feels, that gifted children some
times participate in too many
school clubs and activities. to the
point where an aversion for meet
ings and responsibility develops.
and they fail to take their place
as leaders and responsible citizens
IN society when they are older
and their ability most needed.
This is just a supposition, she
added, but an interesting one.
We need wise parents, she re-
marked, who avoid pushing"
their children until they are
burned out.
Another of the unsolved ques-
tions about the gifted: Is the
gifted child happier expressing
his gifts, and how far can he go
without upsetting his normal life?
These children must be treated
as individuals. Miss Williamson
reminds. We must understand
their needs as individuals. Much
research is needed If true under
standing is to be fostered, she
pointed out.
Miss Williamson visits private,
public and parochial schools to
study gifted children in their re-
lationships to their groups, teach
ers and work, their special talents
and themselves. and to learn how
early rare ability can be detected.
Work of teachers showing special
interest in this field is studied,
and the life records of students
who received special awards, fell
lowships or scholarships are fol-
lowed.
The associations book, 1.-The
Gifted Child" is to be published
by D. c. Heath & Co. in Febru-
airy. 1t will be made up of con-
tributions from some Of the out
standing educators in the United
States and Canada. Miss William

the approval OF their group, gifted
children sometimes will not vol
unteer an answer they know. or
will deliberately dodge answering
when called upon in class, hiding
their ability. in order to live hap
PLY with their group and not be
outsiders.
Here is the case of Henry, whose
intelligence was placing him out
side the charmed circle. Henry,
aged s, was afraid to go down
the playground slide. He would
stand and watch the other chill
dren and tell them how they
should do it. Demonstrating the
interest in science common to the
gifted child, he had asked his
father why things fell when one
let go of them and through this
had become interested in gravity
His father had spent considerable
time with his son, and they had
discussed the fact that there is a
center Of gravity. Henry under
stood why some children fell from
the slide; therefore, he would
stand by and say. Don't lean over
SO far-your center OF gravity is
wrong"
This amused his little friends
and they began to call him
Gravity" Henry was puzzled al
first by this, and then infuriated
He fought with the children anc
was generally unhappy.
Henry had wise father. One
day, when there was no school
he took Henry to the school play
ground and insisted that he learr
how to slide. He got him to the
place where he was not afraid te
perform certain stunts" that at.
tracted favorable attention. The
boys then forgot about Gravity
and accepted him as one of them
Another problem which is COM
mon to many children but is ac-
centuated in the gifted, we learned
is the Illustration which comes
from the fact that the body does
not respond as readily as the in
telligence in the learning process.
No matter how intelligent a per-
son is the development of physical
SkillS takes long and careful
repetition.
One little boy wanted to skate.
He was given skates for Christmas.
His father took him to the skating
pond and helped him adjust his
shoes and skates. Then the father
said. Take hold of my hand and
I will go with you onto the ice"
The little boy said he did not want
any help. He fell. got up, fell
again, and refused to try again.
He was very disappointed.
He didn't know that one had to
learn to skate. He removed the
skates, took one in each hand
and made elaborate figure eights
on the ice. He did not want to 20
through the boredom of practice:
he wanted to learn figure skating
and was not willing to spend time
learning.

What About PoIio7

The season when we expect the
highest incidence of poliomyelitis
is here. What do we know and
how can we be prepared to meet
the threat of this disease? for
the past several years only 10
persons out of every 100000
throughout the United States have
been paralyzed. Even during epi-
denies the rate has rarely been
more than one paralytic case per
thousand population. Approx
mately half the people who are
diagnosed as having polio will
have no paralysis. Of those who
do about SO percent will have

Travelling PickereI
Mystery Is Solved

The mystery about the travel
ing pickerel," with the Ohio gill
tag caught by, Andrew ]. Schultz
of Youngstown, Ohio on July 4th
some 1900 miles from home in
Canadian Lake, has been solved.
The pickerel had not travelled
at all.
The story is that Jim Thomas
of Dayton, Ohio, former en-
ployee of the Wildlife Division,
was fishing at Kashawakamak
Lake near Harlowe, Ontario about
three years ago and happened to
have some old unused fish gill
tags in his pocket that were issued
about 1888 Before releasing sever
al understood pickerel he had
caught from the Canadian Lake,
he simply tagged" them. 1t was
one of these that the Youngstown
fisherman caught on July 4th.

