Scientific Christmas Party _ betic children from all parts of the state, made possible by the generosity of the Doctors’ Wives’ Association and _ other friends of the hospital. , Each child received a regular invitation and there was a place card at each plate. The recreation and_ entertainment provided for the youngsters was identically the same as that at any other children’s Christmas party. There was candy, the diabetic kind, heaping plates of water ice and other non-caloric food. The party was under the direction of Dr. Mary Olney of the department of pediatrics, who conducted the west’s first camp for diabetic children in Napa county last summer. The dietary features were attended to by Miss Alice Henry, head nurse of “H Ward’ which has come to mean Health Ward to the little diabetics of the state. More than 25 guests attended ‘and some of them came from points hundreds of miles removed from the hospital. . _ The discovery of insulin and its refinement into protamine zinc insulin, are the two developments of medical science which have made this Christmas party possible-—ContributVocational Training iy. Di see sean Vocational guidance of youth is becoming more popular and schools are developing new techniques and facilities for this purpose, according to Dr.’ J. Harold Williams, professor of education, and dean of the summer session, on the Los Angeles campus of the University of California. He is a former president of the California Educational Research and Guidance Association. . Speaking at a meeting of the Kiwanis Club, he declared that every civilized country is giving serious consideration to the vocational adjustment of youth, with special reference to their possible contributions to the social order which is most favored. In the totalitarian states, this guidance is largely identified with the policy of regimentation, but even under the conditions it is recognized that human aptitude and potential ities are diverse, and diagnostic procedures are employed to determine what particular type of service to the state a given child is most capable of rendering. “Englapd has provided occupational advice for youth, on a national scale, but in a democratic fashion,” said Dr. Williams. ‘Advisory committees are available, under the Ministry of Labor, and with the cooperation of the National Instituté for Industrial Psychology. A recent follow up revealed that among those who accepted the advice, successes were . . times. as frequent as among those who did not do so. “School authorities in the United States are so desirous of avoiding dictation and regimentation that they have pro_ ceeded cautionsly in the development of guidance programs. Emphasis is placed upon the decisions which a child may be _ encouraged to make for himself, and care is taken to avoid early fixational objectives. In view of recent evidence that Most persons are capable of the successful pursuit of several occupations, and in consideration of present employment uncertainties, most schools in the United States emphasizes oc_Cupational information, and encourage children to learn about several vocations. At the same time, use is made of personal interviews, test results, interest ratings, and records of educa__ tional achievements to determine the general areas which _.seem most promising for individual pupils.”—Contributed. — Call For Emily Post A phenomenon of modern-day life that, in so far as we ow, defies explanation by the most learned psychologists, the way of a man at the wheel of an automobile: Aman may scrupulously polite and considerate in his office and home and yet, the moment he steps into his automobile, that ‘man may change from a veritable Dr. Jekyll to a veritIn many cases he becomes an unreasoning dictator— at other drivers, blowing his horn needlesly when crossts halt traffic, fuming at pedestrians who do not leap f his way.
