THE LAKE SHORE NEWS, FRIDAY FEBRUARY 9, 1923 STUDY FAILURE FAULT AT HOME Says Teachers Must Have Parental Instinct Declaring that "the general spirit ot the college student, his resistance to sin and temptation, and the ability to co- operate with others for his own good depends very largely upon the home con- ditions that have shaped^ his career. Dr. Elmer E. Jones, Director ot the School of Education of Northwestern university, gave "the proper training of parents" as the solution for a great deal of the difficulty in training children. Dr. Jones' opinion was rendered last Wednesday beiore the student body of the National Kindergarten and Element- ary-cottege, and is of general interest be- cause of recent attention given to activ- ities of college students. >f "It does not seem quite fair, Dr. Jones declared, "that when a boy or girl in the freshman year â€"fails, they are put on the scrap heap and sent home, with- out taking into consideration the home itself." Praises Kindergarten related to parental - careâ€"-it is a deep- lying instinct that dominates and con- trols the mother heart. There is in the teacher, and particularly in the kinder- gartner, something of this same parent- al instinct that enters into the profession which they learn and are endeavoring to perfect. To me it is impossible for the teacher to succeed unless in one way or another she can actually participate in this eternal parental instinct, for children are placed with her a certain period of every day, in much the same way that they are under the care of the parent the remainder of the time. In many in- stances the i public school is taking the place of the parent and giving the care which parents arc unable to give. "Many parents think their responsibil- itv ends when the child enters school. This is wrong. There should be co- operation with the teacher but she is not his parent. Parental care involves a thorough study of the child in order to help him to do something and be something worth while." CONFINED BY ILLNESS Dr. O. H. Bersch. optometrist with , „..,,. .______._____ offices in the Rockholdjmilding, has been By-€^mpa*tsonr-B^-^ne3-pi^isrrhthtr jmnrmedTTo Tns "home for^a"tew~days investigate, the does not >eem to f§^- kindergarten, which home when the child fit into his work. Dr. Jones said in part: "I have a feeling that the kindergarten is more interested in the home and in parents and their efficiency than any other educational institution. At college when a girl or a boy in the freshman year fails and we put them on the 'scrap heap' and send them" home, we never take into consideration the home. It makes very* little difference to us. This does not seem quite fair, because undoubtedly the mental ability and train- ing, the general spirit of the student and his resistance to sin and temptation and ^biHtyjto co-operate_ with, others for his >wn jgood dependvery largely upon the home conditions that have shaped his scafeer. In my observations of the kin- dergarten you do pay attention to__home- ^conditions. If a child does not seem to fit into the work that you are trying to <fo for hftn the first place you investigate i$ the home. You ask the co-operation of tfie parents and fn many cases find the ,cause for the condition by contact With the parents. 3fv^|£u*jiaft beings are not the only aojjtials (hat give parental care.

Shepard, department of political science, Ohio, State University. "There is little or no perceptible difference evident, so far in the char- acter-of the vote since the advent ot the woman suffrage amendment, de- clared Professor Shepard. "Women do not* vote differently from men, as they are subject to practically the same influences as are men. They divide the issues along lines similar to males," he continued. "Even on the liquor issue the ex- pected did not happen. In Illinois, where it was possible to tabulate the women's vote, woman suffrage did not work to the advantage of the dry cause, at least to the extent that had been expected" North Shore Properties 513-4tb Street Wilmette Phone 1304 A.