no lasting weakness, and 25 per-
cent will have a mild physical
limitation. Polio is caused by q
virus of which there are at least
three strains. There are no drugs,
vaccine or serums proved to be
of value in preventing or treat
ing the disease. The virus may be
spread by discharge from the
nose or mouth, by feces, or by
flies and by contact with a per-
son who is not recognizably sick.
Children seem to be more suScep-
tible than grownups, although an
increasing rate in young adults
is being reported. The onset of the
illness may resemble common
cold or an upset stomach. In
fact, that is all that may be pre-
sent in the nonparalytic or abor-
tive cases. These are rarely re-
cognized as polio, but fortunately
the person affected thus gains
immunity to the disease. If fever
persists or recurs and there is
headache, sore muscles, sore
throat, trouble swallowing, un-
usual nervousness or crossness,
pain in the neck or back, or vom-
iting, a doctor should be consult
ed at once.
What should you do if the di-
sease is in your neighborhood? II
is sensible to keep children away
from people whom they are moi
with right along in close daily
living since the virus can be .un-
knowingly spread by apparently
healthy carriers. If the virus is
present in your body, becoming
overtired and getting chilled may
bring on a serious attack. 1t ii

This is the tip d. d. Meyer, ex-
tension poultry specialist at Ohio
State University, has for CONNER
cial poultry raisers as well as farm
flock owners.
Meyer says many stunted pull
lets result from over-crowded
brooder houses. He advocates u.s.
ing the shelters during the brood
ing period. This enables the
poultryman to relieve crowded
conditions much earlier than
when chicks are confined to brood
er houses until they go to range.
For the average farm flock,
Meyer prefers a shelter 9 by u
feet or 10 by IL feet. This will ac-
commodate about $50 pullets. He
described the Ohio summer range
shelter as a dual-type building,
which serves as a sun porch IS
we'll as shelter. Information about
this shelter and new, loW-type
shelter can be obtained from

REMINDS FARMERS NOT TO
PASTURE FARM WOODLOTS

Keep the cattle out of the
woods" declared Forest Dean at
the start of another pasture seas
on in Ohio.
An extension forester at Ohio
State University, Dean says he has
seen too many farm woods ruined
by paSturing livestock. Cattle not
only eat the small seedlings but
they also damage many trees by
trampling.
Dean believes too many people
have an idea that well-managed
woods should be like a park.
Actually, a well-managed woods
will have trees of many sizes, from
Seeding to large trees.
Based on forage values, records
show that it requires at least II
acres of woods pasture to sup
port one unit of livestock I'm
proved pastures will support one
unit of livestock per acre.
Dean adds that wood production
from protected woodlands will
equal $3.50 to 81 per acre each
year, while wood pasture is worth
no more than rs cents per acre.

Good Seed, Soil Care
And Plant Food Give
Record Wheat Yield

THE teamwork of good farming
l. practices, plenty of fertilizer
and improved seed varieties helped
Claude w. Thorp produce 74.5
bushels of wheat per aclS on his
farm near Clinton, ILL.,, last sum-
mer. This was one of the highest
wheat yields ever reported.
Thorp's record crop came from
a 25.2 acre field. Altogether this
field produced 1879 bushels of
wheat. He seeded Pawnee wheat,
hard red winter variety developed
by the Kansas Agricultural Expert
ment Station. At harvest the wheat
was weighed on state-inspected
scales and the field carefully re-
measured.
At seeding time the autumn be-
fore the wheat was drilled at the
rate of bushel and half an acre,
following removal Of soybean
crop.
Thorp poured 1t on" so far as
fertilizer Is concerned. He broad
cast 500 pounds per acre Of 8-6-8
fertilizer before drilling the wheat.
Previously the same year, 400
pounds of 3-12-12 was added ahead
of the soybean crop. He uses this
heavy fertilizer program to build
up the soil under 4-year rotation
OF clover, corn. soybeans and wheat.
