Just
Every
Day
Sense
BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON

II FIFE KALISz, noted Anglo
~ Polish pianist. who was a
prodigy at the age of 6, urges
modern parents to refrain from
trying to make geniuses out Of
their children.
Most of US need such warning,
because we seem bent upon work
ing our babies overtime. We are
determined that each one shall
make a high mark in the world
To that end, we give them a great
deal of useless education and
teach them very little about how
to live.
The time has come when we, as
parents. should realize that the
world must have its ordinary peo-
pie And if we produce only good
ordinary citizens we have not
done so badly, after all.
There is great deal to be said
for the middle-class man. He
stabilizes our national life. He
lends balance to our world. And
he supports the genius and sings
all his praises. You seldom find
two celebrities growing enthusiast
tic over each other.
CHILD prodigies usually are
~ tragic figures. They are de-
prived of hours of delightful
leisure. They have no long happy
days for play and their fond
mammas badger them to death
in their efforts to make them
smarter than their companions.
And this, my friends, is only
another name for self1shness. Be-
hind every mothers desire to rear
q genius lies the dominating urge
to get notice for herself. The
aura that radiates from fame
lends a rosy glow to all those who
stand within its circle and mothers
are not averse to cultivating
such glory for their own salts
faction.
Each child should have every
opportunity to develop his talents,
but the plodder is as necessary to
the world as the genius.
And there are many COM
pensations for simple people, who
often get more genuine pleasure
out of life than the more highly
strung complex personalities.
Besides, we must remember that
a large number Of our infant
prodigies grow into very common
place swellheads, avid for notice.
