two-day convention in Washington No

is to help women through scholarships

Even in busy election times Repre-
sentative Ruth Bryan Owen has taken
time to send out plea for the chill
dren Of the Southern coal fields, par
tiCularly those of Kentucky and East
ern Tennessee, to keep them from
further starving and sickness. AS she
puts it, she is poignantly aware of the
needs of most all communities, but de-
clares the condition of these children
is not due to industrial disorders and
they should not be allowed to suffer.
She has enlisted hundreds of her
friends in the Save the Children Fund
and is working to interest hundreds of
others. In her usual honest, business
like way, Representative Owen does not
frank her letters Of appeal, but places
a Scent stamp on them. The Save
the Children Fund has placed trained
workers to establish and supervise
health centers for the alienation of
hunger and illness.

TRAFFIC DEATHS INCREASE

Traffic fatalities in Washing
ton are increasing at an alarm
ing rate and something win have
to be done about it, Traffic Di-
rector William A. Van Duzer
said il his report on traffic con-
ditions for the month of No
vember.
Last month 13 persons were
killed in traffic accidents, accord
ing to the report just released.
This compared with six in Novern-
Der last year and an average of
seven for each November for the
past nine years. All the victims
of November fatalities were pedes-
trians except one.
Coroner's juries exonerated all
The Washington times., 1932-12-09

drivers in these cases except one
who left the scene and later con-
fessed. One pedestrian was killed
at a circle, but was walking
against q signal and was not at
the croSSwalk.
Van Duzer said q study Of the
large number Of November fatali-
ties indicates drivers are not the
only persons who need to be edu-
Gated on highway safety. Pedes-
trians should cross at intersec-
tions where they have the legal
right of way, he said. He added:
"WOOl gathering pedestrians
are becoming as serious q mem
ace on the streets as wool
gathering drivers"

Correcting Children.

DR.. Rudolph s. Fried, director OF
Bailey Hall, at Katonah, N. Y. is
standing up for children. He is will
ing to defend them against their un-
sympathetic, fault finding parents. He
thinks children are corrected too often
and that, since nothing else in the
world is perfect, children ought not to
be expected to be perfect.
IF parents find it necessary to cor
rect children" he says, they should
correct them only five or six times q
day, even though they make fifty mis-
takes. Leave the other forty-four mis-
takes that need correction until an
other day"
It may be wondered whether even
the most trying children run up a score
of fifty errors in a day. but, of course,
there may be prodigies who have ex-
ceptional ability along that line. In
such q case the annual total would be
1880 mistakes, Of which 2,190 would
be corrected. That would leave 16,06c
unmentioned, unadjusted and presum-
ably unadjustable. The children sc
treated would have parental direction
through twelve per cent Of their i'm.
maturity. They would accumulate q
heavy handicap Of ineficiency ant
social Embellishments through the re-
manning eighty-eight per cent. But DR.

WASHINGTON OBSERVATIONS
BY FREDERIC WILLIAM VILE.

which President" Roosevelt will sur
round himself. A good many changes
in the Hoover cabinet are foreshadowed
if the President succeeds himself. Sec
retary Stimson's voluntary return to
law practice is definitely mooted. Sec
retary Wilbur'S leave from the presi-
dency of Stanford University terminates
at the end of this year. Attorney Gen.
eral Mitchell is slated for a Supreme
Court justiceship at the first opportu-
nifty. One or two Hoover cabinet men,
including personages now in the fore
front Of the Republican campaign, are
said to contemplate resignation, no
matter what happens on election day,
because of the necessity to look after
their badly crimped private fortunes.
At an open forum in a Washington
club the other night a speaker was
asked What is the difference between
the tall promises made by Hoover in
1928 and the ones now being made by
ROOSEVELT" Quoth the speaker: We'll,
in 1928 the Republicans promised pros
perity by the regular mails, and in 1882
the Democrats are promising 1t by
special delivery"
It's understood that the Republican
National Committee has been bringing
to bear all the pressure it could to cajole
Alice Roosevelt Longworth to the micro
phone for a coast-to-coast pro-Hoover
broadcast. Princess Alice remains radio
shy She's probably the only prominent
person in the country who hasn't yet
snccumbed to the air The Speakers
widow having at length overcome her
inhibitions about writing for publication,
Chairman Sanders and Publicity Di-
rector Allen have not yet abandoned
hope Of leading Alice" to the mike"
and making her talk She herself thinks
she hasn't radio voice.

parently is to be created for him. a
sort Of combination budget oficer and
general administrative economizer. At
first blush it seemed bit odd that Gov.
Roosevelt should contemplate the ad-
dition of q new department to the ad-
ministrative organization, entailing a
considerable appropriation. even in the
interest Of economy. Then came the
thought that If the Governor plans to
invite his predecessor at Albany to sit
at the cabinet table-if he should be
elected-he might well enough give him
an already established post. If he
would be an effective budgetary officer
he would be even more effective as
Secretary CT the Treasury. A Roose-
welt cabinet including McAdoo and
Smith would be decidedly interesting.
But, as the Governor says, all this
is highly premature" Two weeks
from Wednesday morning. if the re-
turns justify, will be time enough to
start guessing about cabinet selections.
That old adage about the counting of
chickens applies, even, and it might be
said especially, in political campaigns.

Fried seems to believe that such i'm
perfection Is nothing to be alarmed
about.
Granted that there are parents who
nag their offspring, it still may be
doubted that "sparing the rod and spoil
ing the child" is sound doctrine when
applied to the generality Of children.
Suppose brave young Junior rises at
six am. and before noon has been cor
rected for washing his shoes in the
bathtub, throwing his breakfast against
the ceiling, sharpening a lead pencil
with Daddys razor. carving his initials
on the lid Of the grand piano, dis
emboweling the cat and building bon
fire under the back stoop. He has had
all the correction he requires for one
day. But during the afternoon he tells
the parson to go to the opposite of
heaven, Grams mama's best purse and
its contents down the drain, rubs tar
into the parlor carpet, turns the garden
hose into the laundry, blackens the eye
of small Cwendolyn next door, tosses
half brick through school room win
dow and commits forty-four other mis-
demeanors. What are his parents to
do? DR.. Fried says, Nothing" Junior
is not perfect-never will be per-
feet. 1t is useless to attempt to guide
him more than twelve per cent of the
way. 1t is violation of his conception
Of freedom; it cramps his development.
Perhaps Junior is destined to be Boil
shevik. Any attempt to interfere with
his prediction is an intolerable in
trusion,
Without pleading for a rule OF iron,
it may be suggested that numerous
imperfections Of present day parents
may be traced to considerable altera-
ton Of pedagogical procedure at the
time when those parents were young
Juniors grandfathers and grandmothers
were products Of sterner system. His
more immediate pycgenitors were the
first beneficiaries of the educational
reformers, led by Charles Dickens, who
banished nearly all discipline in their
endeavor to correct abuses of school
regimen. He represents the full flower
of liberalism. and DR.. Fried is satisfied
Children are not necessarily little
angels. Neither are they little devils
But they do have a tendency to run
wild, and they do require constant
protection against their destructive
and their undeveloped capacity to live
and let live.
