The growing tendency of, modern
education is to emphasize individual
differences in children" said DR..
Meek when interviewed recently at
the national headquarters and club of
the association, where she has her Of

ards of education, the child was made
to fit the school. Educators are now
trying to fit the school to the child
The child is receiving more attention
from the scientific world today than
he has ever had before, and from this
concentrated study has grown the
realization that, as society is now
constituted, the home is the greatest
influence for good and evil which is
brought to bear on his development" :"
In explaining the program of adult
education which the American Asso-

Similarly. emotional and mental
habits become firmly esta blished
under the loving eyes of parents who
are blind to their Importance or i'm
potent to cope with them. A child is
permitted periodical spasms Of un-
controlled temper because his faith
er has always had bad temper" He
becomes difficult to please with food,
because the attention attracted by
his obstinacy at the dinner table is
pleasing to his young ego. Then there
are children who are mentally lazy,
and the unfortunate little ones with
an inadequate mental heritage, who
need careful guidance and special
training. 1t has been learned that not
all of these conditions are inevitable,
that there is a scientific remedy for
a great many difficulties, and that
the application is frequently within
the power and ability of the parent.
Age Little Studied.
The study of the pFe-school child
concerns an age about which com
paratively little is yet known" DIR.
Meek commented. For this reason
it offers at once a challenging and a
difficult field to the university women
who have chosen to undertake il
with the hope of adding materially 70
the research which has already been
accomplished"
The present program of study is to be
carried Oh in small rouud-table groups
OF university women among the 297
branches of the association, which are
scattered all over the country. These
groups. several to some of the larger
branches, meet once a week or once
every two weeks for reading and discus
sion. Topics recommended in outlines
and bibliographies sent out by DR.. Meek,
the educational secretary, form the basis
of their study These topics include such
subjects as the physical development
and health Of young children. behavior
characteristics Of young children, the
nursery school. mental hygiene of chill
dren and Individual differences Of chi
dren.
The Washington branch of the Amer
lean Association of University Women
is at present forming such study groups
under the leadership Of Mrs. James
Madden. educational chairman. Two
groups led by DR.. Louise Brown and
Mrs. H. +. Payne, respectively. are
studying behavior characteristics of
young children. one group, led by Mrs
