Adoption by the conference of "a practicable program of mental hygiene for the schools and col­ leges of Texas," prepared by a committee of 14 educational lead­ ers from public schools, junior colleges and colleges, was the first step toward realizing the plan.

Better educational counseling to enable pupils to get more good out of their work and to develop more responsible character, vocational guidance and job placements, im­ proved teacher education, guid­ ance clinics where possible, sum­ mer courses in colleges, annual conference to be sponsored by the Hogg foundation, with outstanding national leaders in charge, and close cooperation of educational with civic and industrial forces are among the aims of the pro­ gram.l "Mental hygiene, from the coun­1seling viewpoint, is the modern means of making our youth into happier and more effective citi­!zens, with the knowledge and the courage to help themselves m their development rather than de­ the work which is to be sponsored.

KENNEDY As!oetated Press Sta.ff The Hogg Foundation for Mental Hygiene, like many another institution, was set up in times of peace, but now finds itself deep in a war-born humanitarian job. "This is the first war in which a program of preventive and rehabilitation mental hygiene has been developed for mem­bers of the armed forces," Dr. Robert L. Sutherland, director of the Foundation, told a group of military and civilian doctors and social workers. "It is also the first one in which psychiatric tests are given to inductees in an attempt to screen out those civilians not qualified emotionally to be in uniform." "Not qualified emotionally to be in uniform ..." Strange new words, unheard of in the last world war. Yet, today, 25 years after that war, nearly half of the 67,000 beds in veterans admin­istration hospitals are occupied by neuropsychiatric casualties of World War I, whose care has cost the government over a bil­lian dollars. The Hogg Foundation for Mental Hygiene is dedicating a large portion of its funds to keep hospitals of World War II from becoming loaded with men who did not have the mental stability to take the discipline of t h e training ground and the fire of the bat­tlefield. This foundation was estab­lished by the children of Gov. James Hogg, Miss Ima and her brother Mike, from an allot­ment of one and one-half mil­lion dollars bequeathed by their brother, Will, for "Humani­tarian Work in Texas." Although the subject of men­ tal hygiene was comparatively a new one in Texas at the time, through contact with psychia­ trists Miss Ima Hogg realized the need for work in this field. She had her brother offered the bequest to the University of Texas for the establishment of a mental hygiene foundation. The board of regents accepted the gift in 1939, provided free rental space in the universitv's main building, adopted the name "Hogg Foundation for Mental Hygiene," and placed Dr. Robert L. Sutherland in charge of the work. Although the Hogg Founda­ tion endeavors to provide aid to all social agencies throughout the state, one of its principal functions now is working with the military, both at the pre­ induction center, and with se­ lective service. "In the present war," Dr. Sutherland said, "by having trained psychiatrists interview each applicant, the armed serv­ices have been able to keep out of uniform some 400,000 men who, if inducted, would in all probability have cracked up during the first six months of training." Case histories are secured with the aid of social and judi­cial agencies on men with a his­tory of mental illness or mal­adjustment in each community. These are forwarded to the Hogg Foundation and from there made readily available to induction centers. What are some of the traits in an individual which make him unfit for military serv­ice? A top-ranking doctor in the local selective service office, answered the question thus: "Instability, seclusiveness, sulkiness, sluggishness, discon­tent, lonesomeness, depression, shyness, suspicion, overboister­ousness, timidity, sleeplessness, lack of initiative and ambition, personal uncleanliness, s t u­pidity, dullness, resentfulness to discipline, nocturnal incon­tinence, sleepwalking, recog­nized queernes~, suicidal ten­dencies, either bonafide or not, and homo-sevual proclivities." 120,000 Attended Psych Meetings· Hogg Foundation Aids Hygiene Work During the past year 120,000 persons have participated in insti­tntes and mental hygiene meet­ings, some of which concerned im­provements in the treatment of mental patients returning to com· munity life, Dr. Robert L. Suth­erland, director of Hogg Fou'nda· tion, announced in his report re· cently. Five-year-old Hogg Foundation\' is financed by tpe estate of the late Will Hogg. Administered by the University, it has a program of assistance to groups whose work is Telated to mental hygiene, medicine, psychiatry, clinical psy­chology, social work, personnel work, education, an_d re~igio~.. The personnel s1tuatwn IS Im· proving._with the return of psychi­ .atrists from military service and the partial correction of the sal­ary problem in state hospitals t~at was made during the last sesston of the Legislature. Dr. Sutherland worked with the State Selective Service in estab­lishing a psychiatric screening pro­cess for Texas. He served as un­paid consultant to Brigadier Gen­eral J. Watt Page, state selective service director. Dr. Sutherland provided dis­cussion leaders for army camps ' and USO Clubs and co-operated with the Armed Forces Institute in preparing study material. He also obtained the services of Dr. Luther Woodward of the National Committee for Mental Hygiene for three extensive touTs of Texas to assist community leaders in planning programs. made by the Woman's Foundation : :, aV&llable when communi­of New York. . t ties request them.

He started his first term of office in 1890 and was re-elected in 1892. Orphaned at twelve, James Ste­ phen Hogg worked as a farmhand, typesetter and editor of a coun­try newspaper to finance his study of law. He was admitted to the bar at 24 and served as county and district attorney. He became state attorney general in 1886. At the close of his second te1m as governor, he opened a law of­fice in Austin and later in Hous­ ton. Hogg is best remembered as the governor who advocated the es­tablishment of the Railroad Com­mission. In addition to the com­mission, he secured the enactment of a "stock and bond" law to pre­vent watering of railroad securi­ties, a "municipal-bond" law to prevent the indiscriminate issu­ance of municipal securities, a law forbidding land holding com­panies, and a law restricting land I ownership by aliens. Before his death in 1906, Hogg lltated that he wished his life to be remembered only for the "fruit it bore." "I want no monument of stone or marble," he said, "but plant at my head a pecan tree and at my feet an old-fashioned walnut, and / when these trees shall bear, let the pecans and walnuts be given out among the plain people of Texas eo that they may plant them and make Texas a land of trees."

Barker Texas History Center. Interested in the University's advancement even before he was governor, Hogg knew the adminis­tration and faculty, sent his chil­dren here, and helped relatives and friends to study here. He wanted the young people of Texas to have the finest education pos­sible. One son bequeathed more than $2,500,000 to the University. The Hogg Foundation for Mental Hy­giene was established at the Uni­versity in 1941 by the will of another son. Miss Ima Hogg, the Governor's daughter, to whom a first copy of the centennial edi­tion will be presented Saturday, has drawn praise for her work in the foundation.

Hogg~s Birth The name and fame of James Stephen Hogg have stood the acid test of great­ness: he has grown in stature through the years, and today is better known to Tex­ans generally than any other governor of the Lone Star State of past generations, except Sam Houston. Saturday the last of a series of observ­ances of the centennial of Hogg's birth took place in Austin. The feature of the exercises was the presentation of a vol­ume of Hogg's addresses and state papers to Miss Ima Hogg of Houston, daughter of the late governor. This was the first copy of the 500-page book, which was compiled an.d edited by Robert C. Cotner of the university's history depa;:tment. Fitting tributes to Hogg were pa1d by Gov Allan Shivers, Dudley K. Woodward of Dallas, chairman of the University Board of Re­gents, and University Chancellor James P. Hart. The book was presented to Miss Hogg by Dr T. S. Painter, president of HOUSTON POST -December 10, 1951 Federal Aid.Opens Way ' To Federal Meddling RECENTLY REPRINTED IN THE AMA-l rillo News was the veto message which Gov. James S. Hogg wrote in 1893, disapproving the bill which would have authorized the T exes Prison System to accept $200,000 in federal money. At that time the government at Washington was trying to encourage the production of cane sugar in this country, by way of making Ameri­ cans less dependent on foreign countries for their supply. The prison system's farms pro­duced a considerable amount of sugar cane and became eligible for the sugar bounty Washing­ton had offered. The amount, as we recall, was $200,000, which in those days was a nice lit­tle bowl of gravy--or sugar-for a state to get. The legislature voted to accept it. Gov. Hogg maintained that the state would have to refuse. Accept federal money, he said, and we would presently be called upon to ac­cept federal meddling in the state's affairs. He pointed out that Texas was "no pauper or mendicant, but a sovereign state, in fuiJ con­trol of her institutions, capable of repelling with indignation every subtle effort made to destroy her autonomy." Hogg realized that wherever a federal dollar goes, a measure of federal control and over­sight goes with it. The intervening years have seen more and more federal money, and more and more fed­ eral regulation, enter the states. The federal dollar has become something of a panacea, a cure-all. Consequently, today there is scarcely a phase of the individuAl's existence in which 1ed­eral authority does not enter to some degree. All of the federal aid measures have been plausible, some of them have been downright charming; but also, all of them have lessened the autonomy of the state and increased fed­eral oversight over our activities. One of the most plausible and charming is the proposed federal financing of public school education. Proponents view the federal dollar as a pedagogic cure-all .. It will equalize educational opportunity, they say. It will blot out most if not all the admitted deficiencies of the present public school system. All this it will do, they assert, without the loss of one whit of sovereignty by the Individual state. Perhaps. But the bare records of federal subsidies, from the sugar bounty to the deep freeze, lends little support to such a contention. James S. Hogg saw the danger in 1893 anq put prophetic vision Into his veto. What he said deserves to "e well remembered today, before it Is everlastingly too late. SAN ANGELO STANDARD TIMES January 6, 1952 the university. These writings reveal the secret of Hogg's enduring greatness, which was his unceasing fight for the welfare of the common man, and his unalterable devo­tion to the principles of true American democracy. He set an example of states­manship which other public officials who came after him have tried to follow. A high compliment paid numerous other governors through the years is: "He is a second Jim Hogg." The Hogg centennial observances have increased the pride which Texans feel in their first Texas-born governor. And the publication of his papers will further spread and inculcate in the people, pres­end and future, the high ideals which he exemplified and which he once summed up in these words: "Teach your children to obey the commands of God, to love good government and struggle to make it beter."

