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.

mothers and nurses. These fathers
are not definitely unkind, hut Just
oblivious. They visualize the chil

they can never get over the fence
of their male ego into the land of

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

mean baby talk mor mere romp

book must be a silent partner.
