roup Participation To Aid
entally Retarded Children
- -------------
e a c h Pn g mentally retardedt
dren to participate in group'
vities is a project which is
ig initiated by the Washtenaw
nty Chapter of the Michigan
ociation for Mentally Retarded1
ildren.
The project, which will go into
eration March 5, will teach men-
ly retarded children from 5-16
w to participate in games, and
tivities as a group.
The children are taught by vis-
1 aids and actual situations, phy-
,al activities, music and art ap-
eciation, good grooming and
ble manners.
"Although many of these chil-
en may never learn to read or
'ite, they can become useful and
oductive citizens," Professor{
arren Ketchum of the Univer-.
y Education School said. By
aching these children after they
achI adolescent age habit pat-
rns such as sewing or pasting
.
they can become partially inde-
pendent.
"Most of these children have an
intelligence quota of approximate-
ly half of what the normal child
has at the same age," Prof. Ket-
chum sai. He pointed out that
children o this mental age do not
qualify for the program carried
out by the Ann Arbor public school
system which tries to educate pu-
pils who are slow mentally.
"The children who come to us
are not capable of being educated
and are only able to be trained in
habit patterns," Ketchum said. He
pointed out that the children are
incapable of abstract thinking, and
must be- taught by touch and vis-
ual aids.

TO YOU WHO HAVE READ THESE
ADVERTISEMENTS FOR THE PAST
FEW WEEKS:
We at Connecticut General
welcome the interest you
have shown in our Com-
pany. This week we'd like
to depart from the usual
and tell you a little about
ourselves.
We are not the oldest life
insurance company nor are
we the biggest. We were
founded in 1865 and rank
in size between tenth and
fifteenth (depending on how
you measure it) among the
legal reserve companies.
Basically, we protect our
clients thru life, accident
and health insurance. In
this field of Personal Insur-
ance we are known for our
aggressive leadership. Our
recent group insurance plan
expressly for atomic work-
ers, the first in the industry,
points this up. Although
we are rapidly growing (our
assets have tripled in the
past ten years), we have novt
lost the informal and con-
genial atmosphere of at
small company. It is this
atmosphere coupled with
the feeling of pride in our
accomplishments that
makes us feel that Con-
necticut General is a pretty
fine pkace to work.
For details, consult your
Placement Director or write

cut General Life Insurance
Company, Hartford, Con-
necticut.
