You can almost hear their voices, and see
their eyes sparkle. They have confidence be-
cause they have studied their lessons. Cues
tons do not worry thenl-they know!
Will they be as confident when it comes
to the more serious questions of adult life?
Those who grow up in the Church and give
God His rghtfu place are building on firm
foundation. In His House they increase in
wisdom and stature and in favor with God
and man." There is no substitute for the
Christian precepts and ideals taught by your
church.
But what about those who lack this train
ing? Will life seem difficult to them because
they lack the confidence which comes from
knowledge of God and His teachings?
Do your children have the advantage of
this confidence?

Senate President Walter /.

conference between members

codes. The conference will be
held on Tuesday March % at

The conference was called
at the request Of Governor
Merwin who declared in a let

Among the most important
matters winch will come be-
fore the Legislature at its Re-
gular Session, which will be
convened in April will be the
proposed legislation dealing
with building codes and the
control Of the tremendous
program of expansion which
is now taking place in the
Virgin Islands. Unless we
grapple with this problem in

we will all live to see the is

everything just so. I haven't
been able to find satisfactory
regular help so I rely on a
handyman who comes once
or twice a month to do the
heavier work. Outside of that

When my mother comes to
visit, which is nearly every
week end, she rolls up her

She keeps bothering me
about why I don't have a

gets me so upset I could
scream-and sometimes do.
Then mother is angry and
won't have anything to do
with me for a month.
Mrs. L. G.-Caroline has
always been a high-strung,
emotional girl and she is no
different now from what she
was at IA. So I take her
screaming less seriously than
she thinks. I just give her
time to think the whole thing
over.
But I have been trying to
get Caroline to understand
that she would be less ner-

little more organization into
her household. When I walk

she lives in the worst chaos.

filled with doctors. They
chatted and riff1ed through
their notebooks. A woman
assistant came onstage in
woolen skirt and sensible
shoes and announced: "Mein-

A fat little man came on
stage. He had no neck. He
looked like a small egg on

Of Sigmund Freud. Here in

study of the mind originated,
DR.. Adler treated simple cases
for the edif1cation of German
physicians.
THE FIRST CASE was a
blond boy. His expression was
resentful. The woman gave
the case history.
"Ah," the doctor said, read
ing, "he throws erasers at the
teacher. The principal sends
him home many times, but
still he throws. " He looked
down at the boy. "You do this
when the teachers back is
turned?" The boy looked at
the stage floor.
"Are you afraid to look at
me?" the doctor asked gen.
tly. The boy looked up at
once. The word afraid was
a challenge to him. How old
are you?" The boy made a
circle with one shoe. Ten"
he said.
"Ten?" the doctor said.
"You are little for ten, are

pinned the doctor with ven-

said, you are little for ten,

then he nodded and looked
down.

said. II am little for forty.
The teacher does not under
stand you. I do. We who are
little must prove that we are
big. We go through life

The eyes remained on the
floor.

slowly raised himself on his
toes and let himself down.
