MASON ON EDUCATION
Pupils Must Accept
Own Responsibility

. A child must want to i'm
prove his past behavior.
A child must plan i'm
proved behavior.
With tn csc principles in
mind, working patiently with
quiet talks and admonitions,
parents and teachers can help
children change their behav-
ior and study habits.
Consider the case of
Charles, a high school sophie
more. Charles was Indifferent
toward school; his grades
we're poor. His fathers at
tempts to drive him into doing
better school work brought no
change.
Pupils Responsibility
His mother scheduled his
study hours, supervised them
carefully, typed his themes.
All her efforts to raise his
st n d ar d to performance
seemed in vain.
At my suggestion his par
ents turned the problem over
to Charles. / gave him some
suggestions to help him plan
his approach to each subject,
but the responsibility became
his.
1t took time. He had to
force himself to make fresh
starts several times, but at
the end Of a year he had the
situation in hand. He was rum
ming his own life, making
good grades and, as a bonus,
was a happier, healthier boy.
Charles could not have &C.
complished this without the
tr aiming his parents and
teachers had previously given
him. Nor could he have done
it without having responsible
ty thrust upon him.
The road to adulthood is not
always as rocky as it was for
Charles. Ideally, parents start
out controlling behavior and
gradually shift the respon-
sibilty to their children.

DEAR ABBY

DEAR ABBY: I am In hot
water with a very good friend
Of mine. / have known for
years that he has worn a tou-
pee, which is the only toupee
I've ever seen that looks ike
the persons own hair. / told a
group of men at my club that
be wore a toupee. (Some were
surprised, and many were
not). Later, when / saw my
friend, he let me know in no
uncertain terms that he did
not appreciate my telling peo-
pie that he wore a toupee. I
did not mean to be unkind, l
simply stated a fact. l didn't
think he'd mind. Was l
wrong?
CHECKING.
Yes. You should have
checked with him first. II he
didn't "mind"-why do you
think he would wear a tOupee?

Here's what a father told
me:
"A pretty girl accomplished
in a few minutes what my
wife had not been able to do
in IA years. This morning,
without being told, Jack
washed his face, combed his
hair and put on a Gle an
shirt"
And here's what l told the
father:
Go home and compliment
your wife. Without the years
Of training she had given your
son, 1t would not have been
possible for the little girl to
perform such a miracle.
Proper behavior in any field
Is not attained suddenly-but
it Is worth working for, even
during periods when little prog
reSs is evident.
Don't sit back and wait for
q miracle!!
/ have heard parents say,
my sons grades are poor. I
hope he wakes up before it is
too late"
Before it's too late, the par
ent should make sure his son
knows what's expected Of him.
Just as with any behavior,
sudden motivation annot
make a student of one who
knows no learning skills.
Keep Talking, Hoping
Parents and teachers must
keep explaining, insisting
and hoping-until the day
comes when the student, him
self, accepts the responsibility
for his own progress. Eventu-
ally he must be the one to try.
Not until Jack tried to be
pleasing to the girl did a real
change in his appearance take
place. Then, and only then,
did the years of training pay
off.
0 A child must know what is
expected of him by parents
and teachers.
. A child must understand
the desired b e h avior well
| enough to think out very def
mite plans for making his fu-
ture behavior different from
his past behavior.

explain why a man in his

Sometimes there is a COM
pIete loss for one individual
and slight loss for others.
Much depends, l think, upon
the persons appetite.

Mr.. Khrushchev's moon re-

Firstly, they could indicate

Secondly, they could be q
