ANSWER—Your greatest Bandicap lies not in the fact that you .are a woman, but in the fact that you resent: -it. Somehow you have come to believe that you were short ‘changed when the sexes were given

out. It is & handicap because it enables you to avoid responsibility.for

- getting ahead by attributing it all to your sex. - Have you ever:heard men moan that the 2 ‘ jcause so many married women work to sup ement their hus- - band’s incomes?

of the poor fellows who are not employed. to see through this defense, but can you see .. ‘own argument? : ! It is true that we are living in a culture adapted to men and it is hot easy to escape the cultural tradition which attributes more real value to the man. A woman competing with men in business has to be a

5 great deal better than a man at her task in order to be advanced

as rapidly as he is. The tension created in women in their efforts to” assert their personal importance has been termed the masculine protest. « Agreat many women in subordinate positions remain there because of their tack of aggression. the. men who dictate them; they may have more diplomacy in meet- . Ing people and feel they know ‘the business as well as the men; but they lack any real vital. interést in the commercial problems involved. ‘A woman may easily be the cultural superior of the man she works with. She may know more about literature, art and music ‘and haye more real insight into human relations, but when you : ‘corifront her with tke profit and loss: side of a ledger, the red and black figures fail to stir her soul to a fine frenzy. x Ts it not true that when you type your inane letters that your thoughts are frefuently elsewhere? Is it not true that the reveries . “into which you fall on the firm's time have nothing to do with how to sell more merchandise? Possibly the very thing that makes these men who use bad grammar and have crude manners uninteresting to you is their absorption in the dull routine of Rusiness to Which everything else is Subordinate. I believe that a perfectly honest | survey of your own nature will reveal the fact that you have no cqmpelling interest in business as such, but, employ your ‘best energies | lin what to you are more worth JANE JORDAN.

‘Freedom,’ Prof. Dunlap States; ~ Baby Needs Mental Stimulation

Leaving Child Entirely to Ovi To ices Likely to Result in Damaging Traits, * Authority Warns Parents.

This is’ the last of two articles on children.’

BY PROF. KNIGHT DUNLAP ~ University of California : (Copyright, 1936, by Science Service)

Modern baby care ‘has swung a little too far tb the left, P am afraid, in attempting to give an infant perfect physical freedom and repose. A

Allowing adults to hold a baby, and maybe on or jiggle ‘him,

many neurotic conditions and nervous breakaowns in youth and early adult life are laid by the treatment in infancy and childhood.

+ = May Cause Thumb Sucking - x

Leaving the baby to himself usually makes him a thuib sucker. And later he has difficulty in establishing social relations. He is apt, as a youth and adult, to become morbidly . introspective, that is, ‘to give his attention too much to himself, - to his bodily processes, his feelings and emotions, his successes and failures, the impression he makes on other persons. Introspection—self analysis—is not good for the indi= vidual. It is, in fact,’ the outstande ing trait which all neurotic persons seem to have in common. = __ An infant should be- entertained

‘practically all the time when awake.

He should be handled and held, talked to, and helped: to handle a variety of gbjects. I do not mean to suggest that en= tertaining the bakly should interfers with its regular § ep periods, of course. : The habit of sleep must be built up. ‘Some people have .the impres=sion that the scientific method of establishing a good sleep habit is to . put the child in ‘its’ crib at the proper time and, if it cries, leg it cry itself to sleep. As a matter of fact, that is the unscientific method. It will: help to make the infant into a “good baby.” good in the sense of being little trouble to its mother. But it makes him a very troublesome child later. It helps. lay the. foundation for neurotic traits.

If the child has not formed: the sleep "habit, .is restless, then singing to it, patting it, or rocking it, as our grandmothers did, is an excellent procedure. Of course, disturbing: lights and noises. must: be avoided. The rule is: Whatever is donei to a child to make it go to sleep must be done with the idea of forming thes habit of going to sleep without it. Even if the infant ‘is properly treated, he is not: immune from neurotic damage later, Throughout
