Friday, June 29. 1923. ' THE ' LA GRANDE EVENING OBSERVER PAGE SEVEN INFANT HABITS LASTUFET1 E (By Associated Press) SAN FRANCISCO, Calif., June 29. Every child comes into the world with a set of tendencies transmitted through the ages from two Ions lines of ancestors, and a child is largely what ho is because of his family, sex or race, according to Dr. Alga Briilgman of Stanford Univer sity, who addressed the American Medical convention in its seventy fourth annual meeting here today. Or. Bridgman said: "Education may do much to de velop small or latent powers, 'but na ture has set definite limits for each individual 'beyond which he cannot go. It is futile to try to develop qualities of which there is no inher ent trace and foolish to believe that tastes and abilities not ingrained are created. But few human beings come near to the best use of all their faculties. "The mind of the child differs from that of the adult quite as much and in much the same way aa his body differs from that of the adult- - Certain traits are his at birth and are modifiable only to a slight de gree. Changes fct good or ill can be wrought in his mind, which are quite as marked as are the changes , sometimes seen in the bodies of cer tain primitive people who would mould heads and alter features after a marvelous fashion. "It is the function, then, of the environment to select and stimulate desirable qualities and to control and direct all. To educate a child in the ., true sense, it is imperative to un derstand his native equipment and them to know all the laws by which modification may take place. . , "The imagination of a chijd is an important element in his make-up :nd is often misunderstood. Chil dren's mental images arc vivid and 'real, and are apt to contain a large creative element. The child from .three to seven may have a rich imag inary life, which tends to become moro matter of fact as knowledge of , the limits of the possible, and con- tact with other individuals, increases Some children find it difficult to dis tinguish percepts from images. 'Hence the fantastic tales of adven ture which children tell, before ex perience has taught them to distin ' guish between the possible and the impossible. "Much of the lying of children Is due to this confusion and after a tale has been told and retold, the child himself may be quite unable to 'dis- . tinguish the remembered from the imagined. Here his emotions read- - ily. help him to make things bo as he would like them to be. Imagin ation often gives the lonely child imaginary companions, which may become so real as to interfere with V his normal associations with other children, and to deprive him of the give and take involved in the enjoy ment of the companionship cf actual children. "A child, though hnnnd by the lim- its of his inherited nature, presents ninny individual features, which are characteristic of childhood. It is the business of child psychology to study these features and to seek out all laws governing their appearance and development, and: of education to stimulate desirable traits, and to con trol and, in some cases, to transform or suppress undesirable ones " Seek Accurate Data on Wind Pressure on Sails BOSTON.

( AP) A fall in the number of unemployed c-n May 14 to 1,1(8.600 from 1,218,267 April 30, is considered by officials of the! Ministry of Labor to be significant! as indicating a steady revival in! trade. It is pointed out that since the be ginning of April there has been a succession of weekly declines in the number of unemployed, and the state cf the various trades gives hope that tho corner has been turned.
