Tomorrow S Grown-Ups
by DOUGLAS A. THOM, MD.
Director Of the Habit Clinic for Child Gvidones Boston, Moss

1t takes only little imagination to
visualize Tommy in the future - an
unhappy, disgruntled, friendless adult,
moving from one job to another,
never making any lasting contacts,
always deluding himself with the
conviction Il am right and the world
is wrong"
The background of Tommy's atti
tude had it's beginning very early in
life. 1t was then that his parents
should have trained him to face frankly
the simple difficulties of his everyday
life, and to accept his sdiSappolntments.
Later when he did not get along with
playmates or shine as he wanted to at
school, they should have refused to
accept his excuses but. instead. should
have helped him to discover the rea-
sons for his failures and to be Coura
geous about them.
1t is natural for children to seek
plausible excuses for all sorts of things
- for not doing the chores, for getting
home late from school, for picking on
other children or for doing poor work
at school. And unfortunately parents
find it easier to accept the excuses
than to find out what really is the
matter and then to make the child
understand that he has entirely ignored
the true reasons for his trouble.
AS far as it is feasible, children
should be permitted to suffer the
penalties which selfshness, careless
ness, indifference, and laziness i'm
pose. This is the way - and the only
way - in which child will learn that
consideration for others, honest effort.
and the assuming of responsibility Will
make him a happier individual. 1t is
the way he will acquire the habits and
traits that will be advantageous to
him now in childhood and later.

polite than formerly but Mr.. Waters
did not notice IT. He was too filled
with spirit of beatltude over his new
found paradise to notice anything.
After his box had been restored to
its proper place and he had left the
bank. the attendant remarked to the
Cerberus: See that old goofer? He is
the guy that takes all the Wall Street
papers every day and does nothing
else. Can you imagine the sockful of
Jack he must have? Sits there clipping
coupons for two solid hours. John D.
only takes an hour and half.
Mr.. Waters was not one to abuse a
privilege. He confined his visits to the
bank to once or twice week. What
Mrs. Waters thought about these ab-
sences is not known. And, if the truth
were known, it would not have mat
tered to Mr. Waters. He was happy.
However, these visits to the vault,
coupled to his habit of buying all the
financial sheets, we're having an effect
in quarters little suspected by MIR.
Waters. Had he in the least suspected,
he would have been literally dunn
founded.
What the attendant had conhded
to Cerberus, CerberuS had eventually
told to an executive. This executive
told a director. The director, who had
heard through his wife of Mr.. Waters
supposed interest in matters financial,
felt it his duty to mention it at board
meeting. From then on Mr.. Waters
became an object of especial interest
at the bank. That any man could
visit his safe vault on an average of
six to eight times month and spend
an hour or so each time cutting cou-
pons elevated him to the rank of Nogul.
To them, Mr.. Waters air of detach
ment was attributed to the natural
aloofness of the very rich. His very
lack of ostentation further enhanced
this opinion. Now, what interested
the various minions, executives, Off
cials and directors was: Q) Where did
Mr.. Waters deposit these coupons!
(2) How could they obtain this ac-
count? This second question was of
great urgency, as just at this time the
bank needed depositors, large ones
especially. That Mr.. Waters must be
veritable Croesus, all agreed.

THIS WEEK

One morning the president of the
bank himself greeted MIR Waters and
endeavored to hold him i'll converSa-
ton concerning the money market
Mr.. Waters was courteous, but eva
sive What were the bourSeS of the
world to him, compared to a design
of ring of elephants each holding
another's tail in his trunk?
At last one and only one solution
was reached. There was a vacant seat
on the board of directors. Maybe MIR.
Waters would accept it. For, even If
they could not get his account. man
like MIR. Waters would, in times such
as these, render yeoman S service.
Eventually Mr.. Waters received
letter bearing the superscriptlon Of the
Bank on the envelope. Expecting
blotter, he was somewhat startled to
read in carefully wOrded and tactfully
Couched phrases, an invitation to sit
with the captains of finance.
Had Mr.. Waters not shown this
letter to his wife our story could have
stopped here. OF his own volition he
never would have accepted. But in his
amazement he showed the letter to
Mrs. Waters. For a moment even this
capable lady was nonplussed. She was
especially mystlfed by the references
1, 10 H., u
known of these before Slowly and
purposefully, she dragged the story bit
by bit from Mr. Waters. Then, being
a person of acumen and discernment,
she grasped the situation in its en-
tirety.
We'll, Homer" she said at last,
cutting out those doohickeys did
have its use after all But" she added
grimly, IF it ever comes out - we
leave Whitefelds."
That evening the Whltehelds' Cour-
ier announced: Mr. Homer l.. Waters,
once active in financial and banking
circles and a prominent citizen of
Whitehelds. has been elected to fill a
vacant seat on the board of directors

