enough reading as it is. When I
was growing up I was an avid
reader and got all my ambition
and interest in life out of books.
My parents did not encourage
me to read, and often objected
because they felt it was a waste
of time. But I read whenever I
could manage to find time. My
wife had the same experience,
and we were drawn together by
the common interests we got out
of reading.
I have visited homes of friends
and have discussed this problem
with them and I do not want a
television-crazy home.

band would keep our home a
quiet place and encourage our
children to read. feel different
i y now because the children
have to live in a world that is
much different from the one in
which we grew up in. Although
We have keep TV out, the chill
dren show no desire to read, but
are always sulking. arguing and
sneaking off to the homes of
other children.
I feel it is better to retreat
now than to build this up into
a bitter issue that will estrange
us from the children. They are
beginning to feel we are queer
and are depriving them of the
most important thing in their
Lives.
THE COUNCILS VIEWS
| This is not just a question OF
going along with the tide.
Television has some positive
values to offer. 1t need not be
a substitute for reading. On the
contrary. it may stimulate in
terests in the children, arouse
their curiosity and even lead
them to read.
TV is probably here to stay for
ia good while, and it should and
can be managed in the home.
Since the children now feel
starved for TV, they may tend to
be indiscriminate in their listen
ing at first. But they will soon
tire of the marathon sitting ses-
sions and begin to choose only
the few programs that hold
intense interest for them.
Parents should make an effort
to guide their children's TV
Interest, and this can often be
done in indirect ways. Discus
sing programs at the dinner
table is a good way of arousing
Interest in good programs.
There definitely are good pro-
grams, along with stupid and
harmful ones.
A negative attitude toward TV
lis likely to be self defeating in
the long run, while depriving the
Ichildren-and, the adults-of
some positive values.
