How 70 sell gifted child
When gifted children are discovered, it
is almost certain that everyone - includ-
ing themselves - will benefit.
To look for a gifted child in your fam
lily, or in your community or school, you
must put aside tsUo misconceptions. The
first nsisconcepti0n is that gifted child
is a genius. Geniuses are extremely r0Te,
and ,chOIe generation produces only a
fesv. The second nsisconceptiOn is that a
Rifted child has distinctive and recOg-
nisabIe type of personality. He doesn't.
He may be fot or thin, leader or follower,
athlete or boOksCOrm. He may be a nsixer
or a IOner.
One very good indication of giftedness is
the standard 10. test. A child who scores
above l4O on such a test probably has
mental ability on the gifted level. The 10.
test is not, however, infallible. 1t tends to
exaggerate the prowess Of children whose
main gift is vocabulary, and in general. it
may reflect the child's experience as well
as his innate ability.
The best way you can recognize gifted
child is through certain qualities of person
atty that we have found gifted children
often possess. Read the IL signs" on the
next page and you'll have a pretty good
idea Of whether your child is gifted.
A word Of eovtion
No boy or girl will exhibit all II Of these
signs, but if child shows as many as six,
he's clearly exceptional.
If your child is gifted, make sure ne has
every opportunity to enrich himself men,
tally. Show him you respect his opinion.
Encourage him to follow his interests.
But what if your child exhibits only few OF
these qualities even none? Don't worry!
Being normal is still very good way to be:
And for most of us, that's lucky thing!

Truman Rebuffs
Beaten Rider

Jim Peck, the CORE~frccdom
Rider who was severely beaten
by a Birmingham mob on May
IA, approached former President
Harry S. Truman during one OF
his carly-morning walks to take
issue with a statement the latter
had made three days earlier to
the effect that non-southerners
should stay at home and mind
their business.
When Peck introduced himself
as "a Freedom Rider from the
north" Truman commented:
We'll. you'd better stay there" "
Peck then went on: "As | see
IL. ending racial segregation in
the US. is the business OF all
conscientious citizens, north,
south, east and west. Racial seq
reestion m ore than any other
single factor - besmirches the
v. S. in the worlds eyes and
aids the Communist propaganda
machine"
Truman then said: That's just
what you're doing: helping the
Communists
Peck concluded his statement
with: I'VE must show the world
that we practice democracy - not
lust preach it--and that means
ending segregation to which
Truman replied: Il don't want
to talk about it any more: I've
got nothing further to say
During the course of the walk,
after reporters had asked the
former President a number OF
questions on other matters, Peck
expressed regret that Truman
would not discuss the CORE Free
dom Rides any further and point
ed out that many prominent per
sons view the Freedom Rides
favorably. To this Truman replied
that the Freedom Rides constitute
lust trouble-making.'
