Pointers for Parents In nursery schools, children of runabout age get the expert care which we are now certain they should have. The nursery school teacher has the skill, and further more the time, to adequately an swer his questions ami help him to make his many adjustments. It mav also be added that even the most skillful and successful parent j is sometimes helped hy weeing bin or her child handled by an expert and sympathetic outsider. It Is. further, not easy for every parent to "keep up" with all the best cur rent Information on the euro and education of children. The nursery Mehool in an excellent center from which to obtain the latest and best knowledge which experts In many fields nre now offering on this subject.

These fathers are not definitely unkind, hut Just oblivious. They visualize the chil dren an units of the family, but they can never get over the fence of their male ego into the land of their children's dreams and inter ests. The remedy is obviously in their own hands. Such a father should park his ego outside the door, when he comes home, nhd silo down to the children's own plane for a visit. This does not mean baby talk mor mere romp ing; it means, more than anything else, creating the right atmosphere for Intercommunication between child and parent. Singing games should he played a great deal with children. There ire phonographic records of Looby . . , Loo, Farmer In the Dell, and Mul berry Mush. A book of "singing j games" by MatT llofer, published ; by Flanagan company of Chicago, is helpful. It is needless to caution the parent that the child must think of these games as spontane- ously suggested by the parent; the! book must be a silent partner.

The ft st group does two years work in a subject In one and one lialf years lime, besides additional work. The average group com pletes the course in the regular time. The slow group Is given one-fourth more time than the average group, and is for pupils who ior any reason find the suh jec difficult.
