Modern
Marriage
Fathers Spoil
Children by Too
Little Attention
By Dr.. Paul Popenoe

"Mon is being blamed for too
many things. If a child is spoiled.
it's always charged to nom. Why
not make dad take a dose of the
same medicine? Isn't he respon-
sible for just as many spoiled brats
as his wife? For every mama's
boy who is a pathetic failure,
isn't there also papa's boy-or
maybe a papa's girl-who is an
equally pitiable figure, now and in
later life, because given too much
attention by her father?"
No, Mrs. Med. there isn't. I'm
not claiming any superior virtue
for the male sex. Perhaps the
main reason they don't spoil more
children is that they aren't around
the house enough. For the most
part it is nom, not dad. who Is
too possessive with the children,
just as it Is nom, not dad, who,
creates the in-law difficulties.
Father more frequently damages
his children by too little attention.
and not too much. Sometimes,
when an adolescent girl becomes
boy-crazy, it is due (partly, at
least) to the fact that she has not
had enough association with her
own father. She is hungry for
masculine companionship.
Every father should budget his
time to allow a period of play with
his children, either before or after
the evening meal. I have often
stressed to a son the Importance
of association with his father, but
for another reason 1t is important
that daughter have opportunity
to associate with her father, in
stead Of being pushed off on
mother. II she Is to marry sue
ceSsfully. she must learn to like
men. One way to, do this is to
learn that men like her. She gets
her start on this line by learning
that her father likes her.
Unfortunately. there are half
million girls in North America who
have no fathers. Their mothers
have gone through the divorce
court and deprived the children
Of a normal homeless frequently,
the father himself has taken the
initiative in destroying the home.
Every one recognizes that the boy
from a fatherless home needs a
chance to be with other men, but
so does the girl. Her mother
should make every attempt to see
that the girl has normal associa-
tions, not merely with boys of her
own age, but with older men of
various ages. In that way she will
learn what the other sex is like,
and be a successful partner and
homemaker for one of them, later.
Yes, fathers often spoil their
children, but by giving them too
little attention.

3-Month-OId Sister
Of Pickens Boy Being
Treated in Hospital

ever since we have had chill
dren, we've feared polio. Now this
is it. It's horrible"
Charles Pickens, ST., father of
7-year-old Charles, jr., who died
early yesterday in Children's Hos
pital of bulbar polio, thus summed
up the feelings of parents in

This time it was 3-month-old
Kathleen, their youngest. Her
case also had been diagnosed as
polio.
"We do not know yet whether
it is bulbar. We pray that it's
not" said Mr.. Pickens, an ac-
countant for a Washington elec-
Crlcal concern.
Kathleen was reported in fairly
good" condition this morning at
Children's Hospital.
Two. other children, Judith, 6,
and David, 2, thus far have been
spared the disease. They have
been spared, too, the news that
their big brother is dead.
I'VE do not want to upset
them," Mr.. Pickens said.
He recalled that Charles became
i'll Sunday night at their home,
3109Lanier place, Hyattsville, Md.
Mr.. Pickens said Charles had not
done anything out Of the ordinary
last week end.
Gust the usual play of chill
dren," he added.
AS the boys condition became
worse. he was admitted to Chill
dren's Hospital Tuesday morning.
After Charles death, the family
decided to send little Kathleen
to the hospital for a spinal tap,
since she had been fretting for
several days.
Word came at noon that it
was polio, too." Mr.. Pickens said.
1t was at that point that he
told Of the gnawing fear he and
his wife have had whenever the