HOUSTON POST Feb. ll, 1941 "1 -I '1411 Experts Warn Youths May Be Vocational Bums Hogg Foundation Closes with Talks On Job Guidance Need for guidance of youth , along educationa~ and vocational ! lines was emphasized Thursday by main speakers at the closing meet-' ings of the ehree-day Hogg Foun­dation inaugural conference on the campus. Parents, schools, IIJid communi­ties must unite to direct young peo­ple into paths for which they are best fitted, experts told delegates who will form the vanguard of the foundation's statewide mental hy­giene program. • When the final session-a sum­ mary on mental hygiene In educa­ tion-was ended Thursday night, speakers had told listeners almost every way possible that hygiene can be applied to community life. Keeping the million and a half young Americans who enter the labor ranks this year from becom­ ing "vocational hoboes" was des­ cribed as necessary to the preser­ vation of the nation's democracy, a conference leader said Thurs­ day. In one of his numerous !!peeches, Howard M. Bell, job expert with the American Youth Commission, said our national economy must eventually hinge on the intelli­ gent placement of youth in ·work for which he is best fitted. It is the job of the educational system, and espi)cially the high schools, he said, to prepare youth for its job. • "The average parent is neither emotionally nor professionally qualified to assume total respon­sibility of assisting his child to choose his occupation," Mr. Bell declared. At the same time, he pointed out that the home has the greatest influence over most peo­ple growing up. Dr. Frank J. O'Brien underlin­ ed the importance of the home in 1 the guidance of youth. 1 "The responsibility of commun­ ity groups would be primarily to reinforce the efforts of parents and to help them better discharge their duties rather than to relieve them of those duties," he said. • Speaking before the Orienta­tion Council and committee, Dr. E. G. Williamson, University of Minnesota student personnel au-~ pervlsor, listed the problems of the average freshman as being the fear of unpopularity, a conflict of home'schoolloyalties, ignorance of courses inefficient studying meth­ods, and formation of a philosophy of living. Half-and-half education in which the student would spend part of his time in the class room and part in a job was advocated also by Dr. Williamson. "This will prepare a student for the shock of a-world that may have changed completely during the time of his training period," be said.

Bell, job expert of the Amer­ ican Youth Commission; Mrs. Lydia Ann Lynde, specialist in parent education for the U. S. Department of Agriculture; Dr. Titus Harris, chairman of the De­partment of Psychiatry at the School of Medicine in Galveston; and Dr. Boucher. Drs. W illiarnson and Prescott and Mrs. Lynde were widely heard lecturers on Tuesday's program. , In his talk to Austin public school administrators Tuesday af­ternoon, Dr. Williamson declared that a democracy can be better protected by a well-trained indi­vidual than by a trained aviator. "Eighteen months of individual training and a large sum of money :are spent on the training of avia­to~s to defend democracy," he sa1d, "but we will need no avia­1tors if we do not train the present generation to preserve it." Essential to the proper train­ing of a young person, Dr. WiJ. ' I . Hamson pointed out, is recogni-1 out also the views of the psycholo-' gist, the physician, and the edu­ cator. "Our home is still the basic unit for achieving 'human conser­ vation' for ourselves," Mrs. Lynde stated. "We must use all of the newer knowledge in nutrition, health maintenance, and sanita­ tion. We must know about and use our kowledge of emotional stability. All this is necessary if i we are to have the stamina to meet the rising tempo and the pressures of life." Failure of a large number of people to practice the science of eugenics was cited by Dr. May Agnes Hopkins, Dallas physician, as the major reason for "Amer­ ica's large army of people depen­ dent on social and state agencies." Another speaker at the home and family life session, Dr. Hop­ kins called for application of the science of superior breeding of a human race just as sciences such as law, chemistry, and engineer­ ing are applied. "Not until homemaking is recognized as a profession and we especially train our mothers of to­morrow for their responsibility in the home can we approach the : ideal home of the parents cleanly1 wed, the children nobly bred, wisely fed, and firmly wed," she concluded. In a speech to the college per­ sonnel section, Dr. Williamson brought out the increasingly strong inftuence of the school room upon American youth. "Whatever the cause," he re­ marked, "it becomes more clear that we must add further years of both ge,neralized and specialized i training, to the standard four-1 year high school." 1 At afternoon discussion groups, delegates got together on such questions as the responsibility of each citizen for improving the American standard of living, ways of helping a child develop a phi­losophy of life, the problem of aiding children to react intelli­gently to the war-inspired ftood of printed and spoken matter, and the substitution of family democracy for family dictatorship.

Mrs. Cunningr.am was brought here under the auspices of the Tyler Community Council for 1Family Living. J..M. Haddad, president of the council, called the meeting to order and Miss Lillian Peek, co-ordinator oi the council's pt·ogram of activities, introduced the speaker. Mrs. Cunningham, talking on the subject, "Agriculture and the War," pointed out that man· power, materials and morale are j the weapons which must be used 1 in fighting the war. The prin­cipal problems confronting indi· victuals and the nation as a whole f>re those involving production, conservation and distribution, she said. Shortages in labor, machinery, seed and fertilizet· and difficulties of techniques en· countered by persons entering new lines of work have definite bearing on production, as does the use to which farm land is put, Mrs. Cunningham said. She gave as a concrete exam· pie of a change from nonessen· tial to essential war production tho fact that this year many Smith County farmers produced peanuts instead of watermelons. She stressed the importance of 1 conserving soil and water for in· creased production so vital to the war effort. C. R. Heaton, Smith County agriculture agent, .summarized the findings of the conference. He voiced the opinion and com· mon consent of the group that! further study and planning for closer rural-urban co-operation within Smith County should fol· low this initial effort. To this end a follw·up meeting for Nov. 27 at 2 p.m. in the Blackstone Hotel was scheduled. ~--­ TYLER Nov. 16, 1942 job, Mrs. Cunningham has pro· moted better understanding be· tween farm and city groups in the interest of national unity by her work of urban-rural chair· [ man of the General Federation of Women's Clubs. Because of this experience and her conviction that problems which America faces today can only be met by all groups work· ing together and by individuals assuming their responsibility as citizens without waiting for or· ders, Mrs. Cunningham is well qualified to speak on The Farm as a Line of Defense.

"The Japs did not 'ctefeat our men in the Philippines; hun­ger defeated them." The land must be used to pro­duce the right foods, and the De· partment of Agriculture is working With the farmer to adjust produc· !Jon to war, Mrs. Cunningham said. Praising the farm families she said, "They have expended 'them­selves, fully this year, worked like slaves and produced record crops. Never before has there been as much food produced in America." . Of food distribution, Mrs. Cun­nmgham said, "Your brains should be devoted to this big, unsolved problem every day." It has come to the pass where nothing can be transported that can not be justi­fied by military reasons, and those who want to eat had better encour· age local production, for food will no_t be moved around much, she satd. Urging her listeners to use their own initiative about helping in the war effort, the speaker pointed to a potential labor pool of 6,000,000 women under 45 without employ. ment and without small children.

