Show Personal Interest and Good Example Best Aid for the Future Generation By DR. EDWARD FITZPATRICK, Dean Marquette University No progress has ever been made in any field nor can it be made in work with boys and girls until there is "somebody who cares." Personal interest must be taken in the boy and girl and the approach must be skillfully made. It is also well to remember the imitativeness of boys and girls and hence the necessity of good examples. Great value lies in studying the child as an individual, not as a member of a group, in order that the true child may be properly nnder- stood.
