FACTORY Amazing NASH price reductions-- Effective Feb. 1st AVL 5-passenger 7-bearing Nash "A Six Sedan at such an amazingly low price seems almost incredible. But to anyone familiar with the ex- ceptional manufacturing ability of C. W. Nash, this achievement in value is not surprising.

The talks are open to any of them who are interested, as well as to the club members. Next Thurs- day at 3:30 Dr. John 1. Levy, psychiatrist with the Institute of Tuvenile Research, will speak on "The Superior Child and His Problems of Adjustment," discussing what the at- titude of the parent and teacher to- ward the superior child should be. Dr. Levy, a man of unusual attainments and splendid ability, was chosen by the Commonwealth Fund of New York to come to the institute. He has lectured all over Chicago. This week's talk was on "The Spoiled Child," and was given by Miss Ethel Kawin, a psychologist with the Institute of Juvenile Research. "The Nervous Child" was the subject on March 1. The speaker was Dr. Edwin Eisler, executive director of the mental hygiene department of Michael Reese hospital, and a member of the Northwestern University faculty. Dr. Eisler began his talk with a description of the characteristics of the nervous child, stating that nervousness has a variety of manifestations, such as curiosity, exploration, marked dis- tractibility, and impulsive tendencies. The nervous child needs success up to his natural capacity. Children who have under-energy tendencies, such as laziness, indicate something complex. In order to investigate the nervous child, one must know his home, school, physical history, and his mental and emotional makeup. This lecture was very well attended, and the audience showed marked in- terest by asking many intelligent questions.
