O It*' lllrtiu cn M I C Matthew's grief was devasta­ ting when he lost his fledg- ' ling pet. But he had known it only 36 hours! Contrast his sym­ pathy with the sadistic attitude of many youngsters who delib­ erately try to hit raccoons, opossums, doves and squirrels that may be on the automotive highways. Yet both attitudes are taught! By - George W. Crane, Ph. D., M.D. CASE H-595: Matthew, aged 9, is our daughter Judy's old­ est child. Last summer he found a baby robin on the ground, with a large glistening blacksnake a- bout ready tp devour it. Quickly Matthew rescued the robin and brought it into the house. Alas, it had a broken leg, but otherwise it seemed chip­ per and would chirp. So Matthew, plus Peter and Debby, aged 8 and 7, diligently dug fishworms to feed the lit­ tle robin. That night they placed it in a cardboard box, lined with fresh grass to serve as a soft bed. At 6:15 next morning, I was awakened by hearing Matthew head downstairs to be sure his baby robin got some more worms. * Matthew wouldn't leave the house for more than an hour at a time because he said the robin would need frequent feed­ ings. That night we splinted his broken leg, which may have caused surgical shock. For the robin soon grew sleepy. Then it lay on its side while Matthew anxiously watch­ ed to see that it continued breathing. Before the children headed for bed, the little bird died. Peter and Debby stood around in anguish, but Matthew was gone. "Where is Matthew?" I ask­ ed and Debby told me he was upstairs, crying. So I went up to try to con­ sole him, for a pall of sor­ row hung over the household, as if a human being had pass­ ed away. Matthew was disconsolate but I reassured him that he had saved the robin from the snake and had made him happy for an extra day with the many worms he had dropped in its opened mouth. Moreover, I told him that it might have been so crippled that it couldn't have survived anyway. Next day he dug a grave on the hillside where we have bur­ ied several pet dogs and cats over the past 20 years. Then he tenderly wrapped the little robin in pink tissue paper and placed 3 roses on its body, before closing the box. And he took a white cross that had contained roses for the grave of his crippled lit­ tle brother, Jamie, who, died just 2 years earlier. This white cross was placed as a monument over the rob­ in's final resting place, as afl the children were saying a tear­ ful farewell. But the reason I mention this example of sorrow at an early age, is to show why some chil­ dren are sympathetic after they reach adulthood whereas others are callous and cruel. For sympathy vs. cruelty are attitudes that develop in child­ hood. Every human infant has the potential to be a saint but he can also become a sadistic Nero or Hitler, depending on how his idealism has been nurtured or stunted by his human environ­ ment. Many teen-agers actually race their cars in the hope of striking a dove or squirrel that is on the highway. They regard killing animals as sport, just as many other teen-agers vandalize homes and wantonly destroy valuable prop­ erty, just for "kicks". So the faithful FBI and our police officers can never handle all the problems of law- enforcement, unless more par­ ents and teachers plant an in­ ner policeman, called "consci­ ence", in the brains of kid­ dies!

Figures compiled by the Driver Education division of the office of the State Superin­ tendent of Public Instruction, indicate some 180,000 students will receive certificates of suc­ cessful completion of driver ed­ ucation courses during the 1969-70 school year. The Illinois State Bar assoc­ iation notes that the driver ed­ ucation course, although a re­ quired part of the high school curriculum in any school dis­ trict, has taken on new popu­ larity as a result of the state's new Driver License law. That law, which became ef­ fective in January of this year, raised the mi nimum age for ap­ plicants for driver's licenses from 16 to 18. However, the law contains an important exception to include younger applicants- ages 16 or 17-- provided they have successfully completed an approved course in driver ed­ ucation. The law also provides that a person who is enrolled in a driv­ er education class may obtain a diiver's instruction permit as earlyas age 15. Such a per­ mit may be issued to a per­ son between the ages of 15 and 21 who is enrolled in an approved driver education course offered by any public, private or parochial school, an approved governmental agency, or an approved commercial school. According to the ISBA, any school district offering a high school curriculum -- that is, grades 9 through 12 -- must of­ fer a driver education course. Four dollars out of the eight- dollar fee paid for each driver's license issued in Illinois goes to support this program. The course that is mandatory upon the state's public schools is known technically as „"30 & 6". Based on the standard set by the National Commission on Safety Education of the Na­ tional Education association, the course provides 30 hours of classroom instruction and six hours of "behind-the-wheel" instruction, or its equivalent. In Illinois, however, "30 & 6" is a minimal standard and most schools offer many additional hours of driver education. The hours of practice driving must be taken in a car with dual operating controls and under the direction of a licensed in­ structor. Practical experience in a simulated situation or on a driving range may also be accepted as part of the six-hour requirement.