ABILENE REPORTER NEWS Oct. 9, 1942 RELATIONSHlP.,OFt,-­RELIGION AND ~ HEALTH DISCUSSED j Illness, cause of which can be I traced to a wear and tear of the tl'c soul on the body, is nature's way of slowing up the pace al­though theoretically there is no I relntionship between religion and medicine, Dr. Russell L. Dicks of 1 Dallas. rel>gious and health coun-' selor, author and lecturer, said I last night m his public address on "Religion and Health" at Scottish Rile Temple. Dr. Dicks' address was presented under the auspicesof the Hogg Foundation for Men­tal Hygiene of the University of Texas. "There is no purely physical Ill­ness," the speaker declared. "Some spiritual cause can be found be­ hind the sick case. and in many instances the individua1 brings about his own actual illness through constant fear of suffer­ ing and ill health. "Religion has as its function the relief of the tension of life whicb bring about various illness; it must help people to gain a little rest," Dr. Dicks said. "Relaxation is the first step in maintaining health." "Very often people overlook the fact that through religion is gainedthe perspective for living, and out of that perspective comes a quiet­ ness of soul which makes it pos­sible to meet the crises of life with patience and hope. However. onlythrough a mastery of the body and a knowledge of relaxation physicol­ly can that quietness of soul be gained" the speaker said. I Rabbi Henrv Cohen introduced· the speaker, and Chaplain Robert H. Clark of Camp Wallace gave the in'\10Catio!L Dr. Dicks based many of his ob­servations on the part played by religion on health on personal e:<­periences and said th•t throughgaining a knowledge of sufferinghis faith had become more pro­found For five year~. the speaker was in charge of clinical training for theological students at the Massa­chusetts General Hospital during which time hr served as Protestant cl:aplain. Lqter he served three vears as chn plain of the Presby­terian Hospitnl, Chicago; "t the same lime he hdd appointments as instructor in pastoral work and touncilin~! at four th~o1ogical semi. p.aries in Chicago.

Dicks, Texas consultant for Hogg Foun­ dation. Dr. Dicks, teacher, author and lecture: .in fields of coun;eling and m1mstry to the sick is now associate Professor of 'pastoral care at Duke University. [ Dr. Dicks's recommendation for 1 more money to the mental hos-~ pitals affirmed the call for more funds from the Texas Legislature for this eleemosynary division. Dr. Dicks also told his audience of nurses Monday night in a REW lecture in Seton Hospital Nurses' Home Auditorium that inter-per­sonnel relationships between the nurses and the patient will influ­ence recovery of the patient. "Confidence in the nurse plays a major part in the response of the patient to the treatment," Dr. Dicks declared. Crowded conditions in the state hospitals must be relieved if the increasing number of mentally ill a~e to be given proper care, Dr. Dicks stressed. Better equipment for the treatment of the mentally ill is desperately needed in almost every state. Lack of recreational equipment is another problem to be solved. In order to put these refarms into effect more money must be allotted to the state hospitals, Dr. Dicks said. !£HE DAILY T~XA.N February 22 , 1949 DR. BERTHA K.

Caswell Ellis' stimulating address on "The Challenge of the New Era." Dr. EWs. who is a noted educator, is a lecturer for the Hogg Foundation. The address was given at a joint meeting of the Elementary and the High. "School Parent­ Teacher Associations held in ob· servance of Founders' Day. The general public and the other I P. T. A.'s In the county had been invited to attend. Six women from Camden and thr ee from New Wil­lard responded. Effects of World War I Dr. Ellis :;aid In part: "Twenty seven years ago, the great nations of the world flew at each other's throats, killed anJ wounded 33 million men, destroy­ ed more than 400 billions of dol­ lars worth of property, and left a legacy of hates that will plague the world for centuries. Since that war, they have spent billions each year arming for the new wars that are raging now over the en­ tire world, and will destroy prooa­ bly 500 or a thousand billion dol­ lars worth of values. " Also, for the past twelve yearR our country has suffered an eco­ n omic depression that destroyed 200 billion dollars worth of values. caused untold human misery, and left every one with a terrifying sen.~e of insecurity for the future. "Was all this folly committed I by thoughtless :vout ·1 ? Not at all. It was all done by {ull grown adults and led mainly by adults1 with high school and college edu­ cation. What does this show? It I obviously, shows that education of · ·children and youths alone is no longer enough. The problems now are so numerous, the economic, political and social processes so complicated and are changing so rapidly that we can hope to solve them only if we continue some Iorm of systematic education t hroughout our adult years. I "The world is rapidly finding this out. And the individual who ceases all systematic study at twenty-on e, no mat ter how many •.college degrees he may have, will find himself each year becomme less and Jess a ble to understand the civilization about him or to compete with those around him I 1 Iwho do continual study.''

Dr. Ellis pointed out the folly tf Europe in 1914 of spending over $400,000,000,000 in capital and resources and 33,000,000 casualties only to prepare for a conflict that makes the first world war puny in comparison. This condition, he stated was brought about by the leaders of the world adhermg to principles of a past generation and trying to adapt them to the industrial and mechanical era that came about with the turn of the twentieth century. Because of the heavy demands to finance this war and the peace that is to follow many groups are organizing now to fight all types of taxes. One of the first things this group would like to curtail is the money now spent on edu­cation. Dr. Ellis said that the national income was raised from $40,000,000,000 annually in 1900 to over a $100,000,000,000 today because of education.

Gordon, Tuesday's speaker in Freshman Personality Course. Dr. Gordon is assistant dean in the office of student life and a consultant with the Hogg Foun-1 dation for Mental Hygiene at the University of Texas. The Hogg Foundation sponsored his visit. Dr. Gordon, who took his mas­ter'sa and doctor's degrees in guidance and psychology, said that mental health must be a way of life. "Mental health is not a pro­gram of mental calisthenics or something you read about," Dr. Gordon said. "It must be a point of view, a way of life, to establish the dignity and worth of the personality." The problems of college fresh-' men and basic principles of ap­proach to their solution were Dr. Gordon's themes. "Everybody wants success ' the guidance expert stated. "I define success as satisfactory perform­ance in such areas of life as i health, scholarship, finance, reli-1 gwn, morals and personality." He !isted four principles for successfu! adjustment to college life. "The individual should set reasonably attainable goals for himself, accept himself and his limitations, define his system of values and budget his time," Dr. Gordon explained.

The symposium is being sponsored jointly by the Hogg Foundation and a student-faculty committee of the Department of English. Introduced by Dr. R. L. Suther­land, director of the Hogg Foun­dation, Dr. Jones asserted the qual­ity of the written word and to create independent minds which can cultivate the virtues of jus­tice, beauty, virtue, and reason. "Europe today," he maintained, "is sending us teachers, scholars, works of art, and books to show us that we are the last hope for culture and civilization in the Western Hemisphere. What Eur­ ope lacked was not physical de­ fense but spiritual and psycholog­ ical defense. "Today we are defending democ­ racy, the imager of justice, beauty, virtue, and reason," Dr. Jones con­ tinued. "Our danger is not that we should lack enough technicians and skilled workers, but that we should lack enough people who believe that justice, beauty, vir­ tue, and reason should prevail. "It is precisely in such a na­ tional emergency that the virtues tend to disappear unless the schol­ ars abide. We must seek our line of defense in a contemplation of humane relationships. I "We must never trade grammar for guns, or Browning for but­ ter," he· added. I The best service that scholar­ ship can offer to the state in time of war is to hold his position to teach of what is good, and what is good is not that which has yielded to the voices of propa­ ganda, Dr. Jones concluded. Round table conferences relat­ ing to the symposium will be con­ tinued today. Activities of the writer will be discussed in Texas Union 315 from 10 to 11:30 o'clock; the teacher and scholar, in Texas Union 309 from 10 to 11 :30 o'clock; the newspaperman in Texas Union 315 from 11:30 See SYMPOSIUM, Page 3 1 o'clock.

