June 8, 1928 WILMETTE ·LIFE· Logan-Howard P. T. A. Notes The second annual luncheon of the Logan-Howard Parent-Teacher association was the occasion for a pleasant gathering pn June 1 at the Presbyterian church, when the incoming officers were duly installed. Grace was said . by Mr. ]. R. Harper. An interesting program of piano selections was brilliantly rendered by Miss Pauline Manchester, and cpmmunity singing at intervals was led by Mrs. Stella Maher. Several gifts were tendered Mrs. H A. Storms in appreciation of her wor,k as president Juring the past three years. Mrs. Stalling made the presen tation on behalf of the teachers of Logan and Howard schools, and Mrs. Simonds spoke for the executive board. The outstanding feature of the day was the talk by Dr. Caroline Hedger on the subject of "Nutrition for the Adolescent." Dr. Hedger's almost mannish simplicity of garb seemed to typity her mental directness of attack on the matter at hand, while little quirks of h.umor brought out the points she wished to emphasize. Nutrition of the adolescent depends on what has gone before, and the stress and fatigue of sudden growth must be prepared for with sufficient food 'a nd rest from earliest childhood. As growth at thi·s age is apt to be irregular, there is lack of motor coordination, the child stumbles and drops things, blushes and stammers. But do not call him awkward or make him feel timid and unsocial. Encourage· him to take pride in his growth. Dr. Hedger spoke of the danger of competitive athletics at this age, when the heart is still immature, and gave . as bed-rock requirements the following: 1. A paid medical examination of the heart, with follow-up work by a doctor that knows hearts. 2. Nutrition plus, as figures i~ books giving average height and weight for certain ages are too low. 3. Urine normal after two tests, U. S. laboratory. 4. Circulation normal. The reproductive development at this age is very closely allied with nutrition. As the glands mature, they form a new chemistry that transforms the child's body. Guidance by the parent along lines of truth and health, holding forth the spiritual ideal of a plan based on the law of the universe, will set the standard for boy or girl. Scout training is advantageous and taking part in the activities of some play group prepares the way for civic responsibilities of later years. Some books recommended to parents and teachers were the following: Van Water's "Parents on Probation" and "Youth in Conflict." Nora Marsh's "Toward Racial Health" and "Youth Into Manhood." For further titles consult the librarian, Mrs. Taylor, 848 N. Dearborn street, Chicago. - The incoming officers were installed by Mrs. Edmonds of La Grange, Ill., who gave a pleasant talk on the activities of a parent-teacher organization.
