Parents Should Study
 Child's Limitations
Mental Hygiene Director Stresses Importance of
 Knowledge of Children's Capacities;

Living in society which demands certain educational attainment, it is becoming increasingly important for parents to understand the objectives of education and the needs of their children, to have a knowledge of their children's capacities and limi- tations, and to question their own personal motives in their demand for specific educational attainment which may be beyond a child's cap- acities, Dr. James M. Cunningham, director of the Bureau of Mental Hygiene of the State Department of Health, stated today.
 Different Phases
 Mental hygiene is closely associat- ed with but differs in many ways from education, Dr. Cunningham ex- plained, speaking in the depart mems weekly broadcast. Both are concerned with the problem of making people better adapted to the problem of living, whether in voca- tions, in social relations, family life or what not. Mental hygiene deals with individuals who have failed ill this adaptation and through study of these cases learns the reasons for failure, seeks readjustment. and strives for methods of preventing failure in others. Education deals with groups of individuals who have not failed in adaptation, putting the emphasis on intellectual capa- cities. The emphasis in mental hy- giene is on emotional development,
The Waterbury Democrat., 1938-04-28

because improper development in this aspect leads to failures in later adaptation.
 With the development of compul- sory education certain problems have arisen for the child, the edu- cator and the psychiatrist who is working with children, Dr. Cunning ham said. By the very nature of educational procedures, complete in- dividualization in the classroom is impossible. On the other hand, the intellectual capacities of children vary greatly, yet they are compelled to meet certain average educational requirements. When the limitations of the individual prevent this, he is placed in the dilemma of having to do something he cannot accomplish and emotional disturbance follows.
 Objcctives Important
 The need for parents to recognize these objectives, methods and en- phases in both education and mental hygiene is becoming continually greater, the doctor stated. Many ol the concepts of parents about edu- cation influence materially thf the sense of academic attainment child's progress in school, both 1T and of social adaptation. Many o1 these parental attitudes toward edu- cation increase the difficulties O. the educator and the psychiatrist ir helping the child to attain the ob- jective of satisfactory social adapta' tion, as well as increasing the child:

 Anne Clark is one woman who can keep secret. When her engage ment was announced in September, she showed her close friends a ring that would have made a princess proud. John had given it to her some time before, but in all those weeks she had refrained from saying one word about it.
 The same restraint characterizes her dress. Right now, she and her mother are looking over trousseaux and bridal accessories. Her friends are sure both will be lovely but re- strained, neat and simple in taste.
 She uses very little makeup, chiefly because she doesn't need it. Her healthy coloring comes from swimming, tennis and horseback riding. She is proficient in all of them. Like her husband-to-be, Anne loves sailing.

 Following the ceremony in the small, flower -decked Nahant Epis- copal church, the newlyweds will leave for a siX-week honeymoon. Plans for the honeymoon trip have not been announced, but it is a safe assumption that there will be sightseeing in distant places, for both John and Anne love to travel.
 The newlyweds will spend few days at the White House with the President and Mrs. Roosevelt, and a few more in Mrs. Clark's home at Nahant. Then they will move into a beautiful colonial house which is now being built for them on a site overlooking the sea. From then on it will be MT. and Mrs. John ASpin- wall Roosevelt, at home.

This dance was three years ago. John was then freshman at Har- yard and Anne a lovely Junior Leaguer. After that, other Harvard dances, Boston social affairs and the smart night clubs of The Hub often saw them together The other guests observed how well they danced together, how they seemed to revel in each others company. Rumors began to fly concerning wedding.
 Last summer John and a party of friends toured Europe and upon his return in September, Anne journeyed to Hyde Park, N. Y, to welcome him back. The President and Mrs. Roosevelt took the occa- sion to announce the engagement of their son to Anne Lindsay Clark, of Boston. Smiling, elder-brother James told the world, "The family is very pleased"

WORLD SESSION TO OPEN MAY 2 ON MINE HOURS
Men Who Dig Coal Seek Geneva Agreement on
 Shorter Week

Geneva, April 28.-(UP)-A word conference on hours of work in coal mines will open here May 9. Con- voked by the International Labor o Organization, the conference will mark another step in the miners long struggle for shorter working hours through international agree ment.
 Repeated attempts have been made to ease the lot of men who go down into the mines. The last ef- fort of the miners to arrive at an in ternational agreement-on con- vention for working week of 38A hours-failed, by only 4 votes, to win the necessary two-thirds majority at the International Labor confer
 The United States and French governments, however, were deter mined to get something. They backed resolution which resulted in the I. L. O. calling the new pre- paratory conference on the coal mining industry. .
 Session to Be Advisory
 The conference will be of a purely advisory character. Government delegates, and representatives of en- ployers and workers in nearly all the important coal-producing coun- tries, will attend. For about two weeks they will debate every angle of the claims put forward by miners with the idea of leaving behind them useful advice for the Interna- tional Labor conference-meeting at Geneva in June-which will consider the same question.
 Among the countries to be repre- Sented will be Great Britain, repre- senting nearly 100000 miners, United States representing nearly 100000 France, representing more than 200,- 900, and possibly Russia, represent ing about 500,O00. With Germany, these four states employ 75 per cent of the worlds coal miners.
 Washington Session as Model
 The conference will be modelled on the lines of the world textile con- ference, held at Washington in April of last year, and which paved the way for the adoption at the Interna- tional Labor conference last June, of an international agreement for a 44-hour week for textile workers. Miners hope the forthcoming con- ference will lead to similar pact.
 It is anticipated that the workers campaign for the reduction of work ing time in the mines will be backed at least by the French and United States. They were the chief back CTS of the bitterly fought but suc- cessful textile convention, and with Russia they have taken the lead in reducing the working hours of coal miners. France, for example has a working week of 38 hours, 40 min- utes; Russian underground miners work a 6-hour day! while miners in IA coal-producing states in America work A hour week.
 Two of the representatives Of the body of the l. l.. O. at the conference will be Frederick w. Leggett, British government repre- sentative, who also is its chairman, and Robert J. Watt, American workers representative.

"Sonny Jiln'' Doesn't Choose To Run ---
 Or Does He?

Washington, April 28.-"Sonny Jim" Roosevelt weeks ago gave his friends to understand that he would say "No" to the Massachu- sets Democrats who asked him to be a candidate for lieutenant-gov- ernor in the Bay state.
 But he has taken so long to say it that the same friends think he may be reconSidering. Some insiders say the presidents son and Secre- tary is about to make few speeches il Massachusetts on the problem of industrial migration from New Eng land to the south. If that's so, sus- picion is bound to arise that he is still flirting with the idea of running for office this year.
 Previously Jimmy was supposed
 to have been dissuaded by the fear that his political career might suffer an early blight if he tried this time and lost. His White House position gives him great power and unique opportunity for acquiring influence and friends.
 Furthermore, he went into the White House largely to make up for the great personal loss suf- fered by his father in the deaths of Secretary Louis Howe and Bodyguard Gus Gennerich, F. D. R's closest associates. The presi- dent, in this period of rough going for the New Deal, doesn't want to lose him. Especially since Jimmy has done an acceptable job and is increasingly valuable as con- tact between his father and the world outside-including members of congress.
 On the other hand, Jimmy's in- fuence on patronge in the Mas sachusetts of his political adoption has enabled him to build up something of 8 personal machine there. A few of his friends argue that 1888 is the year in which he can depend on that machine to do most for his political career.
 The chances still seem to be against Jimmy's entry in the pri- maries. But he still refrainS from saying "no."
