There is a nurse there who

is? And why on earth don't
some of the nurses or doctors
who work with her daily put
her wise?

John Gunther in "Taken

early in the 1930s he left

The tendency of most books
of Importance is steadily to
appreciate in value. so the
case of "Jurgen" is somewhat
unusual. The chief trouble
with Cabell's minor master
piece is that it was oversold
as a "risque" item by certain
reviewers, among them Bur-
ton Rascoe, who was a Chi

time Of its publication.
It just does not live up to
that unjustified tribute.

emotions Of the growing
child.
For example. the following
letter indicates how many
children suffer because their
mothers are overworked and
exhausted and irritable:
Dear DR.. SteincrOhn: I am
80 years old and the mother
of three children. My prob
lem is this: I am extremely
sensitive to loud noises in
side the house, and I feel the
children should be trained to
be quiet in the house.
Is there anything wrong in
telling the children I have
a headache and feel nerv-
Gus? My husband feels I will
make hypochondriacs out Of
them by so doing. Is he
right? If so. what can I do
about myself? I've tried to be
patient but it wears very
thin when I'm tired and ir-
ritable.
TAKE SIDES with your
husband. When you use any
effort to constrict their nor
NAL play and exhuberance,
you can't help but dam up
normal emotional outlets.
You sound like Q very tired
mother. I'll bet you and your
husband haven't had more
than two or three days of
since the children came.
Your nerves are frayed, you
are too tired to sleep or eat,
and you're probably anemic.
too. That's why the sounds
Of your own children CRATE
on you so.
For their sake and yours,
I suggest two courses. First,
see your family doctor for q
checkup. Second, make plans
to leave the children with
family or friends df possible)
and take at least a weeks
vacation with your husband.
When you return, you'll
wonder why normal shouts
and laughter of your own
children ever bothered you.
This advice may sound trite
but it's true. Many of my
patients have thanked me for
1t as If I were a wise oracle.
But the remedy was there
staring them in the face all
the while.
Parents can cut down much
future emotional disturbance
in their children If they will
find ways to let them grow
up in peace and without un-
necessary apprehensionS.
Along the same line, here
is a letter from Mrs. Y:
Dear DR.. Steincrohn: I am
writing in regard to the letter
you published recently from
Mrs. M. of Indiana. It was
about her three-year-old boy.
She said, II spank him so
hard and so often" I have
heart that 0-5 are tender
years and harsh treatment is
taken as a sign they are not
loved. She also said that hes
starting to stutter."
Can't she see the child Is
very insecure and feels un-
loved? No wonder he is hos
tile. That little boy needs
tender, loving care to over
come all of his anti-social
habits.
You are my favorite doc
tor, so I know, DR.. Steincrohn.
you will not let me down in
my request. Please send these
words to Mrs. M: This child
needs love. love, love, and not
one sp a king ever again.

knowledge he is loved by

I said she was entirely too

If she starts dating now, what

be kids as long as they can.

this boy, Rory y.%started COM
ing around and just looking
at Penny admiringly. He used

puppy love and there's no
harm in it.
I feel that as long as we
know the boy and his family,
and as long as the kids come
home early, there's no reason
why they shouldn't have a
little fun.
I didn't start dating until I
was about IS and then 1 was
10 shy. I was miserable on
dates. If I had started dating
a little younger it would have
come naturally.
THE COUNCILS VIEW
We can't set an arbitrary
age for the start of dating.
So much depends upon the
individuals and the situation.
Some girls of IL and 13 are
terribly precocious in this
respect and need to be held
back and have some pretty
rigid restrictions placed on
dating activities. Other girls,
while not too forward in this
respect. may pick up a
friendship with a boy and
ask for occasional permission
to go to a movie with him.
If the parents approve Of the
boy, we see no point in build
ing up a big issue about the
matter.
We, do, however, find Mari
anne's attitude somewhat OBJ
jectionable. When adults
fuss about puppy love and
find it too, too cute, they
make a mockery Of whatever
is fine in the experience.
aries and Marianne
should take their daughters
"date" casually. The case OF
puppy love probably will die
within a few weeks. Their
daughter may not ask to date
again for a long time. If the
requests become excessive or
interfere with other activities,
they can lay down the law.
