Greatest Institution
It is estimated from reports to
the White House Conference on
Child Health and Protection that
there are nearly 48,000,000 persons
under the age of eighteen in this
country. Upon the training that
they receive depends the future of
the nation. The question of
whether or not tomorrow they will
come into their maturity- well
equipped, with strong bodies, good
education, and high ideals, re^dy
to take their place in the indus
trial, political, and social life of
the government, is largely determ
ined by those who today are in
position to direct their destinies.
The institution that exerts per
haps the largest influence over the
lives of these future citizens is the
home. Its trend in recent times
can hardly be said to be encourag
ing. With the popularity, especial
ly in the larger cities, of the small
apartment, in many cases both
parents working, and the numer
ous outside attractions, the exist
ence of real home life is seriously
threatened. It is now the ex
ception to find a home in which
the family altar is maintained. It
is a far cry from the day when*
most families gathered around the
fireside each evening to discuss:
family problems or to listen to
passages read from the Bible. Now,
one is more apt to find -the mother
and father at the bridge club, the
older children at some night clufr,.
and the younger at the movies.
No doubt, this trend is reflected
in our national life. The'results
can be seen in the fact that more
than two hundred thousand of the
juvenile population - get into the
courts in a year, and that 3 per
cent of the elementary school en
rollment are behavior-problems.
What can be done to remedy the
situation ? It is a field that legis
lation by the government, even if
possible, would be of little avail.
The responsibility of maintaining
a home that furnishes^ a beneficial
environment for the child must be
borne by the individual parents.
It is a duty that parents owe to
the child and to the -nation. • The
preservation of America’s greatest
institution—the home—is one that
should demand the active interest
and serious attention of every
citizen.

Edge-grained boards hold paint
far better than flat-grained boards,
says the Forest Service of the U.
S. Department of Agriculture. This
is because the bands of summer
wood in the edge-grained boards
are cut in such a manner that they
are as narrow as possible. Among
flat-grained boards ,those surfaced
and painted on the bark side (the
side nearer the bark of the log) arc
more satisfactory to paint than
those turned pith side out because
there is less danger of the grain
“shelling out.”
