Old World Imitate Us. The toy industrial revolution has made the United States a world headquarters for Christmas shop per. who migrate annually from every European nation just to see whats new in the American toy industry. Where a scant few years ago our own toys came from abroad, Japanese and German manufacturers now copy our products. Often they attempt to sell cheap Imitations in the United States. The revolution wasnt spontaneous; a dozen years ago struggling American .toy makers protested when psychologists and educators told them that may be amusing, but certainly not very Instructive. Armed with fancy fig urea about child behavior and the need for toys that would develop young minds, these uplift societies forced their wares on toy manufacturers. For several years American youth was showered with Christmas gifts it was supposed to like, but didnt Sorely puzzled, the psychologists were alow to find a remedy: why not ask children themselves what kind of toys they wanted? So they tried it and discovered that American boys and girls like nothing better than, imitating Moth, er and Dad. Thats why 1938 Christmas toys stress miniatures authentic reproductions of trains, automobiles, baby buggies, bassinettes and airplanes.

They've decided to give children sensible toys, playthings built to stand abuse, to develop strong bodies and agile minds. Having made peace with the educators and psychologists, theyve enlisted desijpers, chemists, professional inventors and engineers to help meet the new demand. When buying toys this Christmas, you'll be wise to follow the six objectives prescribed by experts, who say a child should have at least one type of toy from each classification: i Physical exercisers. J Sense developers (color, texture, shape and sound). ' 3 Building toys, for and consciousness of ability to do things. 4 Make believe toys, devices for imitative play. 5 Handwork materials leading to arts and crafts.

But your selection should also bo guided by the table of values established by the same experts. The correct toys for your youngster should meet these requirements: 1 Durability. 2 Stimulation of 3 Correct toy for the given age. - 4 Principles of aesthetics. 9 Sanitation and hygiene. Zlppered Teddy Bear! The latter factor is stressed by modern toy makers. For the very young child only vegetable dyes are used. Sharp corners have been eliminated and dangling appendages (too easily detached and swaUowed) are taboo. There is emphasis on forms and materials that can be kept scrupulously clean. Even ted' d dy bears are now made with a skin that can be removed and laundered, while many wood toys can also be washed. While ad) irlng to these scientific principles, toy makers have not for gotten that their young customers are primarily interested in being entertained. For example, ita much better for a child to develop muscle and through si vehicle (like a toy automobile or tricycle) than by calisthenics. Similarly, In the most pleasant way possible, toys reveal talents and aptitudes, often overcoming deficiencies.

Tested Under Fire. Every toy that finds its way to the Christmas tree this year might well bear the label, Child Tested and Approved." After the inventor and child psychologists have perfected them, the playthings find their way to nursery ant sand pile for thorough trial before being manufactured in quantity lots. First, the experimenters want to discover whether their toy can stand up under hard wear. Second, it must hold interest long after the novelty stage has passed, which was one serious fault with the toys yesterdays children received each Christmas. By New Years day they had usually been consigned to the closet. By additional experimentation ' they discover what age group most enjoys the toy, and it is manufactured accordingly. Many large store are segregating their toy displays by ages thia year, a boon to the uninitiated uncle or aunt who d doesnt know whether a doB girl should have a dress-u- p or just a plain rag baby. As for the toy makers, theyre happy about the whole thing. Says James L. Fri, managing director of the Toy Manufacturers of the United States: By increasing the purposefulness of playthings, their imaginative "appeal and educational value have been greatly enhanced, and consequently the market for toys fias steadily broadened. zip-pere- Chinese Names of Months English translation of the Chinese names of the months follows: Holt day Moon, Budding Moon, Sleepy Moon, Peony Moon, Dragon Moon, Lotus Moon, Moon of Hungry Ghosts, Harvest Moon, Chrysanthemum Moon, Kindly Moon, White Moan and.
