On Sex Training, Emotions
b> IIEN STEVENS
To prepare today's children for
successful adult life schools are
going to have to take an increas-
ing amount of responsibility tor
sex guidance, declared I>r. Sidney
Hamilton, professor of psychology,
at the Health clinic Wednesday.
"Schools," I)r. Hamilton added,
"must take this responsibility be-
cause no other agency, including
the home, has recognized this im-
portant area."
Elaborating on the term "sex
guidance," Dr. Hamilton said that
it is primarily a question of de-
veloping a positive attitude toward
heterosexualit.v and does not con-
sist only of factual information.
"It is true, however, that atti-
tudes do not develop in a vacuum,
and some sound information is
necessary," he continued.
Reviewing the aspects of mental
hygiene, Dr. Hamilton told clinic
members that attaining hetero-
sexual adjustment during adoles-i
eence usually involves a number of \
problems for boys and girls.
"These problems occur because j
attaining physical maturity in any j
area, including sex, involves pay- j
chological changes," he explained, i
Dr. Hamilton said that many
parents, influenced by misleading
"norms," become unnecessarily
worried because at a certain age
their children do no respond in
what the parents consider an av-
erage way.
"A child is an individual," he
affirmed, "and a lot of the turmoil
surrounding adolescence and sex-
ual maturity results when parents
fail to recognize this.
"Both parent and child should I
recognize this individuality and
should not smother the individ-
uality under this mass of 'average'
data," he suggested.
At Monday's session of the clinic
Dr. Eugene A ten, profesesor ot
psychiatry at Southwestern Medi-
cal school, spoke on "Understand-
ing the Child."
Dr. A ten explained the stages ot
child development and reminded
the clinic members that children j
will develop normally If they are i
allowed to pass through each stage
in a normal way without being
hurried,
All children, he said, even
though they are retarded or handi-
capped, will pass through the
same stages. He added that some
children may be slower in their
j progress, but they will complete
j each stage in time.
Dean A. Witt Blair, School of
Education, addressed the clinic
Tuesday on the problems peculiar
to pre-adolescent years and social
integration for children between
9 and 11 years old.
Wednesday, Dr. Robert L. Mar-
quis Jr., professor of education,
spoke on the problems of youth,
and Dr. George C. Beamer, pro-
fessor of psychology and director
of student guidance, discussed
"Utilization of Psychological
Tests" Thursday.
Also speaking Thursday was
William V. Kady, professor of ed-
ucation, whose subject was "Emo-
tional Climate in the Classroom."
Two speakers are scheduled for
next week's activity at the clinic.
Miss Joanna Wells, Denton county
health supervisor, will speak on
audiometries and visual screening
on Tuesday and Wednesday. Miss
Beulah llarriss, professor of phys-
ical education, is scheduled to
speak Wednesday.

Returning to the campus after
a week's stay in Kaufman, the
limnology students are making
preparations for their trip to Oklit
hoiiui City next week.
For the sixth year in a row the
class spent a week at the Stai
Brand t attle ranch al Kaufman.
The ranch covers (5400 acres and
supports 20 fish-stocked lakes, the
largest of which is 18 acres.
The class is divided into three
crews, and each crew is assigned (
a certain field of study. The first !
crew surveys the lake for area, !
depth, and volume. The second
crew makes the limnological ob-
servations which include the chem-
istry, food value, and fertilization
of the water. The Job performed
by the last crew is to catch fish |
for weighing, measuring, and clns j
sificati.in by sex and species.
The fish are caught in numerous
types of nets which the students
set out overnight, and nil fish
caught are thrown back into the
lakes nflef study, Some of the
field work often includes under i
water study and the students use
aqua-lungs.
The trip to Oklahoma City next ,
week is in conjunction with the ;
U.S. Bureau of Reclamation and
the Oklahoma City water depart-
ment. The purpose is to study the 1
reduction of losses of city water j
through evaporation, according to
Dr. .1. K. G. Silvey, director of j
tile biology department.
The 11 student* and 2 graduate
assistants, along with Dr. Silvey,
will study a chemical called hexa
decanc'l which lays a film 1 10
millionth of an inch thick over
the surface of the lake. The film
will reduce the loss of water by
evaporation by as much as 15 per
cent.
