New Problems With Te|evision

Child psychologists claim that alb the innate qualities,
of goodness or viciousness are instnled in the minds Of
children before the age of six. This means that in the
home the seeds of virtue are soWn and roots OF vice pre-
vented from spreading. While nature forces children to
cv for food, drink and shelter, she seems Indifferent
about truth and love and spiritual values. 1t is up to the
parents to formulate these matters in the lives of their
little ones. This is the fact simply because children are
not manufactured articles, but raw material to be chisel-
led or nodded and wrought into shape. They are not put
children copy the actions, mannerisms, tone of voice and
the attitudes of their parents. Harshness breeds harsh
ness, kindness begets kindness and purity engenders
purity. Whatever faults or virtues parents display, these
will be literally translated into their %childrens lives. The
situation used to be hard enough for the parents. But with
the coming of television new problems arise over which
parents may seem to have little control. Children were at
one time influenced mostly by their parents: now a CLAM
our world forms their everyday surroundings. On Chill
denis TV programs very little effort is given to instll the
ideal in their minds, that God is supreme, that they are
here for one purpose, to save their immortal souls, and
that the "body beautiful the programs glorify will re-
turn to dust. Because of the influence of TV, parents have
the obligation not only of supervising what the children
see, but an added obligation to offset the evil that ac-
companies television. More than all else, they must give
good example. You can talk to children most eloquent
ly give the best of advice, surround the home with all the
externals a Christian civilization can offer. You can send
them to the best of schools and have the hottest men and
women train them. But if the example of your own lives
proves sorely disappointing, you are failures as parents,
and your children become heirs to unhappiness in this
world and the next.

CIV gave the high Tech rating
a jolt yesterday by defeating the
