Doctor Urges Quiet Evening
Hour For School Children
“One hour of complete quiet in
the home after supper will accom
plish as much towaiTls helping a
child to master his schoolwork as al
most anything the family can do,’’
' declared Dr. Robert A. Fraser, Chief
Medical Director of the New York
Life Insurance Company, in com
menting on ways in which parents
cnn assist their children at the be
ginning of anew school year.
“It is unreasonable,’’ said Dr.
Fraser, “to expect that a child can
concentrate on his lessons in the
midst of the ordinary distractions
common to most homes. Not only
are school grades likely to suffer,
but the child’s nervous and physical
condition can be affected. Whether
we realize it of not, the radio,
laughter, conversation, singing, any
and all of these constitute disturb
ances that are almost insurmount
able for the average child when he
has schoolwork to do.”
Fathers and mothers should co
operate with the child, Dr. Fraser
feels, and see to it that a quiet hour
is strictly and regularly enforced.
Let it begin about a half an hour
after the evening meal, after the
dishes and other household tasks are
out of the way, and then for the
space of one hour the radio should
be quiet, there should be no con
versation between members of the
family, no singing or piano playing,
no noise of any kind that the family
can avoid. Under such conditions
the child will be able to concentrate
on his schoolwork and get the great
est benefit from the time spent on
his books.
“Strangely enough, “Dr. Fraser
added, “in families where the quiet
hour is put into effect, the adults
are usually the ones who derive the
most actual satisfaction from it.
Mother and father discover that dur
ing that period they relax physically
and mentally, and they enjoy the
opportunity for undisturbed reading
and rest.”
A child should study in a room by
himself, when possible, and Dr. Fras
er recommends giving the child a
desk of his own, where he can keep
his belongings with the understand
ing that no one will molest them.
The desk need not be an expensive
affair. Even a couple of packing
cases, with pimple alterations and a
little paint, can be made to serve.
Equip the desk with good light and
a suitable chair, and have the child
use it for all his studying and home
work.
“Most parents,” says Dr. Fraser,
“make a mistake in offering too
much help with the child’s home
work. Don’t try to be a teacher.
The chances are you will be doing
more harm than good. Methods of
teaching have changed markedly in
(La past twenty years, in both ele
mentary and high schools, and in all
1 kelihood the parent will not under
stand what system is being used with
his child and will attempt to explain
the subject as it was taught to him
self.
“The result is inevitable. Either
the child is bewildered and unable
to understand, or there is a clash of
wills between parent and child over
which method to use. Either way,
the outcome is detrimental.”
The wise parent, according to Dr.
Fraser, gives a minimum of actual
help, but backs up the classroom
teacher and lends her all the moral
support possible. A visit to the
school frequently result in parents
having a much better understanding
of what is being attempted, and they
can find out how they can be of
greatest help both to the teacher
and the child.
Parents should have their children
examined by a physician either be
fore school starts or as soon there
after as possible. Diphtheria inocu
lation, which usually is not compul
sory, is strongly advised for children
starting school. Eyesight, hearing
and teeth should be carefully check
ed by doctor and dentist.
Frequently parents will note tell
tale signs indicative of defective
hearing and eyesight, and in such
cases a doctor should be consulted at
once. If the child squints when
reading, holds the book markedly
close to his eyes or complains of
headaches, there is a strong possi
bility of impaired vision. If the
child seems inattentive and indiffer
ent and must have remarks repeated
before replying, his hearing should
be tested.
Above all, see to it that school
children get plenty of sleep. Not
less than ten or eleven hours for
the yougsters; not less than nine
hours for the boys and girl* in mid
dle and later “teens”. Remember

Drunken Women Crowding City
Prison, Say* Mayor
Atlanta.—lncreasing drunkenness
among women was blamed Friday by
Mayor Hartsfield for the crowded
conditions in the women’s quarters
at the city prison and stockade.
“Women and whisky just won’t
mix,” the Mayor declared.
“The police have advised me that
drunken women constitute the great
est single disorderly element they
have to deal with and that the situ
ation is getting worse every day.
“If something is not done right
away to curb drunkenness among
women, we’re going to have to en
large our prison facilities to care for
them.”
Lawrenceville’c Oldset Citizen Can
Still Fix The Steeple Clock
Lawrenceville, Ga. Lawrence
ville’s oldest resident is John Hines
Shackelford, and he lives on the spot
where he was born eighty-six years
ago.
A jeweler for seventy years, Mr.
Shackelford is still active in his
trade, and for the past fifty-two
years, ever since the Courthouse was
built, it has been his job to keep the
Courthouse clock in good running
condition. That job frequently re
quires him to climb seventy-five
feet through the interior of the
building to the clock, and only a
few days ago he made repairs that
required a steady five hours on the
job.
Mr. Shackelford’s record a3 a
spectator of notable fires is probably
unexcelled. He witnessed the burn
of Atlanta by Sherman’s army, and
recalls the fire in 1863 that destroy
ed the first cotton warehouse estab
lished in this section of Georgia. He
also saw the fire that destroyed the
old Courthouse in 1872.