On the schedule is a day of con­ ferences with an array of South­ west professors and studenta. The round-table discussions will be di­ vided into four groups: the writer, the teacher, the critic, and the newspaperman. Following the discussions will be a luncheon, open to the public, at which the chief speaker will be Mr. Jones. Robert L. Sutherland, director of the Hogg Foundation, will preside. The symposium will deal with present resources and future, pro­motion, and enrichment of the cul­tural pattern of the Southwest. It is sponsored jointly by the Hogg Foundation and a student-faculty committee of the Department of English. The program lista such authori­ties as J. Frank Dobie, professor of English; Henry Nash Smith, as­sociate editor of the Southwest Re­view and assistant professor of English at Southern Methodist University; and Donald Coney, University librarian; on the writ­ers' conference. For the teachers' conference there is Rebecca Smith, professor of English at Texas Christian Uni­versity; Charles Child Walcutt, as­sociate professor of English at the University of Oklahoma; and Ern­est E. Leisy, professor of English at Southern Methodist University. Prominent newspapermen who will speak in that conference are William B. Ruggles, associate edi­tor-in-chief of the Dallas Morning News; A. W. Grant, managing ed­itor of the San Antonio Express; and Paul J. Thompson, chairman of the University's Department of Journalism. In the critics' circle are John H. McGinnis, editor of the Southwest Review, literary editor of the Dallas News and professor of Eng­lish at S.M.U.; Cleanth Brooks Jr., managing editor of the South­ern Review and associate professor of English at Louisiana State Uni­versity; and Martin Shockley, as­sociate professor of English at the University of Oklahoma. On all four programs will be a student from the University, John Henry Faulk, tutor in English, will appear on the writers' pro­gram; James H. Sledd, graduate student, format Oxford scholar, and instructor in English, will be on the teacher and scholar confer. ence; Jack Howard, executive as­sistant to the editor of The Daily Texan, will appear as the student newspaperman; and Boyd Sinclair, Texan editor, will be on the critics' program. DAILY TEXAN Mar. 11, 1941 h1teHectual. Symposi~.,; " Stresses Southwest Views Racial prejudice is one of the most discouraging things about the South and Southwest, Dr. Howard Mumford Jones, professor of English at Harvard University, declared here Tuesday in closing a one-day conference of teachers and students on ways of promoting regional intellectualism. -1 -­ Speaking at a luncheon in the 1 s • Texas Union Junior Ballroom, the former University of Texas staff member held that, although the people of the South might not like to face the fact, Hitler's anti­Semitism has an exact parallel with the white man's treatment of the Negro in the South. Dr. Jones's address climaxed a morning of discussion groups in which writers, teachers, critics, and newspapermen emphasized that those things which are strict­ly Southwestern should be played up if the cultural pattern of the region is to be preserved. More than 150 persons attended the meetings of the symposium, whose theme was "Intellectual Pre­paredness in the Southwest." General opinion of discussion leaders in the writers' panel was expressed by J. Frank Dobie, the University's author-professor, who said that the regional writer should first discover the significance of his , environment and then write about it. Turning to another field for an example, he said: "If the builders of the University campus had known and understood the envi­ronment of Texas, the campus would have been entirely differ­ent. Instead of Pittsburghian towers rising to the sun and in­stead of glaring concrete, there would have been shadows--sha­dows to combat the sun." Failure to adopt a Southwestern attitude has caused the critic of this region to be relatively unsuc­1 cessful as far as nationa! recog­nition goes, the three speakers in the critics' meeting pointed out. Cleanth Brooks Jr., managing editor of the Southern Review and associate professor of English at L.S.U., advocated "a true region­alism, formed un-selfconsciously, which would be a literary democ­racy." Critical writing in general in the United States has been prag­matic and utilitarian since 1920, John McGinnis, editor of the Southwest Review and literary edi­tor of the Dallas Morning News, said. In the newspapermens' meeting it was held that the papers of the region have an opportunity to for­ward the Southwestern cultural pattern by promoting the arts and by encouraging the development of the regional characteristics. Dr. Jones in his speech Tues­day ranked lack of intellectual dis­cipline in our secondary schools along with racial prejudice as the two greatest dangers of our pres- See SXMPOSI!JM, rage ~ 1 i6n"ay F~r~ched~l-;dI For Writerand Teachers AUE~arch 20 CUP>-A two- day n or writers, teachers. criti an new spapermen of the Sout est will be sponsored here.

American people must change their idea that secondary schools exist to make the student happy and carefree. Reiterating Mr. Dobie's point, John Henry Faulk, instructor in English, said, "If the regional writer will come close to the peo· pie who live on the soil of Texas, he will see that they are like no one else ... even to the way that Bill Grumbles, a farmer, explains his name by saying he is the cousin of the Fusses and Quarrelses." With Mr. Dobie and Mr. Faulk in the writers' conference was Henry Nash Smith, associate edi­tor of the Southwest Review and assistant professor of English at Southern Methodist University. Leaders of the teacher and scholar panel were Rebecca W. Smith, professor of English at Texas Christian University; Charles C. Walcutt, associate pro­fessor of English at the University of Oklahoma; and James H. Sledd, president of the Graduate English Club here. Speakers at the newspapermens' meeting were W. B.

Cunningham last year was the first on record to follow through from the nationwide conference in Washington, D. C., and state and countywide · meetings, with one on a community level. Dr. Earl Koos, sociologist at the University of Rochester, Rochest­er, N. Y., as the principal speak­er, discussed "The Modern Family In a Changing World." "No longer can a family live to itself," Dr. Koos said. "Ninety percent of today's young couples con­sider the income of the family must come· from earnings of both husband and wife, to meet family needs." This means a change of ideas about family functions to­day, which he listed as earning a Jiving, education centered in the family, religion in the family, rec­reation centered in the home; transfer of ideas and creating per­sonalities. "Schools, churches and clubs still can not compete with the home ln giving ideas to a child, and personality is molded In the home, before the child reaches school age. This Is and should re­main a natural, sincere function of the family," Dr. Koos said. He emphasized the importance of building personalities strong enough to stand against the frustrations and problems of life today. Dr. Koos' address at the eve­ning session followed an afternoon IFamily cOhference Ends Here July 15 A graduate workshop confer­ence on family life problems in the home is being conducted in the Home Economics Building through July 15.

Col­lege, summartzed the reports of hlghlighters for each of the panel discussions. He said that families ~ave been In a bad way the past few years, changing from rural to urban people. and In many in­stances, resultinl In "graveyardsof democracy.'' He said that sociology must teach not oniy eco­nomics but also the importance of such factors as soil building, good livestock, and others affecting the economic system involved. From the standpoint of human personali­ties, he said, love affairs, voca­tions, recreation and religion must be considered, and he emphasized the point that young people In a family want their parents to stay Interested In what they are doing. His summary was based on re­ports of Mrs. Nellie Oravetz of Chicota for the group c&nsidering family responsibilities: Mrs. Joe Caldwell, health and recreation; Tom Prater, home improvement !· and ownership; Mrs. Claud Ken­nedy, reliiJious life in the com-1 munity, and Miss Edythe Mcln-j tosh, home and school.

Mo•l•• :a Fam­ily iJn a Changing World." Dr. Kocs recalled that fifty yenr~ ago the family operated as a unit in which !!fVery member had a part in "making" a living. Today the family "earns" a living-that is, members follow various vocations, due largely I to a the higher pay offered in city 1 industrial plant~. He saiid that thE constant moving from one place to another was a factor in this condi­tion, declaring that 48 out of every 100 f$milies have moved to a r.ew location since 1946, thus making it necessa1-y for parents to change their way of raising children . 1 "We seem to be depending upon schools for our children's education; churches for the~r religious training and social agencills for their recrea­ tional requirements," he said. The ' speaker added, however, that all of the above were necessary to family life, but that we should deper.d on them only f.or supplemental aid in our daily living. In closing he said : "we must mol~ our children's life 1for tne'· next ~ation and provide the -,ri~t "nvironments in the .homes." ·· The 'lltl-'day program opened Mon­day morning, with registration from 11 to 12 o'clock.

E. C. LINDEMAN The Axis and the current war against it are merely episodes in a social revolution which has been in progress for some thirty years or more, declared Dr. Eduard C. Lindeman of New York, social worker, author, and lecturer, in Hogg Auditorium Tuesday night. He was brought to the campus by the Hogg Foundation. Describing the period of social change or "revolution'' as being Ibrought on half-consciously by the "have-nots," Dr. Lindeman de­lclared that the real point of the war was an effort to find a higher standard of living for the masses of the people all over the world. Dr. Lindeman sharply disagreed with those who predict a greatly lowered standard of living after the war. "What we must do, if we ac­complish the purpose for which we are fighting this war, is to get away from the old ecot,~omy of scarcity," Dr. Lindeman believes. "We can have a higher post-war standard of living if we will only utilize our productive abilities and Human Welfare in War Time To Be ~ducator's Subject Dr. Ed~ard C. Lin.deman of New York, nationally known authority on education and soctal welfare, will ~ive three addresses on Tuesday, February 17, under the auspices of the Hogg Foundation.

The last address will be in the Crystal Ballroom of the Dris­kill Hotel at 4 o'clock that after­noon. Dr. Lindeman, who began his career at twenty-one as editor of The Bleaner in Detroit, Mich., has been a member of the faculty at Michigan Agricultural College and at North Carolina College. He served as consultant for the Na­ tional Council of Parent Educa-1 tion, the Works Progress Admin­istration, and as a trustee of the ' National Child Labor Committee. He is also author of "Social Dis­covery" and "The Meaning of Adult Education," two books deal­ing with education and social science. By WARREN BAXLEY machinery to the fullest extent possible." "Yes, the 'have-nots' of the world are on the march, and this revolution is not going to stop until the peoples of the world re­ceive a relatively high standard of living." Along with this revolution, there also exists a counter-revolution of which fascism is the chief func­tion. Fascism, Dr. Lindeman said, merely offers to solve the prob­lem of the standard of living for the people. "To fight the revolution to a successful finish and receive the benefits, we must also fight the counter-revolution; not only in Europe, but in America," Dr. Lin­deman asserted. "The outside enemy in the coun. tar-revolution is, of course, the Axis," he explained. "The enemy within is the fascist tendency in our own way of life."

