So MANY parents tell me they are worried because their teen-age children don't want a higher education. a The surest way to waste your money and your child's time is to send him to college if he doesn’t want to go. of We all know § that college graduates fill the great majority of top executive jobs. We know they crowd the pages of WHO'S WHO. But if your boy or girl is not fitted for college training, either by lack of interest or lack of ability, it's a mistake to force the issue. Generally, parents are to blame when their child wants to cut his schooling short. For it's up to them—as well as to the youngster's teachers—to * make him see the advantages of higher learning. When they fail to do so, here are three ‘of the main reasons why: » » s J ONE—Some parents belittle the value of education. Some mothers and fathers discourage their children from going to college . . . Mothers like Dorothy Rowe who told her daughter: “Honey, you're so pretty that you don’t need a lot of k-learning. When you grow up, you can marry a rich

years at college—and look how much money I earn. There's no school like the school of hard knocks.” he x Mothers like Dorothy Ro forget that physical attractiveness alone doesn't hold any man-—rich or pobr—indefinitely. A girl whose mind is welltrained has a much better

understand that they are ‘“selfmade” successes because they inherited an unusual amount of shrewdness and stamina. But if their son has only average intelligence and spunk, he is better equipped to face the world when he has a college degree in his hand.
TWO—Some parents encourage their children too much. Ben and Sylvia King have two teen-age boys whom they are constantly urging to learn more, study harder and get as many degrees as possible in"the years to come. Their favorite expression is, “We never had the opportunity to go to college. So we want you kids to have everything we missed.” The sentiment is nobly motivated but the day-after-day repetition of it has the opposite effect. When a goal is painted as a sacred duty to a youngster, his impulse is to run in another direction. Instead of seeing college as exciting and helpful, the Kings’ two boys think of it as a horrible, arduous responsibilty. Up to the present time, from what they've told me, they don't want to go. ” ” » THREE-—Too many parents kill their teenager's taste for education by trying to choose his career. Dan” and Marie Brown are a typical case in their treatment of their son, Carl, Almost from the day of his ‘birth, they decided Carl should be a physician. Without knowing whether he had any of the qualifications or even was interested, they informed him that medicine was the profession for him. Their reason: “It's always nice to have a doctor in the family: So. Carl grew up and went to school with this directive hanging over his head like an inescapable cloud. Gradually he decided that he wanted to become a writer. By the time he reached 17, he felt that he had had enough of his parents, his education and his way of life in general. og He didn't want to go to college, certainly not ‘a medical school. 80 he joined the navy

any formal education was concerned, he was finished. ” ” » OF COURSE, if a teen-ager is submissive enough, he will con-sent-to becoming a square peg in a round hole, But if he has an independent spirit, he is apt to settle on a career entirely
different from one his parents |
insist upon. In either event, an inner tension results which is harmful. It doesn’t do him any good to please his folks by preparing for a future he doesn't look forward to. Nor does it do him any good to break with his mother and father, and try to swim completely against the current of their wishes. What, can you do to help your teen-ager develop into a welleducated happily successful person? I'm the first to admit that this isn’t easy. But I do believe that the following counsel will guide you in the right direction: ONE—Your teen-ager is what you've made him. Don't try to turn him inside out but help him to express the best of which he's capable. ? TWO-—-Try to make him see that learning is a source of satisfaction, an enlargement of his range of pleasures, THREE—If you want him to follow a certain career, you have the right to try to. persuade him. But do so by picturing it to him as attractively as you sincerely can. Don’t do it by threats or punishment. FOUR—Help’ him to seek sound vocational guidance, based on his preferences and aptitudes. Happy people are those who do the kind of work they enjoy.

Science Making Progress Against Rheumatic Fever
By DR. EDWIN P. JORDAN R many years rheumatic fever has been one of the principal causes of heart disease. Although it is too soon to say that rheumatic fever has been conquered, great forward steps have taken place in the last few years,
One of these advances is in the field of prevention of attacks. Many attacks of rheumatic fever . follow infec-"#" tions of the © upper breath- @ = ing passage- | ways or throat, with germs called streptococei. § For this reason, it has been suspected for many’ years that if some method could be developed for stopping these streptococcic infections it might be possible to forestall at least some of the attacks of rheumatic fever. This has been found to be true. The discovery of the sulpha drugs and the antibiotics, . including penicillin, has provided powerful new weapons against the streptococcus. ” # » y MANY of these preparations have now been tried in various combinations and doses in places where both streptococcic infections and rheumatic fever were particularly bad. The results are most encouraging. For those who have had one attack of rheumatic fever, or who are particularly vulnerable, these preparations lessen the risk of further attacks and the danger of developing serious heart disease. The other hopeful development lies in the dis-

covery of and work now being done on cortisone and ACTH, both of which have been discussed in this column.
# ”. -
THERE seems little doubt that either of these substances, if given to a person suffering from active rheumatic fever, will bring a rather quick and remarkable improvement in most of the symptoms — joint swelling, pain and fever. It is not known yet, however, whether they will prevent the development of heart disease, because this can be found out only after a long period of observation. . » » OF COURSE, there are also many things to find out about how much of them to give, when is the best time to give them, about possible undesirable side effects and other problems, But even what is “known now gives hope that both prevention and improved treatment of rheumatic fever are really here, In order to get the most out of the advancing knowledge, parents should remember that early diagnosis is imporiant. Symptoms which are suspicious in either children or grownups should not be ignored, lest serious heart disease develop
