PARISH STREET SATURDAY
NIGHT: Yes, sir, if you don't be-
lieve it, just ask anybody. 1t amt
nothing that's put in the papers,
whether big thinking or just plain
gogo, that amt likely before the
news hits the streets good, to be
discussed pro and con, and put on
the scales of knowledge strictly
Parish Street variety. And know
ing it as | do there is a whale of
a lot of sense" in the knowledge
of the strictly Parish Street Va
riety. What led me to think along
such lines as ponder another
glass of my favorite beer and
another piece of catfish was that
| had read that long piece in one
of them big magazines here the
other week about how folks should
raise children written by lot of
folks with them big titles such as
psychologist, psychiatrict, and
what not, MA, Ph.D., MD. and
some time all of 'em combined.
And 10 and behold shortly after
l. had perused what they had writ
to the best of my knowledge and
understanding seeing that Solomon
have said WITH ALL THY GET
TING GET UNDERSTANDING
first thing I runs upon is a
bunch of Parish Streeters arguing
and discussing over if any of them
people who wrote all that stuff
knowed what they were talking
about. That is according to knowl-
edge of the strictly Parish Street
variety. l listen while and l
partook. And before anybody
reached any kind of conclusion,
we got to figuring on how what
the folks writ fitted raising the
young OF Aunt Haggar's Chillun.
And we got around to telling how
in the olden days (when we was
boys) how the best persuasion we
ever got from the old folks, til
we learnt some sense of our own
was from a good wet rope, a piece
of leather harness, or sometime
the butt end of a single-tree. If
there is anything wrong with the
way the kids of today are acting,
Aunt Haggar's and everybody
else's, it is because lotta folks
like them folks that wrote all the
books and pieces what they were
talking about in that big maya
zine wrote what they did and
got everybody confused, and took
they mind off wet ropes, leather
harness, and but-end of single
trees as the best persuasion for
kid till they learn some sense
Of they own. The Bible says,
"Train up a child in the way he
should go while he is young, and
when he is old he won't depart from
it. or something like that. Then
there's Solomon who said, "Spare
the rod and spoil the child"
and if you got any of Aunt Hag.
CARS Chilluns young'erns to raise
all you got to do is remember what
Solomon said !. /. Cause, as the
Parish Streeters concluded Solo.
mon had more sense than any OF
them folks that they wrote about
| in that magazine.
