the matter for a few days; then
he told his wife that if she was
going to train for grand opera,
She must have the best teacher
available. So he took her to a
prominent vocal instructor who,
after hearing her sing, told her
frankly she could never sing
grand opera; and that anyone who
would take her money to prepare
her for such a career, would be
swindling her.

TRADITION

TRADITION
Rexford Tugwell, arguing be-
fore the Herald-Tribune Radio
forum for a third term for presi-
dents of the United States, said
that opposition to the idea was
merely a tradition. He added that
he did not know what a tradition
was.
Had Mr.. Tugwell consulted
Webster's New International die
tionary, he would have learned
that one definition of tradition
is:
"Any belief, custom, way of
life, etc, which has its roots in
ones family or racial past; an in
herited culture, attitude, or the
like; sometimes a long established
convention.

CARES FOR YOUTH: Mrs.
Juanita Williams, who has opened
the Works Progress Administra-
ton Nursery school in the Brooks
apartment building at Third and
Church streets, comments on the
fact that our schools and colleges
take care Of our children after
they are six years old and that
other organizations. such as the
Scouts serve to round out the lives
of boys and girls, making possible
the fullest living of which these
individuals are capable. "But what
of the pre-school child?" she asks.
Until recent years this has
been the neglected age" she COM
ments. Especially is this true of
babies born into homes where the
finances are so limited that it is
almost impossible to provide pro-
per nourishment, much less the
complete care needed by these
tots. Yet those who study chill
dren have learned that every child
during the pre-school years lays
the basis for all its future living.
So far-reaching is the effect of
these early years that to deprive
a child of proper care before it is
six is to handicap it immeasurably
for years to come. Many of the
maladjusted adults of today were
neglected tots of yesterday.

to provide for underprivileged
two to four-year-old children the
opportunities for development that
