"Feelings of Depression," a new film put out by the Oregon Mental Health association, was presented by Mrs. Dunbar Car penter, program chairman, who also introduced Dr. John A. Schulz, of the psychology de partment at Southern Oregon college who discussed the film. Dr. Schulz pointed out two factors. First, mental depression takes many years to develop and, secondly, that one or a few experiences, poorly handled, are not cause for real worry" pro vided the same mistakes are not made over and over. A combination of many exper iences is necessary to bring about acute mental depression, the speaker stated, and usually it requires the same combination of unhappy experiences to bring about the feeling of insecurity and inadequacy. Dr. Schulz noted one great danger brought out in the film; punishing a child as a means of teaching a lesson is one that backfires, and the child remembers only the punishment rather than learning the lesson. Parents have adult feelings which are not always fair to a child, he pointed out. In the open discussion which followed, it was brought out that a normal person is resilient and "bounces back" after fail ures. Feelings toward others are learned, not inherited. Dr. Schulz stated, and parents mold a child into the person he is apt to become, although not necessarily into the person the parents expect him to be. In the "room count" for the meeting, Mrs. Georgia Davis and Mrs. Dora Mae Shepard divided honors. Following the meeting, re freshments were served by the mothers of the pupils in the second grade.
