Our old friend and former citizen,
Elbridge G.. Deane sent the card from
his home in st. Petersburg, Florida,
where Mr.. and Mrs. w. A. McCurdy of
Virginia, also former residents, are
visiting. Mr.. Deane is in the insurance
business in the Florida city and is a
consistent "comparer" of the weather
reports appearing in the Miner and his
home city. While We somewhat envy
him the salubrious winter climate, the
summer climate of this section is what
causes the st. Petersburg and other
Florida residents to come to the play

IS SPEAKER AT
CATHOLIC MEET
DR.. K. Buehler, Psychologist,
Traces Child Growth From
Baby to Adolescence.

1.-THE age of adolescence is the mos
important point of maturement in tht
life of child DR.. Karl Buehler, visit.
ing professor of psychology at tn.
Villa of st. Scholastic, Duluth, told &
group of about $50 persons in The
Community Center auditorium, Tuesday
evening.
During the period OF aooIescence the
child begins to isolate himself. He be-
gins to criticize-to find new rules for
all the laws of civilization-to find a
niche for himself.
He is longing for something but he
knows not what it is. He is getting
step by step mature; getting ready for
adult companionShip."
Introduced by the Rev. Frank Mi
helcic, DR.. Buehler outlined the various
stages in the development of child,
from babyhood to adolescence. The Ely
chapter of the National Council of
Catholic Women sponsored his appear
ance here, and invited the general
public to hear him.
DR.. Buehler stressed the training of
the imagination of a youngster, and
emphasized the Importance of vivid
imagination in adult life.
Don't despiSe the imagination of a
child" he advised, "for every creative
human being must have an magma
ton"
He disagreed with the usual procedure
of starting children to school at the
age of six. He felt that this was too
early. 1T is much more important that
a child play and learn little things
rather than mature things" he said.
The speaker, who was connected with
the institute of child psychology in
Vienna before coming to the United
States, July 1st of last year, pointed to
the dangers present during the period
of development when youngster seeks
to have his "own way" Then he should
be taught obedience so that he may
learn to rule himself"
The speaker answered many questions
during and following his address.
The address was preceded by dinner
served by Circle No. for council

complishments were fittingly
recognized by the II organiza-
