THE MICHIGAN DAILY Schools Placingl More Stress on Adult Edication Interest in Co-Ordinating Education, Home Life Rising, Dr. Wilker Says Programs Revised Sympathetic Approach to Study of Field Compara- tively New, She Says "There seems to be a growing be- lief that the public school can, by acquaintance with the subject mat- ter of parent education, become more and more 'parent-minded' and grow in ability to work with parents in making provisions for the actual needs of the whole child," said Dr. Marguerite Wilker yesterday in a talk on "What Can the Public School Do In Parent Education?" "Some public schools stand ready to adjust their school schedules and eliminate some academic work in or- der to free timne for teacher-parent contacts," she continued. Variety ofaPrograms "When we iook around to see what is being done, we find a wide variety of programs.' We 'realize that the term 'parent education' has been coined within the last ten yearsand indicates that for the" first time in history the problems in this field are being more or less systematically ap- proached in study. "School preoccupation with sub- ject matter has led to an interest in the academic child who is measured in terms of reading, writing and ari- thmetic. Home preoccupation with care has led to an irerest in a dif- terent child, eating, dressing, 'rest- ing, adjut ting to adults and- other children in many practical and so- cial situations. Here we have an academic child on the one hand and a home child on the other, and no one actually interested in the whole child,. Problem Winning Recognition "Naturally questions 41ave arisen. Thinking adults have recognized the s'chool-child-separated-f r o m-t h e- home-child situation. Alert teachers have wondered how their projects. and units of work elaborately plan- ned around so-called child interests actually did meets the real needs of children who come f r o m homes properly or improperly fed, rested or tired, serene or tense because of home difficulties. "Many public school workers are reading more widely the subject matter of interest to student par- ents," she concluded. "Some teach- ers are assisting parents in organ- izing study groupsand finding reli- able source material." Three First Choices for U. S.

In Character Training Seen Changing conditions in civiliza- tion require shifts in the emphasis in character -education, Dr. Paul Rankin, supervising director of the department of research and adjust- ment in the Detroit school system, told educators here yesterday after- noon in a discussion of the funda- mental concepts on which the .1932 Yearbook of the department of su- perintendence was based. While character education 'is a co-oberative enterprise between the school, the home and the commu- nity, the school should be the leader, Dr. Rankin declared. The Yearbook recognized that character education is primarily the development of attitudes, ideals and motives, and only secondarily the development of knowledge and'skills, Dr. Rankin said. Character is more than the avoidance of wrong-doing; it involves an active concern for social welfare, he declared. Choice of methods, content, or- ganization and administration of character education should be basecd on findings of research, he said, and the school should give pupils fre- quent practice in meeting real prob- lems in human relations.
