WHIMS DISCUSSED
FOR STUDY CLUB

At the meeting OF the Prospect
Child Study Club with Mrs. Earl
snyder, Thursday evening. Miss
Olive Adams, principal OF the Pros
pect school, gave an Interesting
talk on "The Whims Of Childhood. :"
She defined the within as notional;
with the present many worries and
responsibilities, whims are develop
ing-whims about food, clothing
and even religion. She stated that
during the first two or three years
OF a child's life the foundation for
its future Is being laid and by the
time he goes to school, 1t is well
established. She thinks that parents
and teachers should work closer
together and should feel free 10
discuss problems pertaining to the
child. She advised cultivating a
sense OF humor by providing a hap
Ply atmosphere both in school ana
home. Behind whim, she said, is
often an urge for success and
achievement. a want to be recog'
niZed, a craving for sympathy and
affection. Children need a sense OF
security. They long to possess some
thing, a desire that leads to the
queer collections they often make,
she said Behind all these things Is
the craving for new experiences
and new scenes.
A lively discussion followed.
At the business meeting 1t was
decided to combine the annual
Fathers Night with the annual
banquet, to be held in the First
Baptist Church. May %, and ths
election OF officers for next year.
A luncheon was served by the
assisting hostesses, Mrs. George
Milne and Mrs. Gerald Beissel.
