Confer With Parents Parents will be given conference ap- pointments at least once a month and the Teaching Director, the Doctor, and the Dietician all will participate in these conferences. The child, his home and school habits, physical'and general needs and interests will be discussed. Through this method it is hoped that in time the standard of treatment cre- ated in the school will come to be ob- served in the home and that the home and the Nursery school will increas- ingly supplement each other. As to research work, daily work will be done with great care, techniques will be constantly made to determine forms of growth and reaction through observation and records. By co-operating with existent agen- cies, the Winnetka Nursery school will be enabled to do a much more scien- tific piece of work than would other- wise be possible with the present set up and budget. The school will be used as a source for research material by the Elizabeth McCormick Memorial Fund and the Institute for Juvenile Research and in return will receive specialized and scientific service from physicians, psychologists, psychiatrists and dieticians. This highly specialized work with written observations and records is, of course, highly important at the stage when the Nursery school is at the formative period. As the school proceeds with its work, the Elizabeth McCormick Memorial Fund will direct the physical health program, diet and daily menus, check weights weekly, heights once a month give eye and general health examin- ations and advise with the parents and staff as to the general conduct in a most thorough manner. The Institute for Juvenile Research will conduct the mental health program and will give intelligence performance and other tests. All cases of behawor difficulties will be discussed and guidance given to the teaching staff and parents. Particularly emphasised by the Nurs- ery school in conducting their work will be the public school point of view so that the experiment may prove reasonable and helpful to other groups wishing to start along similar lines. The school will also be used as a training center. Eight to ten students from the National Kindergarten col- lege will be given careful training dur- ing the year, providing to a degree a training and practice center for Nurs- ery school workers. N. T. Intramural Football Teams Hold First Practice Forty New Trier students mostly freshmen and sophomores with a sprinkling of upper classmen, turned out this week for the first practice of the intramural teams. There are five coaches: DeForrest Showley, who is in charge of the en- tire intra-mural program, and his four assistants: R. B. Wehr, O. Oaks, Ken- neth Kunkhauser, and C. IL. Persing. Funkhauser and Persing are new at New Trier this year. According to the program outlined by Mr. Showley the first two weeks will be spent in conditioning the teams running over the fundamentals of the game, and reviewing the rules. The boys will be divided into teams in the third week, 15 or 20 on a squad, thus allowing for substitute. The "league" games will begin in about a month. §
