She read the Declaration of Independence and commented upon it in the light of present-day happenings.

Jersild, professor of education at Teachers College, Columbia Uni versity. Dr. Jersild's suggestion is based on his research studies of "three wishes" and "my happiest day," described by nearly S,000 children at the Horace Mann-Lincoln In stitute of School Experimentation. He has published his findings un der the title, "Children's Inter ests." "Parents and others who deal with children in the home of ten observe," he says, "that a child's Joy and gratitude to far beyond the material value or even the practical usefulness of the gift received." This warm response probably means that to a child a gift has a deeper meaning that a mere addi tion to his material possessions. With this thought in mind, par ents might do well to investigate the psychology of giving and of what they give. For example, a gift of a jackknife to a boy may signify to him a vote of confi dence from his parents since they trust him to use such an imple ment wisely. A gift of a box of paints to a child just beginning to show an interest in painting may be construed by the youngster as a subtle form of encouragement. A stamp album may mean to a youthful collector that his family approves of his hobby and shares his enthusiasm for it, he says. This new-found evidence of the Importance that children at tach to gifts suggests that per haps we should re-examine our ideas of what constitutes a bribe, Dr. Jersild indicates. Something an adult might con sider a bribe, for example, a child would view aa a vote of confidence or a token of good will. "Schools should take mora ac count than they commonly do of the simple fact that gifts may have a deep significance In a child's life," he declares. "This does not mean that I favor re turning to the old gold-star-and- medal system, but schools might very well find it worthwhile to make more use of a policy of giv ing children tangible things as a means of promoting morale and goodwill and good learning. To reverse the old saw, teachers might find it very rewarding to give an apple to their pupils." Dr. Jersild warns, however, against Indiscriminate gift-giving or the selection of unsuit able gift since this might lead to a lack of appreciation or even Indifference or wastefulness. Finally, he reminds parents that gift-giving is a two-way street with children deriving much sat isfaction from giving things to their parents, especially articles made at school. This may indicate that such gifts represent an overt expression of affection which the child is unable to put into words.
