Immigrant ancestors, he rejects ' his father as an authority, and ^xpects his sons to reject him." 7T- This is one of the extraordinary statements made in an article called "The American Character," published in a re- Cent issue of a national magazine, and written by an Englishman, Geoffrey Gorer. ? The entire article is possibly de- Signed to exasperate American tvomen, for most of Gorer's slightfag generalities are incorrect, or, if true, are also true in an even more -deplorable degree of all modern nations, including his own. But today I am only discussing his references to the attitude of American boys to American fathers. It is his idea that generations back our migration from the older world had the effect Of making us despise that world, and that "the making of an American demanded that the father Should be rejected, both as a model and a source of authority." That we are no longer emigrantininded, that thousands of us never teere, that most of us brought with as strong religious ideals embodying respect for parents, evidently does not worry Gorer. All through our history, in letters and biographies, family love and unity are stressed as they are stressed in the books of no other nation. Hasn't he read any of them? In most American homes, excluding the tiny fringe of incalculably rich folk, and the still-emigrant-minded newcomers, Dad is a loved and important figure; all problems, plans, pleasures are brought to Dad for the final word. Nothing in Gorer's article indicates to me that ha knows the small-town, modest income, typical stijburfc at all. Yet thgae are Ameridr"" "I 5%. Norris in today's column comments upon a magazine article called "The American Character," by Geoffrey Gorer, an English writer. Gorer notes particularly that the American father does not bald the position of authority and dignity that be does in England amI other European countries. Sons do not respect their fathers, continues Gorer. He attributes this attitude to an American tradition of rebellion, banded dourk from the Colonists. Miss Norris replies that be has drawn the wrong conclusions from externals. Fathers im America nowadays expect to he considered as pals, insofar as possible, to their sons, rather than stern patriarchs. Affection and genuine respect, rather than awe and fearf are now the emotions that fathers hope to inspire in their sons. --these Helen Hokinson figures at which everyone pokes so much fun spend a considerable portion of their time in plotting how young homes may be kept together, how the love between a man and his son may be kept unbroken.
