IDEAL FAMILY
 IS FOUR TOTS
BY BEVERLY PHILLIPS

Cambridge, Mass, Feb 27-(UP) Four children are the ideal fam fly for the average American cou- pie, according to Dr. Helene Deutsch whose latest book, "psy- chology of motherhood" soon will be published.
 Commenting today on Mrs. Frank lin D. Roosevelts disapproVal of "indiscriminately large families" the Austrian-born psychiatrist said that four chil dren were about as many as the average woman could rear well.
 Motherhood is the job with the longest hours and the one that takes the most out of woman" added Dr. Deutsch, who studied un- der freud.
 If the situation were determined just by biology, a woman's life would be fulfilled by having chil- dren one after another" she ex- plained. However, our culture has changed. Women owe. a duty to themselves as individuals and, of course, a greater duty to their chil- dren."
 She said that 1t is emotionally difficult for a mother of & large family to give maximum attention to all her children. On the other hand, it is bad, she said, to have just one child.
 T know" she added with smile flor I have only one child. If l were living my life over again, per- haps I would have had more ch1l- dren and less career"
 However, she said it was impos- sible to generalize about family size.
 Ut is vicious circle" she said. When a woman has fewer children, she becomes more interested in oth- CT problems. But then again, when she is more interested in these other problems, she is apt to have fewer children"
 In the case of the professional woman, Dr. Deutsch said, there al- ways is conflict between mater nal emotions and professional in- terests. AS she put it, woman has only so much psychic energy and If she expends it in her job, she will have less for her child.
 And the children in such cases know it. she said. They feel thy are being deprived. I've discovered it time and time again in my work"
 Dr. Deutsch, who is consultant for various groups of working women, believes that the war which has caused thousands of women to seek jobs also has strengthened the aver age womans desire to make home for a husband and family. The term Mikado is used by for eigners to designate the emperor of Japan, but not by the Japanese themselves. Their word is "Tenno."