While we are making our plans for our future after the war, we must take into consideration two important things that at the pres­ ent time cast a blot on our democ­ racy, he believes: the race prob­ lem and the corruption of our political system. • 'Defense Won't End With End of War' Speaking Tuesday afternoon before Austin citizens interested in perfecting defense organiza­tion of the city, Dr. Lindeman made three main points. First, he mentioned the neces­sity for collaboration between professional workers and laymen, declaring that neither group could do the job properly alone. Second, he asked that defense workers, when searching for a solution to an immediate problem, think of the problem in terms of its relation to long-term ideals. "Finally, any defense program should be continuous," Dr. Linde­man said. "Defense won't stop with the end of the war. For ex- OS 0 uca IOn Must Be Reduced' "The war is going to have an immediate effect upon education as well as a. long-1·ange one," Dr. Lindeman said.

The two men discovered, after a hort visit, that they had much in common besides their desire to learn about sociology and sociologi. cal problems. Both of them have adopted Texas, fully and com­pletely. Genial Dr. Koos acquired on one of his early trips to Texas a 10-gallon hat, a belt with a silver buckle and several two-inch steaks. He has been a confirmed Texan ever since and has travelled back three or four times since his first trip in 1948 to apeak at various workshops throughout the state.

Monday. Doc­tor Mira will lecture on "TI1e Psy. chiatry of War." Served in Spain The speaker served as chief psy­chiatrist for the Republican army in the Spanish civil war. "TI1e overworked or exhausted leader may lose a battle," Doctor Mira co11tends, "because he Is too proud to admit that he is worn out and to ask for rest. The psychiatrist, if he is In close touch with the leader, can detect signs of mental strain and failing energies before it is too late. But the psy­chiatrist cannot and must not wait u11til the strain is ovet powering." Advances Plan Doctor Mira has proposed a plan for attchaing experienced psychia­trists to the staffs of military lead­e;s engaged in planning and con­ducting strategy. The psychiatrist's task would be preventive-to super­vise mental hygiene of the com­manders just as specialists in aerial medicine guard the mental and physical health of atr pilots. "The only objecli~ e method of determining the leader's mental fit­ness for his work at any given moment," Doctor Mira says, ··is a simple psychological test, which measures his mental attitude and self-control In approximately 10 minutes. The test is not designed to measure his I. Q., which is, nat­urally, taken for granted." May Find Even Wo.,.. Drunkenness usually appears in wartime, he says, in those soldiers and officers who feel •that they must drink to sustain their cour­age. Prohibition by the army is not much use, because they may find an "ersatz" drink which Is even worse than alcohol. "One method of solving the drink­ing problem in the army," he says, "is by placing identification tags on men who have been found drinking, so that they may be observed close­ly by their superiors, In an attempt to disco\'er the cause of their ex­cessive drinking. The tendency of alcoholics to congregate among themselves is overcome by assign­il1g an alcoholic, as if by chance, to a more stable nondrinklng partner."

SWEETWATER HEPORTER Mar. 9, .L942 -By Betty Luther SIDE-BAR REMARKS IT'S going to be a tough world to live in and it's the women who have the job of keeping that world turning. Dr. Bernice Moore gave a clear picture of the job for U. S. women now and in years to come. She named th~ problems• they will have to face in the home and the changes that will come to education, to life in business and pro­;fession, to thinking. Dr. Moore spoke of the rapidly diminishing "two-parent home" because of the war. She spoke of the recreational proqlems caused by . the concentration of men in military centers and the scarcity of men in other areas. She spoke of the women on day and night shifts in industry and the inevitable necessity of com­munity feeding and of child welfare. For women cannot work eight hours a day and keep up their homes. She said the women who are not 111 industry will have to take on this feed­ing and child care in voluntary service. ~'(o woman will escape. There will be no parasites in the female world of tomorrow's America, you realize as you listen to Dr. Moore. It's interesting to know something of Dr. Moore while you consider the problem of the American women. She was a society editor and then a news reporter. She married a city editor. Now she's with the Homemaking Divi­sion of the Texas State Department of Edu­cation and her husband, Harry ~. Moore, is a professor of sociology at the university. They write articles together.

For through work they will find a certain peace and strength. For men can die only once. And women in war die again and again in their worry and their grief for sons, husbands, sweethearts. Dr. Moore spoke of the changes in religion I with the recognition of the need for a spiritual anchor by all men and women. Women who never prayed, like men who never prayed, are praying and will live in a state of prayer. True spiritual solace will come to persons who have never had u glimmer of the living in the spirit. It has only begun. For the suffering has only begun. And through that suffering, surely women when this war is over, ~ nen 1n industry on an equal ba~is which they would not have obtained in peace time, a basis which thousands of women had not ever dreamed of wanting, surely the women of the United States and of Russia and of England and of other nations, in their key positions, will once and for all make sure that the world will be kept clean and fair, in in­side nations and between nations. Women will not go back to their homes in droves. Few women again will merely reflect the views of the men in their homes as the majority of them do today. Their spirits will be strong, Their hands will be toughened and j lean. Their hearts will be hardened against brutal killing of men. And when the peace is made, surely the women will be there to say their say. And surely after they have said it, they wlll stand surely after they have said it, be no reverting to old and cynical ways.

For she leaves be­hind her many helpful thoughts on mental hygiene, child wel­fare, child guidance and family life. She came this time for a series of meetings with Fort ' Worth public school people. One of these .talks, "The Emotional Climate of the Home" bears special significance for all homemakers. * * * UNLIKE WEATHER, Dr. Moore says, the emotional climate of the home is created by members of the family within the home. "We create that emotional climate by the way we live with each other." Let us go farther with Dr. Moore, wise, &Irs. Oeen intelligent student of human relations, and see just how we can create the kind of emotional climate that is healthy to people within the home. * * * FffiST AND MOST IMPORTANT of all is how the mother and father feel toward each other and how both of them also feel toward their children. In that one relationship alone, she emphasizes, is the key to a happy home and happy people within the home. Dr. Moore quotes a famous pediatrician in this. He says he ean always get better results with a sick <'hild when there is love between the mother and father and when both also show a loving interest in their child. That love is the basis for every healing, he says. Dr. Moore calls love the most positive element in the emo­tional climate of the family. Members of the family, she adds, must not only love each other but they must like each other, and there is a vast differ­ence in the meaning of those two terms when you analyze them. * * * THE ABILITY on the part of members of the family to meet their problems, big and little ones, with courage and humor, is another positive element in the emotional climate of the home, says Dr. Moore. The family also must develop a pleasure and joy in every­day things, have a willingness to put forth an effort to work and also have the ability to play. When members of the family have these positive elements in the home, they can learn and grow, says Dr. Moore in an understanding tone of voice. And as they grow, they become more intellectually alert, emotionally stable, socially effective and healthier. Possibly the most important of all is emotional security on the part of the parents themselves, emphasizes Dr. Moore. .. * HOW CAN PARENTS ACHIEVE emotional security? That question is always asked. First, says Dr. Moore, they can achieve it by seeking to have a broad knowledge of the world, second by seeking to un­ derstand themselves and their children. Third, they must have selfless interests, which are en­ tirely apart from themselves and their family. They muRt ever strive for intelligence and skill in relations with each other and with their children, Finally, they must seek to enjoy living. This last point is another way, adds Dr. Moore, of saying parents need to be mentally healthy. * * * AS SHE DISCUSSES her subject "The Emotional Climate of the Home," she makes us keenly aware of the homemaker's part in seeking to achieve a healthy emotional climate within the home.

Fourth, we need controls from within, for in everything we have to take into consideration the other people with whom we have to live.

