StrearI.ring

Streamlining is based on the law
of aerodynamics. discovery of which
reversed preconceived ideas OF air
resistance to solids. Formerly 1t
was believed that a sharp-pointed
object would pass more rapidly
through air. Aerodynamics has
demonstrated that blunt-nosed
object with a sharp end pointing
backward creates less air resist
ance. When sharp joint cleaves
the air, air currents are thrust out
and Immediately return to drag at
the moving objects from behind. A
blunt nose shoves the air aside gen.
tly and allows it to stream along
the sides of the moving object and
resume its course at the rear with
out any drag. :

Our Children
COMPETITION
BY ANGELO PAIR
o. Bell syndIcate.-wNU Service.

TT rs an excellent human quality,
this ambition to excel. It is the
stimulus of growth. Few of US can
run our best without pacemaker
and goal with a prize in view.
Teachers found this out long ago
and made the most of it.
"Look at this, John Smith. Five
right out Of ten. Fifty per cent.
Harold, you got hundred. That's
a mark to be proud of. If l were
you, John Smith, I wouldn't let
Harold show me up like that. May
be he is smarter than you are?"
-"Finished already, Caroline? Al
ways the first. Gertrude, aren't you
ever going to catch up to your
friend? She's leaving you far be-
hind. Don't let her beat you like
that"
Such prodding stirs the competi-
tive instinct to action.
Ambition has been stirred but 1t
was Of that kind Of ambition wor-
thy men have died. 1t is an un-
worthy ambition. It rested on per-
sonal grudging, fear, and finally
hatred. Bitter feeling is the GER
tain result of such competition.
The children take sides, the parents
take sides and soon the community
is involved in wasteful struggle
to place their entry first. Victory
costs too much.
Competition is essential to sturdy
ambition but the competition should
be centered upon ones self. It is
much harder to get a child to
compete with his self Of yesterday
than It is to stir him to fight against
his classmate. But when we con-
slider the aim of this competition
there can be no question about the
sort we want to foster. We will
put a soft pedal on any competition
that pits one child against another,
one class against another. The only
growth the child is concerned In is
his own. It should be that growth
he completes against and for.
Let each child have a plotting
sheet. Teach him how to make a
curve of his progress in the sub
jects that you think he needs to
cultivate. Spur his interest on with
all your might but keep 1t on that
red line he is tracing on the sheet.
He will be just as thrilled to see It
take on heights as ever he could
be to see himself downing a class
mate.
Even then we have to be on
guard against the wrong sort Of
competition. One child will have q
higher peak than another, and more
Of them but If you have made the
meaning of the chart plain no harm
can be done.
