I Would
Say This
By Dr L S. Williams
What are the best items of
equipment and the finest
methods for training children?
How should parents discipline
their girls and
boys? To these
questions,
there are no
short and
magic answers.
On the
other hand,
। there are some
principles and
procedures
which can be
1 employed
helpfully. The pining for the
old days of the razor strap is
no good. That device served its
purpose well for a long time. 1
believe that its principal value
was in the fact that it existed
as an instrument of correction
and that it was available all the
time. “I’ll get my razor strap to
you” brought many children in
line 1 know a high school
principal who used the old
razor strap for years in the
school program with outstand
ing results.
Ihe switch and the hair
brush also filled some enduring
places in the arsenal for paren
tal control. They have faded
from the scene and for them,
there have not been any substi
tutes.
Another development has
created a problem in family
discipline Ihe preparation of
school lessons in the home at
night, was once a family exer
cise I his was true in my own
home The first awareness I
had of books, lessons and the
use of memory came from this
experience in the family circle.
Now the families are not
together for such a task.
There is another factor also,
100 often, parents are not
qualified to give much help.
I his is no reflection on them.
Knowledge has increased and
the materials now used were
not covered by parents because
so much did not exist. One
father was considering some
help for his son as he prepared
for the work in school the next
day He was stalling in making
the decision His wife gave this
word of encouragement "You
had better help him now. Next
year he will be in the fourth
grade "
Home discipline is based on
love primarily. I his is rein-
Cecil Chapman Named
Man of the Year
Cecil Chapman, State Con
servationist for the Soil Conser
vation Service, U.S. Depart
ment of Agriculture, has been
named “1968 Man of The
Year” in service to Georgia
agriculture by The Progressive
Farmer.
The announcement and pre
sentation of the award was
made by Vernon Miller, Editor,
at a special meeting in Auburn,
Alabama, of Alabama Men of
The Year from previous years.
At the same honor cere
mony, Miller presented a simi
lar award to Richard Beard,
Commissioner of Agriculture
and Industries as the Man of
The Year in service to Alabama
agriculture.
The January issue of The
Progressive Farmer will carry
the announcement of both
Chapman’s and Beard’s awards.
In announcing the selection
of Chapman, the magazine’s
editors said, “Chapman em

strong information effort.
“Georgia now ranks either
first or second in watershed
activity in the nation as a result
of locally initiated projects.
1 he state is second in number
of projects, first in number of
multiple-purpose projects.”
Chapman entered govern
ment service in 1933 with the
United States Department of
Agriculture and joined the
search for a solution to the
problem of soil erosion. In
1934 he helped with the test
ing of erosion control techni
ques that later became the
backbone of the present-day
soil and water conservation
program in the Southeast.
Chapman, who directs all
SCS activities in Georgia, has
worked closely with Georgia’s
27 soil and water conservation
districts for more than 30
years. SCS provides technical
soil and water conservation
assistance to Georgians through
a Memorandum of Understand
ing with Districts.
He has long encouraged Dis
trict supervisors to develop and
carry out long-range land use
plans. In the past few years
SCS under Chapman’s direc
tion has promoted comprehen
sive land use planning and co
operation with area planning
and development commissions.
“It’s the total effect of the
more than 100.000 land
owners and operators cooperat
ing with soil and water conser
vation districts and the whole
hearted cooperation of so
many dedicated individuals and
groups that make Georgia the
conservation leader she is,”
Chapman said.
The Progressive Farmer, one
of the nation’s leading farm
magazines, has been honoring
outstanding leaders as "Men of
1 he Year” since 1937.
