ILG AND LOUISE BATES AMES Five two-year-olds sit around a nursery school table, eating their mid-morning lunch of graham crackers and milk.

Four two-year-olds are putting their graham, crackers into their mouths. The fifth one puts his cracker into his ear. Is he eccentric? Is he defective? No, he is just being funny. INDIVIDUAL DIFFERENCES are tremendous. Some babies are complete clowns from their earliest days.

But in spite of these individual differences, our studies show that the sense of humor like other kinds of behavior develops through a series of stages which are somewhat similar for the majority of Now, as In other behaviors, some of these stages are attractive, others less so. But if we are familiar with all of them and know what to expect, we will perhaps enjoy the really funny stages more and mind the silly ones less. Take the two-year-old for example. Most of TWO's' humor occurs in relation to some adult his parent, or his teacher if he goes to school. MOSTLY mS HUMOR consists of showing something to the teacher and laughing, or of calling her attention to his own behavior.

Thus he may climb up on a slide, call the teacher's attention, jump down, and then laugh. This may not seem very funny to us, but it is often uproariously funny to him.

Since last August the psychologist and the doctor have been guiding you in child problems through the pages of the Free Press.

ON THURSDAY, Jan. 31, they will be in Detroit to do this in person. The pair will appear twice that day, at 2 :30 and again at 7:30 p. m. on The Free Press "For and About Women" show at the Veterans Memorial Building.

The enthusiasm that the staff of the women's department felt about this child behavior program already has been echoed by hundreds of Detroit parents. This is the type of guidance they have wanted and been unable to find an approach based on the theory that nature sets a pace in mental and physical development which should be neither hindered nor unduly hastened. AT THE clinic, which in 1950 separated from the Clinic of Child Development of Yale University, Dr. Ilg. and Dr.

Ames continue the study of the behavior of normal children as set up by Dr. Arnold Gesell.
