Marks 3 3 2 Washington Ave. Ph. 1984 PHOMES 31ft AND 3390 R~&l,t~f A most enthusiastic meeting of parents and teachers of Central-Laurel school was held in Stolp school Tuesday evening, led by the president, Mrs. W . A. Kendrick, who called upon Dr. George D. Allison, pastor of the Baptist church for the invocation. Following the singing of "America," Harvey Hopp, commander Wilmette Post of American Legion, gave a dem onstration of the proper hanging o f the American flag. Mr. Harper explained how the fund amentals of education are being taught in our schools more effectively than ever before, but in such an interesting way that the children really it. and are happy to take an active pa; t in all the activities and management of the school. He introduced Mi ss Moore, the new supervisor of the first six grades, who will assist ann make individual help possible. In a most fascinating way Dr. Mor gan, psychologist of Northwestern t!niversity, explained how to help the children on the "road to happines s" by 2iving them a chance to develop individuality, unhampered by nagging or too much attention. He ap·pealed to the pare.nts to try to see things from a child's point of view instead of trying to force adult ideas on th e child. With stories of actual e_ xperience he showed how over-restraining a ch.ild may cause him to become pre cocious or have the opposite effect of making him too timid or undecided ; n matt~rs of importance later in life. H r made it very clear that an adult get s the most out of life who enjoys being with other people. He should th erefore help the child hunt . for good characteristics in others, appreciate personality rather than superficiai outward appearances. A very delightful part of the pro gram was contributed by William Bat hatchet, who sang several tenor solos, accompanied by Miss Gilbert. Announcement was made of th e membership drive now under way.
