ers, There are the slower stu
dents who need constant reassur-
ance and help so they don't lose
interest and so they can follow
what's going on. There are the
truly gifted who, if they had their
way, would answer every ques-
ton and hurry on to the next
lesson. And there's the great
middle group who sometimes
seem to kind of float by them
selves while the teacher is run
nj back and forth between
the TWO exceptional groups. I've
often wondered to myself which
group is really the handicapped.
How to solve this problem of
the three groups-and the varia-
tions within those groups-is
question occupying more and
more people these days. The
need for skilled professionals
and leaders is putting more en-
phasls on the education of the
gifted, while the humanitarian
emphasize educating the physi-
cally, mentally and emotionally
handicapped. Others remind us
that democratic principles die

majority.

some cases, special schools for
each group. That way, say their

Memphis Clergy
Victim of Third
Unknown Fire

MEMPHIS-Rev. Charles II.
Mason of 1855. Glenview ST., who
has been harassed with three fires
Of unknown Origins, said he was
completely lost for an explana-
ton about the fire which broke
Out in his attic Monday night
while ne and his family were
away from home He said the
origin of the fire is still being
investigated.
He said the damage, which was
slight F, was confined to the attic.
He said firemen reported finding
card board in the attic. Il don't
know how the card board got
there. | am sure no member of
my family put it there and we
were surprised to learn that it
was there" A window at his
home was also smashed a short
time ago while the family was
away.
Rev. Mason purchased the house
in the all-white neighborhood in
June, 1856 but he did not occupy
1t until nearly IL months later
His neighbors have shown dis
pleasure about him occupying the
two-story brick and stone dwell
ing.
The fire was reported Monday
by three unidentified callers, ac-
cording to reports. Firemen fore
ed their way through a front
door.
The fire harassment started with
the Mason when a cross was
burned on his lawn some weeks
ago Investigating authorities at
that time termed the cross burn
ing a prank. On Feb. IA his
church at Georgia and Lauder
dale was completely destroyed by
fire. 1t was valued at $250,000
Fire Marshall Owen N. Nesseth
said perhaps the fire at the Ma
sons home started from a short
circuit. However, the possibility
of arson was not being overlook
ed.
Rev. Mason said "as far as l
know the cause of the fire which
destroyed my church is also still
being investigated.
The minister said that the most
objective man would be forced to
think that these fires aren't just
happening.

together according to their
abilities.
The opposite point Of view says
this isn't realistic because the
children will never again find
this artificial grouping in real
life.
In Denver, a new experiment
has started which might be one
way to solve this problem. There
they are testing the third and
fourth graders to find out which
ones have true intellectual abili-
ty. Those who turn out to have it
are then going to be given spe-
cial work and, by the time they
get to the last year of high
school, they'll get full year Of
college work.
It's been said that all children
think their parents are retarded
and all parents think their chill
dren are gifted. But | don't think
this quip is as true as it used to
be. Parents, it seems to me, are
becoming more realistic about
their children's abilities and they
want to find out early whether
they should be urging their chill
dren to try for college or help
them find curriculum in high
school better suited to their
talents.

nation available these days on
