late the knowledge that some things
are his own and finally realizes that
he must respect private and public
property, the speaker pointed out.
In teaching a child the value OF
money the parents should start at
an early age to give them a small
allowance and increase this as the
child grows in order that he may
be able to adjust himself 10 his per-
sonal needs, Dr.. Olson advised.
The same principle OF growth
holds true in a child's eating hab'
its. He has his food dislikes. daw-
dies. and has TO be helped and en-
couraged until finally he can eat
alone and have his share OF social
responsibility at the table.
The child's growth in group rela'
tionship is very important as ne
must be able and willing TO partici'
pate with his friends and able TO
take his place among them.
DR.. Olson spoke of the importance
of the child learning TO plan for
himself. He said that the difference
between humans and animals Is In
their anticipatory behavior.
Growth in reading for the child
is started by reading TO them at
an early age. Later at school be
learns to read and as a rule develops
keen interest for reading. The
newer class books for the beginners
embody symbolic type OF reading.
DR.. Olson stated that there Is vast
difference in ability to learn to read
in children OF the same age and
that reading was another aspect
in the total growth OF a child. II
the requirements OF their reading
are too hard for them, several
things may happen. They may fight
or become unruly, or they may
withdraw simply to escape tension.
DR.. Olson spoke of music and art
as releases from tension and the
child's reaction.
He said that numbers we're quite
an element in modern education
and that arithmetic is stumbling
block for a great many people. The
ability OF children to be authentic
in their arithmetic has been en-
HANGED by the modern way OF teach
ing
In social science there are many
activities In which children may
engage. and participation in home
and school functions are of great
help to the child as he grows in his
ability OF self-control and independ-
ence. DR.. Olson said.
Dr. Olson said there are two view
points on the modern method as TO
whether the education should be
achieved by authoritative contro
or by the social or grouping pro
cess. His personal opinion was tha
the child should be educated by thu
social or grouping process which Is
democratic in background rather
than the authoritative control meth
cd which is OF militaristic origin.
At the close OF his address DR..
Olson discussed informally several
items with members OF the audi
ence.
He was introduced by Mrs. Earl
Studt, club program chairman.
