S. and Canada at National College Summer School Two hundred teachers, supervisors. parents, and undergraduate students from the United States and Canada have enrolled for the summer session of the National Kindergarten and Ele- mentary college, which opened on Monday. Many of the students are graduates of the college who have re- turned for additional courses, and the percentage of graduates of other col- leges and universities is also high. The series of lectures on "Experi- ments in Education" was opened on Monday by Dr. John J. B. Morgan, di- rector of the Northwestern University Psychological clinic, who has. a partic- ularly interesting outline of the work which is carried on by this clinic. In a brief introduction to the mental hygiene movement, Dr. Morgan ex- plained that the main object of the movement is to prevent people from having mental difficulties, just as we try to prevent them from having phy- sical difficulties. "Most of the queer attitudes and emotional responses ex- hibited by children may be traced, not to biological inheritance, but to the teachina of mothers, and others with whom they have come in contact. Peo- ple are not just queer. They are queer because some one has taught t§=m to be. They can unlearn what they have learned, and you can help them." "If we are to have any mental hy- giene at all it must be in connection with the school," said Dr. Morgan. "At present we have to have clinics be- cause teachers are not trained to han- dle these problems, but before long, courses in this work will be added to the curriculum of every teacher train- ing institution." Dr. Morgan explained that one of the first things necessary in the work with children who are making unusual or queer emotional responses, is to gain the confidence of. the child and be willing to listen to what he has to tell you, without trying to plant your own thought in place of his. Patience and a sympathetic understanding of the child are essential and when the trouble at the root of the difficulty has been discovered, some means of over- coming it must be worked out. "When you get a queer child do not simply say, 'Oh well, it's the mother's fault'. The child you get in the ele- mentary grades is still so plastic that vou can modify his attitudes and emotional responses and make them what you will. You have to take what the parents send you, and if you make a failure of it you, and not the parents, are to blame. Teaching is building personality, not merely teaching 1 arithmetic and reading. It consists in getting the attitude and emotion to- ward life which will help you fit into your job and into life, and the earlier you start in this particular field the easier task vou have."
