THE PERQUIMANS WEEKLY, HERTFORD, N. C FRIDAY, APRIL 22, 1938 llama Influences life Of Clutn Early Plastic Years Im portant In Develop ment of Character DR. CARL C. GARRISON North Carolina State College April 24 to April $0 is set apart as Better Homes Week. We recognize that individual personality and the ways of adjustment are definitely in fluenced by the purposeful training, ideas, and methods of parents and by the cultural opportunities provided in the. borne. It is generally agreed by psychologists and sociologists that attitudes are learned and that they are potent forces in affecting one's behavior. The child's attitudes rep resent his frame of mind toward certain things. They are unified emotional and mental states that tend to guide and direct the course of his attention and behavior. In the course of life we develop certain social attitudes, civic attitudes, reli gious attitudes, international atti tudes, and the like. These attitudes, in turn, determine in a large measure our behavior in various life activi ties. While the child comes into a social heritage without any attitudes, he brings with him the capacity for de veloping attitudes. He is born a plastic and susceptible creature and does not have a background of exper ience for reasoning and thinking out the best solution to the different problems he meets. He is born into a home where various attitudes are in existence. These attitudes already present in the home are in most cases founded upon certain senti ments and a culture not wholly har monious with one present order. Obviously, a certain amount of uni formity of attitudes is essential for the interest and welfare of the group. However, when a rigid con formity to meaningless family be liefs and attitudes is demanded, the most desirable civic character quali ties and wholesome personality traits are not likely to be developed. The first consideration for parents who wish to create desirable atti tudes in their children is their own attitudes. The development of sci ence and concurrently the scientific method has brought with it in many cases skepticism and a feeling of un certainty on problems not solved. Not certain as to the course of train ing to follow they depend upon the church, the school, the neighborhood, Resting and exemplifying or in some cases the backyard gang attitudes is essential. for the development of the attitudes of their children. The importance of the early plastic years in the. mold ing of character, personality, and attitudes has been recognized by cer tain groups for a long time. Educa tors unite in stressing the importance of these years of development of the child's attitudes. Standards, ideals, attitudes must be an intrinsic part of the Home situation if the exper iences of these early years are to be most effective in the child's social development. The attitudes of the home that will be most effective in the future development of the child are those established along broad principles and well organized in the home; that are later emphasized in the schools and other institutions with' which the child comes into contact; and are still later effective in the development of a life of happi ness and success. Assuming that parents have rath er desirable attitudes themselves, they may not choose the best method for developing these attitudes in their children. .The most obvious and least satisfactory is the direct method Under these conditions, ideals or traits are discussed speci fically. Possessing in a measure the desired ideals and standards, the par ents undertake to interest the child in these same ideals and standards. Finally discussion moves into ex periments and experience as the par ents provide opportunities for exer cising these ideals and attitudes in actualjBituations. This method is in general use, although its limitations are quite obvious. The child's char acter and personality cannot best be fixed by rigid molds. Attitudes will develop best in a more, fruitful en vironment of desirable experiences and a larger unified philosophy. Far more effective . is the indirect method in the home. Attitudes are developed by taking advantage of situations. A situation may be used to enable the child to show courage, unselfishness, or self-control. The fact that what he docs requires a new brand of courage, or an en largement of unselfishness to include a new group of people, may become for him a satisfying experience in that growth which is the purpose of life. All the discussion in the world) will not produce as vivid an exper-l lence as that which comes with the actual evidence of progress in good living. Furthermore, attitudes are developed indirectly as a result of the child's response to the total en vironment. The child may come to accept in the main the ways and at titudes of his elders, unconscious that anyone is seeking to bring about such a result.

This is due to various reasons, partly on account of its great extent and pert ly because there is no wide open ing to the Arctic region. The nor mal wind circulation is on the whole less modified in the North Pacific than in the Atlantic. The trade winds are generally weaker and less persistent in the Pacific, and the intervening belt of equatorial calms is greater. My BUSINESS I?
