Dr. Helsel To Speak At Forum
Philosopher Will Tell Life of Anaxagoras, Ancient Greek Thinker
Who ls Anaxagoras, and why is he often regarded as the father of modern science?
Dr. Paul H. Helsel of the School of Philosophy will present a biography of this Greek philosopher, who was perhaps the greatest influence on Western thought, during his phiposophy forum lecture in Bowne hall today at 4:15 p.m.
Anaxageras had the misfortune of having lived ahead of his time, for when in 500 B.C. he suggested the I idea that the sun was not a god but a moulten mass of fire, he was : forever banished from Greece for heresy.
THEORY TOLD
According to Dr. Helsel, Anaxageras was born with a mind which I suddenly woke up and fitted closely together all that had formerly been in a '“medley of confusion.” His basic theory was. “In everything there is a portion of everything, but mind ls mixed with nothing; lt alone stands by itself.”
Anaxagoras believed that the mind ls the source of all self-originating and inexhaustible universal activity. He describes the mind with such adjectives as simple, incorporeal, omnlscent, omnipotent, and time-transcending.
APPROACHES LISTED Dr. Helsel proposes to examine his subject, “Anaxagoras and the Mind,” from three concepts:
1. Use of the mind among the Greeks prior to the time when word was adopted into the circle of phll-I osophic idea.
I 2. Concepts akin to that of the | mind ln philosophy down to the time of Anaxagoras, j 3. Who was Anaxagoras and what I use in philosophy did he make of the idea of mind in his own system of thought?
j Dr. Helsel ls the third speaker in the “Living Interests in Philoso-[ phy” series sponsored by the School of Philosophy. Next week, Dr. Heln-j rich Gomperz, professor of phlloso-| phy also associated with the Uni-j versity of Vienan, will discuss "Methods of Interpretation.”

Carus Plans To Consider Foreign Trade

Listening Hour Plans To Play Haydn, Bizet

The Haydn concerto ls one of the nnest classical compositions ever written for the 'cello, according to Mlss Engle. The concerto, ln which Haydn reveals himself at his best, is built upon gay, light, melodious themes characteristic of the composer. The piece is divided Into three movements.
Bizet's composition will conclude the program. Written first as Incidental music to a play by Dau-det, L'Arleslenne Suite has stood the test of time although the drama lt originally accompanied was unsuccessful.

Doting Parents Affect Developement of Prodigies
By Clay Tice
Do you want your child to be a book-worm, a mentai giant, a child prodigy?
I If you do, here are some warnings and suggestions that Lee Baron Stock ford of the 8.C. psychology de-; partment, gave yesterday afternoon on the Everyday Psychology pro-I gram over KRKD.
In a playlet presented by the 1 Trojan radio players, a typical case was presented as follows:
I Many parents, when friends drop in for a chat, bring out little Bob-! by, 8, to read an article which would be over the average aduJt > I head or to expound at great length on the present European situation. The friends express surprise that such a young child has acquired so much knowledge, but secretly wonder it little Bobby is anything but brain.
The doting parents continue showing ott their mentai wizard until the day when little Bobby begins to think, because of all the attention showered upon him, Uiat
ne is a superior being and as such warrants special attention.
His mother and father then wring their hands and wonder what has happened to their little "baby” and are unable to stop his increasing demands. They discover, too, that Bobby does not play with other children as he should and that he ls not making the grades that he should In school.
Stockford discussed this typical problem, explained the reasons for such a condition, and presented its solution.
Children who have an Intelligence quotient above the normal for their age group are usually exploited by tlieir fond but unknowing parents According to Stockford, this chance to show off before guests soon leads them to believe Uiat they are allowed to do so because they are actually superior to their audience.
Buch children spend all of their bpare time reading books that are intended for older people aud, because of the time taken thus, are 1 unable to take part in the usual
play periods with the neighborhood children. This leads to the shunning of all others of Uie same age and develops Into a superiority complex.
Over-aggressivenes* and a too-advanced personality results instead of the natural, fun-loving, well-rounded nature of a Hormal youngster.
The solutions to such a case if the child has progressed beyond the point where the parent can effectively change his program, are either to place him a special class for advanced students, to enter him in activity classes ln the YMCA, or have him Join the Boy Scouts Such activities are Inexpensive and offer a diversified selection of material to turn ht* attention from the harmful pursuits Uiat he had previously followed. Doing small Jobs about the house and ln the garden, as well as running errands and the like were also suggested by Stock-ford to remove the child from the unwholesome rut ln which the over-proud parent* have placed him.

Todays Organ Program
PreluJr and Fugm ia C Minot ba<h This Is the first prelude and fugue which Bach wrote that can lay claim to especial value. The prelude begins with a cadenza for the pedals, which is followed by a short development of a figure il the manuals. The subject of the fugue ls one of tiie fine ones of thi* great master, but the working out ls weak and Immature. The fugue rises to a fine climax at the end, prophetic of the developing genius of the composer.

Nazi Activity Expose Slated
Events that have transpired ln Nazi Germany which have not been released to the general publlr as yet will be exposed tonight by William E. Dodd, former ambassador to Germany, when he speaks at the Shrine auditorium at 8:15 o’clock.
His lecture, ‘'Behind the Scenes of the Nazi Stage," ls being sponsored by the Sunday Evening club of the First Congregational church.
