dancer and needs advanced
training in choreography. Can
you recommend several colleges
that offer dance majors?
ANSWER: A number of good
colleges have dance programs
that would meet your daugh-
ter'S needs. I'd suggest you look
into these institutions, located
in various parts of the country:
Mills College Oakland, Calif);
Bennington College (Benning-
ton. VT; Sarah Lawrence Col
lege (BronXville, N. " and the
Women's College of the Uni
versity of North Carolina
Chapel Hill, N. c.. The cata-
logueS of these institutions
would give you an indication
of the type Of programs they
offer.
QUESTION: Not long ago
you advised a mother about
good pre-forestry schools. My
son, a junior in high school,
wants to be a doctor. Can you
recommend the best pre-med
schools in the East? He has
good high school marks and we
feel he'll be a good physician.
Is it necessary for him to go
to a pre-med school that has
its own medical college at
tached, such as Columbia, Uni
versity of Pittsburgh, Harvard
or Duke? I've heard rumorS
that you have a much better
chance of getting into a medi-
cal school if you go to that
institution for your under
graduate work. Is that correct?
What do you advise?
ANSWER: 1t is not neces-
to get into Harvard Medical
School, or the University of
PittSburg to get into Pitts
School of Medicine. Your ru-
mors are not correct. Much
will depend upon the grades
and the caliber of work your
son does during his four un-
der graduate years. If he is
student at a good premed
school he will have Just as
much chance of getting into
Columbia Med School as
graduate from Columbia Col
lege.
You ask for a list of the
best" pre-med colleges in the
East. That is an almost impos-
sible request. There are large
numbers of top-notch under
graduate liberal arts colleges,
not only in the East, but, in
every section of the United
States. Much will depend on
what your boy wants out Of
college, in what section of the
country he wants to live, and
whether he wants a large or
small institution. The Associa-
ton of American Colleges,
Washington, has a membership
of some 700 liberal arts COL
legeS. You might get names Of
colleges suitable Cor your boy
from his high school guidance
counselor.

the nearly so paintings there,
all Of the past two years,
depict old houses with towers,

uninhibited use of bright COL

Her second great source Of
exhibitions is due in part to
the lack Of adequate exhibi-
ton space for many of the
important public art collec-
tions in Washington. Many
of these are virtually un-
known to the general public
simply because there is little
opportunity to see them. The
institutions involved, includ-
ing the Smithsonian and the
National Collection of Fine
Arts, are glad to have their
material available to art
lovers around the country,
Thus several shows have
been assembled from the In
dex of American Design, the
vast visual compilation of the
historical American look Of
things. made by the WPA in
the 1930s and now housed in
the National Gallery of Art.
One Of the top print COL
lectiops in the world is the
Lessing j. RoSenwald one in
Jenkintown, Pa, a gift by
Mr.. Rosenwald to the Ma
tional Gallery. 1t is the ma
ture of a print collection to
have many more items than
it can possibly show. The
Rosenwald collection, too,
provides the material for
some of the strongest Exhibi-
tions Service shows.
Likewise, the print and
photo collections of the Lii
brary of Congress are drawn
upon to good advantage.
Such material makes up the
bulk of the Services shows
in the arts. The customer in
stitutions rent the exhibi-
tions for a fee running from
$35 to $500, with most of
the shows priced around 5000.
The rental includes insurance,
publicity materials and,
often catalogs, slides and
movies to augment the exhi-
bition itself. In addition to
the rental, the customer as
sumes the cost of shipping
the show on to the next stop.

EDUCATION
FORUM
BY BENJAMIN FINE

QUESTION: I am an avid
reader of you're olumn and won-
der if you could give me some
advice regarding our son Teddy
who is almost 4 years old. Ted
dy is very bright and already
knows ow to read and spell.
We don't push him but we do
encourage him. He likes us
to read to him frequently. But
I've been told by friends that
we should discourage Teddy
from reading or writing. Un-
less we do, they say, he'll be
a problem in school. Is this
true?
I suppose a child who can
read while the rest of the class
is struggling to learn can be
a problem to the teacher. But
aren't today'S teachers and
methods geared to include
bright children? Should we
really discourage his interest
in Reading? If he were your
child. what would you do?
ANSWER: I'd encourage him
to continue reading! And writ
ing, and spelling, too. Evil
IDENTIFY you have an exception
ally bright child on your hands.
Instead Of worrying about it,
count your blessings. Instead
of problem, it's an asset. OF
course, difficulties may lie
ahead. Parents of bright young
Sters know that they require
more attention, and greater I'M
derstanding.
Can schools cope with first
graders who are above aver
age? Unfortunately. not many
schools make provision for su-
perior children. Only 5 per
cent of the Nations schooy sys-
TENS actually have adequate
programs for your Teddy, and
thousands of other TeddyS. But
that doesn't mean you should
discourage a bright child from
reading before he enters school.
You might talk with your
boys teacher and principal
when school opens. Explain
your problem. Perhaps you will
get a sympathetic response. 1t
is quite obvious that if Teddy
has to sit through hours of te-
dious (to him) reading lessons
he will be bored and restless.
Not long ago I saw a cartoon
in one of the newspapers that
showed a distraught mother
talking with a teacher. And the
teacher snapped: Il don't care
whether your child knows how
to read. He didn't pass the
reading test" Some teachers
