THE ° ‘ mila Grey: a Youth Seeks to Gain Ewperience for Himself Despite Mother's Pleas of “Don't Do That,” or “You Should Do This,” BY CYNTHIA GREY A mother writes several pages of grief regarding her son, 20 years old, She says she is always talking to himn— cautioning him, warning him to do this or not to do that, and in spite of it all, the boy pays little or no attention to her. She goes on to say that he has never gotten into serious trouble, but she is becoming a nervous wreck thru fear that he might, One of the greatest wastes of nerve force and words come from constantly adpising youth. How we reiterate the “Don't do this,” and “You should do that,” only to find them bounding on very much the same, eager to test life for itself, wishing to gain experience rather than to profit from that of others. Of course young people stumble over rough paths that their elders would have made smooth for them, Equally, of course, they fall into traps that we would have removed from their paths. But that seems to be the way of life—we gained our experiences in the same way, and from them, we also gained something of strength, In spite of it all, most of us have kept out of serious trouble; many have managed to accomplish some of life's | work, and some of its joys. Our own mistakes have had as many lessons for us as our successes and taught us what | the latter never could. Why not trust the younger genera- tion to do as well? | And even tho we think we cannot, facts remain the same. The petulant indifference to the gray caution of mfstrustful age still dominates youth. The boy and the girl remain eager to make life for themselves, with vivid impatience calling the days to them. “Have experiences you ynever had!” They answer—‘How can you tell?” So why attempt | the impossible and wear ourselves out in the attempting? If you surround your child with the best that you are, the best that comes within your power in the way of en- vironment, instill strong standards of right and wrong in the early days when character is- forming, you have done —— all that can be done. Each for himself must discover life. eas SEATTLE STAR PAGE 3 VIOLINS and a full line of musioal instru: ments for Christmas THE GROTE-RANKIN CO OTTO F.
