Why Stint Gifted To Help Retarded

A | time-~when many educators, almost
the entirety of industry and all scient-
lists deplore the need for better-educated
students, the L. S. Office of Education be-
gins a research program that is aimed in
an odd direction. The widely heralded Re-
search Advisory Committee has approved
20 projects for study of which 10 are con-
cemed with education of mentally retard-
ed children
The Committee has S1,020,090 available
for this work 1t will spend 1915, 900 of this
amount on research regarding mentally re-
tarded children.
BY contrast tire are only three projects
which concern the bright" or gifted pupils
in our schools system. The Committee does
not specify how much money will be spent
IN trying to solve some of the problems
which may be of concern to these highly
intelligent students
Only few days ago, Admiral Rickover,
the man who made the atomic submarine
go, offered another of his recurrent Meas

So, after a series of unusually

to the prolonged wet spell through

Mistakes Essential to Learning

1t is easy to be critical Of those under Us.

available on studying education in its rela-
ton to the mentally retarded child The
two attitudes are dramatically opposed
Certainly every heart goes out to the child
who is not naturally endowed with as much
mental ability as another. And the concept
of state-financed and directed education
requires that these children receive as much
benefit from the schools as is possible
Yet, 1t Is hard to see why the potential

should be left to shuttle as best they can in
system which IS not particularly concern
ed about them. The gifted students, in fact
must be the ones to resolve the problems
which face the mentally retarded. and not
the other way around
This may be another piece of the educa-
tional philosophy which feels the schools
must concentrate on turning out great
number of mediocre students while hoping
that some of the brighter boys and girls
will rise, like cream, to the surface. Such
an attitude may increase the average daily
attendance, but it does little to increase
the number of scholars.

A dozen times or more

And we'll we know the gist,

The first he ever kissed.
In eorIy morn he gets beck home
And gIodness fills his cup
The good Samaritan he's been
With sick friends sitting up.
Out to the woodshed he repoirs,
His heir to interview,
And tells HIS son while switching him,
This hurts me more than you"
He next has leisure on his hands
And fills can with bolt;

Ten pounds to be its weight

He finds his greotest Joy

THE Navy has sent its second atomic sub

the new atomic sub is about ready for duty
is highly significant
The Seawolf is powered by different
atomic engine than that used in the Nauti-
lus-the first atomic sub. Some experts be-
lieve the power plant to be less efficient
than than which powers the older atomic
submersibe

Effect of Tight Money

ONE of the results Of the Eisenhower
- Administrations tight money policies
is the effect it is having on farmers and
others who wish to borrow money to build
homes.
The FILA has been borrowing its money
for home loans at very low interest rate
in recent years and lending the money UNI
der five percent. This was fair rate of in
terest which didn't cause hardship to any
one.
Now, however, the interest rate which the
FILA is having to pay for its money is up
to almost five percent and the rate to be
charged to private citizens is headed for
seven percent. So, the little man, who must
borrow money, is paying heavy price for
the tight money policy which is supposed to
check initiation.
