It was expected that the change would bring about a lowering of scholarship, vet the first year of its trial, the school average rose above Previous records. Since then average scholarship has been maintained. Home Tasks Missing Mrs.. Boysen showed that because of modern conveniences and more Brosperous homes the average child has been deprived of home tasks and responsibiltiy necessary for character development. Contrasted with these are the large number of families where the children suffer from some form of neglect, such as homes where both~parents are employed or where there is ignorance or low moral stan- dards. It is for all of these that character training through the schools may be most effective, the speaker said. The church too, she is handicapped in offer- training because of in- experienced workers. Children in the Lyndale school have prepared a small booklet, Mrs. Boysen said, setting forth the prin- ciples which they consider important in forming character. Listed are 10 jot the most important character traits: reliability, obedience, ‘udg- ment, punctuality, initiative, industry, personal habits, social attitude. self control and thrift. All are defined in. |terms the child can understand and are referred to often when there is doubt as to what is the right ting ito do. | Reaction of the parents to the new system was interesting, Mrs. Boysen declared, as all of them when con- vinced that it made home discipline easier, became firm supporters. She related a number of incidents show- ing how disagreeable personal traits of the children were eliminatéd. Condemns Lack of Ideals the home of today, she showed this is directly related to methods used in jrearing children in the past and has been a factor in increasing the di- voree ratio. “No home can be suc- cessful unless some of the character traits are present,” declared Mrs. Boy- sen. These she characterized as knowledge of thrift, ability to organ- ize, ability to get along with people, unselfishness, love of the beautiful, and willingness to direct pleasantly. Recently inquiries were conducted among business firms in Minneapolis | jwith a view to finding why many jyoung employes were dismissed. Among reasons given were lack of re-! ability, initiative, co-operation, | punctuality, or pride in their work, and laziness. In closing Mrs. Boysen urged that jSchools consider a definite system in character training to permit the child to develop naturally, finding the in-/| formation he can use, instead of be- ing driven to acquire a mass of knowl- !edge about things he does not need. and their ladies followed by luncheon and refreshments.

Clubwomen Consider Accident Prevention) A i Washington, D. C., Jan. 17.—“With- | out doubt, most of us think of home | as the safest place for us to be, but when we learn that of the nearly 100,000 deaths each year due to acci- dental causes, about 25 per cent of them occur in the home, we pause for serious thought,” said Mrs. J. Enos Ray, chairman of the committee on safety of the General Federation of ‘Women’s Clubs. “When the General Federation realized that out of 25,000 fatal acci- dents in the homes of our land, 9,000 were of children under 15 years of age, it was decided that serious con- sideration be given to definite meas- ures of prevention, hence the forma- tion of a committee on safety. Esti- mates by insurance companies which pay claims show that. about 200 of non-fatal injuries occur for every death caused by accident. “About 40 per cent of all fatalities for all ages are caused by falls. In the case of children, burns, scalds, asphyxiation and poisons are the leading causes of death by accident. Study shows that nearly all of these | accidents could have been prevented. If mothers are careful to see that little children are at a safe distance from scalding water or the hot kitch- en range, many accidents will be averted. Small children should be} given only toys that cannot be taken apart and parts swallowed. Gates and barriers should be provided at THEATRE Last Time Tonight Wm.
