Use modern methods of analyzing their temperamental differences and emotional trends, follow direct scientific methods of training desirable traits through daily activities, and provide abundant association with other children. Undesirable emotions can be readily eliminated through the substitution of desirable emotional attitudes, interest and habits, integrated into the daily activities of the schoolroom or home. Nagging has no place in this program. Illustrative character studies from the Iowa preschool laboratories, where children are admitted at the age of eighteen months and have been studied xlaiiy for nearly 6ix years, demonstrate how the ordinary fears of childhood and adult life had been eliminated or avoided, how undue and timidity had been overcome, and and developed. Pronounced egotism and selfishness have been thwarted. One study was used to a bright childs intelligence rating through a period of six years of daily observation and training. Character, emotional, esthetic and social training should form an integral part of every modern elementary school curriculum. train-childre- in fa a Privilege By WLLIAM T. FOSTER, Economic Research Official. VERPRODUCTION and unemployment are problems subject to A , human control without any radical change in government. first step is to recognize a fact long ignoredJby economists, that producing goods does not automatically furnish buyers. Once we recognize the' existence of the of the way problem we are toward a solution. The last 12 months manufacturers turned over goods in excess of 6,000,000,000 to buyers who did not have the money to pay Of this, 3,000,000,000 is not yet paid for. Yet the price level has steadily declined. The Simple Simons of our day do not have to face many Piemen who demand "first your penny. They say rather, Take your goods and This situation is merely an indication that business pay as you can. faces overproduction. It forecast business without a buyer. It is posta recession of business that it cannot, postpone very long. poning No nation has yet studied consumption. Every national system is organized to finance production on the principle that the people will have the money to buy what they have worked to manufacture. We could leave all this as it is, allow every individual to act as he ees fit," make no charges in our monetary system and still solve the problem. We could do this by so ordering our vast government expenditures and receipts that they could serve as proper and adequate corrective measures to periods of too much production or not enough buying. This is all that is necessary for business to go forward with confidence. ts News Notes to Live Application of Proper Principles . fr eeeee ns Utah Myton One of the Industries which is attracting the attentton ot several farmers in the basin thla year, while considering the subject of diversified endeavor, Is the raising of poultry.
