Our Children By Mrs. W. B. Davis Physchology of Baby Care The little everyday happenings in the life of a 3-year-old child may seem very unimportant in deed. Yet they may determine the direction of the whole social development of the individual. Adults who are complaining or petulant or irresponsible or sub ject to emotional outbursts are often what they are because of habits learned in this pre-school period. These problems of social adjustment in infancy are subtle and difficult, and few parents are professional parents! And though most mothers won’t admit it, the small child about the home is not always an unmitigated joy; he is semetimes a burden or even an exasperation. Further, many modern homes give no contact with adults other than the par ents, aunts and grandparents and friends are less often in the home than used to be the case. The modern small family may contain no other children. How splendid it would be if there were places to which a mother’s spoiled child might go for part of each day to be under the eye of adults who did know about small children, and in association with other children who might themselves teach them. The nursery school might well seem an answer to prayer. The nursery school enthusiast should be careful not to attribute to the nursery school social de velopment which would come about anyhow, as a result of maturation and the ordinary ex periences of everyday life. For the time being, social develop ment of the youngsters in the nursery school may be hastened; but by the age of 8 there may be little difference as compared with non-nursery school children. Per haps the chief result will be a lit tle more social confidence—an outcome of importance, but possi bly obtainable more practically in the great majority of children by other means. In short, it might be charged that the great need as regards understanding of the pre-school child is to get the investigators out of the nursery school! Haitians Applaud Wallace And Paul Robeson By Jocelyn M. Francois Port-Au-Prince, Haiti—(ANP)~ Public opinion here is strongly impressed with the recent state ments of Henry A. Wallace, form er secretary of commerce of the United States, but resents the at tacks of the Miami Herald on Haiti, only because it is a Negro country. Also standing in high is Paul Robeson for his remarks to Presi dent Trun an on behalf of the Negro people of America. This Negro brother of the United States is greatly appreciated be cause of this. Haitians approve, without reservations, the request for a more equitable and demo cratic status made by him for Negroes, an look up this as a fur their message of solidarity be tween Haiti and American Ne groes.

Witter founder of the organization was presented a gift. We appreciated the cooperation of the members and the public. A splendid program in which Little Miss Winnifred Winston was guest soloist was the highlight of the evenings entertainment. -o No one can come constantly in to contact with cheap books, cheap plays and cheap persons without becoming like them. Campus News jSv-fr. .' by Jeanne Malone An interdenominational and in terracial meeting was held at the Urban League by the Presbyteri an university students and Negro university students of various faiths, Sunday, October 20, from 5:00 to 7:00. The meeting was opened by the singing of a few hymns and the reading of devotions. Mr. Frank Hale introduced the speak er of the evening, Mr. Lynwood Parker, who related some of the activities of the Urban League and with the help of Mr. Clyde W. Malone, executive secretary and Miss Katherine Thompson, group work supervisor answered questions of the national as well as local Urban League. Refresh ments which had been prepared by the Presbyterian students were served. Group singing was led by Mr. Charles Goolsby as a part of the recreation period which followed. The meeting was closed by the formation of a friendship circle and the singing of a hymn. Miss Juanita “Hank” Hanger modeled an evening gown in the annual Friendship dinner and Fall Style Show given by the Coed Counselors whose primary function is to acquaint freshmen women with the campus. This was the first appearance of a Negro girl in this activity and was definitely another notch toward better collegiate race re lations. Until recently there have been no Negro members of the Coed Councelors. At the present how ever there are two: Miss Melsena Goolsby and Miss Ruth Norman. These two very different inci dents while very small in them selves are steps toward better racial integration.
