May Day Annual
Health Checkup
"Life in America is crowded,
but .we need May Day even in this
crowded life in order to take
fresh account each year of the
needs and the rights of children."
says Dr. Arnold Gesell, director of
the Yale Clinic of Child Develop
ment. Yale university.
"The child's growth does not
take care of itself. The child
needs protection for its mind as
Well as for its body," say3 Dr.
Resell. In telling what he con
siders necessary to protect the
child's, mind, he states, "A calm,
kind, consistent parent-child rela
tion is the most important essen
tial in improving the mental
health of young chldren. A sym
pathetic teacher-child relationship
is likewise of hygienic importance
for school chldren.
"Excessive shouting, scolding,
threats, and bribes still figure too
much in the daily lives of young
cWldran." Dr. Gesell says. "And
May Day helps to remind us of
the great significance of these
simple, everyday matters In the
mental, welfare of the growing
! Child.'.'
The family usages, the language,
the company, the furniture,
the yearning and swelling
heart.
'Affection that will not be gain
i say'd, the sense of what is
I real, the thought if after all
J It should prove unreal,
i The doubts of day-time and the
doubts of night-time, the cur
ious whether and how,
Whether that which appears so is
so, or is Is all flashes and
specks?
There became pat of that child
'who went forth every day.
and who now goes, and will
always go forth every day.
-Walt Whitman.