Both strc~sed over and over, treating the child as a "person" and encouraging him from the earliest time possible to be self reliant and to work out as many of his problems as his yoars and ability will permit. "Thus very early parents may lay a foundation for successful 1 school lives for their children", they said. They urged "that when a child has entered school, his parents begin at once to co-operate with his teachers j' and work with them unobtrusively throughout the school life of thejchild." One thing stressed by these lec­turers, is that the parents should not seek self aggrandisemcnt, but should ,always be willing to submprge selft and by quiet suggestions, guide thel! child, thus aiding him in making cor-~,. rect decisions. They also showed that the parent should be less and less obvious in his guidance as the child becomes more able to hke care of himself, through all periods of school life, un­til he is scarcely aware of their guidance. One of the things that is outatand­ing in this lecmre tour of Dr. ami Mrs. Myers, i3 their wish to !.elp par. ents and teachers with their child problems. To this end, ihey have in­vited their liR,teners to ask questiOJ.s or ~late their own pa1ticular prob­lems. Jn thts way, t.J::~;y are able to give wise and timely help where it is needed.

"The good they may havr; J accomplished will evidently be noticed for a long time," Boulter said. They closed their series of lectures in the county last week-end.

Blunders which parents make in the upbringing of their chll· DEL RIO NEWS-HERALD dren were given attention in the discussion. The practice of some Feb. 6, 1942 parents in teasing children over speech defects, real or imagined childhood romances, and other things was called a serious error of adults. Parents who lavish af· fection upon one of their children to the neglect of another young· .Iter in their home are damaging the personalities of both children. Parents who wait on their chil· dren too much are doing the tots an injustice, for they deprive the young ones of opportunities in developing responsibilities and self-reliance. When parents differ In opin· ions as to child discipline prob­ lems, said the speakers, let them discuss their differences private· ly and apart from their children, lest the parents lose the respect and confidence of their children.

For this purpose Mr. Hcgg set aside $2,500,­000 in his will for financing the project and for co-ordinating and extending 111ental hygiene services throughout the state. Dr. Robert L.

When Dr, Sutherland visited Beaumont in the fall of 1941, with reference to presentation of lec­turers in this city, he designatedthe Beaumont Council of Social. agencies as the logical organization 1 to present the speakers to the com­ munity, since the agency represent­ ed all social and welfare groups of~· the city. On his recommendation the Hogg Foundation committee was set up, it.s duty belllil to make requests of/ the Foundation for certain speakers, and to plan for their appeamnce with the thought in mind that they be presented to groups throughout, the city to stimulate them in their educalona1 programs. The commit­ tee arranges !or publicity in ad-[ vance, and organizations of the city are privileged to request that the! speakers )le scheduled for appear­ ance before their groups. PURPOSE OF FOUNDATION Dt-. Sutherland has described the purpose of the Foundation he heads as "The setting up of a working1 program of mental hygiene for the people of Texas," and to achieve this end Hogg Foundation speakers have , appeared in over fifty Texas com­munities of all sizes. They have worked with public school officials, with social workers, and with civic organizations, assisting professional workers who deal with people, help­ing them to perfect their technique and skills, and bringing to them the newest developments in their fields ot work. The program of the Foundation has been adjusted to the: changing conditions in a world atl war, trying to help individuals maintain their personal stability in abnormal times. It also provides in­service training for professionalstaffs dealing with war problems in civilian life and has worked direct­ly with some of the military per­sonnel. Groups of the city and this area before which Hogg l<'>'undation speakers have appeared Include so­cial relation groups, the Rotary, Lions and Kiwanis clubs, the s:hools,I Lamar college, and the YWCA.

Philosophy, he said, is not only an effort to understand, it is also a dedication of one's self to the cause of truth. Our personal phil­osophy must theorefore include a surrender of ourselves to the ser­vices of the truth we discover about our world. The world war that is now being waged, he said. is ai war of ideas about what life ought to be. The Axis Powers are offering new ideas that •u·e abhorrent to us. To be strong in defense against them, two lh.ings are necessa·1·y, he de­clared; we have to be utterly clear Gbout the Democratic ideas we are defending; and ye have to devote ourseh•es to putting these ideas into effect.

"Bolster up the morale of youth by showing them that American business and industry are demo­cmtic, for democracy will go on the rocks if business gets rich out of this world war.

She stressed the fact that many do not realize that there is a definite psychology of a uniform It acts on women as well as men, she said. -and it has come-when this need for protection must be set aside and women must themselves be­ come the protector.

She asked the young women not to abandon but to preserve the sancitity of their dreams of ro­mance, of love, of home, of chil­dren, even though to some "those dreams may never be realized."

Smith said Dr. Hutchins' recent speech on the international crisis promoted the voicing of his own opinion. He criticized the university presi­dent's "timid caution" where "reso­lute courage" should exist and said Dr. Hutchins' educational philosophy at the University of Chicago was "negligible." In a radio address Jan. 23, Dr. Hutchins warned the United States that it had not achieved democracy and would lose all chance of achiev­ing it if the nation went to war; that it would lose its liberties in the necessary regimentation for war, and that the nation was not morally and tellectually prepared for war.

Drawing conveniently on quota­tions from Emily Dickinson, Punch, Thomas Jefferson, Plut­arch, and a host of others, Dr. Smith spread about as much lllinois corn as he did American common sense when he declared that the American problems of the future have their roots in issues that remain unsolved in the past. · * "We have an imperfect synthesis of two great traditions in Amer­ican life, both equal in veneration. One is the tradition of morality and the other is the tradition of politics." Americans are taught that their morals can suffer no compromise, while their political 2ense of sportsmanship declares that sportsmanship demands every effort should be made to reach a compromise. This imperfect synthesis results in an intermingling of principles and interests which causes Amer­ Icans to hesitate at doing some­ thing because the principles in­volved seemingly over-ride the interests also involved. Three major issues facing the J!eople today spring from: first, ·the :fact that we are at war; !econd, the fact that we expect to be living in peace shortly, and thirdly, the American hope of :per:fectability of the soul, Dr. Smith contended. "We have chosen war M the least of two evils, but whereas we regard war as the worst of evils there is one that is worse. That is choosing to give in to forces fighting against us. Ask those people living under the tyrllnt's heel in Europe." * But in choosing war as the lesser of two evils, Dr. Smith continued, the American people are in danger of losing a. long war because of their apathetic state toward fighting the war, both as soldiers and as civilians. Their attitude of regarding the war as a dirty job that has to be done, and consequent lack of enthusiasm in regard to the task is endangering the victory of our forces if the war continues for sometime further. Dr. Smith fear­ed that unless the people fighting the war were able to arouse from their lethargy and supply some enthusiasm for the war, our war effort, extended over a period of time, would not bold up. Speaking of peace in a post­war world, Dr. Smith dwelt at length upon Thomas Jefferson and his authorship of the Bill of Rights. "He saw over a hundred and fifty years ago that, with the increase in population and congestion, the individual rights of man would decrease." It is in regard to this decrease in individual rights and consequent increase in governmental control, * DAILY TEXAN March 10, 1943 Says Philosopher-Politician: Nothing Is Perfect:, So Why Worry? I If you want to keep your morale up, find your place and be con­tent. So advised Dr. T. V. Smith last night in Geology auditorium in the last round of his week's bat­tle on the Austin lecture front. Dr. Smith has been delivering two and three speeches a day since b,.e arrived and will probably be pretty well fagged out when he gets on the train this morning to return to the University of Chi­cago. Most of the lecture last night was about things people can do to keep hitting on all cylinders. So, if you're interested in your personal philosophy, you can try these Smithian axioms: Do less better rather than more worse. Realize that there are elements in your environment that you can't control. Don't try to carry the weight of the world-carry your own weight. There's no such thing as perfec­tion, and if you don't watch out, you'll let the imaginary concept of "best" interfere with your achieving "better.'' Remember Alexander Wooll­cott's saying: "Most people spend half their lives wishing for things they'd have if they hadn't spent half their lives wishing." A full house, which looked more middle-aged than others of Dr., Smith's audiences, heard the phil­osopher-politician talk about a problem which is very close to all of us: how to utilize ourselves to the limit of our capacities in­stead of sometimes getting the reds and going into funks. Probably the primary things that get you down are physical ailments, Dr. Smith pointed out. Sometimes a vitamin pill can pull a man out of dumps that no amount o:f spiritual advice can. Then, "Don't set your ideals in too highfalutin' terms.'' Too many people get a Jesus Christ com­plex and think only about doing good-when there's a lot of fun in malevolence. Remember A. E. Houseman's sources of morale-­none o:f them were generous; in fact, he scorned the world, his parents, and everything else. This is t.ruly a case-and there are hun­ dreds of them-where private vices are public benefits. "Flabby, unthought-out paci­ fism too long kept us from play­ ing our rightful role in the world when the going got tough," Dr. Smith said. Altruism and humani­tarianism don't mean much when there's a Hitler around-unadul­terated malevolence is the stuff I for the likes of him. Some more axioms: Knowledge is virtue and self­ knowledge is the highest of all virtues. Know what is within human power and what is not-and do something about what is. The pushes of hunger, appetite, and pride-as found in the Amer­ican businessman, the college pro­fessor who strives to wri~ an­other book, and so on-are as good as the pulls of ideals. "The man who has discovered the joy o:f the exercise of the human mind will be kept from :finding it hot or cold, too early or too late, and all the other lit­tle inconveniences. Grizzled J. Frank Dobie got up ' in the question period and wanted to know what we should do about the morale of the people who hate the New Deal more than Hitler and are more worried about losing some of their wealth than losing the war. His Voice likeWoollcott's ••• Radio Is Smith 1 S Philosophy Carrier By KATHY BLAND The first member of the Uni­versity of Chicago faculty to own a radio, to speak over one, and to broadcast a lecture over one, Dr. T. V. Smith, Texas-born pro­fessor of philosophy, grew up with radio, and in the process gave to the American middle class a conception of its role in demo­cracy. "Because radio tends to culti­vate an elegant use of language, there is nothing like it to carry a voice to all the people," Dr. Smith told a reporter. And this is exactly what he has done. One of the few men to put philosophy into actual practice, Dr. Smith has used the radio and his cap­able larynx in making philosophy a tool of the common man. "Life gave me a load for my larynx, and with the radio it is no trouble to get it off," he said. Telling of his days at the University of Texas when it was a "poor man's school and half the students worked their way through college," Dr. Smith said, "1 was a soda jerker ou the Drag, and every morning served public insisted it was one man 1 up.

