Pen Points On
Child Welfare
(By LETTIE E. CROUCH.)
"Children In a Democracy" is
the title of a 1940 bulletin pub
lished by the officers of the White
House Conference on Child Wel
fare which met in Washington
last year.
Doctors, nurses, teachers, psy
chologists, and social workers,
all prominent in their respective
fields, collaborated in writing this
eighty-six page study- Every
conceivable factor bearing upon
the well-being of children in the
United States is considered. A
few of thf subjects discussed are
family incomes, child labor, re
ligion, daily character training,
influence of the radio, the press,
the motion picture, guidance of
the adolescent in choosing his
life work, and children of mi
grant. These problems and con
ditions face and surround our
present-day children. It is the
task of adults to help children
beset with obstacles to grow into
self-reliant, dependable citizens
of a democracy.
The report of the White House
Conference On ChilcT Welfare
makes definite and specific recom
mendations regarding methods
by which adults may guide Amer
ican youth in the vital process of
growing up happily adjusted to
life that must be lived in an ever
changing world.
This government printed book
let is seasonable reading for any
time of year for parents and
teachers, and is especially timely
in that it treats of the subjects
discussed in the recent Parent-
Teacher Institute held at Chapel
Hill. It can be obtained from the
Superintendent of Documents,

FROM OXEN TO STREAMLINED TRACTOR;
A STORY OF SOUTHERN FARMING PROGRESS
:.
The producer* of the motion pic
ture "The New South," searching
for authentic local color, penetrated
even to districts far off the beaten
track. In one Southern farming sec
tion miles from a main highway,
they were surprised to find a team
of oxen, booked to an ancient wood
en cart, still doing active dally ser
vice.
A seqneace portraying the team
was filmed, and may be viewed in
the picture, which Is now being
shown all through the South by the
distributors of Arcadian Nitrate.
The scene is part of the historical
picture presented to portray the
development of Southern agricul
ture. -

THURSDAY, AUG. 29, 1940.
the most recent Improvements In
Southern farming, down to the
streamlined tractor, are shown in
contrast with the crude beginnings.
One of the greatest advance'
ments has been the education of
the farmer In the use of fertiliser*
to obtain the greatest yield from
his crops, and to prevent his land
from being depleted. In most Cot
ton Belt soils, the plant food which
Is most often deficient is nitrogen,
the growth element.
Today the South, which still re
members the days when oxen fur
nished the motive power on the
farm, can look forward to a new
era of farm prosperity based on sci
entific findings. *
