Show "Flapper" Merely Following Example Set by Grown-Ups During the War By EVELYN W. ALLAN, High School Principal, Detroit. Grown-up women cast aside conventions and originated flapperism during the war, and they're still at it,, so how can the young girls be expected ex-pected to be any different? Parents make the standards of social life and if we keep having wars neither the boy nor the girl can be blamed for what they do. But with it all the budding womanhood of our nation is just as good as their pioneer ancestors who rode the covered wagons. The biggest big-gest trouble with parents today is they don't understand their children; they are uninformed as to their characteristics. Newspapers should stop flaunting the faults of adolescents and devote more time to playing up their good points. There are plenty to be found and they outnumber the shortcomings. Modern girls are superior to those of past era3 in every way. They are stronger and healthier, turn out more work and in general carry on in fine shape. |
