: New Concept of Time Recommended | In Directing Children's Development 2 BECAUSE CHILDREN of the same calendar age may be years

apart in physical and mental development, a new concept of time in

dealing with children was recommended recently by Daniel “A. Prescott, professor of education at the University of Chicago and director of the division of child development of the American Council on Education. Dr. Prescott spoke on “The Human Being as an Organism” before

educators attending a conference on human development and educa-

tion at the university.

“It would be more accurate tc measure children’s ages in terms of biological time, which is the individual’'s rate of progress through the life cycle,” Dr. Prescott declared. “With such a concept teachers would begin to give instruction in reading when the crystalline lens > of the child's eyes had reached the right level of development and when other physical and mental factors were also at the right stage

of reading readiness.”

EDUCATORS should likewise remember that all children develop biologically at different rates, he

said.

“1f we were to figure children’s ages in terms of wheré they are in the life cycle, we would have to take into account the fact that some boys of 16 are at the same level of have reached at 12. Yet we don’t think of allowing some children four years more than others. to go through

The concept of biological time is also important in understanding why girls in the primary grades learn faster than boys, Dr. Prescott

said.

Girls continue to ‘develop - more rapidly than boys until the age of “At 12 the average girl has reached a level of physical and mental development that boys do not attain until 14.

League Urges Voters to Pick Candidates

Times Special WASHINGTON, Aug. 26.— The woman’s suffrage amendment is 22 years old today. Upon this first celebration af

world at war, Miss Marguerite M. Wells, president of the national League of Women Voters, has issued

league and calling on all voters to make their éhoices of candidates for public office “in time.” Her statement from the league's Washington headquarters said: “In a war for the survival of democracy the niche of the League of Women Voters is already carved out. League women for 22 years have worked toward a democratic government fit to survive. Now they merely work faster and reach more citizens. The league’s text is: No democratic government will run unless the people run it. “The good sense people show this election year in choosing those who are to run their government will decide whether or not we shall win the war and keep our freedom. Aug. 26, the anniversary of women’s enfranchisement, is near the end of the time for choosing rival candidates, a fateful period after which choices. will be too narrow for safety. The league’ takes the opportunity of the celebration to appeal to voters to make choices in time.”

lieves that women are just as good as men on most flying jobs, and} sometimes better. The women pilots—who comprise a majority of the approximately 3500 registered in the country—are members of the civil air patrol, organized a week before Pearl Harbor to work for the army and navy. They form about one-tenth of the CAP’s total enrollment. : A veteran flier himself, Maj. Johnson said there are “more good pilots in a group of 100 women (in CAP) than in a similar group :of men.” “The reasons are that they work harder, are more serious about their jobs and carry through better on details,” he said. The only limitation placed on women in CAP is an order against