useful purpose IN meeting
the problems of adult life.
But childhood is the period when the
cornerstone of character is laid. And
there is no lesson more important for
a child than to learn to face life frankly.
Yet we, as parents, are inclined to pro-
tect our child from recognizing his
failures or accepting his disappolnt-
ments. And SO we prevent HIM from
prohting by the experiences that
would otherwise teach him to meet
life.
Tommy, even at the age of four,
showed an inclination to feel that he
was not getting square deal. He com
planned that his sister always got the
largest piece of cake, that she had
three pieces of candy while he had
only two. There was always an argu-
ment about which of the children had
received the most valuable toy. And
Tommy invariably felt that he had
been cheated.
At eight, Tommy developed habit
of coming in from play to tell his
mother that the others were picking on
him or that they did not want to play
with him. He complained that they
made fun of his clothes and SAID that
bic father WAS no good
Now that he is fourteen, Tommy IS
definitely out of step, not only with his
contemporaries but with his teachers
and others Although he is good
student and stands we'll in his classes,
the boy is unhappy. In his judgment,
any students who get better marks
than he does are the teachers pets.
When he failed to make the football
team, he said it was because the coach
had it in for him.

NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
MEDDLING WITH THE MAILS

Senator Bridges of New Hampshire, has pub
lishcd i'm pamphlet form his speech before the sem
ate on interference with the mails. Mr.. Bridgcs's
efforts to have the senate investigate thoroughly
were squclchcd but this does not change the facts.
To this day nobody knows what the president
thought about the mcddling with mails
Mr. Bridges quotes the acting postmaster at
Youngstown, Ohio, as having testified that he had
booteggcd certain articles of parcel post through
the c. l. o. pckets. The postmaster at Niles, Ohio,
testified that he went on a truck to deliver mail.
The vehicle was stopped by steel cable stretched
across the gates of the mill and by cars parked
solidly across the driveway and several hundred
men were assembled bearing ordinary clubs and
baseball bats. Discretion being the better part of
vaor he withheld packages from delivery.
There is more evidence to the same effect 1t
was given before 4 senate committee. 1t was said
that the post office department had refused to &C
cent irregular" mail Things classed as irregular
while pickctS are interfering through the mails
regularly If a Charcstonan should order case
of fish from Gloucester, Mass, it would come by
parcel post and there would be no questions asked.
But Il case Of fish was irregular during the time
pickcts were meddling with mail deliveries
1t is well to remind the public. If Grover Clevc-
land had been in the White House, the mails would
have gone through. There is no question of that.
Pickcts about strikcbound steel mills interfered
with mail deliveries because they believed them
selves to be immune from prosecution. If any per
son has been punished for the awleSsness the post
office department has kept silent about it. The
movement Of the mails should be above politics.

GOOD RADIANCE

When three hard-boled killers walked out OF a
sporting goods store in Bangor, Maine, Tuesday
morning-onc of the killers was charged with the
murder Of two officers and dcfcnseleSS clcrk-thcy
came face to face with a squad Of federal agents
armed to the hilt and in mood for frivolity. AT
the end of a gun battle lasting five minutes two
criminals were dead one was wounded and cap
tured. Thus ended the crime career of the Brady
gang. Thus the man who boosted ne would make
the bloody exploits of Dillinger seem trivial by
contrast paid in kind.
Federal agents are to be praised for their dill
gence, for their patience in following trail Of
robbers and thieves, men who stole and paid for
protection across half continent. The agents
gave no quarter None was deserved. Probably
the killers could have spared their lives had they
surrendered and chosen either the gallows or AL
catraz.
More examples of this nature should drum into
potential criminals, potential killers the impossible
ity of avoiding for long the relentless pursuit of
trained men who know how to trap criminals II
there is a faulty section of the machinery society
has built as protection against gang killers and
thieves it is in the failure of the agents of So
ciety to apprehend offenders speedily. Bill Payne,
charged with murder and robbery and kidnapping
and prison breaking in North Carolina, rides some
where on the highways, as yet unmoeSted. Too
bad North Carolina cannot borrow the squad that
bagged the Brady gang to assist the State In dis

GREEN AND THE SIT-DOWN

In the current issue of Liberty William Green
speaks wisely and emphatically against the policy
of the sit-down strike.
His statement is simple and terse, virtual sum-
mary by way of repetition of isolated statements
to the same effect which he has been in the habit
of making since the inception of this innovation
designed to force industrial management to accede
to labors demands
Mr.. Green declares that this policy has had much
to do with the alienation of formerly friendly pub
lie sentiment for the cause of labor and that its
practice in both the strike movements in steel and
automobiles hurled back sympathetic flow of pub
lie opinion for the workers.
OF course Mr. Green is manfestly trying to out
law his old enemy John L. Lewis, and to fasten
the responsibility upon him of estranging Ameri-
can sentiment from the labor crusade.
Even so, viewed purely as an abstract issue, the
st-down strike merits the condemnation thus pour
ed upon it by the head of the American Federation
of Labor.
1t was and is un-American, illegal and vioatve
of the simplest principles of the democratic faith.
