"The funny part of it is that the parents want us to do the disciplining. 1 guess they are just reacting against all the discipline they got when they were young." The time parents spent 24 years ago training their children now is spent at the movies, attending clubs, and listening to the radio, she said. "And where are the children?" she asked.

"Why, they're doing the same thing." Miss Neal said in the old days the school was the center of interest for everyone. Now it's just a place where pupils spend their time between club meetings, and where parents leave their children to be brought up. She said the war had accelerated the decrease in parental influence over children, but the change was taking place long before 1941. Teacher Is George. "Gradually parents have assumed the attitude of 'Let George do it, she said.

"George in this case is the teachers. "But we do the job willingly, and many parents co-operate with us and that's half the battle." Miss Neal said this added task of the teachers had made the children have much more respect for them. "A lot of mothers hate to admit it," she "but I have more influence over their children than they do." Nurse's Aide Corps To, Give Tea Friday A tea marking the sixth anniversary of the Nurse's Aide Corps in Louisville is planned for 4 p.m. Friday at the Red Cross Chapter House, 1355 S. Third.

Schools assume training children should get in the home, she says By the United Peta Chicago, June 4. The only thing wrong with children today is their parents, the nation's No. 1 teacher said today. "They just won't discipline their youngsters," she said.

Miss Aline Neal, Jackson, selected by a group of THESE WOMEN! could at least have made the three years during "You dog most far-reaching thing which has happened recently, because of the effect it may have upon the lives of our young people, was the report of the President's Commission on Universal Training. The President had asked that they lay special stress on nonmilitary benefits of universal training, but the commission explained in its report that it could not justify training unless the military side was present. In a talk I had with a responsible member of our Government the other day, he remarked that history showed that lack of preparedness rather than preparedness precipitated wars. A warlike nation which thought itself a little better prepared than its neighbors, but which was really not anxious to go to war, would try to put over a bluff to achieve some end. The bluff would not work, and the situations created would lead to war even if the first nation was ready to draw back.

IF THAT IS SO, then it would appear that we would be entirely justified in accepting the recommendations of this report, which takes a broad view of all our national defenses. It says that no branch can be neelected and suggests that every young man between the ages of 18 and 20 spend a year in training. The first six months would be spent in basic training. Then a broad choice would be presented, so that the young man could acquire something which would help him in civilian life. I am glad that the report slates that this program is essential until the United Nations is able to take over the complete defense of world peace.

I am not sure, however, that even then universal training should come to an end, for we will have to provide our portion of services to the United Nations. And if underlying philosophy of this report is carried out in legislation, it might well be extremely valuable to the young people of the country as peacetime training. Copyright, 1947.
