EDUCATIONAL CENTER VOTED

HUGESUCCESSiMrs. Stock~ Tells Of

the Good Work j Accomplished

The first session of the Mothers' Educational Center, conducted by Dr. Maud Wild and her able assistants, and held at the Torrance high school | under the auspices of the Woman's j club and Parent-Teacher association, waa a huge success, according to the interest taken by the many mothers who brought their children to be weighed, measured, and tested men­ tally.

Forty-nine children were scored the first day, and 35 the second day, making a total of 84. Many mothers registered, before leaving for the next Mothers' Educational Center to be held November SO.

The Mothers' Educational Center seems to fill a much-needed want in the lives of the busy mothers, from the college graduate mother to the uneducated Mexican and Japanese mother, and the mother with her ninth infant as well as the mother with her first were all anxious to know how their children scored and have the child's weaknesses brought to their attention, and suggestions made whereby the wrong may be righted.

The Parent - Teacher association wishes to thank everyone who co­ operated so readily in bringing the Mothers' Educational Center to ttfe mothers of Torrance.
