PAGE SIX THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE i FRIDAY, AUGUST 27, 194: New System of Education : Promotes Early Adjustment Personals Accounts of social events and of By HORACE B. WARD Louisville, Ky.--(AP) -- A sys« tem of education, designed to prevent chiddren from developing personalities that will handicap them later in life, is producing in- teresting results at the Cochran School in Louisville. Principal Ervin W. Detjen calls it the first application of guidance --with a capital G -- to elementary school pupils. He says that the system demon- strates that happy children learn more and that it helps youngsters to adjust themselves to their world early in life, \' Children at Cochran are asked "Are you unhappy?"; "are you afraid in the dark?"; "Which pu- pil in your class do you like best and why?" and similar questions.. These take their place alongside the more familiar class-room quer- ies, "How much is two and two?" or "What is the capital, of Spain.?" Colleges and high "schools for several years have practised guid- ance -- in the choice of courses and future vocations, and, to some extent, in the business of living. In fact, Cochran's principal and his wife, Mary Ford Detjen, have writ- ten several books about guidance --but, like other educators, they have always worked among older students, There were plenty to tell Det- jen that guidance wouldn't work with little folks, He insisted thas since many personality quirks have their start in early life, guidance ough? to begin early. So in Cochran School Detjen and his teachers have made guidance a game. The children don't know they are being analyzed and guides, although often the parents do. Games, Songs, Mottos In Cochran School the children pldy games, make up songs and devise mottos about being careful, helpful ' and: friendly. They some- times list the characteristics they like in other people, just as kids at a party might name their favorite songs or movie stars. The principal and his teachers also ask pupils to write composi- tions. Along with ordinary topics, the teachers suggest subjects such as "the story of my life," or "what I want to be when I grow up." Most interesting perhaps are the personality rating charts. Opposite the names of the children are col- umns headéd friendly, unfriendly, grouchy, cheerful, happy, unhappy --up to a total of 25 traits and in- dexes of personality. Figures in the cclumns show the number of class- mates who ascribed these charac- teristics to each one. Estimates are given by each child to the teacher in. confidence. The older ones write on check blanks; the younger pupils my "whisper in teacher's ear." The last column oft- en is the most significant -- it lists the number of pupils who would want each child for their best friend. Detjen started guidance at Coch- ran soon after he became principal there in September, 1946. He says guidance already has proved that happy, well-adjusted children learn more and cause less trouble than these who are unhappy or rebel- Hous.

Pat's father was a coach-build- er, and business was so bad that he could hardly gather together enough money to pay the fares. But recently many relations of film magnate Patrick Anthony Powers have been filing claims of kinship for benefit from his $8,000,- 000 estate. When he died in California the lad from Waterford was 80 years old and had been living for 20 years from businesses which owe much of their great- ness to his uncanny commercial energy. It was not many years after he landed with his family in New York that Patrick Powers became a name in the infant motion- picture industry of America. But before he went west to California he had left his mark in the east. For a whilé he worked at a bench in a cycle factory, but it was not long before he became the biggest cycle agent in America. About that time Edison invented the gramophone. Young Patrick realized that here was something big. He stepped ato the Edison Phonograph Company as a distri- buting representative, and was largely responsible for - placing "His Master's Voice"--with the trade-mark of the terrier listening to a horn gramophone--before the public. From then on there was no holding him. He built up and oper- ated 40 department stores all over America. He acquired hotels and big business concerns. Then he got in on the ground floor in motion pictures, and in 1912 became the first president of the Universal Film Corporation. Later he organized the Film Booking Offices of America, which later merged with RK.O. By now, fully entrenched in the distribu- tion side of the cinema, he intro. duced to the public Disney's car- toons, Then he retired and was almost forgotten. ii appriciated by the TELEPHONE 35 Miss Anne Sass of Chatham, is visiting her sister, Mrs. Joseph Zubkavich and Mr, Zubkavich, Huron Street. * +» Mrs. John Black, Albert Street, returned home after three weeks in Edmonton, Alberta, visiting her mother, Mrs. O.

