LETTER OF INTEREST.

The following letter will be of in
terest to the many friends of the
Fjeldal family, and others who have
known of the effort made by Mr.. and
Mrs. Fjeldal to educate their son,
Harold. who has been deaf mute
since birth. For number of years
Harold attended a special school in
Seattle, going back and forth on the
Virginia. All efforts to have him
placed in the state school for the deaf
were unavailing.
Last fall Prof. R. E. Stafford wrote
to the head of the school and after
a delay of days, and a second letter
Of inquiry, was informed that the
school was full. Thoroughly eXasper-
ated Mr.. Stafford wrote to Gov. Hart
ley, telling him that room could al
ways be found for a criminal at Walla

Walla; that an erring boy could al
ways be placed in one of the correc-
tional institutions; but that apparently
a boy seeking an education could be
barred because of lack of room. In
less than a week Prof. Stafford re-
ceived word from the school that an
other boy had withdrawn and they
could take Harold.
Last week his parents received the
following letter, showing the interest
Harold is taking. 1t is surprisingly
like letter that any fifteen-year old
boy, with all of his faculties, would
write:

fun. The girls were the first to
parade and then the boys marched
around. Some of the costumes were
clever, some were funny and a few
were very comical. The dance of the
Jack-o-lanterns was very solemn.
Then there were some interesting
Halloween games and finally handball
with goblin for ball was played.
Everyone had fine time.
The boys played football with Van
couver high school last Wednesday.
The game was a walk-away for the
deaf boys. They won by the score of
80 to 2. Tell Marion about it. I am
sorry for Lester and Fred. I cannot
think of anything to write to them.
Please write a letter to me soon. I

IMPORTANT TO ALL OF US.

Efforts to stabilize silver at q fair
price are of Importance to the public.
At present silver is selling at profit
less prices. The result is cessation in
mining activity, with consequent UNI
employment, decreased buying power
and loss Of taxes to the state. The
restoration of silver, when accomplish
ed, will be a public service, not only
to this country, but to the entire
world.

Child FIOgging In
Federal Prisons Scored
EIr. Wickersham finds that
the Federal Government is
guilty Of Scandalous conduct to-
ward children who run afoul of
it's courts. He objects to hav-
ing these children dealt with
on the same plane as adult
offenders-and yet that is the
way our central government
does it.
He pays a tribute to the
greater intelligence and the
greater humanity and morality
of the local courts in dealing
with the children, and thinks
that mere children who violate
some Federal law should be
turned over to the local courts,
where they can have the bene-
fit of more intelligent treat
ment.
But it appears from his re
port that in Federal prisons
these children are flogged.
This is a ScandalouS state OF
affairs, and since it seems to
have gone on a long while, one
wonders why the national ad-
ministration, whose prison in
spectors could not have been
ignorant of it, has done nothing
about it.
The Government Of the
United States can afford to
be decent-to children.

The Washington times., 1931-07-13

The worst thing about grow
ing old, is that everyone tries
to be nice to you. Which is
enough to turn even the finest
human into a general nuisance.
You've seen it happening.
Fine men and women who have
been good scouts all their lives.
Had the Usual failings. Of
course, fibbed, boasted, pouted,
1oafed, started rows, made fools
of themselves-but, as long as
they were twenty, thirty or
forty, folks treated them
normally. Criticized and con-
tradicted them. Razzed them.
Told them where to head in.
Put up a battle when they
got too rsmbunctious. All Of
which kept them sensible,
simple and regular.
Then along came the Fatal
Fiftles and everyone else de-
cided they were Getting DID,.
and "age must be respected"
So the criticism and the razzing
stopped. There were no more
battles. No matter what they
said. no matter how unfair or
disagreeable or silly or lazy
they became. everyone agreed
with thAna. and excused them.
Flattered them. Gave them the
best seat: Shielded them from
worry and unpleasantness.
Then what happened? Ex-
actly what would have hap
pened if they had received such
unwholesome consideration and
exemption at twenty, thirty or
forty: THEY BECAME PAM
PERED PESTS. so selfish,
opinionated and generally, Or
merry that everyone secretly
prayed they'd die pronto.
And, as a matter Of fact, they
actually did begin to die as
soon as this old-age coddling
started. For by that coddling
they were cut off from the
things that keep men alive and
interested in life-from compe-
tition and constructive criticism
and all the rude, stimulating
human adventure.

All Of which is both pltltul

AS for this respect old age
tradition-phooey!
Age should be respected only
when it deserves respect. "A
man does not merit respect
merely because he has reacneo
his sixtieth birthday. That
birthday represents no nerolc

fact, he doesn't like being oO'
He would, infinitely have pre-
ferred staying 20. And, chances
are, he's never had a new
thought, nor committed q note
worthy act, since he was 70.
Then why respect him because
he has accumulated forty years
of peeve, prejudice, hardened
arteries and fallen arches?
Personally, my constant
prayer is that people won't be
nice to me when I grow OLD.
For I've noticed that nothing
demoralizeS me more than q
lot of admiration, sympathy
and politeness. Immediately
my ego swells up like a Zeppelin
and I want to hog the whole
hangar. If anyone makes things
sweet and easy for me, I try
to get by with murder. Ana
generally succeed. ,
Don't respect old age. Respect
is no favor. It is often a tragic
handicap. If you really love
age and wish to serve it, give 1t
a chance to stay young. Treat
it as you'd treat an active equal.
