"The above purposes serve the needs of normal pupils. For the retarded and over-aged pupils the Junior high school offers greater opportunities for service.

It takes them from a routine with which they have become dissatisfied to a school where they are treated In consideration for their age and where there, is offered a curriculum which has more of a challenge and more of interest for them.

"Leisure presents a challenge to the family, the education and to the Individual," continued the speaker. "The home offers the best opportunity for development of leisure time; and family reading, that 'tie i that should be especially emphasized.

Some time should be set aside each day for reading or for a story hour for young children. Music also contributes to enjoyable evenings with the family, and it is a good plan to allow children to choose songs for bed time singing." The went on to list suggestions for leisure hours with the family, such as: Popping corn, candy-making, toy- or furniture- mending, games, talking over family i affairs, and planning A program for every Friday evening when the children are free.
