GREAT EXPECTATIONS

There is one phrase that / wish
might never hear again: The diff

from mothers in the very presence

The difficult" child is never happy.
even though he does bask in the
limelight of his mothers and her
friends attention. II is the normal
child that is happy, the child whose
] mother expects him to be even-tem-
pered and capable. Is it misguided
love that makes so many mothers
dwell on the little ills of childhood
until they are magnitied in their
own and in the children's eyes?
| Little Nadine Brown was never a
sturdy child, but it seemed to many
that she might have had fewer colds
! if her mother had dared to let her
play in the sunshine and fresh air.
Even the operation that came when
she was four years old and the de-
vastating weeks of cOnyalescence
that followed might have been
avoided. 1t was those weeks of con-
valescence that made the little girl
a semi-inyalid.
Mrs. Brown would say sadly. I'D
like so let Nadine go out to roll
snOwballs with the other children,
but we've had to be so careful of
her since her operation"
used TO see Nadine standing at a
window, watching the neighbOrhood
children playing Out-Of-doOrs. She.
herself, was growing more frail and
big-eyed every day. though it must
be confessed she enjoyed the distinc-
ton of being different. Indeed, her
behavior became an even more SER
ious problem than her health.
In the child's presence her mother
would say, We haven't dared to
cross Nadine since that terrible ILL
ness-we nearly lost her. you know.
| just can't let her cry"
Nadine knew very well that lit
tie dry-eyed sObbing would get her
anything she wished. Though Mrs.
Brown was often embarrassed by her
daughters naughtiness. the memory
OF those dark days at the hospital and
the long weeks of anxious care pre-
vented her from manifesting the firm
girl to sensible living.
Fortunately for Nadine. her story
has a happy ending. Few people
who know her nova bright, rosy
checked little ird-grader-recall
the difficult" child who started to
school in Marian Wycoff's first grade
room. Miss Wycoff remembers. for
il was she who wrought the seem
ingl. miraculous change.
Helping Nadine Brown hack to a
normal childhood took more daring
than anything else have ever done.

ther and told her that Nadine was
we'll on the way toward becoming a
hopeless hypochondriac. asked her
to look into the future and picture
the sort of woman Nadine would be-
come. Lacking self-control, she
would make everybody around her
unhappy.
ITO my surprise. Mrs Brown was
eager for help. We sat right down
end worked out plan that called !
for much firmness on the part OF
both mother and teacher. Before
the year was over Nadine was a
different child.
Mrs. Brown deserves more credit /

Only so Per Cent of Best Students
Get to College

"The leaders of tomorrow are growing up
in the homes of the working class today"
That's a reasSuring statement, and it comes
from pretty good authority = the Public
Affairs Committee of New York which, from
time to time, issues pamphlets packed with
information concerning social n political
problems. The latest of these publications
carries the intriguing title, How Good Are
Our Colleges?" It's based on a survey of
Pennsylvania high schools, normal schools,
colleges and universities. Here are some of
the interesting facts developed:
Fifty per cent of the best high school
students went to college, the other SO per
cent went to work. Why? Because they
didn't have the money to go to college.
The places they should have taken in col
lege went to students who were not so bright
but whose parents had the necessary cash.
About 1900 of the high school students had
parents who were professional men or
women; more than $4,000 were from the
homes of skilled or unskilled laborers. About
600 students from homes of the professional
class reached or surpassed an intelligence
score of Sc, while about 1900 students from
the labor group reached that same level.
Putting it another way, the test amply
demonstrated that intelligence is not con-
fined to any class or group.
It also revealed a most amazing fact con-
corning the relative intelligence of high
school and college students. For example,
there were $50 college seniors ready for
graduation whose "stock of knowledge" fell
below that of the average high school gradu-
ate. That meant that there were hundreds
Of boys and girls about to enter college who
knew more than boys and girls who were
about to graduate after four years of a college
course.
Many, many other facts of equal interest
were dug up, but one which seems most
worthy of earnest consideration is that which
reveals that at least half of our best high
school students can't get to college because
their parents haven't the money. Surely,
that is a waste Of human resources which
America cannot afford to continue.-Labor.
