Merits of Progressive Education Are Outlined

Progressive education is growing beyond the defensive stage, for next fall 1200 pupils from 30 representative schools are to be admitted to more than 250 colleges and universities without regard to the course and unit requirements now generally in force and without examinations. Wilford M. Aikin, Ohio State University, talked on progressive education to Orchard School parents, faculty, patrons and friends last night in the school’s new playhouse. Mr. Aikin is national chairman of the commission on the relation of school and college of the Progressive Education Association. Mr. Aikin explained that the history of progressive education is the record of attempts to discover the real child and his capacities, and to create an environment for their most satisfactory development. "We want to place the child in an environment in which there is shar-

Old-Fashioned Buffets Easily Made Modern A built-in buffet with doors of colored glass above a waist-high shelf will be found in nine out of 10 houses of a certain period. These houses have many good features and recently have been bought by many persons with large families who wish to remodel them. By removing the glass doors and painting the shelves the same color as the woodwork or a contrasting shade, a happy, modem effect may be achieved with little expense. Modernization funds, obtained through an institution which cooperates with the Federal Housing Administration, may be used to make this change in a dining room of this type.

ing, rather than competition, and which will develop a sense of responsibility for community welfare. If we can do these things in democratic society, we can hope to make the progress toward our dream of society,” he said. He labeled the fixed educational pattern of Italy, Germany and Russia as a return to tribal forms of life, a retrogression. Mr. Aikin pointed out that the teacher in the progressive educational school does not conceive his chief task to be the discovery of what a pupil doesn’t know. "The teacher understands his responsibility to be that of leadership, stimulation and guidance of the pupil in his work,” he said. The new system, as Mr. Aikin described it, emphasizes natural, wholesome and vigorous living in the school. It promotes greater continuity of teacher and student relationship, following lines of special interests, wise use of leisure time, and studies of individual students, he said. Emphasis is placed, Mr. Aikin explained, upon contemporary civilization, helping the child to understand problems of society and developing concern for common welfare. Bride-to-Be to Be Entertained Miss Joanna Kennington is to entertain at her home, 1478 Bosartav, tomorrow night with bridge and linen shower in honor of Miss Viola Bindner, who is to be married to Anthony A. Kennington in the Church of the Little Flower April 14. Miss Bindner is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Bindner. Mr. Kennington’s parents are Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Kennington.

Keep Eye on Friend, Jane Says

Watch for Inclination to Shift Blame, Girl Is Told Jane Jordan will help yot with your problems by her answers to yocr letters in this column. Write today! Dear Jane Jordan —I am a girl 16 years old and I go with a boy over 16. He is a good dancer and a good singer. I care a lot about him and he says he feels the same way about me. I have been hearing

a lot of things about him which I think are not true. One evening he told me the whole truth. Before he knew me he went with a girl whom he thought was a nice, clean, respectable girl. Her mother and father were away one evening and she telephoned

