SH esi March 26, 1927 mn CY eg WINNETKA TALK College Head Stresses Nature Study for Child The moral-social value of nature study and its possihilities in the field of character ed- :tion and the de- velopment of p Unality were discus- sed by Presic .;: Edna Dean Baker of National i.indergarten and Ele- mentary college, in a radio talk given from station WMAQ Wednesday af- ternoon, March 16. "The interest of even the tiny child in nature and its phenomena is un- bounded," said Miss Baker. "To the small child all natural objects are apt to be endued with life and feeling to the same extent as himself, and every- thing in nature, because unknown and novel, is apt to inspire wonder. This brings from the child over 3 an ava- lanche of questions, and as his curi- osity is satisfied in the right ways his appetite for more information is whet- |. ted and his interest in nature becomes keener. In enumerating the values that lie in this interest in nature, Miss Baker said : "One of the greatest is simply the joy which contact with nature gives the child. The value of this joy, as of any happiness, is that it stimulates the whole physical organism to growtn and expression. "One of the finest traits of charac- ter is personal responsibility, and I know of no better means for its cul- tivation than the care of pets and plants. Part of the child's training should involve respect and considera- tion for wild life, which would lead vo the preservation of the forests and prevent extermination of plants and animals. As the child experiences re- sponsibility and care for his plants and animals, he unconsciously be- comes more kindly. Many children also learn self-control through their nature contacts. "Because of the influence of fear upon the physical and mental well- being of the child, and because of the number of fears connected with na- tural objects and phenoma, one of the great contributions of nature study is the elimination of these fears and the development of confidence and happi- ness in the presence of nature."
