Small Students Undisturbed By Regluar College Subjects By Ellen Sperber There are some people at the College who are not only undis turbed l>y such subjects as English literature, chemistry, and engin eering—they are entirely unaware of their existence. These people are the group of lucky, tots who attend The Pennsylvania State Col lege Nursery School. ! A typical day at the nursery is something like this: The two and one-half to four year old youngsters arrive at nine, are inspected by the nurse, and given a drink of water. This is followed by a su pervised play period either in dors or outdoors, according to the weather. They spend the time till lunch hearing stories and taking short rest. This group leaves at noon and the four and five year olds come at 1:30 p.m Quarters The nursery’s quarters are at the back of the Home Economics Buil ding and consist of a play room, cloak room, a kitchen, and two playgrounds. The children’s outdoor equip ment includes a sand yard, slide, see-saws, swings, a jungle gym and a small plot of ground for the embryo gardeners. The children are also well supplied with many indoor games. The chief objective bf the nurs ery, which started in 1928, is to provide a happy environment that will encourage', proper develop ment of the children. Wailing List Because" of a large waiting list, children who are admitted to the school are usually enrolled at birth. There are a few exceptions to this policy. One such exception is Shirley Chu, a Chinese girl who couldn’t speak- English when she arrived at the nursery last April. At present she speaks English fluently and is well adapted to her surroundings. However, a majori ty of the young children are facul ty children. The nursery itself serves as a laboratory for child development courses and prepares students for nursery school teaching. Several •Masters’ theses have been based on research done at the nursery school. Children’s reactions to posi i tive and negative suggestions and reactions of the children to choice are now being observed.. Staff members are Director, Wi ‘nona L. Morgan; Jane Ann Bo vie, head teacher of the morning , group; Jean Foulkrod, head teach er of the afternoon group; Della J. Avery, part-time morning teacher, ,and Mrs. Margaret Nageotte, nurse. Although the children are learn ing much through their nursery •school experience, and are helpful in furthering research on child de velopment, they still have time for birthday parties, visiting the sheep bams, playing “climbing Metzger’s jpuilding,’’ or “going to church."
