VndeTstaiiding of human relations and a broadening of
interests leading to community-mindeness are objectives to
be sought b/adults who wish to continue their education, says
Dr. Harry A. Overstreet, author of "The Mature Mind”.
He believes that in another quarter-century adult edu-
tion wlH take its place beside elementary and high-school
ucation as a necessary adjunct to community life. He cites
the Boston enter’of Adult Education, with its own specially
equipped buQttng, as having the proper set-up.
Adult kMrtgledge Of human relations would raise national
and international negotiations above the "fight level”, claims
Overstreet, thus obviating war.

Mrs. Dunn showed me one of her
experts at work on package wrap-

Here's how she did it, men.
First, she took the price tag off.

happened to be a fancy doll. Then
she folded the copper paper, which
Mrs. Dunn explained had a ’’little
metal in it,’’ and saw that the
comers were square around the
box. Then Miss Campbell reeled
off several yards of ribbon and
wound it left to right, making it
into a pretty bow. She set this aside
and put a ribbon of the same color
around the box. Then she took the
bow and tied it in the center of
the knot around the box—as sim-
ple as that.
The Girls, Mrs. Duna said, can
do it corner-wise, or center-wise

the headlights of another car—the
yarn has the movie touch, hasn't

along the path to the door, pound-

That was my entrance into the
scenario, Myles thought “Go on,”
he prodded.
