This question has been answered in the affirmative by Edna Dean Baker, president of the National Kindergarten and Elementary college, from a study of modern educational theories applied to families in Chicago and Evanston apartments. Here is the approved way to bring Christmas to the little city-dweller, ac- cording to Miss Baker: "Instead of trying to keep the prep- arations a secret, which is not prac- ticable anyway in a small apartment," she said, "make the child feel that he is part of them. In other words, make Christmas more of a family affair with the youngster as one of the family. This is in line with the most advanced theory of child psychology, that identi- fies the child as an actor rather than an audience. Help Child to Give "Get the Christmas 'atmosphere' by beginning Christmas a week or two in advance with stories, songs and pic- tures," Miss Baker advised. "Give the child opportunities to make money so that he can buy his own gifts for fam- ily and other children less fortunate than he, and wherever possible, let him make his gift." i The child should be allowed to help ini the preparation of Christmas "good- ies" too if it is possible, Miss Baker believes. When delectable odors bring the child to the kitchen it is worth mother's time to find something he can do to help. "Have a Christmas tree and hang up holly wreaths in the apartment itself or in the entrance to the building," said Miss Baker. "The child will find far more joy in Christmas tree decora- tions which he makes than in the most elaborate ormaments from the store, and he will revel in the feeling of im- portance whe~ he assists with the dec- orations by holding the hammer or bringing the pins. Establish the Traditions "All apartment homes should ac- cumulate Christmas customs and tradi- tions in order to establish something permanent in the midst of the chang- ing scenes produced by spring or fall leases. In some apartments there may be a definite ceremony in connection with the trimming of the tree, certain ornaments being used from year to year and acquiring a luster of happy associations as their original tinsel tarnishes. In others there may be the singing of carols around the tree or the reading of the Christmas story; the lighting of the Christmas eve candle in the window or the hanging of stock- ings from door-knob or foot of bed in lieu of the fireplace mantel. "Whatever the customs, they should be carried over from year to year, until the very word 'Christmas' brings to the child a picture--not of one particular room or one particular house, to be sure--but of his family carrying out these customs. Through such associa- tions and through his participation in Christmas, the child of today may find the spirit of Christmas in the modern apartment quite as readily as his grandfather found it in the rambling home of his fathers."
