Bethel Hill PTA y (Continued From Front Page) grammar school child, began by stating the four categories into which maladjusted children fall: first, the nort-social individual, then the infantile, the negatinis. tic and the slow. “There are many school failures who are growing up to be mis fits and many of these failures are too well endowed by nature to need to fail.” continued the fourth grade teacher. In discussing mental health from the high school Home Econ omics teacher’s point of view, Mrs. Carver said: “Mental, health in volves both physical and psychic factors.” She discussed the psy chic factors only. In pointing out the difficulty of restraining emotions and re lieving nervous tension, Mrs. Car ver stated, “A person who has learned to control and direct his emotions and his thoughts is in position to obtain the utmost sat isfaction from the mental capa city with which nature has en dowed him.” “Behayior that departs notice ably from what we think of as normal may be listed under three headings: nervous difficulties, e motional insanity, and behavior that for want of a better word is termed delinquent.” In closing Mrs. Carver listed eleven practices that all persons dealing wljth children may use as preventive and remedial treat ment. Three of them are: conquer your fears so that you will not become a victim of worries; de velop an intense interest in life; relieve the tension of your life by cultivating a sense of humor.