Ask Beatification Of 'Mohawk Lily' Caughnawaga, Que, ' Aug. 27.-- (CP)--Here, where the citified scions of the once war-like Iro- quois dwell, a winsome Mohawk girl who died two and one half centuries ago was honored last week-end in special prayers for her beatifica- tion. The maid, now the Venerable Kateri Tekawitha, is buried in the Indian cemetery in this reservation village a few miles from Montreal. This is where she lived and carried on her Christian works, and here she died in 1680. Since 1884 Iroquois tribes have been praying for her canonization and for nearly two decades the Roman Catholic congregation of rites have been inquiring into her works. Now she is on the path to beatifi- cation which, under the Roman Catholic Church, is the next step to sainthood. Were that bestowed on Kater! it would make her the first native saint in North America. She has long been regarded by Christianized North American In- dians as "the loveliest flower that blossomed among the Indians." She has been called "the Lily of the Mohawks." Kateri"s father was a Mohawk, her mother an Algonquin Christian captured from Three Rivers, Que. When Kateri was four, smallpox wiped out her family. An uncle adopted her and despite his opposi- tion she became a Christian. But ill-treatment, because of this step, made life unbearable and with the help of Hot Ashes, an aged Chris= tian Oneida chief, she escaped to Caughnawaga where, until hex death four years later, her Chris- tian works are said to have as- tounded people.

That fee'ing of vitality --a clear skin, bright eyes, glossy hair--depend to a large extent on the food you eat. It isn't what you eat now and then that counts, but what you eat every day at every meal. A balanced diet may be a better beauty aid than many cos- metics. Wierzbiecki. Local Pair Exchange Vows MR.

Fifteen-months- --Photo by Campbell's Studio The Hague, Aug. 27--(Reuters)-- All the Netherlands, from the islands which ring the north coast to the coal mines in the south, are preparing for Queen Wilhelmina's golden jubilee to be celebrated next Tuesday, her 68th birthday. But the celebrationshave set the country a perplexing problem: 1, Every one wants to honor the ruler on completion of her 50 years' reign. 2. There is nation-wide sorrow that failing health and increasing years have forced the Queen to make this her last public function before she abdicates four days later in favor of her daughter, Princess Juliana, The Queen, in partial retirement since May, agreed at Juliana's re- quest, to return to the throne to give her subjects an opportunity fittingly to celebrate her jubilee as their sovereign. She requested that there be mo unnecessary expense or splendor at a time when thé Netherlands is beset with many postwar economic problems, yet Queen Wilhelmina realized that her people would in- sist upon celebrating in true "Dutch style." A solution to the "problem of sorrow in the abdication has been found in the decision to treat the Aug. 31 jubilee, the Sept. 4 abdica- tion and the Sept. 6 installaiton of Queen Juliana as three distinct events in the national history. King George of England has sent a collection of Netherlands pictures combining joy in the jubilee and | Beloved Dutch Soverign To Celebrate Golden Jubilee for a jubilee exhibition here. In Switzerland, an exhibition of Rem- brandt paintings has been organ- ized as a tribute to the Queen. There is the usual commercial side, too. An ice-cream contest in Rotterdam - produced the prize- winning "coupe reine Wilhelmina" -- an orange-red-white-and-blue tribute in confectionery. TWICE A YEAR Children usually have their full set of temporary teeth around three years of age and sometirie before then they 'should begin to visit the dentist regularly twice a year. By the time a child begins school, he should have learned to brush his teeth thoroughly twice a day. A good diet helps ensure a good set of strong, healthy teeth. Canadian Gladioli Create Sensation The Englishman's home was still his garden, as it had been for hundreds of years, said Mr. An- thony Eden, opening the London Evening News Flower Show at Ol- ympia. "There is nothing wrong with the soil of these islands, or with the people who dwell thereon," sald Mr. Eden. "Anyone who doubts that should look at this exhibition. They will be filled with faith and confidence." Flowers from the other side of the world were on show, a tribute from overseas gardeners to the gardeners of England. \ Philadelphia, city of brotherly love, sent an "Olympic" Shield with small flowers forming the red and white stripes of the U. 8. flag and the circles which represent the Olympic Games. In competition, Chicago sent blooms by American Overseas Air- lines. From London, Ontario, came sprays of gladioli which created a minor sensation among the flower enthusiasts. All of them were new varieties, two as yet unnamed. Jamaica sent a mass of exotic blooms, some seldom seen in Eur- ope. They included pink oleander, ornamental ginger, wild pineapple, and the flamingo flower. From South Africa came a num- ber of plants and flowers repre- sentative of that country, . Several overseas visitors, looking at the great hall--the National Hall--packed all round with the "jewels" of nearly 1,000 amateur gardens, declared it to be the finest show of its kind that they had ever seen. Courtice Picnic (Continued from Page 7) Fanny Crosby was read by Mrs. Earl McLean and all the hymns sung were written by this author- ess.

