Dear Bill:
I was glad to get your letter OF
April Is which was mailed from
Smyrna, asking for my opinions on
a certain question. You stated
that the debate would be on Fri
day, April 12; evidently this was
an error. hope my information
reaches you in time for the debate.
I believe it is better to be self
confident than to be shy, for the
self-confdent boy or girl finds it
much easier to make friends. I'm
less we have friends, life is unin-
teresting and lonesome.
The self-confident boy or girl,
when he or she leaves scchool,
finds it easier to obtain a worth
while job. Generally, he or she
has a better opportunity of MAX
ing a success of the job than does
the very shy boy or girl. This is
true in those jobs which
require you to meet and impress
other people, such as running a
store or being a salesman, or a
Smyrna times., 1948-04-29

business executive.
The shy boy or girl misses many
good times as he or she is inclined
to stay at home rather than go to
interesting places and meet other
people.
IT is not good, however, to be
too confident, for many boys and
girls who are too confident tend to
show off,. none of us likes boys
or girls who are showoffs.
I trust that your class is enjoy
ing their Human Relations Glasses.
I shall be glad to visit your class
sometime if you send me an invi-
tation.
Yours sincerely,

Executive Director
Dear Bill:
Shyness and over-condence are
qualities exactly opposite in ma
ture.
The happy medium would be just
shy enough and with just enough
confidence.
OF the two traits, however, be-
lieve over-confdence is better than
shyness.
To be shy is to be retiring and
reserved in everything we under
take and in every situation we nd
If, then, we are shy
and never project ourselves or our
thoughts into the problem at hand
we will always suffer defeat in
every undertaking, because actual

Dear Miss Wallace:
did not receive your letter dat
ed April II until April 21, and my
reply to your question may be too
late for the debate in your class,
which was to be held on Friday,
April 16.
However, whether it is better to
be shy than to be confident per-
haps depends on the Interpretation
we place upon each of these two
words. Since you know that the
word "shy" in its various uses can
be construed as reserved, bashful,
and even distrustful and suspic-
ious, I think that except in very
rare cases a person who is shy is
really handicapped in many ways.
On the other hand, when you in
terpret the word confident" as
trustworthy, having self-reliance,
being undaunted, and assured be-
yond a doubt, I am of the opinion
that unless self-confidence is car
ried to the extreme where it could
be regarded as impudence or pre-
sumption, the person who is self
confident is far more likely to sue
ceed in this day of competition
than is the one who is shy.
Hoping that my answer to your
question will be helpful to you, I
am
Sincerely,
John j. Williams

Hints To Parents
By Priscilla Holton

Sometimes baby, feeling over his body, gets a pleasant feeling. Then he will try to get that feeling again.
 It does not matter whether the pleasant feeling comes from hay ing his fingers in his mouth o1 from touching any other part of his body. It is natural for him to want to do it again.
 Sometimes children get a pleas ant feeling by squeezing their thighs together, or by straddling stair rails or arms of chairs. They learn this by accident, and they may try it again.
 Do not get excited about these things. Keep the child's body clean See that his clothes are not too tight.
 Stop these habits by giving your child other pleasant things to do. He will forget the bad hab- it's.
 If he keeps on doing these things after you have tried to make him forget, ask the doctor to examine him. Perhaps there is something not quite right with the child's body. The doctor will make it right. Then you will be able to break the habit.
