thing for youngsters if today's
parents did three things. DR.. Farm
ham states, that must be done
before greater harmony exists be-
tween themselves and their off,
spring.
/. They will have to learn to
understand the personalities OF
their youngsters better.
2. They will have to demand
from them greater responsibility.
3. They will have to be willing
to exercise greater authority and
supply more strength.
DR.. Farnham, mother OF q
teen-age daughter and a prac-
ticing psychiatrist who deals daily
with the problems of young peo-
pie, is the author. in collaboration
with Ferdinand Lundberg. of the
widely read Modern Woman:
The Lost Sex" Her new book is
a warm, sympathetic explanation
of what makes an adolescent pre-
cisely that. The portrait she
paints of an adolescent in rela-
ton to himself, his family and
his friends is a touching and
humorous one.
Wise parents, she believes,
should replace ignorance with
real understanding Of what adol-
escence means. I'VE need to get
back on speaking terms with these
young folk and drop a lot of our
superstition about them" she de-
clares. They are not mysterious
gods and goddesses about to pass
a miracle or wreak havoc for the
sheer sport Of the thing. They
are not beyond the reach of rea-
son. They are not people who
need to be treated with gloves
and given everything they de-
mand. They are not in need OF
more freedom than any one else
in the world can expect to enjoy
They are not outside OF
everything, O group apart and
separate.
They can be approached as
human beings with a little Of the
wonderful and a lot Of the very
unwonderful and quite everyday
qualities of all other human be-
ings. They can communicate with
any one who wants to communi-
cate with them. They are be-
ing made into non-producers and
parasites, which suits them very
i'll. They really want something
quite different from what in gen.
eral they are getting. They want
love and understanding above
everything else. They want to be
able to give it in return. If they
fail to get 1t they can be very
dangerous to themselves and to
the society they live in"

Woes

Parenthood, DR.. Farnham be-
lieves. can be taught. Not all the
essentials of parenthood are
teachable. of course-proper feel
ings, for exarmple--but there is a
wide area in which ignorance
about child rearing alone is at the
root of enormous damage. Courses
in marriage and the family are
being given in some colleges.
Courses in the meaning and re-
sponSibilities of parenthood
should be given in high school.
too, she maintains.
Training for any occupation
confers dignity and value upon
it which is inestimable. she sagely
observes. So it would be with
parenthood. For girls, it would
do much to eradicate the dan
gerously absurd notion" that there
was something undignified and
unworthy about their most taxing
and urgent task. For boys, it
would help to instill the idea that
they, too. have an enormous part
to- play in family life, apart from
the business of earning a living.
Parents can learn from each
other. DR.. Farnham says, but "it
is rare to find families making
any effort to pool their knowledge,
their assets, their common prob
lens and difficulties and to work
together toward q common end.
The time is long overdue for some
undertaking of this sort"
The essence of such program,
she feels, is the fact that it intro
duces into city living some of the
valuable elements of small-town
life with its closely knit neighbor-
hoods and greater unity. "Peo-
pie are drawn together and live
as neighbors instead of as Strang-
erS, with all the gain that comes
from such association" she adds.
AS warm and readable anal
ysis of adolescence, written for
the layman by an expert, DR..
Farnham's book should prove q
boon to intelligent parents who
would also be understanding ones.

! Some time ago you asked for

a few things I did the last time
washed my kitchen walls and
lit helped a lot. I used large
square celluloSe sponge. That
made it easy to get into corners
Then I washed up instead of down
/ In that case. I did not have
) streaks running down the un-
: washed wall which would not be
obliterated when I washed that
, portion. You will find the little
t rivers will run down over the
+ freshly washed wall, but it is ar
easy matter to wipe them up, and
no streak is left. Then I put q
5 folded piece of cloth around my
wrist. A piece of an old towel OF
> washcloth is very good. I held il
on with a rubber band. AS the
water ran down my hand, the
: bracelet" stopped it and it didn't
run down my arm. AS the cloth
got wet, merely took it off and
wrung it out. These may seem
small tips, but they are a big help
in a job most of us don't like to do
/ would like to add my thanks
to the readers who sent in sugges-
| tions for washing chamois gloves
