THE MICHIGAN DAILY FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 24,1956 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.

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.
