WASHINGTON -Great
events move in relentless fa

notice there are difference*
in the players on the stage
of history. A few month* ago
the world was shocked bv
the death of Adalai K. Stev
enson. Time has not lessened
the kiss.
North Carolinian felt the
loss keenly, for an empathy
existed between our people
and Ambassador Stevenson
that no other could claim
When he came to visit N. C. as
Gov. of Illinois or U-N. Am
bassador, be was at home. His
sister, Mrs. Ernest Ives, calls
North Carolina home, too.
Many of the Ambassador's an
cestors came from cur State.
They were among our early
settlers and were numbered
among our first leaders. So
a kindred feeling for the "Go
vernor"' grew in our state.
North Carolina said as much

Stevenson gave voice to this

Others get ulcers. More than
a few contemplate the ulti
mate: suicide.
Dr. Mollie S. Schildkrout,
child psychiatrist former pe
diatrician and teacher, discus
sed some of the different
kinds of pressure and pres
sate! Ih a fcfe*t ID
National Education Associati
on Joint Committee on Health
Problems and Education.
She sketched the problems
of a group of children who are
too dependent on their moth
ers and told of the "separa
tion anxiety" which occurs
when a child first goes off
to school.
This problem sometfcnes
precedes a more serious one:
that of a child trying too hard
to please parents through ac
ademic achievement beyong
his ability.
The child strains. The mo
ther gets too involved in
homework. The seeds of trou
ble take root. They bloasom
into an unhappy impasse fed
by the pattern of constant ten
sion and fear of failure.
Or. SchiJdkrout also des
cribed "mildly damaged child
ren." These are the ones of
low average ability or neuro
logical impairment who suf
fer when parents do not or
cannot accept the child's li
mitations.
The psychiatrist said the
largest group of children
whose performance in school
is likely to fall below poten
tial ability are those with a
"personality trait disorder
passive or passive aggresive."
She maintains that the num
ber of children developing
this "motivation 'or failure"
has increased markedly dur
ing the past 25 years.
"In the past," she said,
"children were brought up to
believe that through their in
dividual efforts they could
live a better life than their
parents had.
'But today, except among
the impoverished, the aver
age child has few essentia;
needs that are not met."
The impoverished child of
ten exhibits disinterest in the
good fight for the gosd life.
Dr. Schildkrout calls these the
"vacuum children" whose life
in a cultural vaccum is "now
beginning to receive tttent ion
in the anti-pcverty aid 'Op
eration Head Start" programs.
But the vaccum problem can
