Miss Mary McLean, organiser of the Women's Land Army in Christchurch, announced a few days ago that every woman with a garden will shortly be asked to grow one row of beans as a special war effort. When ready for picking the beans will be collected at a central depot, dried by a special process, and then packed to be sent to men on minesweepers. Child Psychology. A talk on child psychology was given by Mrs. Beeby to the members of the Women's Study Circle. The commands, "Don't do this and don't do that" should be used sparingly. The emphasis should; be on what the child ought to do, said the speaker. The desire to create was inherent within the young and should be given the opportunity of expression in the home. To give children a direct interest in the management of their school would give them a sense of responsibility and help to ,make them useful citizens of the future.
