ready for action and took it im-
mediately. The House Interstate
and Foreign Commerce Committee
proceeded in exactly the other di-
rection, letting the bill rest for
an extended period in order that
any opposition could allowed to
develop."
"Politically, this is a technique
for ascertaining public reaction to
the bill and is well adapted to
committee chairmen who have
sensitive antennae," he said.
The President was fully aware
of its existence and the bill was
included among those he wanted
passed before Congress adjourned.
Eventually overcoming opposi-
tion and frustrations from the
banking industry: a government
official, James J. Saxon who was
comptroller of the currency; and
the insurance industry, the bill was
redrafted. A final obstacle came
from foreign securities, but the
bill passed the House and the Sen-
ate.
After all the work, if the bill
had not passed by the end of the
session, the entire process would
have had to be started all over
again, Prof. Cary said.

are "too good for their own good"
and that they have an overriding
fear of losing their families' fian-
cial security.
Barron says the youngsters in
the St. Louis suburb are typical of
16-year-olds in well-to-do areas
which have achieved "the Ameri-
can dream of affluence and secur-
ity." But he says they are paying
"a terrible price because of the
enormous pressure on them for
good grades and success in later
life."
"We were staggered to learn
how much the pressure of getting
into college bears on them," Bar-
ron said.
The study showed that 54 per
cent said they had cheated on
exams, indicating the pressure
that was on them to get good
grades, he said, noting that 86 per
cent of the 16-year-olds had sign-
ed an honor code not to'cheat and
to report any cheating. Most are
high school juniors.
The results of Barron's survey,
which began last September, will
be used by CBS-TV tonight in a
special network program.
Results Presented
Barron presented the results
yielded by his questionnaires and
interviews to school officials,
teachers and students this week.
The president of the student
body agreed that the analysis of
his schoolmates was accurate.
Barron reported that the main
goal in life for 77 per cent of the
16-year-olds he studied is "a
good-paying job, money, success."
In virtually every category of the
study, knowledge is considered at
best a by-product of education,
only vaguely necessary for success
in life.
Good Grades
When asked what worried them
most, the majority listed good
grades. But when asked what went'
into the makeup of a campus lead-
er, scholarship ranked last.
One youngster told Barron.
"Learning isn't fun. I learn be-
cause the end justifies the means."
And when asked what is essen-.
tial to success in adult life, the
pupils ranked "getting along with
people first and intelligence" last,
even below "compromising your
principles." .
Intellectuality Lost
"I fear that genuine intellec-
tuality is being lost in the shuffle,"
Barron told the school adminis-
trators, "despite some of the most
remarkable teachers I have ever
seen."
The materialism of the young-
sters, Barron said, is due to "pres-
sure to achieve a 'grades ticket'
to the kind of life their parents
want for them."
"These kids believe they have
bought an insurance policy on life
and that the premiums are grades
and good behavior," Barron said.
General Concept
Barron contends that the gen-
eral concept of the teen-ager does
not apply to the Webster Groves
16-year-olds. He said they are not
rebellious, very few have been in
trouble, homework takes by far
the greatest amount of their out-
of -school time, and they have very
conventional a t t i t u d e s about
drinking and sex.
"These are good kids," he said,
"committed to the values of mid-
dle-class society, oriented to suc-
cess, materialistic, but faintly an-
tiintellectual.
"And they're living for the fu-
ture," Barron said. "There is very
little idealism. They think happi-
ness is a big house, two cars and
a lot of money."
Barron, who holds a doctor's
degree in sociology from Columbia
University, chose 16-year-olds for
his study because that is the age
at which youngsters can drive,
drop out of school, "and the age
at which many seriously begin to
question themselves."
The study was made in Webster
Groves, which has a population of
30,000, because Barron and the
University of Chicago's National
Opinion Research Center felt it to
be typical of the upper middle
class suburb which is becoming so
numerous in this country
The city has a median income of
$8,700 compared with the national
average of $5,660, and almost 74
per cent of the workers have white
collar jobs, compared with 32 per
cent nationally.
"These kids to a certain extent
have lost their youthfulness,"
Barron said. "They are passion-
ately concerned with their careers.
They are pathetically eager to
please their parents, to make their
parents proud of them. One won-
ders if they have not been molded
too much in our image at this
tender age."
