Would Continue Plan

AS the children get older. the
safety education should be kept
up. In the high school children
should be taught that driving a
car between the ages of 16 and
Is is a privilege and not a
right.
I think that all boys and girls
should learn how to operate an
automobile. 1t is part of their
education. They should BIZ
taught, however, not in a hit OF
miss fashion but by a compe
tent instructor so that they will
know not only how to operate
car but the various rules anC
regulations of the road.
If we could manage to teach
all the young people of today
tie need for careful driving, we
would begin to see a diminutior
in the horrible tool of death
taken by the motor car. If we
can just say to the Young people
Of today that smart driving i!
careful driving and that a care
full driver is a good citizen, VIZ
shall have accomplished some
thing.

Fears for Future

There are times when a youth
looks beyond the diploma with ap-
prehension. He sees so many Of his
friends joblesS and in despair Of
ever getting job. The real danger
of such a situation is that there
may be developed in this country
large number of dispirited youths
who are Just drifting along with no
definite goal. They fling back at
adults the cry:
''Why train me for Job that
cannot GET?
It is a deSpairing cry and one
that we cannot forget or ignore.
Certainly these young people
ought to be encouraged to i'm
prove themselves by developing
their talents rather than permit
them to deteriorate through idle
ness, with all it's consequences to
the individual and to the com.
munity.
Greater and better facilities for
vocational guidance, as well as
definite establishment of voca-
tional schools on a high level of
activity should always be a goal
for the coming wear,

BY MRS, HENRY GRATTAN
DOYLE
President Of the Board Of Education

President Of the Board of Education
As parent as we'll as a lay
member of an educational or
ganization, l think that it is
the duty Of all Of us who have
children in the schools and all
of us who are interested in the
coming generation to keep
abreast of the changes in edu-
cation. l think that laymen
should not attempt to set
themselves up as educational
experts or educational critics,
but I do think that the point
of view of the layman should
be interesting to the educa-
tional experts.
What is that we want educa-
ton to do? There are three gen.
eral detectives for education. The
first is that of fitting the child
as an individual for his future
life: physically, morally, spiritual
ly and educationally. The schools
cannot do all of that. It would
not be possible nor proper to ex-
pect them to do so. The home
and the church both must con-
tribute to the development Of the
child.
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1937-04-24
Safety Taught

A somewhat new development
in education but one that Is high
ly desirable is that of safety edu-
cation in the schools.
Our children are living in an
age of fast automobiles. The
sooner they learn both the art Of
being a pedestrian in a motor
infested world and the art of know
ing how to drive a car, the better
off both they and the community
in which they live will be.
Teachers in the lower grades,
by many devices, teach the child
rem safety rules in traffic. They
are early taught the stop and go
signals and the absolute necessity
of obeying of police at the cross
ings. Schoolboy patrols used in
many Of our large cities are help
full in keeping down traffic deaths
among children.
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1937-04-24
Civic Place

The second main objective in
education is to prepare the child
to take his place in the community,
and the third is that Of preparing
the child for his life's work.
The school should put in a
child'S hands the necessary tools
by which he can earn living.
This may mean definite vocational
work or it may mean such training
and such accumulation Of knowl.
edge as will help him eventually
to earn living. But the school
should certinly not be remote from
the work-a-day world and should
do constructive work in actually
preparing children to earn a living.
It seems to me that it Is the
right of every taxpayer to expect
a child in his schooling to be pre-.
pared for the next step ahead. The
elementary school should prepare
the child for the Junior high
school, the junior high school for
the senior high, school, and the
senior high school for whatever
work the child chooses Immediately
ahead: college, a job, or business
training.

Home Is Center

I am not one Of those who say
that the home has entirely broken
down. Homes, to be sure, are not
the stable center of a child's ac-
tivity that they used to be, but
conditions have changed so much
that it is not possible for the
home to be the center of all ac-
tivity. The radio, the inexpensive
entertainment Of the motion pic
ture, and the many recreational
facilities outside the home have a
tendency to take away that old
fashioned sitting around the din
ing room table at night, with the
kerosene lamp in the middle and
the books for study all about.
But the home still can be and
certainly should be the main stabil'
izer in the life of a child. I think
that women particularly should
cling to the idea that home is still
the most vital force in the life OF
a child and should do all to make
it so.

and refused all efforts Of friends
to comfort her.
She collapsed in the courtroom
last night when she was found
guilty by a Federal Jury of IL

Mrs. Norton was acquitted on a
second count of conspiracy to ex-
tort money from the actor who,
she claimed, wooed, won and
deserted her in England IS years
ago.

Earlier, Judge George Cosgrove
dismissed both charges against
Jack L. Smith, Los Angeles private
detective and co-defendant of the
woman, who asserted that the
screen star, as Frank Billings,
loved her and left her in England.
Mrs. Norton faces a sentence
of five years Imprisonment or
$1,000 fine, or both.
Her attorney was permitted to
file an application for probation,
hearing on which was set for
May 3.
The jury, instructed by Judge
CoSgrove that there had been no
evidence that Gable ever had
been in England or ever had
known Mrs. Norton, deliberated
only two hours.
How Can They"
AS the jurors filed into the
courtroom to enact the last hectic
scene in the strange melodrama
of the trial, Mrs. Norton leaned
forward and gripped the edge of
the counsel table. Her knuckles
whitened and a flush spread over
her pudgy features.
