'Spare The Rod' Psychology Gives Kids The Upper Hand
New York—(U.P.)—Children raised on the "don't inhibit the little jarlling" psychology books are ruining American social life and rapidly turning parents into a generation of miserable hermits, a mother-law-writer said Tuesday.
What the books, in the hands of doting parents, are turning the children into, Mrs. Evelyn Barkins hesitates to predict. She's afraid it's the insane asylum.
"Most of the children of my friends are awful," said the 31-year-old doctor's wife who expects to produce her third book shortly before her fourth child next spring.
They're given everything they ask for, she said. They do everything they feel like. They monopolize the conversation; they're vicious, and they're destructive.
"Their parents are so accustomed to it, they just sit and say, 'Don't do that, dear,' in a weak voice. The children don't pay any attention. "We just can't see half our friends any more." Mrs. Barkins said. "You can ask him with the children. If you call on them you spend the whole time admiring the children's drawings and listening to them babble about what they learned in current events. Even in the dead of night, toys poke at you out of the sofa and baby carriages trip you in the hall."
Mrs. Barkins said her own children were being raised without benefit of psychology books. They've got manners—just like grandfather taught them. That makes them pleasant to have around. Mrs. Barkins said.
They've also got frustrations.
That, she hopes, may keep them

sane. She's afraid hordes of their contemporaries are going to do stark raving crazy when they grow up and discover "the rest of the world won't kowtow as dear little mama and papa used to do."
Dean Dislikes High Wages
High wages are fine, if you earn them. W. Laird Dean, President of the Merchants National bank in Topeka and a member of the board of directors of the Santa Fe railroad, told members of the society for the Advancement of Management Tuesday night.
"The idea of being paid for doing nothing has got to go." Mr. Dean said. "The unnecessary costs that unions are forcing on the railroads are adding immensely to the railroad's operating cost. On one section of the Santa Fe in California firemen are working 10 days a month and earning $7,000 a year. 'The success of any business depends on its management,' he said. 'The technical side of many businesses that have failed has been perfect. Yet the business fails because of poor management.'
Mr. Dean said that in the cast the bankers would consider a small business loan to be $500,000. Here in the Middle West a small loan is considered to be $5,000 or $6,000.
"There are three questions we ask a person when he applies for a loan," said Mr. Dean. "First, how are you going to use the money? Second, what security have you? And third, how do you plan to repay the loan."
The next meeting of S.A.M. will be Tuesday, Jan. 10. Officers for the spring semester will be elected at that time.
