The picture of an old grandmother,

does not shock the small mind.
1t just seems part of things. at that

That is where so many groundlesS fears
are built up about children's reading.
The child mind has little experience,
and so is unable instantly to compare
one incident with another, as older peo-
pie do, and draw some sort of immediate
and maybe unconscious moral.
The narrative flow permits the young
person to absorb all sorts Of things that.
in themselves. and judged by older
minds, might seem inimical. It is only
when incidents occupy themselves too
much with the criminal type Of thing
that there is any real danger.
In the main, most literature, or even
comics, read by children offer little op-
portunity for harm. The older person.
if tending to worry. should keep in
mind that each small mind has q very
good censor Of its own. The bad is lost
in the flow of the good. Now. this
good" too, is judged by the child mind.

'JnexcusobIe' Industrial Accidents

Reading more like wartime casualty report
than a peacetime accident tabulation is the
summary of workers killed, crippled or less Seri-
ously injured in industry last year. President
Truman was right in describing as appalling"
the $4,000 deaths, the $4,000 permanent disable
ments and the 100000 injuries in industrial mis-
haps during 1949. 1t is even more appalling
when, as the President pointed out to the
National Conference on Industrial Safety it is
realized that many OF the accidents were "inex-
cusable"
Last year the conference expressed the hope
of reducing the annual accident rate in factories,
mines, stores and Offices by as much as so per
cent The safety advocates sought to accomplish
this reduction through cooperation of manage
ment and workers, gained by intensive educa-
tional programs. The educational activities were
carried on throughout the year and the CO.
operation of employers and employees was prom
ised on a broad front. But the tabulation of
accidents for the year showed only per cent
drop.
The larger industries in general have we'll
organized safety programs, with fine accident
prevention records An analysis of industrial
accident statistics has shown that about 10 per
cent of the deaths and injuries occur in smaller
Arms, especially those without organized safety
programs. 1t is In this field, therefore, that the

story of the beautiful old mirror.
"It was a magic mirror that changed
the self-willed daughter and the proSaic
father when they looked into it. She
came to her mothers side and kissed her;
and Merry Christmas, dear!' he said to
his wife. These were her best presents,
and the old mirror knew it. 1t was a

Landlords, Tenants and Kids

Every so often some one writes a
TRADE against landlords for not wanting
children in apartments and houses
Perhaps they don't know that tenants
with and without children don't want
them around either. For example:
rented an apartment to a couple with
two boys and years of age, and
they seemed well satisfied until 7
took another couple in with two chill
dren. and before they had even moved
in the father Of the two boys said,
IF you're going to take those other
children in We'll have to move, for I
don't want other children in with mine"
Another instance was when my g.
year-old grandson, who lives next door,
came to see me one day. proudly trying
to play tune on his mouth organ, and
a woman tenant, shouted at him to
"cut that out!" When asked her If
he was annoying her she said. ''Yes,
and let me give you a tip-keep that
boy out Of here If you want to keep good
roomers" When told her didn't con-
slider her good roomer and asked her to
move. she replied that she didn't have to.
However, her husband thought differ
emily, so they moved.
Another instance was when had a
quiet, elderly lady in a suite of rooms
on the first floor. and a couple moved
in with a dear little girl. The elderly
lady moved out. explaining that she
knew it was easier for her to find a
place than it would be for the little
family of three, so being that she
couldn't stand the noise occasioned by
the child overhead. she thought it best
to move.

