those who answered that they liked
both equally wen. Otherwise, the best
adjusted boys expressed preference for
the mother and the girls for the father.
Punishment Found Disadvantageous.
A definite relation was found between
eating between meals and regular
brushing Of the teeth In the decree Of
adjustment. A sick father was found
much more likely to produce madad-
justment In children than q sick mother.
probably because Of Interruptions In
the family income. The efficiency of
the home, as reflected in the character
Of the children, seemed b decline rapid
ly as the amount OF punishment In
creased. Sd
An effort to measure the Intangible
element of "hon1e atmosphere" was de-
scribed by DR.. Rachael Stutsman Of
Detroit. Typical badly adjusted and
well adjusted children, representing
about the same income and age groups
and with no outstanding physical de-
fects, were selected and studies made
Of their homes.
In the homes from which came the
maladjusted children the workers found
more financial worry and more eager
ness to have their children finish school
and start work. The parents in the
homes with the unfavorable atmosphere
were not so well educated, on the whole,
as in those with good atmosphere. But
in the latter the father usually was
better educated than the mother. The
good homes were more religious.
It was found that there was more
quarreling between father and mother
in the poor homes and that "the mother
usually had the last word" The chill.
dren usually sided with the mother.
In the maladjusted homes, it was
found, the parents tend to punish mis-
takes and reward successes, while in
the good homes the tendency was to
ignore mistakes and praise successes.

BLIND GIRLS GOAL
IS CDLLEGE DEGREE
Miss Dorothy Jennings Works
to Take Advantage of
Scholarship.

Blind since childhood, Miss Dorothy
Jennings, 1880 Park road, today is
striving to reach . financial status
where she can accept scholarship TO
Trinity College which she already has
earned.
Miss Jennings attainments represent
. continuous story Of conquest over .
handicap that was begun here some
years ago when she lost her eyesight in
an accident. A little child then, Miss
Jennings was sent to the Maryland In
stitute for the Blind ut Overlea, where
District of Columbia public school
children are given the training the local
school system Is unequipped to provide.
When her schooling In the ways OF the
blind was completed, Miss Jennings
parents moved with her to Chicago, and
there she entered the Academy Of Our
Lady, eminent Catholic school for girls.
Despite the fact that she was the
only blind student at that institution,
the washington girl completed the
traditional elementary and high school
work with distinction. In recognition
Of this accomplishment she was awarded
last year a scholarship to Trinity Col
lege here. The scholarship was one
offered by Louise Moore, herself sight
less and the first blind girl ever to
complete the course at Trinity.
Meanwhile, shortly after the family
returned to Washington financial re-
verses heset the Jennings household, and
now, instead of being able to continue
the classic schooling she has won the
right to, the blind girl has been obliged
to turn to the sterner business of max
ing an Immediate livelihood. She now
IS within q few weeks Of graduation
from the school operated here by the
Dictaphone Co., while at the same time
she Is employed at the Columbia Insti-
tute for the Blind, where she Is receiv-
ing the kind of training that viii stamp
her an experienced typist, dictaphone
operator and Office secretary" when she
completes her work at the school.
While she is carrying on, several
agencies are working in her interest,
either to assure the retention Of her
earned scholarship to Trinity College
until such time as she will be able TO
enroll under 1t, or to obtain for her
q similar scholarship.
Miss Jennings still Is determined to
carve her mark in literature and jour-
naliSn.

Approximately 5000 public school
children in the seventh, eighth and

senting country and city white and
colored children and various racial d.
visions-were used to construct this
statistical instrument, DR.. Burgess ex-
planned. A succession of missionaries
was used to determine how well each
child was adjusted and what sort of q
home, described in specific characters
each one came from.
Neurotic Traits Studied.
First, skillfully phrased questions
were asked the child to obtain an in
ventory of neurotic traits. There were
such questions as:

Do you usually go to sleep without cry

The answer to each question. espe-
cially when checked by another cues
tionnaire Allied out by the teacher, was
significant rs indicating q point Of
maladjustment. The second question
naire dealt with description of the
home itself. Then the items were
statistically weighted and each corre-

The result OF all the laborious mathe-

For boys it was found that a wealthy
