"Social Adjustment of the Pupil" Will Be Discussed Feb. 3 The members of the High school P.â€"~T.A., both teachers and mothers, are looking forward eagerly to the next meeting, at which the,.iproâ€" gram will undoubtedly prove helpâ€" ful and stimulating. Preceding the m’u always, at 3 o‘clock, , February 3, will be the usual pleasant tea and conferences with the teachers, which must conâ€" elude before 3:45, to allow plenty of time for the interesting program to follow. To present the teacher, the parâ€" ent and the student point of view, on the subject, "Social Adjustment of the Pupil" a parent who is also a teacher, a girl, and a boy student will present this important matter of the social life of a high school student, which so often causes much conflict between parent and child, and between teacher and pupil After the presentation of the subâ€" ject by these three persons who will have studied the matter from every possible angle, the parents and teachers present at the meeting are urged to n‘unt their points of view. It must be borne in mind that this is a serious endeavor to reach permanent benefit to all concerned, and those who enter into the genâ€" eral discussion are requested to consider the matter impersonally. This Jrogum will be of inestimâ€" able value to all and should result in greater understanding between student and teacher, and between child and parent. 300 Brave Storm To Hear Discussion Of "Seeing Eye" Braving a blustry winter night, several hundred Highland Park citiâ€" zens gathered at the Highland Park Woman‘s club, Tuesday evening, to hear an intensely interesting disâ€" cussion of the "Seeing Eye." Morris S. Frank, viceâ€"president of the division for blind of the Seeing Eye, told of the opportunity offered the blind, and showed how those whose lives had seemed despeiringly hopeless through this physical handiâ€" cap, had suddenly become indepenâ€" dent, hopeful individuals, who were prepared to take their place in all walks of life. Mr. Frank is a very likeable person, pleasing to look at, and of a very cheery nature. Losing his sight through accident and then finding a way to freedom by the use of a dog, he is thoroughly equipped to extol the merits of this project. He was the first person in America to adopt the "Seeing Eye." His faithfol friend “BJy" appeared with his master. Elliott 8. Humphreys or "Jack" as he prefers to be called, viceâ€"presiâ€" ident of the Seeing Eye and division of training and research, explained the origin and described the prepaâ€" ration required to accomplish the work. Three steps are necessary in preparing a dog for the duty of "Seeing Eye." First a trainer must be secured .with the right temperâ€" ment and nerve reaction to qualify for the position of dog trainer. He must "go blind" in order that he may react to the feeling of a blind man. When this is successfully comâ€" pleted the dogs are then trained. Not every dog will react to the training any more than every man will qualify as a trainer. When the dog proves his efficiency, the blind person is then taught. From four to six weeks training is required by the blind. The cost of the preparation and training of the animals varies, someâ€" times running into hundreds of dolâ€" lars, Each dog may be secured at a e-lnt of $150. ;'l:h is :‘v.nry nome inal price cons! expense entailed in the ::Luunn No blind person is deprived of the way to freedom by lack of funds. Anyâ€" one so afflicted who is desirous of finding a way out, and who is willâ€" ing to assume the responsibility with a eagerness to compensate when convenient, may secure a dog. e "Seeing Eye" is not a self -nmhlu project through the sale of dogs ‘and therefore must depend to some extent on the generosity of its friends, Memberships may be seâ€" eured, and donations are gratefully accepted. Further information may be secured from. members of the local committee: Mr. James L. Marâ€" tin, chairman, Mrs. R. E. Wood, coâ€" chairman, Mrs. A. G. Ballenberg, Miss ‘Janet Bard, Miss Margaret Smith, Mrs. Katherine Martin Shanâ€" ley, Miss Jane MceWhinney, Commoâ€" dore Raiph Wood, and Messrs Michael J. O‘Brien, Howell W. Murâ€" ray and L. L. Cohen.
