School about women Tot's First Look at or and 9 Nursery Schools Help Youngsters Adjust to Groups Page 8-A MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 3, 1962 1 h'- J. AN Acl Easel time stimulates young minds BY MARJOKIE EI CHER Fm Press Staff Writer September school bells ring for nursery school tots, too. More parents are nursery school minded today than at any previous time. Some of them represent the first generation of parents who were nursery school products themselves. In nursery school a child Is placed in an organized group where he will have many opportunities to play individually and with others.

He is under the direction of a teacher who is trained to meet his needs at this stage of his development. RECOMMENDED ages for attendance in nursery school are between three and five. This varies, however, with different- schools. Although age limits are set by the school, your child's readiness depends upon his individual rate of growth. Here are some of the advantages of nursery school as listed by Drs.

Frances L. Ilg and Louise Bates Ames, Free Press columnists in their recently published book, "Parents The child learns to play with other children. He learns to share, to take turns, to adapt to a group. It helps him to learn how to get rid of aggressions in an acceptable manner. It often provides physical play equipment which the usual home lacks It gives him a chance to develop a close relationship with an adult other than his parents or relatives.

It gives his mother a trained person with whom to discuss home problems of eating, sleeping, toilet training, discipline.

At the Statue of Liberty, for Instance, a father marshalls his four children after the climb to the top and says: "I want you to remember this always, son, no matter where you go or what happen when you grow op.

Never forget that there were men like Lincoln who loved their country above life. Never forget you're an American." When there is talk about erasing national boundaries and pioneering in space, Americans seem to be rushing to fill in the gaps of history, seeking out the proofs of their heritage, breathing new life into old legends and finding new pride in their country. Plymouth Rock is as popular today as Cape Canaveral. 1 I south of Grand River. Allen Park, Dearborn, East Dear-Garden City, George born.
