"tool' subjects. Why is this so?
 The answer in most instances lies in the fact that from the very be- ginning they have found school work 10 be too easy. During the years when work habits were being formed they were bored by the slow rate of progress, the many drills and repetitions. which while necessary for less gifted children. caused in them the development of q bored, unintercsted attitude.
 The cure for the bad work habits sometimes found in the superior child is to give him more work Of the sort that will challenge his in terest and require him to make an effort.
 Sometimes it is possible to place him in special class among those who are his mental equals. The kind of work done in these special opportunity rooms" is especially de- signed to bring forth response from the gifted child.
 Where no special cla asses are pro- yided for gifted children, and where the school system can only meet the problem by pushing the bright child far ahead of his age group, it is sometimes the best of undesirable alternatives to sacrifice the quality of his class work to his social ad- justment, to permit him 70 sit among children who are definitely below him mentally but with whom he nevertheless has play interests ill common.
 In such instances parents can do much to satisfy the child's intellec- tUal needs and to stimulate better standards Of work at school by pro- viding him with especially inter esting books and by encouraging all hobbies and the pursuit Of scientific interests.
