ATHLETICS CURE
 FOR 'GOODY GOODY'
Psychologist Tells How Humidity
 May Be Corrected

The "goody-goody boy" and the timid youngster with the inferiority complex were discussed by Profess sor English Bagby instructor in psy- chology at Yale, at the regular meeting of the New Britain Kiwanis club today at the Burritt hotel.
 Professor Bagby began his address with the usual statement that "the timid boy is usually neglected be- cause he behaves himself" He painted a picture of boy who was afraid 10 play and romp with his schoolmntos. He was always afraid that someone was going 10 hurt him. He was being abused by the boys. When he stood up in class he would be hit by boy on each side and one in the rear. He was well behaved and knew his lessons and his parents thought he was all right, although they sometimes were puzzled be- cause he got chased home from school so often by the boys. His qualities seem a little too adult to his associates, his talk Is too pre- cocous, he usually is physically in ferior, but always knows the right answer in school, which Is embar- rassins to the rest of the class. The physical insignificance also is irri- tating to the other boys. If, in ad- dtion 10 this, he has that kind Of an ignorant teacher" who says You mustn't pick on poor little Willie" his life will not be very pleasant afterwards. The speaker explained how this boy is taken in hand and by systematically building up a con- fdcnce in himself soon takes his rightful place in the community.
 Another kind of boy must not be handled with gloves. This boy he said was 8 case of "Too much father" He is the type who runs home to father every time he gets hurt. Instead of fighting back he hotfoots 1t for home, thus causing the boys 10 perseCute him all the more" the speaker said. He said the only way to train that boy is 10 force him 10 take his own part. "Thc first boy must not be set up against his task until he has had a systematic training, but the second boy has all the things with which 10 face life and he must not be handled with smiles.
 He said the mistake sometimes made by the parents of the first boy is to teach him to fence, or to think that piano playing or too close ap- plication 10 study will cure him. The thing he must have is pres tige with his associates and the best way 10 get this Is by becoming a good baseball, basketball or foot ball player.
 The attendance prize was won by Harry C. Billings. There were 62 present, it being one of the largest meetings ever held by the club. Ice cream bricks in the shape Of a K were presented by Manager George D. Phelps of the New Haven Dairy.
 Next Wednesday the speaker will be Rev, William Ross.
