Our Child Care Topic Presented By Lecturer In bringing up children, you want to “accentuate the positive, eliminate the negative," said Mrs. Jack Stafford, a Vassar graduate in child study who spoke on. “Liv ing with Children” at the YMCA last evening. Her talk was the fourth and last in a marriage se ries sponsored by the YW-YMCA. Mrs. Stafford, a small, dark wo man, whose own avid interest in her topic was readily relayed to her audience, quoted as the thesis of her speech: “A child needs love, needs per sonal attention, needs to feel that he belongs.” When is the time to have chil dren ? was one of the problems pre sented. Don’t wait till you can “af ford” it—You’ll never be able to. Don’t wait until you regard just you and your mate as “the family.” Don’t wait till you are so old you are an old “fuddy-duddy” when your children are adolescents. Space Children While, physiologically, pregnan cy is best for a woman five to eighteen months after a previous birth, it is better to space one’s children a little farther apart to allow for more individual atten tion. According to eugenics each fam ily should have 2.62 live babies to maintain the present population, which means that some families should have three, four and five children to make up for those who are physically unable to have any. Large Family Advantages Some of the advantages the speaker attributed to large fami lies were: practice the children have in getting along with others; the chance that the child is less likely to be spoiled; the care of each other which the children learn; the economic saving in baby’s equipment which can be passed on from one child to the next. Advantages were also given for small families: they are cheap er; children in small families are less likely to be ignored; the hus band-wife relationship is not as likely to be jeopardized; the par ent-child relationship is closer. In integrating family life, ev eryone must have time to do the things he wants. Consideration must be given for such things as radio programs, and the family should do things as a group—such as going to the beach* playing games together. Family sentimen tality, family traditions, the cele brating of birthdays were urged for their stabilizing effects. Learn Care of Child Without sufficient time to devel op her sub-topics of “religious training” and “punishment and re ward,” Mrs. Stafford closed by urging the reading of Gazell’s book, “Infant and Child in Cultures of Today,” and by pointing out that the best way to learn to care for children is through actual experi ence with them—such as baby-sit ting, and, with an open mind, to seek the best advice concerning them, watch the behavior of other children, and to read articles per taining to children in the periodi cals.

Former Instructor Donates Collection Miss Celia V. Hager, former fac ulty member of Oregon, donated a large collection of classical records to the University of Oregon, it was announced by Carl Hintz, head li brarian. “The collection is not only of high value,” said Hintz, “but is also large enough to keep the most ardent mu sic fan busy for weeks.” Miss Hager gave the library nine ty-seven albums and 182 single rec ords, a total of 590 records. Some of the older ones include performers such as Caruso. Tetrazini, and Pad erewski. They will be added to the Douglas Room, and some of the records will be placed in the circu lation collection now being formed.

I/O Dime Drive Called Success Results of the Alpha Phi Omega March of Dimes drive show that UO students added $527.41 to the total amount of the Lane county drive. Although the drive officially end ed last Saturday, some containers have not yet been turned in. Living organizations which have not yet turned in their donations should contact Joan Mimnaugh, collection chairman, at the Pi Beta Phi house. According to Helen Sherman, as sistant drive chairman, final results will probably show that at least a dime per student was contributed. “The drive has been very suc vessful,” observed Miss Sherman, “considering that students have had to contribute to so many things this term.
