'Child Abuse Constitutes Grave Peril First Experiences Exert Influence Lasting Through Life. BY GRETTA PALMER Times Special Writer NEW YORK. June 22.—“ Night after night in the dormitories, day after day in the open fields, the testimony shows, the keepers of the institution beat, kicked and knocked about the boys for offenses as slight as talking above a whisper, smiling at the wrong time and

failing to complete their chores in time.” That is the report of conditions in the truancy school. And it is, to my mind, a more shocking one than the story of a murder trial. A murder destro y s only one person; this type of education may ruin hundreds. The world, as

Miss Palmer

it exists in 2000, will depend on the wisdom and kindness of the boys who are in our schools today. Parents and educators are the sculptors of the future. The citizens of tomorrow are in their hands. For us to treat these children of tb" twenty-first century as abominably p„s the news story reports is a far more heinous offense than one committed against an adult. Grownups must stand on the personalities they possess. These children are still in the making. The obligation and the responsibility of the old toward the young has never been fully recognized .We are inclined still to base our philosophy on that of the old days, when children were an economic asset and when one’s whole duty had been performed when one had hitched a boy to a plow. Nowadays it is our job not only to see that a boy or girl is headed toward a respectable profession. It is

A Womans Viewpoint BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON

“T DON’T know why I ever read your column,” is the rather discouraging beginning of what turned out to be a friendly letter. “Its title is so unscieintific and misleading. Why should you subscribe your name to the fallacy that ‘A Woman’s Viewpoint’ fundamentally is different from a man’s?”

Responsibility for the title must be left with her local editor, who is at liberty to label these outpourings of mine as he pleases. There was a time when I looked upon the above-men-tioned title as disdainfully as this correspond-

Mrs. Ferguson

ent and scorned the implication that men and women differed in their mental attitudes. But I have changed my mind about that. I honestly believe masculine and feminine thinking is sharply different, and ever must remain so. The male and female idealism never must be identical, else the whole character of humanity would be changed for the worse. Whatever kind of work women may be doing they should stick to what the letter writer sarcastically calls “the pattern of femininity.” We never shall be able to better our state or that of the world unless w f e conform to it. It is necessary, as we all agree, for men and women to co-operate, but surely this does not mean merely an exchange of jobs so also our our obligation to see that that child has a decent and reasonable chance to fight for happiness. Psychiatry has entered the modern world, and we can not afford to ignore it. It emphasizes the importance of the first experiences a child enjoys. Whether they are happy or horrible may affect his entire career. To be cruel to a grownup man is simply to hurt him. To be cruel to a child may affect not only his life but that of every one whom he may encounter for the next fifty years.

that we all may prove our versatility. It should not demand the mixing of our missions. Co-opera-tion signifies something more fundamental and genuine than that. Each sex should be given its opportunity, so that the creative intelligence of both may be developed to its highest capacity. The truly courageous person is content to remain within the circumference of reality, and the first reality for a woman is the knowledge that she is NOT a man. She should recognize her limitations which prevent her reacting to life as a man reacts. More important still, she should realize she possesses possibilities which are as superior to man’s as the evening star is superior in brilliance, steadfastness and beauty to the glow-worm.
