Mrs. Ralph Crow gave a brief
talk, during the morning, taking
as her topic the traditions of this
country, and commemoration of
Independence Day. She read the
Declaration of Independence and
commented upon it in the light of
present-day happenings. She
stressed the need to teach Ameri
can history, to acquaint our own
people with our traditions and our
documents. "Tradition in America
is a fluid, a changing thing; Am
erica today is equipped for great
achievement. We are deep in the
roots of the past, but still we are
geared to expansion, to a way of
life that is for the welfare of all,
not just a few," she said. Few
countries, the speaker remarked,
have a constitution that goes as
far back as our own. Young peo
ple of other nations give more
thought than do our own to the
meaning of our traditional docu
ments and the freedoms they insure.
Mrs. Birdola Germain served as
registrar for the day. Numerous
projects for future activities and
interests were given consideration
and will be discussed further at

Children Attach
Meaning to Gifts,
Educator States
BY DAVID TAYLOR MARKE
AP Newsfeatures
, Teachers might well bring an
apple to their pupils, occasionally
since gifts have an importance to
children far beyond their intrin
sic worth, according to Arthur T.
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.
