Rx KINGSBURY SMITH

Who Is this man Moley, the re.
puted maSter-mind Of President
Roosevelt's so-called "brain trust?"
This question Is asked by many
in the National Capital these
days, Of the man who figures so
prominently but quietly in events
shaping the future destiny of the
nation both at home and abroad.
Assistant Secretary of State,
chief economic adviser to the
President, Prof. Raymond Moley
figures in almost every vital de.
cision made at the White House
Yet an air of mystery seems to
surround him.
Man Of Few Words
He doesn't play the social game.
He seldom talks. He's seldom
seen around town, except crossing
the street between the State De
partment and the White House.
Yet when the President is max.
ing decisions that will affect the
future welfare of the country,
Moley'S at the White House, and
when the nations interests are at
stake in the field of international
affairs, Moley is on the scene.
What kind of a man is he? His
close personal friends reply that
he is a "realist." Facts are a
passion with him. He seeks them
for the sheer joy of discovery.
Crime Investigator

little old woman with a cane

'My dear, this can't be Jayne

Miss Manners, dancer with
Tom Patricola in Hold Your

The little old lady said, softly
producing a paper:
"I have a summons for you.

Bright Children Healthy
Contrary to the popular be-
lief that gifted children are puny
and weak, it was found in an
extensive study that gifted chill
dren, on the whole, are physically
superior to the average children
of their own age.
Under proper guidance, the
gifted child may become out
standing not only in the class
room, but also on the playground.
He is not only a thinker; he is
also doer. Says DR.. Martens:
Creative ability is his, and
it is creative ability which the
world needs in its onward
march of progress"
The fact that a child is in
tellectually more mature mentally
than physically sometimes causes
maladjustment. For this reason
teachers find it advisable to EN-
courage social contacts with child
rem of approximately the same
physical and mental maturity.
Among such companions the gift
ed child has an opportunity to
enjoy normal play experiences.
Needs of Gifted Child

gifted child. at least three meth

Another method of dealing with
exceptional children is to provide

ACTIVITY Units"
The segregated class. if wisely
administered, should not lead to
egotiSm or social snobbishness, ex-
perince shows, according to DR..
Martens, who adds:
"The purpose of the special
class lies in the assignment of
tasks which challenge the child's
capacity, the enrichment of the
curriculum to include a wide va
riety Of experiences which are
not possible in a regular class"
In the third place the enrich
ment of the gifted child's school
life may take the form of special
assignments in the regular class,
such as club work, or group pro.
jectS carried on under the teach
er'S guidance called activity
units" DR.. Martens says:
"The activity unit has been
proved to be the most promising
method for cOOrdinating the en-
tire program around a central
theme"
In one school the class for gifted
children was organized into a min
