Yonkers, Newr York. We believe it's well w oi th passing along, so here it is: As a teacher in the public schools.- I find that . the sociahst-coniniuiiist idea of taking "lioni each according to his ability" and -urv "to cadi accorduii; to his need" is now accepted .Without question by most of our pupils, fn an effort to explain the fallacy in : his. theory, I 'sometimes try. this approach with my pupils: When one of the brighter or harder -u-ork-itic; pupils makes a grade, of 95 on a test. I su revest that 1 take away 20 pxiints and give them to a stuitent who has raade only 5." points: oil his test. Thus each would contribute 'according to his ability and,-sinee both would , have a passin;: .mark--each would receive ac cordntsi to his need. After I have jugftlcd the . L'rades of all the other pupils in this fashion, : the result is usually a "common, ownership Made of between 75 and 80 the minimum i needed for passing, or for survival. Then 1 speculate with the pupils as to the probable lesu'ts if I actually used the socialistic theory ot grading papers. Kjrst, the highly productive pupils and they are always a minority in school as well as in life would soon lose all incentive for producing. Why strive to make a high grade if part of it is taken from you by "authority" ami given to someone else? Second, the less productive pupils a ma jority in school as elsewhere would, for a tune, be relieved of the necessity to study or to produce. This socialist-communist system would continue until the high producers had sunk or had been driven down to the level of the low producers. At that point, in order l'ii' anuiie to survive, the "authority" would h.ic ii" alternative but to begin a system of compulsory labor and punishments against even the low producers. They, of course, VMiuhi then complain bitterly, but without understanding. Finallv 1 return the discussion to the ideas of tieediim of enterprise the market econ omy where each person has freedom of choice, and is responsible for bis own decis ion', and welfare. ( It atifvingly enough, most of my pupils then understand what I mean when 1 explain that socialism even in a democracy-will e veiituallv result m a living-death for all ex cept the "authorities" and a few of their fav oi ite lackeys " The State. v t . e 0 !.o i . a wool ii a; ipi opi lain ins !.!.!:.. . f the ses cn.t involved was "' i ei'i iinmenda-lUid- ef Commis- 'ha! the (lener- lid that was to Hind- that were ut in the fairest l ienei al Asemblv ave been to erant ' tiiat had been made for addt- '. ...T.iopriations . .-i, w i;t-ii oil coiiMiier uui1 ecota tt'om a broad point of view, we 'a il ;i:M'ee that the Legislature has a irashtv tine job If, however, vou re '.n;s picture from' onl' one angle, then i.ar.ces are that you re dissatisfied with f.as been accomplished.

MIRROR OF YOUR MIND By LAWRENCE GOULD Consulting Psychologist prepare a child to lace reality by giving him "E for effort," if this helps him overlook the fact that two and two do not make five.

J ". 1 to working most of the y v j respite of six weeks or t " ' :i oi It it good psychology to own your own home? Answer: 1 should Kuess that the psychology comes first, and Uie J home, second. But Lillian Cohen reports in the American Journal of Sociology that greater stability and security, both social and psychological, are found among people who own their own homes than in families who live in rent ed dwellings or apartments. At leas! we know that continual moving is unhealthy for children especially for babies. Not only does each change in environment make a child's task of adjustment harder but the desire for a sense of permanency Is part of the im pulse that the home is based on, Should children get "marks" in school? Answer: Yes. On this point 1 agree with Dr. Henry C. Link in "The Way to Security." The harm it may do a child to be ashamed of getting low marks is less ser ious than his coming to feel that it does not matter whether he does well or badly. You dont (OrwricU, 161, tb rtm 8yadkt, lac) I 'natural childbirth" a success? Answer: All that I hear and read inclines me to believe so. It seems pretty thoroughly' estab lished that a normal woman can be educated physically and emo tionally to meet ,.; myjtherhood without fear and go through it with a minimum of pain and danger. An outstanding success in this field is that of the program of the Grace-New Haven Com munity Hospital at New Haven, Connecticut, as described in the book "Training for Childbirth" by Dr. Herbert Thorns, Professor of Obstetrics at Yale University Medical School. The one serious objection to this method is its de mands on the physician's time.
