MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD, OREGON. TITURSDAY, APRIL 12, 1934. PAOE FIVE P.-U I Mrs. Kletzer Tells How State Safeguards Children More Effort Needed Is Word; School Big Success By MAUD E. POOL. "Oregon does a great many things for her children, but she could do better and do more." Mrs. William Kletzer, state president ot the Parent Teacher association, stated In her .J message to Jackson county home makers during the afternoon session of the school for -parents held here at the First Christian church Tues day. "Discontent Is the first step toward progress," Mrs. Kletzer de clared at the beginning ot her talk on "How the State Safeguards Our Children," and lt-ls In this light that the speaker believes Oregon people too well satisfied with the facilities obtainable In state health service, training schools, and other phases of child welfare. Lark Hospital Space. Doernbecker hospital at Portland, where children of both the rich and oor are eligible, has a waiting list of 600 children, Mrs. Kletzer pointed out, while sections of the building re main unused owing to lack of appro priations. Parents of handicapped children often havo a tendency to conceal their children Instead of bringing their cases to the attention of proper authorities and obtaining the funds per capita due from their school districts for special training of the blind, deaf, or crippled. Med 1 ford has progressed far beyond re qulrements In the matter of obtain ing funds for education of her handi capped children, Mrs. Kletzer revealed. Pointing further to the Inferiority of the welfare system, the speaker said that the state falls in handling Its social problems when the training schools accept children In cases which should have been recognized as relief problems of the community. More women should be urged to avail them selves of the mother's pension, ob tainable through county hosgltal funds, rather than to allow their children, varying in ages, to be scat tered In numerous etate Institutions for support. Mrs. Kletzer also said the state child welfare commission is unable to properly-serve the 2500 children which come under their supervision with the very small staff the commission now possesses. Mrs. Kletzer spoke of the seriousness of dealing with human lives, and stressed the need ot skilled technique In wel fare work. Psychology Discussed. Delving deeply Into the mysteries of child psychology, Mrs. Sara Watt Prentiss, Professor of Parent Educa tion at Oregon Stats College, pictured the intricacies of a child's social being In her discussion on "The Social De velopment of Children" In the fore noon session. Implying that parents have not recognized the Importance of social training as they hare the need ot physical and mental develop ment In their children, Mrs. Prentiss said that with the rapid pace of so ciety today there Is approaching s greater need of the ability to "get along with the other fellow" than ever before. Although many parents hold the Qolden Rule as the highest precept In social behavior which can be taught their children, Mrs. Prentiss believes there Is even a higher goal understanding the other fellow, which Morgan, noted writer in the field ot child psychology, saya Is the highest level of social Intelligence. During the afternoon Mrs. Prentiss enlarged upon one phase of her first talk when she spoke on "Understand ing the Adolescent." Impressing upon her listeners the fact that the adoles cent child, often regarded by his par erts as a stranger. Is the same child they have known since babyhood merely trying to adjust himself in the adult sphere. Emotions Analyzed. "The Importance of Emotional Ma turity" was the subject discussed dur ing the afternoon by Miss Clarlbel Nye, state leader of home economics, who said that Individuals, although able to recognize physical and mental development, are somewhat unaware of emotional advancement. Miss Nye declared that the emotional make up of the human being In Its subtle ness and power has more to do with happiness than most people realize. This specialist gave control of the emotions of love, fear, and anger as the principal sign of emotional ma turity in the Individual, advising be havior on a thinking basis, rather than on a feeing basis. The speaker disclosed that even brilliant men may not be emotionally mature, and men tioned a fiery congressman as an ex ample. Mrs. Mabel Mack spoke briefly on the county radio clubs which have been particularly successful this year In the child study phase. Jackson county has 14 clubs, totaling 130 members. Griffin creek having the largest club with a membership of 21. Sohool Scores Success. The school for parents, conducted here for three consecutive years, was a huge success thlb year, with a regis tration of more than 125 women mak ing the school the largest yet held In the state. Homemakers came from all sections of the county, with several attending from Ashland and, Jose phine county. The covered dish luncheon at noon was preceded by singing grace, and was followed by songs remembered from childhood. Individuals responding with old fa vorites were Miss Clarlbel Nye, Mrs. Sara Prentiss, Miss Alice Hanley, Mrs. Ida Sweeney, and Mrs. Bills Blrdseye. Nine of the extension units presented old favorite songs ss part of the noon program. Members of the county extension committee. Mrs. O. C. Maust, Mrs. Berths Glasgow and Mrs: Bertha. Young, were introduced by Mrs. Mack, as was Mrs. Marls Moore of Corvallls. The forenoon session, at which Mrs. Effle Blrdseye presided, was opened with poems of childhood, charmingly Interpreted by Mrs. Nellie Nleder meyer of Jacksonville. Mrs. Nleder meyer chose four of Anthony Euwer's poems on the sollllqules of childhood, one entitled "Billy Brown's Measles" being particularly appropriate at the present time. Mrs. Bertha Young pre sided at the afternoon session which closed at 4:00 o'clock with tea served by the county extension committee In honor ot the guest speaker from Corvallls, for which most of the women In attendance remained. 5 STERLING, Colo., April 12.
