YOU CAN MAKE YOUR CHILD A GENIUS
Continued from page eLeoen

studied at Harvard Law School.
Then came World War l and
Billy became a conscientious
objector. While doing research
work at NIT. he was given a
position which would have put
his inventive genius to work.
But when he found out a device
he was working on would be used
in warfare he quit. After the war
he was offered positions by the
movies and an insurance COM
pany. He refused both.
No 4ldpPin9
UNLIKE his sister, who became
a teacher after college and still
is in the same field, Billy didn't
want a career that would con-
sumo so much of his time. Instead
he worked only at temporary
jobs, where he made money
easily, and in between went on
long trips to gather scientific
data, especially on Indian tribes.
His writings have never been
published.
In 1914, after a walk in the
rain, he caught pneumonia and
died. He was 46.
Modern education, in contrast
to the Sidis method, advocates
"in-grade" development. The
skipping" of years ago, in which
some children were able to out
run others, has disappeared -i in
order to stress social adjustment.
However, the two systems
can dOvetail. Modern teach
ers are themselves taught to
let a child progress as fast as
he is able and never to retard
an aptitude. If your Betty or
Johnny is able to read Euclid in
the first grade the teacher is
there to encourage him, provid-
ing he can also count to 10, 20 or
100 or whatever is required.
Txwo Standard
So, AT least for the present,
Johnny at six would 60 to school
and stay there like any other
child. He may be a straight ga
plus" student from start to finish,
but his brilliance won't be meas
ured by how quickly he can run
through a curriculum. That, after
all, isn't what is important. What
is important is his ability to I'M
derstand and think for himself,
which in the final analysis, is the
true standard of a superior mind.
Educators themselves vary in
their opinions as to the results
that might be obtained by the
Sidis method. Some cite the
hereditary factor and say there
would be considerable variation
in ''brilliance." They also EN-
phasize, along with DR.. Sidis,
that parents using the method
should not make the mistake of
trying to push" their children.

Question: The porch floor on
the front of my house leaks
through into the fruit cellar be-
low during any rain or whenever
the floor is washed. No amount
of painting has stopped this con-
dition. Is there any way that
this can be accomplished?
Answer: The only way that you
could prevent leakage through the
porch floor is to cover it with
roofing canvas. Dealers in roof
ing materials handle the canvas
and manufacturers of this prod
uct furnish detailed instructions
on the installation Of same.
Types Of Wood Flooring.
Question: Do you consider oak.
maple and beech flooring as a
good type of wood or are, there
other woods just as good and
durable?
Answer: Most any type of hard
wood can be used satisfactorily
for flooring. However, the three
woods mentioned, plus pecan wood
flooring are the most readily avail
able. Maple and beech flooring
have less prominent grain and
are frequently chosen for use in
buildings where a great deal OF
traffic is encountered.
Odor i'm a New Home.
Question: We had a new home
built last February but did not
have it plastered till about five
weeks ago. I would like you to tell
me what could be done about the
terrible smell that we have in this
house.
Answer: Since your do not de-
scribe the nature of the odor. I
cannot tell what remedy would be
possible. Please advise if the odor
is characteristic of dampness or
mold, decayed matter. or smoke.
# the odor is that of wet plaster

Joints Between Wallboards.
Question: We, bought a small
house a few years ago which at
that time was newly papered. Soon
after we moved in, the wallpaper
cracked badly at the joints. On
investigation we found the walls
were covered with insulating WALL
board. We taped the seams and
applied texture paint: in a few
months this cracked open again.
Is there any remedy for this or
will we have to cover the walls
with plasterboard.
/ Answer: The joints can be kept
closed in the following manner:
Sandpaper about q 4-inch-wide
strip in the Joint area to create
"a recess in the surface about one
sixteenth to one-eighth Of an inch.
Apply Swedish putty into the re-
cess and then apply a 4-inch-Wide
strip of wire screening, mailing it
in place. More Swedish putty is
applied over the screening. level
ing it off with a wide blade putty
knife or trowel. Swedish putty is
made by mixing spackle with paint
or varnish-directions are on the
box. If smooth surface is desired,
the textured coating, if not too
rough. can be leveled of by the
application of ordinary spackle,
using a trowel for the purpose.
Loose Mortar i'm Walls.
Question: We are living in a
house just five years old and the
exterior walls are of a local sand
stone. I find that about 30 per
cent of the joints between the
stones are parting and some Of the
stones are loose. Can this be the
fault Of the stone mason? VIII
you advise what to do?
Answer: Masonry work Of any
type should last more than five
years, If properly done. The only
suggestion I could make would be
to rake out all loose and broken or
cracked mortar to depth of one
half inch or more, then brush out
all loose particles, wet the inner
surfaces with clear water. The
joints should be filled with a
mortar mixture consisting of one
part Portland cement and five
parts clean, coarse sand and one
part hydrated lime. adding only
