*P° YOU KNOW what your emotions are?” Parents of a School 82 junior high student looked blankly at each other across the dinner table, “Huh!” stammered father. “Well,” gasped mother, holding up her finger to count. = ~ But they were far behind. Their youngster clocked them off. He had learned all about them in Human Relations. “Human Relations,” explains Mrs. Jeanne Goss, School 82 principal; “is a course in feel: ing rather than knowing. “It teaches a child how to live.” ‘This plan to meet the emotiohal needs of children was developed several years ago by a group of psychologists, psychiatrists and teachers in Delaware. Popularly known as the “Delaware Plan,” it has been employed exten. sively throughout the country. Mrs. Goss established it as a junior high course for the first time in any Indianapolis public school. School 3, 9, 24, 56, 57, 60 and 85 are currently using the plan. Schools 38 and 66 are in the process of adopting it. e ® % BEFORE SHE ASKED official permissien to tiy the course, the principal personally sounded out the plan with a couple of well-known local psychiatrists, “It was the first logical suggestion for helping develop emotion and teaching children to face life’s problems I had ever found,” comments the educator. She has been an elementary school principal for 15 years, a teacher for many more, Since September, 1047, just as the first printed material on the subject became available, it has been presented for one period each week in No. 82, Instructors’ texts for the two-year course are two:books on “Human Relationships in Classroom” authored by H. Edmund Bullis and Emily E. O'Malley. . Only junior high pupils took it the first two years. Since last year sixth graders have had

HR, too.

A story on a particular theme, as “Emotions Displayed at Halloween,” opens the class period. Discussion follows. From an objective approach to the story problem the child soon

“He Is ‘encouraged to discuss his problems and reactions. He learns they are normal. He learns why he loves, hates and fears, what are his good—and bad-—characteristics. “Children - develop through reliving emotional experierices,” observes Mrs. Goss. “All expressions from them, both written and oral, are voluntary.” There are no books for the pupils, no homework. All study is in the classroom. But—results soon seep into the school halls, into a more understanding relationship between children, between children and teachers and even into the homes. By the time one problem child has written

self. Another child always had headaches, made repeated trips to the nurse. After HR training she confessed she had a headache but “I know why.” She now recognized it as an emotional, not physical upset. If the course is successful, says Mrs. Goss, children should be better able to face life, better able to make decisions, accept responsibility more easily and meet unexpected changes without too much embarrassment, Three teachers assist Mrs, Goss in teaching the classes. They are Miss Sophia Waara, Miss Ruth Enzor and John Hickey. e 4 © THROUGH WHAT is called the acceptability test, given each semester,

these instructors learn who needs help and what kind. It serves as a check on themselves, indicates whether they are reaching the children. Lower grades are not neglected. Although there is no planned material for them at present, Mrs. Goss encourages the same resultant gain through creative expression, intimate talks and clubs. And how do the children react? They look forward to each class. One child wrote: “I like HR because I have a chance to express my thoughts about other people or myself.” Another said the discussions would help him understand boys and girls in a différent school Jo which he was changing. Still another said: “I like HR because it has helped me to get along better. I'have also made more friends. I believe that if men like Hitler and other dictators had taken HR as schoolboys, there would be no wars.”

DOUGHNUTS - 4 c. flour : 2 tbsps. melted butter 4 tsps. baking powder 1 c. milk 15 tsp. sal 1 tsp. vanilla le Pt 14 tsp. nutmeg 2 eggs

Sift the flour, measure and add the baking powder, nutmeg and salt. Then sift three times. Add the sugar gradually to well-beaten eggs. To the eggs and sugar add flour mixture and -milk alternately.’ Last add the flavoring. By experience I have found that the thorough chilling of the dough produces the extra special goodness. Therefore, chill it overnight. When the dough is really cold, roll it out onethird inch thick on a lightly floured board. Cut with a doughnut cutter and fry in deep fat (385 degrees F) until golden brown. Drain and roll in powdered sugar. Working with a small amount of this dough at a time keeps it stiff. Do not add more flour; simply chill it some more.

Rose Is a

By MARGUERITE SMITH Times Garden Editor WHEN Mrs. and Miss Indianapolis visit the National Rose Show that's holding forth in Ayres’ 6th floor Oct. 31 and Nov. 1, they're going to learn a lot about roses. They'll find out how to make a single dozen roses do duty all through the house from KP over the kitchen sink to jazzing up- the meek philodendron in the living room; for one item. Mr. Indianapolis will learn a few tricks, too—whether he’s bent oh brightening up a bachelor apartment, the boss’ desk, or his favorite lady’s birthday. These are just two of the tempting rosy tidbits to be displayed under such provocative titles as “One Dozen Roses at Work” and “Gentlemen Prefer Roses.”

Bathtub Dream

FOR in this super tfiower

show-—all roses-—every idea is dramatized. “I dreamed it up one day in the bathtub,” says Helen Hudson Webber, director of Roses, Inc.'s big show. “I'd been to a rose show. Everybody had oh'd - and ah’d about the exhibits. But what, I thought, do you do with the darlings when you get them home?” The national Rose Show is her answer to the question. “Career of a Rose” will tell you how Mrs. Webber believes _that “every woman can make her roses last a week.” “Fairy Tale Roses” will delight the youngest rosarians
