Numerous suggesâ€" tions were made to assist in the acâ€" complishment of these aims, such as, asking the state for a pedestrian League of Women Voters to Conduct Jury School Nov. 30 If you are a woman and one of these days you get a summons to appear for jury duty will you get jittery or will you know what is expected of you? of the traffic committee for Braeâ€" side.

Her topic for this lecture will be the relation of the adolesâ€" cent to the home and the school and society in general and a discussion of the specific problems that arise. Miss Ross is particularly well equipped for her subject in practice as well as theory, as she conducts one of the finest girl camps in this country. Miss Ross was surrounded by fathâ€" ers and mothers for an hour followâ€" ing her first talk and discussion peâ€" riod.

As parents and teachers, we need to be reminded that "the thoughts of youth are long, long thoughts" so that we can be patient and understanding. Adolescence is a time of great unevenness of deâ€" velopment; children ‘vary greatly in tempo. Often times we expect too much. It is a time of paradoxâ€" ical behavior. This is because of inevitable conflicts attendant on the emergence from childhood into maâ€" turity. The adolescent looks for new ties outside the home; for new authorities beyond the parents. The relation of the child to the parents, to his brothers and sisters and schoolmates, and to society in genâ€" eral undergo many changes at adoâ€" lescence. Parents often find the adolescent very unreasonable. Someâ€" times he behaves like a little child; sometimes he behaves like an adult. He finds parents and teachers unâ€" reasonable too. Many customs and standards change from generation to generation. Wm mother and father didâ€"or were allowed to doâ€"by their parents is not necessarily the best rule of conduct for the young boy and girl of today. On the othâ€" er hand, no child, at any age, wishâ€" es to make all decisions alone. He wants to feel the support of wise, reasonable parents who act on conâ€" viction. He likes to be consulted, however, and to voice some opinion. The period of the doctrine of leavâ€" ing every important decision to the child is fortunately past. We see and feel the swing back in educaâ€" tion from the early laissezâ€"faire of the first "progressive schools" to a much more rational resumption of: authority. Children who grow np‘ without one parent or without both parents show us graphically the need for affection and guidance withâ€" out which no child can flourish. The Guidance Clinics of the country are a rich testimony of this fact. It is in those clinics that we dind in overâ€" whelming number the children of the "broken home" and of unstable parents. H. P.
