Atom Bombs, Korea, Jet Fighter Planes Interest Kindergartners, Says Director
New York—(U.P.)—A little knowledge of an atom bomb and a nodding acquaintance with a F-80 jet fighter plane are more helpful to today's kindergarten teachers than the rules for a rousing game of drop-the-handkerchief, according to Amy Hostler.
Miss Hostler is the dynamic director of the Mills school, a college which trains girls to teach in nursery schools and kindergartens.
The pigtail and knee pants set is much more worldly than it used to be, she says, and the world being what it is today, a kindergarten teacher just has to be prepared to settle some red hot international issues in the sand pile.
"The children who are four and five years old can spell out the headlines," she said, sitting at her desk. "So they ask their teacher what a Korean is, and then they want to know why people fight. That last question stumps statesmen," she added, "So you can imagine how confused a kindergarten teacher gets trying to give a child an honest answer."
The real poser came up in a kindergarten last year, when a student teacher was asked, "What is an atrocity?"
"Just try and answer that one without destroying a child's illusions about mankind," said Miss Hostler. "Yet I definitely believe teachers and parents must take the time to answer this sort of question in the next few years, so children will feel that they're being included in our adult world."
Children spot planes like they used to pick out different automobiles, Miss Hostler said. Even splitting atoms is a subject likely to interest a kindergarten scientist, providing he overhears adults discuss it.
To help their 200 girl students understand today's children, the Mills school employs a full-time psychiatrist. On the mechanical side, Miss Hostler said, "We've been talking about sending away for all the government pamphlets on atom

If You Think You're An Alcoholic Try These Simple Questions
New York—(U.R.)—A two-minute test to determine whether you are an alcoholic was offered today by a physician.
The doctor, Meyer Texon, listed 10 questions and said if the answer is "yes" to two or more, then "you are probably an alcohol."
Here are Dr. Texon's questions:
1. Do you crave a drink at a definite time daily? 2. Do you drink in the morning? 3. Do you lose time from work due to drinking? 4. Is it possible to drink in any way? 5. Do you get the 'inner shakes' unless you continue drinking?
6. Has drinking changed your personality? 7. Does drinking cause you bodily complaints? 8. Have your initiative and ambition decreased since drinking? 9. Do you turn to an inferior environment since drinking? 10. Do you drink to obtain social ease or self encouragement?
Dr. Texon believes that chronic acidemia does not inhibit acidification, but that it is disease.
He said that during the last 10 years the alcoholic problem has received an increasing amount of attention, and that more and more persons are becoming convinced that the alcoholic is the problem of the doctor.
"It has been further estimated that there are in this country about 500,000 individuals who are considered chronic alcoholies."
"It has been estimated that about 50 million people in the United States partake of alcoholic beverages," he said. "Of these, it has been estimated that about 2 million people drink to an extent which renders them liable to alcoholism as we understand it.
In regard to the 10 questions, Dr. Texon said a person who believes he is an alcoholic should consult Alcoholics Anonymous or the county medical society.
