It's not the list, but the pocketbook that bothers most teen-agers. But with very little effort, a dash of ingenuity and ambition, Christmas

in the stores today. : The male of the teen-age species has an advantage if he has access

to a lathe or woodworking shop— with a fine blanket stitch in self

‘Is the Family Really A Failure?’

By MRS. WALTER FERGUSON Scripps-Howard Staff Writer WRITING in the Atlantic Monthly, Mrs. Della 8. Cyrus says the American family as it now exists is

is happy. Father, mother and children are frustrated by its petty restrictions. She believes young mothers are deeply dissatisfied yet timid about expressing themselves’ because the family is not supposed to be criticized. It is a sacred subject. Those women tied at home with housework and babies are in a bitter mood—that mood colors domestic relationships and is the cause of many broken marriages. The same old remedy is offered— community co-operation. Mrs, Cyrus suggests each neighborhood set up a common nursery where paid workers, preferably community members, will care for children to give their mothers time for outside activity. Community —kitchens—also—-might supply food for those who dislike to cook, » » » IN HER OPINION, defects in family life are to be found in the family as a unit instead of its members individually, And if we want to encourage the one-world idea, we must get away from our close-knit family life habits. Now, if you can accept Mrs. Cyrus’ first principles, you must agree with her arguments. I cannot accept them. I do not believe the family has failed us—we have failed it. Neither do T accept the sheory that all young women are unhappy in their domestic routines. Though our homes may be menaced by changed economic conditions, it is hard to think that men and women will ever cease to long for those profound and time-tried satisfactions which only family life can give them. As for children, those brought up by the community plan have not yet proved to be ‘better than those reared at home.
