The Round Table Club was successful in securing Mrs. Lyons of Winona to come to Syracuse last Thursday afternoon and give one of her most interesting talks on child psychology. A fair sized crowd greeted Mrs. Lyons in the assembly room of the high school, where she talked at length on the subject that lies near to her heart. She is an ardent student of child psychology and goes out among the various schools and teaches it. The first thought discussed was that every child should be examined by I the county nurse and have a diet prescribed. She suggested for the child of underweight plenty of cocoa, milk, hot soups, whole wheat bread, cereal, vegetables and the proper amount of sleep. Mrs. Lyons said every child should be in bed by 8:30 o’clock, in a room where there is plenty of fresh air. A woman on every school board was strongly endorsed’by the speaker, bright women, with plenty of brains on all subjects, would solve much of the perplexing questions that arise with most school boards. She also strongly urged the organization of a parent-teacher’s association that through this organization large things can be accomplish ed, such as being interested in and with the school board in working out the plan of havint a larger play ground for the school children. The thought in the talk did not altogether touch upon the children, but a strong emphasis was laid upon the fact that parents must be trained as well. She said teachers in the schools could not train the children alone, when the parents of some of them needed training equally as bad, and that wher you found a child hard to con trol in the school, very often you would find right in that child’s home training for the parent? was needed badly, because thr parents sowed the seed in the child for six years before thr teacher had control over it. The parent-teachers' association would alleviate much of thh strife. t * A standard dress for high school girls and boys was men tioned. Here the speaker wen’ over a category of suggestion? that would assist in getting mom of the young people through high school if they did not have to worry about their clothes, and trying to keep pace with those who wore clothes to school that were more like party dresses etc. A suggestion was that the mothers put their heads together and solve this problem. A community building for good, clean entertainment for young school children, , was strongly advised, one where a supervisor might be in charge. She said it was required in some states that the bible be read in the schools. Pupils of different faiths could be sent to different rooms and taught their respective religions. Cigarettes, sex-hygiene, etc. She advised that parents be companions to their boys and girls, and said the vital things in life should come to the children from the lips of the parents, as fast as the child mind developed, and be able to answer questions as fayt as the child grew old enough to ask them. Co-operation between parent and teacher. Mrs. Lyons, now a teacher in the fourth and fifth

grades in the Winona schools, also a mother of several children, said that children progress much faster in school when the parents keep posted on what is going on in school. Let the child know that you are interested in its work and be able to talk to it about the duties and problems that daily confront the child. Stand ready to assist the teacher in anything the course requires and do not be too ready to criticise the teacher in the child's presence, but rather speak a word of praise, and in this way the child will learn to love and confide in the teacher and thus get along better with the studies. A first aid cabinet in the school, a rest room for those who become ill, for both teacher and pupil. Keep the body in good physical condition by using the gymnasium, which every school should have, was the stirring, closing remarks. j At the close of the lecture, automobiles were in waiting and took the members of the Round Table and their guest, Mrs. Lyons, and a few friends out to Sargent’s Hotel on the lake?where a sumptuous chicken dinner was served iri the evening. Nineteen covers were laid, where, among the beautiful decorations, balmy breezes and the comfort of friends, the evening hour spent at the dinner table will not soon be forgotten by those present. Mrs. Sargent, » member of the club, was a charming hostess, and her pleasing manner is winning for her a,wide circle of friends. The hotel has been remodeled and enlarged and undergone many changes this spring, as the number of tourists who come tc the hotel every summer has greatly increased, and more room was the only way to be able to accommodate the number oi increasing guests. Those who had the pleasure of spending the evening with Mrs. Sargent were: Mrs. Nora Wilcox, Miss Irene Sprague, Mrs. Ross Osborn. Mrs. Violet Sheets, Mrs. Zella Leacock, Miss Leotta Packer. Miss Agnes Evans, Mrs. Alldcan Strieby, Mrs. Robert Pletcher, Mrs. L. E. Schlotterbaek, Mrs Charles Bowersox, Mrs. W. G. Connolly, Mrs. Harry Hire. Mrs. Lyons, Mrs. C. R.
