QUESTIONS ON THE GRANDPARENTS

1. What have been the general tendencies in social treatment of
the aged?

2. What are some of the social needs in respect to public and
private health, vocational training, wages and standards of
living, family and personal insurance and educational
opportunities which must be met if old age is to be prolonged

3. What should be the aim of youth and middle life in respect to
preparation for old age?

4. Read _Old Age Support of Women Teachers_, by Dr. Lucille Eaves,
_A Study in Economic Relations of Women_, by the Department of

Boston, Mass., and read "The Trade Union and the Old Man," by
John O'Grady, Catholic University of America, published in
_American Journal of Sociology_ of November, 1917. Are the
suggestions in these articles along needed lines?

to; that he should fight in behalf of his kin and be feared; that
he should be security on behalf of his kin and be
accepted."--WELSH TRIADS (cited by Seebohm).

"I cannot choose but think upon the time
When our two loves grew like two buds;