March 27, 1951 What to Teach~ Child Is Topic Mrs. Elwood Stt-eet of Houston Addresses Forum of Wacoans on Development of Youth "Americans pin their faith to economic standards. Mothers of today must look at their children and say to themselves, 'I am bring­ing up a daughter for some poor, striving, deserving young man, so I must teach that daughter every­thing that I can to help that young man, or that young man every­thmg that he can do to help that :voung women'," stated Mrs. El­Wood Street of Houston in a lec­ture for Child Study forum mem­bers Thursday at the public library. Is Clever Speaker Mrs. Street, the mother of four children and a grandmother, en­deared herself to her audience with her many clever remarks about human relationships. Mr , Street has been called to attend four White House conferences that are held every 10 yeras for the sole benefit and welfare of children. In the year of 1917 it was brought to the president's attention that there was more care and consid­eration given to raising of "pigs than t'll-that of rearing babies," asserted Mrs. Street. In that year was established the department of labor which is called that merely to keep the child "whole" rather than to call upon several various bureaus in considering the welfare of children. Temper is Natural "Temper Is just as natural as love and affection in a family,"stated Mrs. Street. "The breakfast table Is so often the scene of a battle~ound. It Is good for con­scientwus people to realize that ternper, too, is part of a family pattern. A mother often feels that she carries an unbearable burden. She must create and maintain an emotional balance for every mem­ber of the family. Mother can't afford to have feelings or shed tears; the children become over­wrought at such a sight. Women must give of themselves unselfishlyand they will be rewarded in like manner," asserted Mrs. Street. Mrs. Street commented upon the large divorce rate of America. The solution to that problem is for women to realize that they owe men a lot of freedom. Women must realize that men are not justmeal tickets and a method of fam­ily support but a human beingthat deserves freedom.

DAILY TEXAN Feb. 11, 1941 Experts Warn Youths May Be Vocational Bums Hogg Foundation Closes with Talks On Job Guidance Need for guidance of youth along educational and vocational lines was emphasized Thursday by main speakers at the closing meet­ings of the three-day Hogg Foun­dation inaugural conference on the campus. Parents, schools, and communi­ties must unite to direct young peo­ple into paths for which they are best fitted, experts told delegates who will form the vanguard of the! f~undation's statewide mental hy­g~ene program, • When the final session-a sum­mary on mental hygiene in educa­tion-was ended Thursday night, speakers had told listeners almost every way possible that hygiene can be applied to community life. Keeping the million and a half young Americans who enter the labor ranks this year from becom­ing "vocational hoboes" was des­cribed as necessary to the preser­vation of the pation's democracy, a conference leader said Thurs­day. In one of his numerous speeches, Howard M. Bell, job expert with the American Youth Commission, 11aid our national economy must eventually hinge on the intelli­gent placement of youth in work for which he is best fitted. It is the job of the educational system, and especially the high schools, he said, to prepare youth for its job. • "The average parent is neither emotionally nor professionally qualified to assume total respon­sibility of assisting his child to choose his occupation," Mr. Bell declared. At the same time, he pointed out that the home has the greatest influence over most peo-1 pie growing up. Dr. Frank J. O'Brien underlin­ed the importance of the home in the guidance of youth. "The responsibility of commun­ity groups would be primarily to reinforce the efforts of parents and to help them better discharge their duties rather than to relieve them of those duties," he said. . • Speaking before the Orienta­tion Council and committee, Dr. E. G. Williamson, University of Minnesota student personnel su­pervisor, listed the problems of the average freshman as being the fear of unpopularity, a conflict of home-school loyalties, ignorance of courses, inefficient studying meth­ods, and formation of a philosophy of living. Half-and-half education in which the atudent would spend part of his time in the class room and part in a job was advocated also by Dr. Williamson. "This will prepare a student for the shock of a world that may have changed completely during the time of his training period," he said. DA[LY TEXAN Feb. 14, 1941 Williamson to Speak To Orientation Group Dr. E. G.

Coordinator of student person­nel services at the University of Minnesota, Dr. Williamson will make suggestions for the handl­ing of such services here. His talk will be under the auspices of the Hogg Foundation. DAILY TEXAN Feb. 12, 1941 DAILY TEXAN Feb. 12, 1941 Hogg Foundation Launched Today 500 Expected To Hear Educators BY JACK HOWARD More education, improved nutri. tion, widespread knowledge of eu· genics, and intelligent youth guid­ance as ways to a better race were emphasized by speakers Tues­day in conferences that are to be climaxed Wednesday night at 8 o'clock in Hogg Memorial Audi­torium by the formal inauguration of the Hogg Foundation that will attempt to carry such teaching to the people of the state, More than five hundred per­sons are expected to hear Dr. C. S. Boucher, chancellor of the Uni­ l versity of Nebraska, and Dr. Frank J. O'Brien, director of New York City's Bureau of Child Guid­ance, at the dedication of the state-wide mental hygiene pro­gram provided by the estate of the late Will C. Hogg of Hous­ton, University benefactor. Dr. Boucher will answer, "Who Now Is the Educated Person?" and Dr. O'Brien will discuss "The Personal Equation in :Modern Liv­ing." President Homer P. Rainey will preside at the program. This main event of the day fol­lows, however, a continuation of the rounds of conferences, lunch­eons, discussion meetings, and suppers that got underway Tues­day morning at 9 o'clock and will continue. Meetings, all open, will be held Wednesday by the Home and Fam. ily Life Conference, representa­tives of Texas Eleemosynary In-· stitutions, Presbyterian Theolog• ical students, Austin citizens in• terested in child guidance, direc­tors of University women's resi· dence halls, the Texas Social Wel· fare Association, University relig­ious workers, University faculty members, the campus student bar association, and public school teachers. Leading speakers Wednesday will be Dr. O'Brien; Dr. Daniel A. Prescott, director of the Univer­sity of Chicago's collaboration center on child development; Dr. E. G. Williamson, co-ordinator of student personnel services at the University of Minnesota; Howard M. Bell, job expert of the Amer­ ican Youth Commission; Mrs. Lydia Ann Lynde, specialist in parent education for the U. S. Department of Agriculture; Dr. Titus Harris, chairman of the De­ partment of Psychiatry at the School of Medicine in Galveston; and Dr, Boucher. Drs. Williamson and Prescott and Mrs. Lynde were widely hea•rl lecturers on Tuesday's program. In his talk to Austin public I •school administrators Tuesday af-I ternoon, Dr. Williamson declared 1 that a democracy can be better protected by a well-trained indi­vidual than by a trained aviator. "Eighteen months of individual training and a large sum of money are spent on the training of avia­tors to defend democracy," he said, "but we will need no avia. tors if we do not train the present generation to preserve it." Essential to the proper train­ing of a young person, Dr. Wil­liamson pointed out, ill recogni­ tion of his individual characteris­tics and capabilities. One of the speakers on "The Home Takes Inventory" meeting Tuesday morning, Mrs. Lynde of­fered the homemaker's point of view in a discussion that brought out also the views of the psycholo­gist, the physician, and the edu­cator. "Our home Is still the basic unit for achieving 'human conser­vation' for ourselves," Mrs. Lynde stated. "We must use all of the new.er knowledge in nutrition, health maintenance, and sanita­tion. We must know about and use our kow!E!dge of emotional stability. All this is necessary if we are to have the stamina to meet the rising tempo and the pressures of life." Failure of a large number of peC!ple to practice the science of eugenics was cited by Dr. May Agnes Hopkins, Dallas physician, as the major reason for "Amer­ica's large army of people depen­dent on social and state agencies." Another speaker at the home and family life session, Dr. Hop­kins called for application of the science of superior breeding of a human race just as sciences such as law, chemistry, and engineer­ing are applied. "Not until homemaking is recognized as a profession and we especially train our mothers of to­morrow for their responsibility in the home can we approach the ideal home of the parents cleanly wed, the children nobly bred, wisely fed, and firmly wed," she concluded. In a speech to the college per­sonnel section, Dr. Williamson brought out the increasingly strong influen~e of the school room upon American youth. "Whatever the cause," he re­marked, "it becomes more clear that we must add further years of both generalized and specialized training to the standard four­year high school." At afternoon discussion groups, delegates got together on such questions as the responsibility of each citizen for improving the American standard of living, ways of helping a child develop a phi· losophy of life, the problem of aiding children to react intelli­gently to the war-inspired flood of printed and spoken matter, and the substitution of family democracy for family dictatorship.