Jppl* mr is

Jane Jordan

him to come over to her house. The next time he went over he had to go to court. Later he found out that the girl was no good. He found out that she had been in trouble with another boy. The way he explained the whole thing it looks like the girl and her parents were trying to trick him into marrying her. He said he didn’t know why. He is without parents and has to make his own way. There is no money which they could be after. He doesn’t seem like a boy who would hurt a girl like that. Mother thinks he is an awfully nice boy and he has a lot of friends even if he is mixed up in this thing. You just can’t help but like him. He said if he didn’t care a lot about me he never would have trusted me with the story. Do you think I should still go with him? FLO. Answer: One mistake ought not to spoil a boy’s whole life. Many decent fellows have had an amatory accident somewhere along the line but most of them manage not to get caught. If girls were obliged to choose their frinds from the 100 per cent pure, the choice would be fairly limited. I imagine. He should be judged by his life as a whole and not by an isolated experience. An older and wiser girl might question his easy shifting of the blame for this occurrence onto the shoulders of his temptress. mind might hark back to a story which has come down through the ages about a couple named Adam and Eve. “The woman tempted and I did eat.” In your opinion, does that excuse everything? If you decide to keep this boy as a frfend, wouldn’t it be wise for you to keep your eyes open and see if this tendency to place blame for what happens to him outside himself runs through his whole behavior? Does he shoulder responsibility readily or is he a sympathy seeker? Do you like him for his positive qualities, for his strength in dealing with circumstance, or do you espouse his cause because he appears to be a martyr in your eyes? Some girls choose a weak character in a boy friend because they can dominate him more easily. To stand by a boy whom others condemn makes them feel virtuous, superior. I do not know the boy and can not tell whether he is one who reacts to disaster with the spirit to overcome it by useful endeavor, or whether he simply feels sorry for himself and clings only to those who share his sympathy. I can not pass on his fitness or unfitness for friendship. I only can tell you what to look for in forming a just estimate of him as an individual. To sing and dance well is not enough.

Couple Starts , Trip Following Marriage Here Mr. and Mrs. Nathan M. Davis are on a wedding trip to South Carolina and the East following their marriage here yesterday. Mrs. Davis was Miss Emily Reeves Watson, daughter of Mrs. Maud Landon Watson, Kokomo, and niece of Hugh McK. Landon. Mrs. Davis is a graduate of Tudor Hall School for Girls and Smith College. , Mr. Davis, a son of Lawrence B. Davis, is an Indiana University graduate. He was one of the founders of the Traders Point Hunt. Warns Against Communist Foe Registration of aliens, legislation which would curb Communistic activities and general public sentiment against Communistic teachings were urged today by Mrs. Curtis Hodges, who spoke before the Woman’s Federation of the First Evangelical Church on “Communism and the Church of Today.” “Those who would undermine the ideals of today are hoping to reap results tomorrow,” she said. “Sinister forces are at work, and one of the most powerful is Communism. Their efforts should arouse every patriotic woman to the realization of the need for united action. “The fact that they put great emphasis on the winning of youth is evident by the secretive way in which, acording to their own statements, they work to impress the minds of students on college campuses.” PERMANENTS Shampoo, Set.

MY DAY By Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt

YORK—This has been a slightly busy day. I started out for a meeting with a group of women this morning and spent nearly two hours with them. I took my daughter, two friends, Mrs. June Hamilton Rhodes and Miss June Brett, to lunch at the Biltmore Hotel. After that, my

daughter and I did a little hurried shopping. I got back to pick up Mrs. Scheider at the Democratic State Committee office, and found that an old friend of mine had sent three men with a plea that I see them. They turned out to be sharecroppers, one white and one Negro man from Arkansas, and a white man from Oklahoma. They told a pitiful tale abou* the sharecroppers who had been evicted, or who had been obliged to leave their land because they could not make a living. They were interesting types. One of them seemed almost like the traveling parson of my

youth, w’ho went from little church to little church preaching the gospel and living on anything which the neighbors would give him. The sharecropper talked of the Lord but his mind was also on material things which the Lord was not supplying—material things for others, however, for it was quite evident that he had had few of the good things of life himself. Os course, as I knew little or nothing about their conditions, I had to turn them over to people who could ldok into their case. From there Mrs. Scheider and I went to the Henry Street Settlement. I thought I was being economical by taking the subway, but it landed us quite a way from Grand-st and we could not get a taxi until we had walked several blocks, so I was late. I was there at the invitation of a student group, and most of the audience were comparatively young people. They had three young speakers followed by Mark McCloskey, New York City regional director of the National Youth Administration, and myself. Questions were asked afterward. I was presented with a lovely little statue done by James Wolfe of the Henry-st pottery class. I shall treasure it as a memento of two atifi a half very interesting hours with the young people of the Lower East Side of New York City. (Copyright, 1936. by United Feature Syndicate. Inc.)
