! MAKING A STUDY
OF THE CHILD
Newton Parents Glass An interesting
On.. Griffin Youth On College
Grain Judging Team

Newton, Oct. 22.-The Parents
class of our Sabbath school have un.
der way a proposition which should
be sufficient incentive to enlist the
cooperation of every parent either
prospective or otherwise in ITS cause.
They have under discussion in their
weekly class 1.-THE Psychology Of the
/ Child" and considerable interest has
been manifest therein. They nov
propose to bring to our town an emf
nent authority on child psychology
who will deliver a series Of lectures
on this very important topic. The lee
turer is none other than Prof. j. L.
Hickman head Of the Normal depa.t {
ment of the Brigham Young College
Prof. Hickman needs no introduction
to our citizens for in his visit to us.
two weeks ago, his remarks were SUIT
ficient to convince us of his ability 10
handle this subject which should be
of the greatest Importance to all tIe
parents. We spend great amount OF
time and money nowadays IN imprOv-
ing the blood of our horses, cattle,
sheep, pigs and poultry and in improv-
ing our various farm crops ETC., and
in our rush to excel each other along
these lines we have almost lost sight
of the child. We seem to have the
mistaken idea that he is just as good
as he could be; we allow him to grow
up under our careless methods Of
government, when sooner or later We
awaken to find our child slipping from
our grasp, becoming an outlaw IN
many cases, all because he was not
understood by us. We lacked the
necessary knowledge that would Keep
him under our charge and direc ion.
Again, a proper understan Ing OF
psychological principles gov rniug the
child during the prenatal state would
aid all parents In rearing better chill
dren All these subjects and manv
others will be handled In all inter
esting manner by the professcc In ais
lecture series. We should NOT mss
the course. Parents who are inter
ested should confer with the class
leaders for any additional mfMma-
ton.

The work on the new steel bridge
progresses slowly. The grading OF
the approaches has been completed
and the work OF sinking the piers on
either side is done, and viii soon be
n readiness for the steel spans thai
shall carry the bridge. Citizens are
anxious to see the work completed
and are just a little curious to know
what action the railroad officials will
. take relative to the proposed subwa,
beneath their tracks on the souti
side. 1t is to be hoped that they will
decide to have one erected and thu.
give us an unobstructed road to oul
