College Girls and Children

Tho home economics girls at Iowa State College receive instruction in child care and training. The course in Child Psychology is required, and a study is made of the child, of his habits and of special problems which may arise. The girls are also required to observe some particular child and write a report of it. The observations are to be made over a considerable length of time--about 10 weeks-and in as many different situations as possible; that is, how the child eats, how he plays with others and by himself, how he responds when out among strangers, etc.
