious enough to attempt keep
ing records of their own children under
the direction of Hall and other psy-
biologists.
In spite of these beginnings and the
consistent effort of such organizations
as the Child Study Association and the
PIT. Associa ton, it has only been In
the last five or six years that any real
strides have been made in thinking
through the philosophy underlying the
education of parents and the problems
which must be approached.
Today the education of parents has
a significant place in several large uni
versities, notably Columbia, Minnesota,
Iowa, California, and Toronto and Nc
Gill in Canada. Programs for parent
education are being promoted by a
large number of agencies, both national
and local. Among the national organi-
cations are the Child Study Associa-
ton, the National Congress of Parents
and Teachers and the American Asso-
ciation of University Women. .
In local communities one finds social
agencies. religious groups, health agen-
cies, colleges, public schools, Juvenile
Courts and clinics sponsoring and pro-
noting educational work for parents.
In Philadelphia such agencies have
joined together under one co-ordinat-
ing parents council.
Parents Call for Education.
In universities and colleges men and
women are learning to study parents
need, to lead parents in discussion
groups, to reorganiZe scientific infor-
nation, so that it may be used by
parents. Several of these universities
now are offering diplomas in parent
education for advanced work, and a
few doctorate dissertations have been
published in the field.
But why educate parents? Primarily
because the parents want to be edu-
Gated. At least the mothers do. There
are today many more mothers who
wish help in the problems they face as
mothers than there are people trained
to consult with them on these prob
lens.
Social Conditions Changed.
This demand of parents for help in
their lob" is probably due in large
part to the changing social conditions
of the last two decades. When genera
ton after generation of children is
born In a rather simple environment
very similar to the environment of the
preceding generation there are rela-
lively few difhcult problems for parents
to face.
The methods used by grandmother in
rearing her children can be used pretty
effectively by granddaughters in rearing
theirs. The life and customs of the pre-
ceding generation have changed so lit
tie that parents may feel adjusted and
secure in their understanding of the
life Of their children.

Toxic Truants Number

they want to see something Of the world.
Also. the home atmosphere of many is

Parents Held to Blame
of the

and that which Is written for teachers
or specialists, but which contains ex-
cellent content for parents. There has
been a good deal written on some as
poets, such as proper foods for chill
dren; how to get children to eat GER
tain foods; sleep: anger and temper
tantrums; fears; affection and jealousy;
sex education; play and toys; discipline
and obedience.
Literature Available.
This literature has been developed in
response to demands of parents, for
these seem to be the kinds of problems
upon which parents want help. The
University of Toronto and the Univer-
sity of Minnesota both have published
books which deal with these and SINH
lar problems Leaflets and pamphlets
may be had from the United States
Children's Bureau and the American
Association of University Women, WASH
ington, and the Child Study Association,
New York.
However, the literature which deals
with family relationships, with the in
teractions between mother and father,
mother and children, father and chill
dren, children and children. is not so
prolific. Such relationships are ex-
tremely subtle and difficult to analyze.
Few studies have been made and few
authors have attempted to write ABOUT
these problems. Lillian Gilbreth has
discussed it from one point of view In
Living with Our Children" and Ernest
Groves has made real contribution IN
his several books.
1t is difficult for parents to choose
among ali that Is being written that
which is best and most trustworthy.
Parents are in danger of exploitation u
they do not use their best Judgment.
Several agencies, such as the unlVersl-
ties and national organizations before
mentioned, publish lists OF approved
books for parents, which may help In
guiding them.
Study Groups Popular.
Probably the most popular method al
present used in the education OF par
entS is the study group. For the most
part these groups have been composed
of mothers, though groups OF fathers
and sometimes groups OF fathers and
mothers together have been organized.
They meet at frequent intervals to dis
cusS problems and develop principles
of family adjustment.
Sometimes the leader is specialist,
but more often a parent whose expert
ence and training in other groups has
equipped her to take leadership. Upon
the eficiency of the leader and the
active participation of the members in
study and discussion depends the sue
cess of the group.
Child guidance clinics, clinics for be-
havior problems, clinics for school
children and clinics in connection with
Juvenile Courts are also engaged in edu-
eating parents. Often when child is
brought to the clinic because of some
behavior problem it is found that the
difficulty lies in the home.