A goodly number met at the home of Ed Pidduck and Kathleen on Thursday night last, to extend greetings and tender a presentation to George and his bride and also welcome Mrs. Pidduck to our com- munity. Clarence Penfound, who ably act- ed as master of ceremonies, soon made all to feel at home and ex- plain the intrusion and called on Phyllis: Adams who presented the bride with a lovely bouquet of glad- jodis. Mrs. Orville Hooey and Mrs. Fulton, then presented the young couple with a mantel clock and lace table cloth. George thanked all for their lovely gifts for his wife and himself. Games and contests were then enjoyed with lunch being serv- ed and a pleasant time enjoyed. Much threshing has been done with all reporting splendid results, and now tomato picking is about to start. It does not seem possible that school will re-open in such a short time and Toronto Exhizition so near the opening day. Fall seems to be crowding around the corner eh? Gordon Trevail Mourned This community received a great shock when it become known that the late Gordon Trevail had suffer- ed a stroke on the morning of Aug. 14. He came in on Friday night from work as usual from Oshawa, and seemingly alright. Saturday morn- ing just after rising, he took a very severe stroke"and was rushed to Oshawa Hospital where everything possible was done, but to no avail, as he'passed away on Monday night, without regaining consciousness. The great number who visited the funeral parlors, and also were in attendance at the large funeral, be- spoke with what esteem he was held by friends, neighbors, and re- latives. Some {fifty floral offerings were made, wreaths from two of General Motors rooms, Knox Pres- byterian church, Oshawa; Albert St. Church, Oshawa; neighbors, and beautiful baskets and sprays from loving friends and relatives, Wo- man's Association, Courtice; and many others. The funeral was held from Luke- McIntosh Funeral Home with Rev. J. 8. I. Wilson speaking words of comfort to the bereaved ones. In-'| terment was made in the Union Cemetery with Messrs. Wm. Pom- eray, Russel Gay, Blake Oke, Nor- man Griffin, Elson Varcoe and Frank Balson acting as pallbearers. He leaves to mourn a loving hus- band and father, his widow (for- merly Bertha Taylor), daughters Mrs. Norman Clemens (Marion), Mrs. Fergus Kinsman (Audrey) and one son Alan, also a little grand- daughter, Marilyn Clemens. Two brothers, Hilbert in Windsor and Garfield at Taunton; two sisters, Mrs. Malcolm McGregor, Maxwells, and Mrs. Geo. Lowe, Oshawa.

Goodrich in private life) has work- ed for Mr. Dewey since 193¢ when she was given his name by the New York Bar Association as a possible employer. That the governor has not re- gretted his choice is demonstrated by a photograph on Miss Rosse's scribed "To Lilian Roste -- the perfect secretary." As for Miss Ros- se, she considers him the "perfect boss." When she speaks to him, she does so in superlatives. "I love working for him," she says. "He is so wonderful to take dictation from -- very considerate and clear." But the job of secretary to New York's governor and candidate for president is no bed of roses. Miss Rosse accompanies Dewey on manv of his campaign trips and was In Philadelphia during the Republi- can convention. "We worked from morning to night during the campaigning," she related.
