visualize the black robe Of the justice
drAped over his shoulders.
He chooses his words with care. He
presents his case in a straightforward
and meticulous fashion.
Radio and its problems have long in
terested him, but until q short while
ago he never bothered to make a Sc
rious study Of this subject. His friend,
Senator Dill of Washington, is one of
the Senate's recognized authorities on
radio and heretofore King has been
content to let him lead the way.
With the advent of television his
curiosity became aroused. He decided
to do q little personal investigating of
the whole subject. Now he has some
very definite ideas and plans to work
for their adoption.
He has become convinced that the
existing radio law must be thoroughly
studied and brought up to date by
Congress at It's next session. But it's
the television angle which particularly
interests him.
"Television is so new and so i'm
portant," says the Senator, "that it
staggerS the imagination. Few are
aware Of its potentialities. For that
reason We must become acquainted
with It,"
The question of censorship of tele-
vision is being considered by him But
as to that phase he admits that he
must do more investigating.

OUR CHILDREN

Skipping.


1.-THE teacher wants to skip Sammie.
Shall let her do it?"
why does the teacher want to skip
him?"
HE is smart and the class is very
crowded and she thinks he could go
ahead"
us the teacher going to prepare him
for the skipping? Will she teach him
the work Of the grade he skips? No?
Then he cannot skip. Every step in
the course of study Is to be carefully
taken. Some need more attention than
others. but the whole course Is neces-
sary If the child Is to do well. No,
unless he does the work Of the grade
he skips let him stay where he Is. 1t
is hard for q child to keep up with a
class which has q good knowledge Of
the previous grades work which he
lacks"
But If skip him he saves a year"
What is he going to do with the
do with it9 What do you mean,
do with it,"
"You say he is going to save year.
Save it from what? For what? What
does he do with this year he saves?"
He gets out of school earlier. And
goes to work sooner"
Maybe. Many o child has skipped
grades in school only to find himself
stranded by the time he hoped to enter
high school. He Is outside Of every
thing Nobody wants him in the
group. He can't play, he can't work,
ne can't live with the children who
are years older than he in body and
mind and experiences"
After all, living Is matter OF
4-I.o
time to gather experiences. 1t takes
time to grow a body. 1t takes more
time to grow a mind. Birthdays are
not good measuring marks when 1t
comes to evaluating power. Power Is
what counts and power comes by
growth and discipline and achieve
ment
Reasonable care should be taken to
see that a child Is working to his full
capacity, that he goes forward at his
own rate of speed. But reasonable
care should be taken to see that ne
does not exceed his own rate OF speed.
He has several sides to be consid-
cred. His birthdays are to be counted.
His intelligence is to be rated. His
speed of growth must be noted. The
development of his body must be well
considered. His power to get along
with his schoolmates must be weighed.
All Of the child must be regarded with
loving, farseeing eyes, before he Is
speeded through school. Certainly he
is not to be speeded to tighten the
teaching load
When a child can make two grades
instead Of one, or one and a half in
stead of one, he should do so, but at
the same time, his course should be
enriched beyond the bare bones OF
facts. Rather than give him short,
thin course, give him a longer, broader,
richer one, so that he enters high
school and college with a fine back
ground full Of cultural values, full OF
rich meaning. Better spend a time in
making growth rich and certain than
in marking time while grcwthd catches
up to vain ambition.

doors most OF the Gay, the
mothers troubles are by no
4 means ended. She faces the
problem of what to do about
the neighborhood children, who are
usually a continual problem to her.
When the children spent much Of their
time in the house, she could manage to
encourage only those visitors who were
suitable companions. With the children
running wild, she has less and less in
fluence on the gang"
In every neighborhood there is always
some one child who is anathema to the
mothers. 1t may be boy or girl,
but in either case, the children are
ruled by that iron hand. The boss"
possesses himself of any child's toys and
brooks no interference. He uses terrible
language. which all the other children
Immediately make their own. In fact,
that child is always the reason for
every other child's bad manners, mis-
behavior and disobedience. He Is the
one rotten apple that spoils the sack Of
good ones.
AS long as mothers can find such a
convenient alibi, they need never look
too closely at their own faulty manage
ment. What would mothers do without
some child in the neighborhood to
blame for the sins Of their own children?

/ want to know Immediately: Why
isn't your child a good influence on
him? If your own child is surrounded
by all the right influences If your
understanding, your willingness to talk
frankly to the child, and your daily
example can be so easily overthrown by
one child, of what value are they?
You see the absurdity Of it yourself.
There is, in my opinion, only one
factor in a neighborhood situation that
makes the least bit Of difference, and
that factor is easily controlled. Are
their own age? That Is the important,
the very important thing. Nothing else
matters very much. What they learn
from each other can easily be counter
acted by the influence of the home
It is bad for a child to be the COM
panion of an Older child. The older
child needs the stimulus, the social de-
velopment that is possible only with
children his own age. The younger
child needs to practice being leader as
well as follower, to think for himself.
When ages are too divergent, the devel-
opment of both the older child and
If there is a child who obviously
exerts an unwholesome influence on a
neighborhood, do not make the mistake
Of ostracising the child and thus driving
him into dependency and a sense Of
inferiority.
Encourage children Of like ages to
play together. Then welcome into your
home and under your good influence the
child who is unruly or mismanaged or
neglected at home. His influence is
nullif1ed, and you have not been guilty
