Our knowledge of human re-
lationship, though far behind our
development in technology, can
be powerful guide in solving
the worlds ills, and the worlds
ills, in the. opinion of the know
ing, begin with the individual. If
we are human, we have preju-
dices; but do we try to under
stand them and prevent our hurt
ing others?
Mrs. Jeanne Moehn, family life
specialist, University of Mary
land extension service, has the
following to say on the subject:
"If you wish to be a happy
person, you will not harbor pre-
JUDGES. Prejudice is slavery,
while appreciation gives freedom.
How can you overcome prejudi-
ces? One way is to question how
they were formed; then try to
overcome them. You are not born
with prejudices; they are learned.
Only the capacity to develop love
and hate are in your nature at
birth. Your learning to like or
dislike, love or hate, depends up
on your experiences. First come
experiences within the home, and
second, experiences at school and
in the neighborhood. Often i'm
pressions are formed, and many
times these impressions may not
be accurate"
Mrs. Moehn points out that our
world is full of prejudices. Some
persons hold a prejudice more
strongly than others-prejudice
toward foods, people, politics,
races.
Keep in mind that each per-
son is an individual. When you
realize this, you can more easily
give freedom to others. Then you
will not try to make everyone
see things the way you do. If
you can grow in learning as you
grow physically, you can progress
in your thoughts and attitudes" I"
That homemakers develop in
creased skill in using colors with
consideration for all qualities
the colors themselves, their gray
ness, lightness and darkness,
