Parents and teachers are too
prone to eXaggerate the Importance
of any one age of the adolescent
child" Paul c. Stetson, indianapolis
schools superintendent, told the
congress in the principal address
this afternoon.
Dividing ages of the adolescent
child into seven groups, he said:
First group includes the child
from birth to the age of 3, the age
of innocence, characterized as the
fastest learning age, when the
greatest quality needed by parents
is love.
Next is the dramatic age, from
to 7. This is the make believe
age, where children live in a world
other than their own. Adults
frequently mistake this dramatiza-
ton for untruthfulness. Other
ages he discussed were:
I'll Trying Age
Angular age, to II, a trying age
for parents and teachers, who need
resourcefulness and a sense of
humor.
Early adolescent age, 10 to IA, the
most difficult age, where sympathy
and respect are required.
Organization age, IA to 16. where
the tendency to band together in
clubs, gangs and other groups: this
is the age of hero worship and par
ents and teachers need understand
ing, sense of justice and good tenn
per.
Age of romance, 16 to 10, consid-
cred the age of greatest charm,
bringing with it attachments for
persons young and old and of the
opposite sex, this age requires a
great deal of understanding.
Age of problems, IS to 81, where
boys and girls are growing into
manhood and womanhood, but have
not yet reached either age, and
where tolerance is the greatest
quality required,

WHO GETS THE

There seems to be some
argument in various sections
OF the country among mer-
chants as to who gets the
tourists dollars that may be
spent in the community. The
u. S. department of COM
merce has been making a
study Of this new industry
and gives the following per-
centage as being about cor
rect. 1t must be remember
ed that in some communities
the actual figures will vary
according to accommodations
offered.
Retailer, 25 per cent.
Restaurant, 20 per cent.
Hotel or camp, II per
cent.
Garage and filling station,
II per cent.
Transportation, 10 per
cent.
Theatres and amusements.
10 per cent.
Confectionery, 6 per cent.
Usually the retailer is the
first to say his sales are not
affected by the tourist. He
is overlooking the fact that
in his case the money does
not go from spender to mer-
chant. He gets his volume
from the pay envelope of the