Leopold and Belgian Unity

Despite their victory in Sundays general elec-
tion-the third such contest in Belgium within
the past year-the Social Christians may prove
to have been somewhat overoptimistic in pre-
dieting that they soon will be able to fulfill their
campaign pledge to restore King Leopold III
to the throne
Predominantly Roman Catholic, and repre-
sentative chiefly of the Flemish speaking Bel
gians-who are more conservative, more rural
and bit more populous than the country's cul-
turally different French-speaking Walloons-the
Social Christian Party, with roughly At per cent
of the popular vote, has won definite parla-
mentary majority. But though this may permit
it to form the first non-coalition cabinet in many
years. its edge is so narrow (even narrower than
the precarious one held by Britains Labor gov
ernment) that Leopold's return still seems to be
a matter of considerable doubt
This is so for the reason that the combined
opposition has such strength that the Social
Christians given few defections, might easily
be defeated on any move to restore the exied
king. The opposition which includes a small
fragment of Communists who have lost further
grounds made up chiefly of the Liberals and
Socialists, with the latter now being able to
count new gains as the second biggest party in
Belgium. These forces, deriving their support
principally from the urban and industrial areas
they favor-with the exception of the insignifi-
cant Red splinter-retaining the monarchy by
making Crown Prince Badouin the sovereign.
The Socialists, whose increased strength is
likely to make them extra-adamant in their posi-
ton, have been particularly emphatic in their
opposition to Leopold. Among other things, they
have threatened to organize general strikes if
an effort is made to call him back. Since they
apparently have sufficient power to translate
such threats into effective action, and since they
can make much of the argument that the Social
Christians won only minority of Sundays over
all popular vote and that therefore majority
of the Belgian people have turned thumbs down
on their exiled king the outlook is certainly not
favorable for his restoration, even though the
project might squeak through in the new Par
lament.
Whether justified or not "a good case can
be made for the idea that it is more emotional
than reasonably, feeling against Leopold still
seems to be rather deep and widespread in Bel
gium, particularly among the Walloons Although
a great many things can be said in his favor,
his surrender to the NaziS his failure to join
the wartime Belgian government in London and
his marriage to a commoner continue to be a
matter of serious controversy.
In the circumstances, especially because all
the major political parties are agreed on preserv-
ing the crown as a national unifyng force,
Leopold may yet find it advisable to abdicate
in favor of his son Badouin. As conscientious
king, he can hardly do otherwise If the welfare
of his country really calls for 1t.

Why More Rent Controls?

Granted that certain liberties should
be surrendered during an emergency
when it becomes necessary to the Sc
curity Of the State. is it too much to
expect that Congress, after five years
of peace and prosperity, with full en-
ployment and high wages. will free the
small owner of apartments from the
enforced subsidy to the renter? Why
should he alone be forced to forego the
market price of his "apartment-to-rent,'
while all other businessmen regained
their freedom to competitive market
years ago?
The owner of rental property was
thrifty during his earning years, and
built an apartment for rent so he might
have an income during his later years.
His taxes are higher: his living expenses
are higher; he must pay higher wages
to labor to keep his apartments renta-
BILE. And yet he must help bear the
renters cost of living-a lower rent
than the market value. This leaves little

Special programs for the backward

for the underprivileged children have
been advocated and practiced - for

about the bright child before?
"A considerable proportion Of the po-
tential abilities of gifted individuals is
at present lost to society through under
development, underuse or misuse" the
commission states.
The commission feels that it is ex-
tremely important to develop the ablest
people in this country for positions Of
leadership and influence. The public
schools and the colleges are said to be
failing in that task now.
Highly-gifte youths are identified as
those in the top per cent Of the total
population with respect to intellectual
ability. Gifted students are those In
the top 10 per cent.
Positions of influence in the United
States tend to go to those who have the
best education and not necessarily to
those who have the greatest potential
ability, the commission notes. This
leads to three harmful effects.
Social status tends to be perpetuated

Arlington School Costs

It has been stated that the cost Of the
schoolrooms being built today in Arling-
ton County is twice that of the rooms
built during the period 1940-48. In this
controversy over school costs, there are
certain salient points which should be
taken into consideration, excluding what
ever increase there may have been in
construction costs. These points are quail
ity of construction and the question OF
what constitutes a Schoolroom.
We are all aware of the fact that the
better the quality of construction the
higher the cost will be. The darlington
Elementary School was built in 1943.
During the past year it was necessary to
lay new pipes from the street in order
to have the toilets operate. Extensive re-
pairs to the plaster and bricks will be
made in order to allow doors to the street
to be used and to have the building
mouseproof. The floor coverings in the
halls are to be replaced. and numerous
other defects are scheduled to be cor
rected both for safety and comfort.
We were at war in 1943. It may we'll
have been due to this fact that the Fair
lington Elementary School could not have
been constructed better than it was.
The question of what constitutes
schoolroom is one of definition. Is a
school merely the aggregate Of number
of classrooms: that is. rooms sufficient to
seat an expected population of children?
Or is it classrooms plus cafeteria where
children may obtain hot lunch: Ii
brary; an all purpose room: room where
the teacher may lie down if she is sud-
denly taken i'll or where she may have
q conference with another teacher in
private, or where she might even eat her
lunch; clinic where the school doctor
or nurse may see child individually; a
rest room where a child may lie down
if it is necessary; and similar rooms
which tend to make the process of edu-
cation happier, more comfortable one
for the teacher and thus for the children?
We have come to realize that the latter
is desirable; that rooms in addition to
classrooms are necessary to make the
school habitable for the children and the
teachers as well.
The darlington Elementary School and
other elementary schools in Arlington
County built before 1948 have no cafe
terias and are completely lacking in those
rooms which would allow the bare essen
tials of comfort and privacy for the
