Young Mothers
ReCeiUe AdUiCe
of Mrs. Lieber

Mothers think that they will in
stinctively know the right thing to
do for their child, but this is not
their attitude toward cooking their
first steak said Mrs. Emma Lieber,
director Of the Claire Anne Shower
Nursery School before a group of
young mothers at Butler University
Monday.
Mrs. Lieber said that parenthood
should be regarded as a profession
requiring years of training, just as
every other profession does, and she
said that the nursery school eX-
lists as much for the benefit Of the
parent as the child.
"Piece- mealing," the speaker said,
"tends to develop food prejudices.
A hungry child will usually eat what
is set before him"
The old adage, "a child should be
seen but not heard" was refuted by
Mrs. Lieber. who said, Children
should be heard. While they should
not be allowed to monopolize the
conversation, they should be given
a chance to express themselves"
This class meets on Monday after
moons at 3 O'Clock in Room 8 and
is open to all mothers of young
children.
