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.

Stevenson's questions wer« devastating His own an wers were tOa In an age when men of high purpose are needed, it is well to reflect on the life of a dedicated public servant I*. can be said that no man had greater fidelity to principle. And the tasks be undertook were never easy. To him, we owe the quickened tempo of our intellectual life, the im proved quality of our politi cal debates, and the height ened dialogue between man and society, between citizen and government, and between this Nation and the rest of the world. Fundamental to the fabric of the American philosophy is ♦be dream of a finer world. Stevenson gave voice to this dream. Known for his intel lect and wit, he exhibited the complexities of the 20th cen tury American. Tainted, scho larly. often lonely, he gained nobility, and an ability to in spire when others failed. Yet, twice he suffered political de feat that would have embit tered lesser men. The world and events rush onward, but there is regret that this battler for causes is gone from the scene of act i ion. Many asked when he died on a London street, "Who now can speak for America?" Others can, but no one so . well as he.

C. 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 *- -r t -,|k na ~ oWTP WBolIOPliTf blesseo raudren. too.