Mr.. Barnes quickly sensed the or
ganization needed to meet the crisis
and make effective the United States
Grain Corporation. Soon there was
devolved the plan whereunder there
went forward steady flow of grain to
the allies. Since Napoleon had wisely
told the embattled world long before
that IAN army fights on Its belly" Mr.
Barnes, in thus effectuating the flow
of wheat, contributed inestimably to the
eventual victory Of the allies.
So this first meeting between Herbert
Hoover and Julius H. Barnes was for
tuitous thing. It threw together, under
stress of wars emergencies, two men
whom nature seemed to have endowed
with almost the same qualities and tenn
peramentS in both big and little traits.
Like President Hoover, Mr.. Barnes
gets his greatest stimulation when en-
gagged in the solution of some pressing
problem. Neither has a distracting
hobby, although Mr.. Hoover likes fish,
ing and the building of little rock dams
at his Summer camp on the Raptdan
River, and Mr.. Barnes takes a horse
back ride almost every day there Is a
horse handy, and has an occasional
early morning swim in the pool of an
athletic club. Mr. Barnes asserts he
owns the best riding horse in the coun-
try.

knickers and spend day on the golf

But when changes take place which
greatly affect the lives and living con-

we'll be concerned about what to do
with their children. They no longer
can understand easily the lives which
their children are leading. Such have
been the social conditions of the last
20 years.
Less than 20 years ago a girl gradu-

mobiles, airplanes, radios, prohibition,

few of the things that have helped to
change our lives these last two decades.
Parents might find it helpful to make
a list Of social conditions under which
they lived when children-size of city,
nearest neighbors number in family,
income of family, recreation school,
church. excursions, toys, size of home,
location Of home, play space room,
servants, household responsibilities. etc.
After this broad inventory of social
and family conditions is made, then
in second column let parents check
every factor which is identical or nearly
SO In the life Of their children and add
any additional items in the modern
social environment, but not present in
the older. This would give an excel
lent starting place for discussing the
problems which parents are facing.
More Scientific Information at Hand.
A second reason for the development
of the parent education movement is
that there has been accumulated dur
ing the last decade some information
which might be of much help to par
ents. Investigations in nutrition, physi-
cal growth, learning, behavior prob
lens and the education of young chill
dren have brought together some
knowledge that is valuable and scien-
tif1c. Furthermore, the experiences of
educators, psychologists, physicians,
psychiatrists, nutritionists, in their
work with children may be helpful to
parents, even though they have not
reached the stage Of scientific evalua-
ton
The opportunities for parents to edu-
cate themselves for their "job" are
manifold today. One of the easy ways
of access to information is through
literature. During the last five years
great deal of material has been pub
lished-books, pamphlets, magazines
and articles.

Central Station Urged
to Aid Radio Reception

over most of the Free State anybody
who expects to listen in to the excellent
program of the state broadcasting sta
ton requires a tube set. Only those
residing in the immediate vicinity of
Dublin and Cork can get results on a
crystal apparatus. And as the stations
are operated by the state and taxpayers
everywhere have to help to pay for
them there is a demand for greater
facilities for the Door man. Tube sets
are coStlier in the Free State Cnan
anywhere else. They are not manu-
factured here and there is q one-third
import duty on all sets and parts. Many
farmers and villagers could buy crystal
sets at fifth Of the cost of the cheap
est tube set. The head of the post ONCE
has urged the government to erect a
high-power station at Athlone, in the
exact center of Ireland, from which
crystal reception would be possible for
more than half the population. The
project has long been mooted and the
executive council Is expected to approve
1t and authorize the erection Of the big
station at once.
