THE MOTHERS CLUB.


"The Development of the Nervous
system" was the subject OF an nstruc-
tive paper read by Miss a. l.. Marlatt
before the Mothers club yesterday af-
ternoon. Beginning with the first APP
pearance of the primitive streak" the
growth of the complicated network of
nerves was followed i'm minute detail
by the speaker pausing at each sepa-
rate stage of development 10 note the
comparison of that attainment with
those preceding.
Miss Marlatt laid much stress on the
danger. of demanding a child TO exert
nerve power beyond his age. "A child
cannot accomplish through nerve con-
troll as can the adult. Many teachers
fail 10 recognize this fact. and demand
of young children reason and results
they cannot possibly give. The per
mature development OF brain and nerve
cells often leads to an enfeebled state Of
the intellect in later years and the child
who is abnormally bright at years is
quite apt to fall behind his class at 10
or l2.'
Miss Marlatt also cautioned the
mothers of young children against al
lowing them to force either brain or
nerve 10 the point of exhaustion, as
the system of the child was not only
to build up the wasted energy, but to
supply material for continued growth.
and such "a severe strain would be dis
astrous 10 the health of the child al
though the effects might not be imme-
diately apparent. That careful stu
dent OF the child. DR.. Nathan Oppen-
helm. was referred to several times by
the speaker. his works containing much
valuable information on the subject OF
developing the nervous system.

STREET IMPROVEMENTS.
WORK ON HAND AND IN CONTEAt.
PLATOON

AT the last meeting OF the Councils
the Local Board OF Brambleton was au-
thoriZed to shell, gutter and curb seven
streets in Brambleton. One of these
thoroughfares being Kelly avenue. 1t
would be hard to find a street in worse
condition than this one. Claiborne AVE-
nue. is another street that needs repair
ing, especially at the intersection of
Park. There is much heavy hauling
from the Virginia Beach depot, and
wagons have cut up the unimportant
streets and In damp weather portions of
Claiborne avenue is impossible for
teams heavily loaded
1t is said that soon the repairing the
Brambleton streets will be going ahead
with energy.
The street force has completed the
brick laying on Chapel street to Nose
ley. and the foundation has been pre-
pared 10 Calvert street. If the wea Their
continues mild and dry this work will
be finished to Mr. Easts factory in one
more week
The large iron pipes from McCul-
loughs dock to the electric plant on
Cove street have been put down from
the dock to the City Hall.
The street, Sewer and Drain Board
have all the information desired to es-
Innate the cost OF opening Tripoli
street. and will make a report TO the
Councils at next meeting.
Yesterday crossing was being put
down on Main street in front of the
Citizens Bank
