In large communities with continual- ly transient population little theaters cannot flourish, but in towns like those along the north shore, where homes gin with the third and fourth grade |are established and people acquainted | with each other, the little theater flourishes, he said. He stated his con- viction that the little public schools, formerly superintendent | ment is leading toward an entirely new of the Winnetka schools, when he lec- | step in the drama, and through it will tured at the National Kindergarten and | be developed originality in America, Elementary college Tuesday afternoon, and a thoroughly American theater. July 12. - Out of his investigations in the study of children and sex teaching for the | last twelve years, Mr. Beatty has be- come convinced that the proper time for imparting this knowledge, with boys especially, comes at this early age. He has found, he reported, that the first sex knowledge or experience | comes at the average age of nine, which means that the third or fourth grade child must have it presented to him then if he is to get it cleanly and honestly. Investigations also prove, he | stated, that less than ten percent of | the girls and boys obtain this initial | knowledge correctly and truthfully-- the other 90 percent get it in other ways. This age for knowledge among | youngsters in cities may be deferred | to the sixth grade age in smaller com- munities, he said. If there is an early curiosity about it, he explained, it | would better be satisfied than ques- | tions left unanswered or secrecy made to surround it. ages, was stated by Willard W.
