lation of 14,476 in 1910 to 49,
803 in 1859 but then doomed
to 25.600 by 1860. The median
family income is $13,007. Com
munity services and spirits are
of a high order. Most of the
fathers are business or pro-
fessional men. Few mothers
work.
But the one-claSS Cor one
attitude) community is not
necessarily an upper-class COM
munity. We shall discover this
in our Comparisonville: Belle
fontaine Neighbors, a half
hours drive north of st. Louis
In 1850, it was open fields. AT
the time of my last visit the
population exceeded an estim-
ated 10000. There was one
Jewish student in the junior
high school. The city was run,
largely by part-time officials
and momentum, from its fifth
temporary city hall, a two
bedroom ranch-type home
which it rented for $3.50 a
month. However, let no one
hint that Bellefontaine Neigh
bors is not trying to get with
it," At the supermodern new
school administration building
I was shown a vacant office.
That's for the psychiatrist, "
my guide said with pride.
Areas Compared
Most Bellefontaine Neigh
bors homes ranged in price,
when new, from $1,000 to
$1,000 and some cost up to
$4,000. Most of tn e m are
owned by men who work in
breweries and factories or who
attained white-collar status not
too long ago. Incomes were es-
timated as just about the ma
tional average between S.
900 and $6500. This includes
earnings of many m o thers S
(Some say as many as so per
cent? who must work; ofte n
just to keep up with the costly
tastes conditioned by their
neighbors and children.
1t seems preposterous to ex-
pect Bellefontaine Neighbors
and Highland Park parents to
bring up their children along
identical lines. Well, the reader
will recall the series of anec-
dotal sample coddlings cited
earlier. All of these originated
in Highland Park. Now here are
some from Bellefontaine Neigh
bors:
. A 4-year- old was taken by
his mother to st. Louis, where
he spotted a Negro boy and
said, Look how dirty that boys

ever been select oases attract
ing migrants in search of their
own. AS long as these class
conscious segments were small
and within easy reach, the
impact on their children was
tempered. Now that the same
sitting process engulfs mil
lions, more and more kids come
to know only their neatly
manicured, fumeless, comfort
ably monotonous bedroom COM
munities where there are al
most no old people, no poor,
no childless, no Negroes, either
no Jewish families or many,
no sidewalks, no houses or in
comes too different from those
of their parents.
I'VE seem to be stepping into
a new ghetto" I was told by
DR.. Donald H. Bouma, a young
Grand Rapids sociologist. THE
suburban group loves it that
way. 1t puts a protective armor
around them"
Everyone who has ever lived
in a modern suburb knows that
| in these green and gracious
| places everybody's business is
everybody elSe's business and
attitudes are as contagious as
the latest type of stomach
virus. 1t is less often realized
that the constantly increasing
physical isolation of the sub
urb from the city has created
a phenomenon which our socie-
ty has never known on a signi-
ficant scale: the class
community.
Expert Quoted
There is no need to take my
word for this. One of the back
ground papers for the Golden
Anniversary White House Con-
ference on Children and Youth
was called THE Effects of Sub
urban Living" It's author was
DR.. Dan w. Dodson and it en-
capsules more solid fact and
good sense than I have read
on this subject before or since.
Here are a few highlights:
Today the suburbs dominate
the city. That which is
smart, chic, worthy of emula-
ton, is suburban. The symbols
are the station wagon, the
cook-out and a lawn mower
which one can ride. Resi-
dent families have comparable
incomes and comparable social
status. There are few relatives,
such as uncleS, aunts and
grandparents to provide a link
with other generations and
older cultures. The one
class community does not pro-

Just about every qualified

dren emerged with similar ap-
prehension.
The most detailed study was
-sonducted by three Canadian
social scientists who concluded
in their 505-page analysis of q
Toronto suburb. "Crestwood
Heights: A Study of the Cul-
ture of Suburban Life":' THE
Crestwood child has been con-
stantly urged by his parents
and teachers to become mature
and responsible, but the culture
has not provided many oppor-
tunities to become either in
reality"
Perhaps the best picture of
su burban diSilluSionment
comes from a Harvard anthro-
pologist, DR.. Dorothy Lee:
II fled, not from the coun-
try, but from the filtered ex-
perience which I had been pro-
viding for my children. We
went to where the children
could be tempted to join street
corner society, where they
could see brute poverty, and
vice and exultation, and the
bewilderment of the rejected
immigrant; where they could
be exposed to bad English and
despicable music. I took them
where they could meet taste
that had not been labeled good
or bad, so that they could make
their own decisions about
it. :"
Some thoughtful parents
have begun to see psychological
pot holes between the crab
grass. There is a monotone of
emotions, one father said. THE
kids almost never see a funer-
al. Death has become imper-
Sonal. Maybe that'll make it
difficult for them to show and
feel emotion later on"
No Place to Dig
A mother said: There's no
place here to make a mess.
Everybody keeps the yard Just
so. There's no place where kids
can go dig a hole"
There are, of course, capital
assets for children in Suburbia,
and we shall examine them
later in our travels. I have
picked two guinea pig COM
munites, largely because they
seem to have so little in COM
mon and because no major
aspect of either one can be
considered extreme.

men, I'll stick with Highland

1t all began to register with
me one sunny Sunday after
noon near the North Shore
Railroad tracks in Highland

we were doing something quite
extraordinary. We were walk
ing. Even more notable, we
we're walking without a plan
without a particular destina-
ton. Trudging through a small
industrial slum, we came upon
a tumble down house. A small
boy peered out of an unpainted
door to look us over. He was
filthy and shabbily dressed.

year-old, "a frontier kid"

are leaving the city "for tn
children's sake" This is un'
questionably true, but it is wei
to keep in mind that research
ers have now officially isolateC
a variation on the theme. A
w ashington pSychiatriS
brought it into the open at 6
joint conference of the Ma
tional Institutes of Health anc
the Brookings Institution on
so help me, Problems of Migra-
ton Among the American Mid
die Classes" This daring doc.
tor said: Either you move tt
the suburbs because you like
kids and want things for them
or because the kids are 9
problem and this will get them
off your hands"
Until quite recently, suburbs
depended on central cities. Any
child could - and frequently
had to - leave them, usually
just by getting on a streetcal
or a bus iammed with citizen,
who did - always look anC
act like the 1eighbors. But thii
was before the big population
boom, GI. loans, and the happy
spread of affluence prompted
builders to lay out bigger anc
bigger suburbs, equip the m
with enough services to make
them more and more self-Suf-
ficient, and move them farther
and farther out into yeSter-
days pastures.
The effect of this new isola-
ton on the orientation of chill
dren is little short of staggering.
I discussed this suburban char
acteristic with the guidance di-
rector of a Highland Park
grade school. For some years,
she had been administering an
Interest inventory" to her
charges. On the basis of long
term results, she estimated
that no more than 80 per cent
of the children had ever visited
Chicago's loop area and only
10 per cent had ever ridden on
Streetcars, buses, or elevated
trains.
Many, many more have
been on planes to Florida and
Arizona" she said.
New Breed Seen

are now barely in their teens
are very distinctly new breed.
They are the first generation

But we are not con-
cerned with the nomenclature
of real estate men. The point
is that most of Suburbia lives
in a subdivision frame of mind,
and for an excellent reason:
has quite literally
subdivided the country.
Historically, suburbs have
