Baldwin, head of the Child Welfare Research station of the University of Iowa was the speaker at assembly of the summer session of the National Kindergarten and Elementary college last Monday afternoon. Dr. Baldwin told about the child welfare research work that is being conducted in the state of Iowa. Dr. Baldwin stated that ten years ago when this work was started in Iowa it caused a great deal of com- ment that one of the states of the Union should set aside a department and appropriate funds for the study ol normal children. It had been the habit of educators up to that time to study only abnormal people and children be- cause it was so much easier to arouse interest and sympathy concerning de- fectives. In his opinion this seemed rather useless because after all only about 15 percent are defective, the other 85 percent being normal and it seemed wiser to know all that could be known of the latter. The first ques- tion that arose was how to study nor- mal children and here the word "Pre- vention" came into use with the idea of preventing abnormal conditions to develop through the provision of proper conditions. He said that at this time all branches of education are in- terested in this study of preventive work except the sociologists, but that he does not know of a single study of the kind being made by them. He feels that the sociologists will have to get interested in children if they are to help and certainly their help is needed in making social adjustments easily and naturally. Describes Various Groups The University of Iowa conducts five Pre-Schools which Dr. Baldwin de- scribed somewhat as follows: 1--The Pre-School where they keep the children all the time and have them from the age of two months. Here they make intensive studies of metabolism, nutri- tion, mental development and physical development as it takes place in the very young infant up to the age of eight or nine months. 2--This is called the Pre-School Home Laboratory and the children are kept all day and range in age from 15 months to two years. This place is like a home in every way except that all equipment has been fitted to a child's needs, small chairs, low steps, low shelves, small beds and chairs, etc. The children are brought at 9 a. m., usually by their fathers, and stay until 4 p. m. Here they are studied from the standpoint of food, exercise and all kinds of development. 3--Here is the Nursery school where the children are kept for half a day.and range in age from 18 months to three years. Here the children are measured in numerous ways from time to time and observed. Nursery School 4--At Ames is a Nursery school where the children are studied primarily from the position of Home Economics. This school is more like a typical nursery school. The Home Economics people have almost run away with the Nursery school idea, Dr. Baldwin said, from the stand- point of nutrition, but that they also needed to get interested in and develop technique. 5--The fifth branch of the work in Towa is at the State Teachers college at Cedar Falls which is called the Pre-kindergar- ten school and takes children for either half a day or all day as is desired. The reason for introducing this sort of thing at a teachers college Dr. Baldwin said is that there is now a group of psycholog- ists who say that the little child is more than an "I. Q." they look at him as an "integrated unit." The head of the de- partment is called 'The Professor of Child Development." The child is regard- ed from all standpoints--physical growth, mental growth, metabolism, because it is considered that one of these things is as essential as another if the whole life of the child is to be properly understood. On June 29 Bloomington, III, was the hottest place in the United States, the temperature being 99 degrees.
