THE BANNBR-HBRALP. ATHENS, GEORGIA. 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 -M. S. C. Mr A. II.
