Psychologist Speaks To Home and School Association Members At the regular meeting of the Seaforth Home and School' Associa- tion in the public school. last week, Mr. D. Morton introduced the guest speaker, Dr. Gordon Turner, " pyschologist, University of West- ern Ontario. Miss M. E. Turnbull later thanked him for a splendid Address. In reply to several questions from teachers andparents! present, Dr. Turner dealt with some of the problems confronting ,those who work with children. "Obedience cannot be forced," the speaker warned. He asked: "Are you teaching him not to do undesirable things when you are not there? Does the child behave wisely and well when you are not there?" Mental Growth Limit "Discipline is helping a child to learn the things he must to be- eotne a well adjusted citizen," Dr. Turner said. Good discipline is consistent, he pointed out. "Spank- ing has many drawbacks, and there are better ways, rbutwe must sub= statute something in its place rath- er than do nothing." In regard to taking music lessons, the speaker said that the child who has' to be forced to practice derives little benefit. "Wait until they show a desire." "Heredity sets limits on mental development, but a sterile environ- ment holds back a bright child while the average child in a stimu- lating environment may appear more capable than he really is," Dr. Turner concluded. Mrs. Ross Hamilton sang two solos. Mrs. J. Cardno was pianist for the evening. Mrs,. J. C. Crich presided.
