Z" Adolescence - Mr.. Goshen handled
the subject IN his usual scholarly man
ner. bringing out the salient points in
regard 10 this most important and try
ing period in the growth and develop
ment of young people. He explained
John Fisk S theory that the lengthen.
ing of the period of human infancy has
meant more TO the growth and develop
ment of the race than any other one
factor, and he went so far as to say
that the teacher or the parent who
seeks to shorten this period does a great
wrong, not alone to the individual, bur
to the race, He quoted in interesting
fashion from such specialists as G
Stanley Hall, Baldwin aud Charles
Bushnell, men who have devoted their
whole lives TO the study of this inter
esting period and to the dealing with
It's vagaries and its alleged faults.

pal of the Oquirrh school, followed

who deal with young people in broad
| CT sense.
