SOCIAL NOTES

It is the environment; which lias changed and which makes the girls and hoys of this generation seem different, from their elders. Because the world has changed so much in tin* pasty fifty years, parents may he like children, when compared to their children in knowing the world. Parents of to-day’s youth grew up in an environment totally different from that of the present. The pa rent's must learn to see the world as it is to-day. if they are to really help their children, and to keep close contact with their children's outlooks. Parents must see what the modern world is. where it is heading wliat it is doing to youth, to family life, to children, and to other social and economic problems Parents must understand the pre-sent-day youth’s rating of values, of experiences, and of judgments, to he aide to translate to their children what the past has learned about living in the present. .Never before has (here been such opportunity fur independence and freedom for youth as to-day. Never has there been a greater need for wisdom in youth for wise self-direc-tion in the use of its freedom, and for its understanding of the importance of interdependence in its independence. Parents, to help their children learn these lessons must not only have confidence in young i>eople, hut must also he able to win their confidence. To do this, they must grow with their children. They must establish a new relationship on a conference basis rather than on a command basis Youth thinks that the relationship between tat rent and child should he as one adult to another ’Flic youths of to-day are not (hi Id rcn. hut people who want to make their own decisions and must U. helped to make them. Parents must get them ready, from early childhood, to make decisions wisely and must then leave them alone. And always, parents must keep up with their children: they can not hope to he of real help if they remain at a standstill. If homes are not now doing what they should for young people, parents should make their homes over.

Old ornament:* old furniture, bu,*ks, papers, letters, aind an endless list tv ether oddments —all aj* c kt i r would-be economical or perhaps seu-hneiira,] reasons. Most of them a ro W'-'vn o'U.f. and worthless, but because * hey might “come in handy seine day er other” they are kept to cumber space that wouhl be better lelr empty. Sometimes just, apathy is the re-asm of their being. It is perhaps too much trouble to) set to work and destroy or remove the ccjuglomeratioji of useless lumber. The only remedy Rt such a complaint as this hoarding is ruthless discarding. A day oi two of this should precede every .-prin.tr cleaning. If you are afraid that a leisurely process will weaken your will in 'this respect a*nd cause you to set aside sane of the articles in the hope that one day there will be an opportunity of repairing or renovating make the job a sweeping Cdihc. Be ruthless. Cart the whole assortment outside and have a. glorious b njire. But if flic will is strong and some of the things may really bo usable, start at the top of the house and work gradually down, careuify setting iliose aside that may easily be- renovated. Then attend to than at once. Unless chilna is very g.toj it really isn’t worth tlie trouble of sticking it properly. And as t'(.r toys why, their affection i-<r ancieiiit dolls and decrepit animals is very much over-rated. Besides. decaying t)v s breed disease. There is no cruelty iu throw ing away tli c derelicts. Then, when you have rid yoursetves of the inotfmniodious garuerings, make up your minds to harbour no more of fflfein. Home will be a much healthier, cheerier place. There is only one i>oint that must rigidly be burn© in mind. If is no use having regrets when the discarding it over an:l done with. >So forget all about the once sentimental accumulation and start spring clean, i n g w i tli a fresh o utlo < U.
