Matinee Music Club.

The Matinee Music CLUB culml
mated it's study program for the sea
son on Saturday afternoon at the
home of Miss Hattie Mai Clemmons
Rives, the final subject being "IndiaI
Music" with an interesting discourse
Fon "Folk Music of the Red Man" by
the leader, Miss Willie Belle Mayes
A pleasing feature of the meeting
was the splendid report from the
Tennessee Federation of Music Clubs
of the past weeks convention al
Paris, Tenn, given by Miss Edith
Quinn, the club representative to the
State Federation. Miss Quinn was
especially gratified to report the high
standing of the Union City Matinee
Music Club in the federated body
In appropos of such honorable rank
ing, brief recapitulation of the &C
tivities Of the past club season may
be presented:
The club has had a most success
full year under the direction of its
president, Mrs. Thad Lee. With a
primary object-and that to develop
end promote local talent, it's unit of
membership, consisting of twenty
jealous musicians, compose an or
ganization that has been termed a
minute example of artistry. The gen
eral topic of study for the year,
"Phases of Music" has been one of
the most interesting ever conducted
by the club. 1t has included the fol-
lowing SUBJECTS: Musical Life"
"Music of Wonderland, "Art Mu-
2ic," Humorous Music" Emusic of
ituals," Indian Music" These sub
jects have been tremendously rein
forced at each meeting with a mu-
steal program in keeping with the
study outline.
The Matinee Music Club has de-
voted much time and thought to COM
munity work. Many calls from the
civic commissions of the city are be-
ing answered, and realizing the truth
that music will always necessarily be
something of philanthropy, many
community music movements have
been carried on within the confines
of the club membership. An outline
Of musical ''first-aid" for the past
year includes piano, voice and organ
as club contributions to ma
ny Sunday afternoon programs at
city theatre, given under auspices of
Christian Endeavor welfare work;
also four presentations of an operet-
ia, all for the benefit of city play
grounds; a benefit musicale given for
community nurse, as we'll as other
ri
Realizing that the great mission of
every musical club is to develop taste
for good music, the Matinee Music
Club has endeavored to fulfill its
by rendering two-fold serv-
ice, namely, that of creating whole
some musical ideals as we'll as CIV
ing aid to the material needs of hui

Which among those activities drop out
or change as age advances? What Is the
significance foi the later makeup OF the
individual OF those that remain In the
stream of activity How are they tied to-

One of the activities that appears early
in the life of almost every baby is the in

Ali these and many other interesting
discoveries which are expected to prove
OF the greatest importance to parents and
their children are the result of remark
able series Of experiments which Prof.
John B. Watson and his wife, Resale Ray
ner Watson, recently made in the psyche
logical laboratories Of Johns Hopkins Uni
yersity with more than five hundred very
young babies.
Professor Watson has long been famous
for his studies Of the behavior Of dogs, rats,
and other animals. While making these
he became convinced that our own babies

500 babies, ranging from a few days
to year In age, and began experiment
ing with them. They were able to assure

Although DR. Watson has not yet col Z

when this primitive Instinct OF grasping

months II means that the child is not nor

Of activity begins to take It's place In the
baby-that OF extending the hand for an
object, grasping II and carrying II to the
mouth or manipulating II In other ways.
This, Dr. Watson says. is probably the
most fundamental group Of activities ap-
pearing in man, and his experiments show
that IL Is partly hereditary and partly
learned.
In the tests for reaching which Dr. and
Mrs. Watson made with many OF their five
hundred babies the subject Is seated In
the lap Of an assistant In q well-lighted
room. The experimenter takes stick OF
candy and slowly extends II toward the
baby. After the lips have been touched

AS the days go by says DR.. Watson In

given weekly practice at 1t for several,

for almost any object presented, and this
fact supplies another useful standard for
measuring child's mental Development. I.

by these reaching tests Is that baby win
reach out for practically every object but
that It will not deliberately avoid any OBJ

for doing SO. II q lighted candle IL brought

The popula- idea that baby Is foolish

found that IN no case would babies reach

of the child's hands and arms would never

These and other tests that were made

q rat had been accompanied several times
by the noise OF q hammer blow on steel
bar. the baby's fear response became so
conditioned that the sight OF rat alone
was sufficient to produce It., Later expert
ments proved this fear to have been trans.
ferred to dogs and other animals. which
before his association of the rat with dis
turbins noise had only amused him.
This makes II easy to see how all sorts
Of these conditioned fears may contin.
ually be developed In children. !. A child
that has gone willingly to bed for years
without a light may suddenly become con-
sditioned to fear OF the dark through the
loud slamming OF a door or an unexpected
clap OF thunder.
Some day, when science has gone on
with the studies recently begun in the
Johns Hopkins laboratories, Professor and
Mrs. Watson believe we shall come to
understand the original tendencies OF
babies so thoroughly that we win be able
to select the proper vocations for them
while they are still In their cradles. With
the knowledge which can be. gained from
further studies in infant Psychology there
would never be any doubt as to the sort
of education child should receive, and
every body and girl could be assured OF a
happier and more successful future than Is
