they end up by saying that Tommy

Often, however, these parents are
mistaken. Often, too, it is teachers
who lead them astray as to just what
they have a right to expect of their
children. There are great intellectual
differences among children but parents
and teachers frequently fail to recog-
nize them. In the matter of intellectual
ability, children are born neither free
nor equal.
There are, of course. many reasons
why children fail in their schoOlwork.
But the most common one. and the
one which should be given first con-
sideration, is their intellectual equip
ment. Often in dealing with failure
at school. we find that child is being
asked to carry altogether too heavy an
intellectual load.
What the teacher sees is an in

ference can be discovered accuratel,
by the tests that have been worked
out, though frequently this difference
is not easily recognized by other means.
Children who are limited in their
ability to achieve intellectual tasks
are not detectives. This fact must be
kept in mind A child may be intel
ligent without being intellectual. Often
child of this type is more respon-
sible person than his intellectual
superior If he is not forced into a
situation where failure is inevitable
but is given an opportunity to develop
his own special ability. he will sue

If your child is not of the intel
lectual type. he will need to be trained
rather than educated as he grows
older. Many a child like this deals
most successfully with practical. con-
crete situations. though he fails when
he delves into the distractions Of
higher education When parents and
teachers realize the importance Of
understanding a child's mental life -
and that means his intellectual limita-
tions as we'll as his abilities - he will
have fair chance to develop along
the lines for which he is best suited. 1t
will prove a most important step in
helping him toward a happier and
better adjusted life later on.