PARIS -----NEWS Oct • 19, 1941 'NOTE: This is the first of a series of articles on our State Hospital System, prepared under the supervision of Dr. George W. Jackson, Medical Director of the Board for Texas State Hospitals and Special Schools, and sponsor­ed by the Hogg Foundation for J\'lental Hygiene, o Texas. * * * • Mary L. was a pretty girl. Her dark hair was always freshly brushed, and there was an excited look that often sparkled in her eyes and made her look like a kid at a pony ride. Her eyes had that look the day Ehe got the job with the social service department of a Texas State Hospital. She hadn't hoped · to find work the week after she graduated from coJlege. She sat in the kitchen the night before her job started, watching her mother roJI pie crusts, tasting the sugared cherries, and talking. "I'm so excited, Mom," she said. "This is just the kind of job I wanted. I like to feel useful and helpful to people." Thats what Mary thought. It happened. Working without good behind the walls of nightmare. Mary's supervisor helped her understand Willie and his prob­lems, and Mary spent a lot of time with him. It was she who wrote his father when the doctor said Willie was well enough to be furloughed. And it was she who ad to face that questioning look, who had to meet those miserable eyes, who had to tell Willie that his father didn't want him to come home and bother the younger kids. She had too many patients to be able to get out in the community and find a family who would take Willie into their home. Finally, it was she who wrote in Willie's record, "Patient more disturbed. Privileges removed." Before long Mary was seeing fewer and fewer patients. Routine jobs, paper work, letters and rec-I ords ate up her time. She wasn't those vital notes so necessary to able to keep complete records, understanding and aiding patients. When the director informed them that the social service de­partment would cut their record­ing to the minimum, the inevitable took her a month to realize that the feeling of usefulness was soon mixed with a sense of frustration. The social service department numbered eight -eight workers and a director. Nine workers. 1\j:ore than three thousand patients. That meant that 340 patients look­ed to Mary for help in working out their problems of adjustment, for aid in getting furloughed, for help in placement work after dis­charge. As Mary recognized how much training was necessary to do her job weJI, she enroJled for several courses at the University School of Social Work. She soon learned that willingness and desire could not replace professional training. This case load was more than the social workers could handle adequately, but .Mary tried-just as all of them d1d. She made her records was like trying to fight an opponent in the dark. Record­ings were so sketchy that Mary couldn't even review them to help her professionally, to help her in helping others. * * • The social service department is only one J,olt in the big engine of the State Hospital System. Doc­tors need records; so do the re­search workers. And compiling the information takes man hours. A •hospital cannot plan for the future without comparative rec­ords of the past. Doctors cannot know case loads without statistics. Gathering information for week­ly statistical reports takes vital time away fro~ patients. Black words on a piece of paper. Important words. Words that re­cord job placements, discharge number of patients 1·esults of little office as pretty as she could; • treatments. ' · ..., --: .. she tried to see patients and rela­tives, tried to keep her records of contacts with patients, familiE\S and community agencies up to date. The one secretary used all her time writing the required his­tories and letters. Mary worked with Herman R., the fellow with baby curls and football shoulders, the man whose liquor bottle had become a crutch. She was delighted the day the doctor permitted Herman to take the job she had found for him, stricken the day they brought him back from the police station too drunk to know her. And Mary blamed herself for Herman's re­lapse. She had known he would need encouragement on his new job, but she had not had time to keep in touch with him. Mary wrote careful notes about Willie J., the sixteen-year-old kid whose dark eyes spoke to" her of hidden fears and deep, shaking misery. In the interviews with Willie she could see him looking at her with hope and pleading. She thought of Willie often. He was the boy to whom grown-up terrors and horrible delusions had come with the first fuzz of manly beard. When he should have been thinking of footballs and girl friends and square dances Willie -was fighting his phantom ~iseries IBM machin'l!s can speed the work process immeasurably, can · free doctors, nurses and social workers for th~ir job with pa-1 tients. Knowing all these facts, the Board for Texas State Hospitals and Special Schools has planned better record keeping as the first step on the list of 14 improvement points. A statistical department was set up in August of 1951 and is now compiling case histories on 20,000 patients, gathering material for a comprehensive annual re­port. That much has been done. BUT it takes many people to keep records. And people cost mo­ney. _) The need is great. Ask Mary L. She knows. • RICHMOND COASTER November 6, 1952 NOTE: Th~·she second in a where their old Dodge was parked. is series of artie about our State She could feel the tight muscles be­Hospi~al hind her knees, sore from the hun­ Prsam, prepared under the SUI! vi of Dr. George W. dreds of times of bending over beds or picking up paper scraps.

The other woman too, wore a white uniform and th~ insignia of an attendant. "Guess I'm just jumpy." Lisa moved over to make room for the other woman. "New on the job, aren't you, honey?" The older woman eased her big frame down on the stairs. "It's kinda tough at the beginning." With the chance to talk, Lisa could feel some of the tension ooze out of her body. "It's not just the work. It's the-seeing all you see. People off in a world of their own. Women screaming, thinking somebody's after them and then so quiet they don't make a sound all day. It's-well, do you ever get used to it? The older woman patted Lisa's hand. "I know jest how you feel. Wish you'd never started this job?" Lisa nodded. "Want to quit real fast?" "That's it," Lisa said. "You felt that way too? You did?" "Sure, honey, we all did." The older woman shifted her weight, eased one brown shoe off her foot. "My name's Mildred. Over at Ward B. Know anyone around here?'' "Just my husband." Now that she had someone to talk to, Lisa couldn't get the words out fast enough. "We-just got married last month. There weren't many jobs down home.

Why, I was so miserable and lonesome I packed my paper-backed suitcase the second night and star ted down the hall." Lisa lifted her face. "And what stopped you?" "Well, it was like this. In them days they didn't give the attend­ants tests or examinations or noth­in', and we had some drunks and some pretty mean babes up here. And I got to thinkin', if I left, I'd be turnin' the whole ward back to them ldnd of women. So I stayed. Course, I didn't get no high school education myself but I've been here for years, and I try to be good to the patients." "Bill's finding it tough too," Lisa ~dmitted. "He was thinking of go-mg out Thursday, on our day off, and looking for another job." "Well, now honey, you do what se~ms right. But in a way, you might decide you're better off right here. You get $100 maintenance money between you. Right?" Lisa nodded. "And 80 apiece to begin with besides that? Seems to me you oughta be gettin' ahead a lit­tle. Besides, if folks like you and me, who do some carin' about those poor souls, leave here, who's gonna look after them? Want to turn the job back over to the drift­ ers and the drunks?" I "!-never thought of it that way," Lisa confessed. "Why, honey," Mildred went on, smoothing out her wrinkled white skirt, "you don't know how much better things are than they usta be. We get sick leave and vacations and holidays. And what with all 1 the testing them psychologists do before we come to work, we get shut of a lot of mean ones and drifters. Why, you can't get a job unless you got a high school edu­cation, and used to be we had some workers who couldn't hardly read or write." "And you get examined and shot for all kinds of diseases," Lisa ad­ded wryly, rubbing the bruised place on her arm. Mildred rose, patted her hair. "It may look hard now, honey. But things are gettin' better. Stick it out, will you? We need you young ones with a heart." Lisa rose too, and suddenly she looked young again-and alive. She thrust out a hand to Mildred. "I'll be around. "Bye now, I've ~ot to hurry over to Bill. See you again." • I Texas has jumped, in the last year, from a State whose hospitals were among the worst in the na­tion, to a State with a plan for a com lete, modern personnel pro-similar to those used in the nation's most successful industries.
