NEA Service. with which The Democrat Is affiliated, has recently signed contract with the Ontario government giving the service ex- elusive rights to all photographs, sketches and paintings of the Quins. The sum paid for the contract. which will go into the Quins' own fund. is l2 times the amount of the original sum paid for exclusive pic- ture rights to the Quins shortly atfer their birth.
 Newspaper readers throughout the nation and throughout the world have shown that they regard the Dionne Quintuplet pictures as one of the geratest newspaper features of all time. NEA service spared no expense to retain It's rights to the pictures, for the benefit of the news- papers using it's service and their millions of readers.
 NEA has also renewed @ contract with Dr. Allan Roy Dafoe, the Quins' physician, covering his newspaper and magazine articles. A new series of Dr. Dafoe articles will be pub lished shortly.
 Only Democrat readers can enjoy the intimate glimpses of the Quini made possible by NEA pictures, and the authoritative articles of their own doctor, Dr. Dafoe.

erbury Chess club journeys to Hartford to meet the Class B team of the Hartford Chess club, win- ners of last years tournament. On Saturday evening the Class A team will be hosts to the team from Deep River Chess club at their rooms at 168 East Main street. In the second round the Deep River team tied the cham- pion Hartford club and an in- teresting match is expected. It is difficult to predict the result of this match, because of the uncer- tainty as to the players who will represent Waterbury. The Water- bury Y. M. c. A. team plays host to the John Winthrop Chess club of New London at the YMCA on Saturday and the loca, team should win easily.

yesterday, Armistice Day and
will continue to Thanksgiving,
has a direct appeal to Smyrna

The pupils thus selected would be

after Educational Achievement

Fine Vote of Confidence

A mandate of the people of
the United States, to the eff
feet that Franklin d. Roose-
velt should be their President
for the next four years, was
handed down Tuesday. His
plurality is unprecedented in
the annals of our political his
tory. Never was there a man
so nearly unanimously the
choice of all the States of the
Union. The verdict at the
polls means in the main a
stamp of approval, a vote of
confidence, that should have a
SOLDERING effect and a deeper
responsibility on the Presi-
dent. Let us hope for the
American way.
Governor Landon, in defeat,
has proved himself a good
sport and it is incumbent upon
every good American citizen,
whether he voted for a winner
or loser, to recognize Roose-
welt as "Our President" and
to lend him whole-hearted
support.

training as the retarded child AS
a group, they are not only intellec-
tually superior, but records show
that they are also above average in
height, weight, strength and motor
control. 1t is on the mental side,
however, that significant differenc-
es are found: in reasoning, judg-
ment, resourcefulness, initiative
and interest, they rank far above
the average.
"Since gifted children generally
are three or more years beyond
the average children in their ca
pacity to assimilate ideas; and
since there is a considerable varia-
tion between intelligence and ply
Eique, it would be to the advantage
of the gifted to hove them segre-
gated in special classes, SO that
appropriate provision might be
made for the exercise of all their
capacities. The discrepancy be-
tween physical size and intelligence
becomes great, in the lower grades,
as to render satisfactory choice
of playmates difficult. The present
school plant could be reorganized

be directed into the Academic High
School. The argument might be
advanced that this is not in ac-
cordance with our democratic Sc
cial philosophy, but as is well
known, segregation will eventually
come about on the basis of social
and economic selection. Unques-
tionably, the idea of a selection of
gifted children on the basis of
natural endowment by objective
tests will bring many new prob
lens, which will have to be solved
by experiment. Some of these are
administrative and supervisory;
others deal with the curriculum,
selection of teachers, method of
teaching, rate of progress and the
financial consideration.
There are valid reasons why
rapid progress through school is
very advantageous for psychologist
al, and economic adjustment. Seq
regation, with rapid progress dur
ing the early years of the element
airy school, would permit pupil
to enter high school at an earlier
age, and eventually complete his
college and professional courses
earlier in life. The priod of prep
aration for the learned professions
has become a serious problem in
modern civilization. 1t is entirely
out of proportion to the span of
life. 1t is scarcely possible for
young people to become self-sus-
tanning economically, by means of
profession, until they are approx
imately thirty years of age. BY
this method of rapid progress
through Elementary School, it
would be possible to keep this
period of preparation within rea-
sonable bounds, and student
could arrive at self-sustenance in
a profession at approximately
twenty-three years of age. Is
there any legitimate reason, all
other things being equal, why a
gifted person should not become
self-sustaining professionally, at,
or near, the time in life when he
has reached legal majority?
Pupils to be considered in this
group should be in the top one
percent of their generation for
general intelligence, with Intelli-
gence Quotients of 13O and above,
as determined by the Stanford
Binet Intelligence Tests. Moth
ing has been found to take the
place of well standardized mental
tests administered alone by an ex-
perienced examiner. While teach
ers' judgment, school marks, and
group tests are helpful in select
ing the gifted they are not as re-
liable, and may fail to detect a
few who are gifted.
THE plan under consideration
here is the reorganization of the
present public school system,
wherever there is a school popula-
ton large enough to make this
possible. We have every reason
to believe that there is a sufficient
number of gifted children to segre-
gate these into groups. in specially
equipped class rooms, offering a
more enriched curriculum, with
teachers qualified by nature and
training for this type of instruc-
ton. Next to the pupil, the teach
er is the most important adjunct of
a classroom. Candidates who lack
personality, culture and character
should not be considered. Some
of their personal traits should be
a sense of humor, patience, super
