"ATTACK THE PROBLEM." SAYS THE JOURNAL

The Ladies Home Journal has directed a great portion of its space and effort in the direction of schools, in its October issue. In the special feature section, under the caption, "Let's Attack the Problems, Not the Schools" such thought provoking subjects are discussed as, "Let the Parents Speak;" "Let the Teachers Speak;" "Your Child Can Learn to Read;" "Honor Our Teacher;" "I Quit Teaching;" "Teaching Is My Life;" Educating Our Children--Do We Know What We Want?"

The generally accepted fact regarding the critical condition of schools is of growing concern to each of us.

There is definitely a more wholesome picture in the method of approaching the problems. There is an increasing awareness of the need for thorough and sympathetic parent-teacher relationships. Such thoughts as these offer a challenge: "Whose Fault Is It If Our Child Is Not Learning All He Should?"

"We Need Plain, Ordinary Discipline In Our Schools."

Forcing a child to remain in school who can't or won't learn to read, until he is sixteen years of age, has no educational value. It may keep him out of trouble or it may lead him to it. We have given far too much emphasis to how old children are in years. We are turning far too many illiterates out with high school diplomas."

These articles are presented by experts in the field and have much to offer all who are concerned with youth development. They will find the reading of the current issue of the Ladies Home Journal profitable.
