SUNDAY, JULY 27, 1924.
A DELIGHTFUL
LAWN PARTY
On Thursday afternoon at ala
o'clock, a most unique lawn parts
•waa given tft tbe home of Mra. C.
A. Vtr Noy, on Milledg e avenue.
Aa the heat of the day was turn
ing to the cool of the evening, the
guest*-, arrived and were escorted
to th* back lawn, tt lovely spot
circled with flowers and shrubbery
and cut off from the sights and
sounds of the outside world. Here
was gathered a group of promi
nent ^womcn from all over Geor
gia, *wh6 Wive been attending the
course In ParenUTeacher Associ
ation work, offered at the Uni
versity.
Delicious salads and Ices were
served, and bonus of friendshii
wer« strengthened in pleasant talk.
™ «» |.tUU|> LUU1U I1U( lung
keep quiet on the subject nearest
their hearts* and soon they were
again discussing the child,
hohte and the school.*
Mr*.' Arthur C. Watkins, nat
ional secretary and leader of the
P. T. A. course was asked
outline dace again her ideas
the value of the preuwhool train
ing.
Sh« said in part:
, “We ar« a nation ot sis graders
- The large majority of children nev
er go to school after the sixth
grade. It Is'not fair to the teach
ers to expect them to educate
child in six yeara when the moth
er haa done nothing to train that
child- in the first six years of its
life. - One often hears a mother
_ say tb an unruly child, /Wait till
you to school, the teacher will
make you mind! * This la not fair
to thg. teacher or the child,
first years are the most impres.
slonable and In them the habit* ol
the alter, life should be formed
All kinds of right habits, healthy
and social, and £gliglous. The
habits of proper eating, sleeping
bathing and exercising should b<
acquired. Hs should .earn how to
ptay with N^he neighbor children
10 be one In a group, to play fats
and hot always have his own way
as an only child Is apt to de
mand. He must learn to obey those
in authority., as this is ona of the
foundation stones of future good
cltisensAip. He shou.d begin to
appreciate the beautiful In nature
pictures, -music. Of course, thl.
I* the time for him to load fejtf
lundamenui conception tf .
Hut mOet important of all, the
mother'should turn the child
to the teacher, a healthy, normal
llttie uaimui."
Mrs. Watkins was asked, **Wlth
such a background as this, what
part would »h c kindergarten play
in tbe development of the child?'*
Mho answered, "It continues all
of thiso beginnings, and serves os
, tho formal link between ih^^botnc
and the school."
Dr. Bernard W. Carey wa* .thi
only man present, bui bis opinion
Is weighty enough to be quoted
He said, *T consider tho kindergar
ten period the most important in
the school life of tbe child, from
the health view point .at least at
thft time physical defects shou,d
be detected and removed as faults
are much iqor* easily oorreetd now
than later, ‘she people -ot this
town should do more to uphold the
hands v of'Mrs. Vcr Nooy, who hai
been fh« one to show most whole,
heartediy h«r interest in tnls sub
Ject. However, I may say that
Athens is now mors awake u
health problems than any^othet
city of Its sise in tbe Uhited
btales, and that Is putting It con-
aorvatively."
Th* happy group A could have
continued the talk indefinitely, but
the deepening shadows summon**
them to their own homes and lit-
\ t.o ones. I
