A very natural question this may seem to be. But in democratic family living it's a question that doesn’t have much point. As often as possible, necessary decisions should be made by the whole family group. One of the most effective ways to bring this about is through a family council. Regularly once a week, or whenever there are problems to -be settled, father and mother and the youngsters gather around the table or at some other convenient spot and "talk it over.” Perhaps there's 4 vacation trip in the offing and there's huch to be decided as to where to go and; what to do. Or the gas and elec] tric bill is getting pretty big and there's a need to think of ways in which it can be kept down. Who next most needs to use some of the money budgeted for family clothes? There are all sorts of problems; and questions that can best be answered by the combined thinking of all the members of the family. Not everything may go smoothly at first. It may be ‘hard for
