BY Angelo Potri

One of the parents. favorite re-
marks to adolescent sons and
daughters is that well-used, rath-
er meaningless phrase. When
was your age" What is the use?
Our boys and girls were born
into a world to which we are COM
parative strangers. More than
likely the father or mother who
says this in reproof drove horses
or walked to party in his day:
wrote notes instead of telephon-
ing; had a house with big rooms
in it for entertaining. Our chill
dren were born into a world of
machines. Is it odd that they
don't understand our fears con-
corning their use of them?
Our modern contrivances that
make speed the accustomed thing.
that bring distance to the end of
the fingers, life on the far side
of the earth into our living rooms,
are the ordinary matters of every
day life to young people. AS far
Evening star., 1950-04-23
This Is Their World

as they know this is the usual
way. They wonder at our fears
for them. our reluctance to allow
them to use these fast-moving
powerful tools Of society.
Our fears are grounded in ex-
perience. We know what effects
these machines can have on the
bodies and minds. on the charac-
ters. of those who use them
Knowing the inexperience of the
young people. we hesitate to al
low them free, full use of them
And that caution is we'll taken
We don't do enough teaching
in this field of experience. The
children pick up what knowledge
they can of these machines and
put it to use as soon as they can
When we try to prevent their use
of cars and radios they circum-
vent us and so doing often get
into trouble. We should start
early to teach children about the
speed machines. how they work
what they can do, their usefulness
their dangers and their care.
In the days of horses, children
were taught to take care of them
The boy always. often the girl,
was taught how to groom a horse
how to harness him, drive and
care for him. That was part of
their education toward usefulness
as well as happiness. OF course,
the horse was alive and often he
was loved member of the family
But a large part of the affection
felt for the horse rose out of the

enable the young people to live
wisely and happily in the world,
the only world they can know.
