"At about this point we felt that the children were
ready to broaden their social experience, A party was planned for which
they were to be hosts to about seventy children from a neighboring school.
After a discussion of the elements of a successful party, they made a list
of requisites for their own party:

1. Everyone must be courteous

ee All must be good hosts

3e No one refuses to dance when asked
4. Make as many new friends as possible
Se Don't be silly, etce

"The experience proved very interesting and instructive.
We could see that the children were headed in the direction we intended.
Wholesome attitudes were being built up, particularly boy and girl
attitudes, and children were gaining social experiences which would be
of value to them later. :

"Results could be felt outside the Physical Education
period ~ an increased feeling of co-operation, respect for each ther,
as well as themselves, courtesy, ease in relationships, especially
between boy and girl, and greater poise among a group of strangerse"

~~ Mrs. Rose Oxman
