She said two or three generations

large part Of these groups lived in
small communities or on farms.
Then a man needed wife TO help
him. The children had to be useful
at very early age.
With most OF us now there is an
entirely different economic situa-

that opening the schools ard col

said that no race had made great

work. Mothers with children under
six are usually too busy.
Adventures in family living
create a kind OF family unit and an
emotional stability. 1t is difficult to
understand a family unless you
have a family of your own. During
periods OF stress and strain In the
home we often feel that our chill
dren are not as good as they should
be. Mothers and fathers often dis
agree about disobedience. II Is bet
ter TO bring up a child with these
two different points OF view than
to bring him up with only one par
ent and one point OF view because
Z in this way the child learns that
people are different. Have few rules
so that father and mother can fol
low along on the same plan.
Fathers enjoy showing pictures
and telling stories about their chill
dren. Mothers should tell the father
the bright sayings OF their children
so father can later retell them.
She should also tell the. father nice
things the children may have said
about him.
Children are not always obedi-
ent on first call. Teach them to
help and to look out for adults.
There is adventure in watching
child mature" she stated. THE
time when the child first smiles,
then talks, walks. and then when
he first remembers and tells YOU
OF his experiences. There Is the time
when the child learns to read for
fun and for information, also the
Jun when he becomes interested IN
arithmetic.
There is the adventure in watch
ing the child grow up socially. At
first a child plays by himself. the-
with another but each doing differ
ent things; then when they want to
play with the same thing; also the
period when the children cooperate.
and at last when they take turns.
When a child Is ready for new ac-
complishments he almost explodes
into il. II a child is very slow he
Is not yet ready. Then there is the
period OF being very blase about
things and wanting others to do
things for him and at last the time
when he Is thoughtful and slower
and accepts things as part OF life.
Another adventure is recrea-
ton. A family should take recrea-
ton together. One way is with pic
MICS when things can be free and
easy. Reading aloud can be fun to-
gether. also singing in groups. mod
cling with soap. Children's stan
dards are not as good as adults so
live for your family and not for out
siders. Parents find it difficult 10
keep up with the growth OF their
children. Do not push a child too
much but rather enJoy the different
stages as they come along" the
speaker concluded.
At the close OF the evening Dr..
Greene very graciously answered
questions presented TO her by mem
bers from the audience.
