State College, ItaleiKli, from Monday, July 30, through Thurs day. August 2. Theme for this year's program will be "For Belter Kural and Family Living." Family problems J-inrliiflini! food. Shelter: clothing.! savings and security, health and ' medical care, and recreation will be given special attention, the place of the rural church in a eorii iminily also will be emphasized. An outstanding list of speakers is being lined up. according to F. S Sloan, extension program plan ning leader and secretary of Farm and: Home Week. Classes will be When Your Youngster Defies You By GARRY CLEVELAND MYERS, Ph.D. WHILE there are certain basic principles which will work in bringing up all the children of a family, the application of these principles may need to vary somewhat to be effective. The mother of a family of eight chil dren who says she "raised him Just like the other children," is puzzled that he is the only one giving his parents trouble. Ob viously he differs from the other children in being able to outwit his parents and take advantage of their human frailties. "He argues back every time he Is told something. He knows more than anyone no one is as smart as he. He cannot play a game without arguing and quarreling, loses his temper over trifles, and If he thinks he is right you simply cannot shake the idea out of his head. Last night he thought the light should be out when his younger sister got in bed but she didn't want it out. Even after I told him to leave the light alone that I would tell her when I wanted the light out he went back and turned the light out. By that time, of course, I left the light on to show him that he couldn't have his way in every thing. But, a little later, I went back out, and the light was out. "When we painted the kitchen he wanted to take the switch plates off. His daddy told him no. We went ahead with our Job and his daddy had all the plates back on before we went to bed. That boy had to get up before anyone else, take each of the plates off and put them back on before we got ap. ( Other Children . "In the morning he begins by teasing or making fun of the other children. Then he comes out and tells me what he wants lor breakfast and gets hateful if I have decided on something else. He will never remember to wash his hands before meals, or brush Child Will Daydream if Work Is Too Hard or Too Easy ly CARRY CLEVELAND MYERS, Ph.D. IF there were no daydreamers our civilization would return to Its earliest primitive state. The great creations in art, literature, music, science and inventions came out of the heads of day t dreamers. But not nearly all day dreams are creations, some are destructions. Many crimes are undoubtedly the fulfillment of daydreams. Most daydreams, per 'haps, amount to nothing but to hamper useful thinking and ao tlon by the dreamer and to annoy other persons. Daydreams often are escapes from what is boresome, or in some other way unpleasant. When, for example, the pupil in school finds a lesson or class activity too hard for him to succeed at, he almost surely goes woolgathering. On the other hand, if what he is sup posed to do is too easy to chal lenge his efforts, it becomes bore- some and off he goes into day dreams. j Brightest Child ' Thus daydreaming may begin in the brightest child.

According ly, his daydreaming, begun be cause of boredom, may so con tinue as to be encouraged still more because of later failure to enjoy learning successes. While such daydreaming might have been prevented In the first place If this pupil always had had learning tasks that challenged his best efforts, the practical ESSO--FUEL OIL CALL 555 S. W.

Social and recreational features, including group Mining and music by church choirs and county home demonstration choruses, have been planned for each evening. Profes sional and amatuer skaters will give an ice show in the William Neal Reynolds Coliseum on the fin al evening. , Special programs and demons trations will be given on poultry Tuesday afternoon, on livestock Wednesday, and on field crops Thursday. The Thursday program will include a visit to an outstand ing Wake County farm to study or ganization, irrigation, and produc-. tion practices.

Another thinghe won't wash the dishes well. He could If he wanted to. Especially the silver ware. I've told him several times that he can't get it clean by pick ing a handful up at a time, swip ing it twice and tossing it in the other pan, but he won't do it any other way.'' . : In part I replied: Manifestly this boy has many good traits and native talents. He is just too smart for you parents. He knows he can easily outwit you, espec ially when he can lure you into an argument. Quit talking back to him. Try always to be fair and reasonable, but once you have made a deci sion see it through. In the In stances about the light and switch plates you reveal your and your husband's weakness. It might have been reasonable to have let the boy remove the plates. But once your decisions were made, in both Instances the lad was able to disobey deliber ately without having suffered any penalty other than Jawing; and he probably thus defies both of you very often. If he knew he would have to leave the table and eat alone when he so often makes of himself a family nuisance, he would quit it. As for his appearing at meals without washed hands and wash ing silverware so carelessly, either set an effective penalty or shut up. By all means shut up. On the positive side, you and Dad should play up his fine school records and his doing so many useful things voluntarily. It may be this lad feels all the rest of the family have ganged up on him and don't appreciate his talents and achievements. Wel come his friends to your home. Now and then Dad and this boy should take lunch downtown and go together to a show or game afterwards. That lad is a diamond in the rough. problem now may be different. Some way will have to be found by which this child will make up his arrears and be able to enjoy achievement on the learning job at hand. Though It may be desirable at times to call the attention of the child, when he obviously is day dreaming, back to the thing at hand, the effect will be only tem porary unless he is able to enjoy achievement then. How futile It is for a parent to exhort the child at homo to pay attention at school, or to punish him for alleged day dreaming. He may be helped at nome by assisting him there to read better, spell better or do bet ter In other subjects. Also at home he may be practiced In good reg ular habits of application when doing his lessons there. Further more, when this child is asked or told to do something at home, be sure you have his complete at tention. Sometimes it will be de sirable to have him repeat the request or command before he starts to carry it out. The mother of a seven-vear-nlrf boy, getting fairly good grades at school, Is worried because his teacher says he daydreams. At home this boy gives his toys names and talks to them as per sons. While this boy's ways hardly should be a matter of concern, he should spend more time at fun with other children and be re quired to do a few Jobs about the home regularly. The most serious problem we parents have with daydreaming children is not to discourage or hamper this urge but to cultivate Its growth and exercise it Id useful channels. ZL. 25c SIZE 1 lb.
