child's normal reaction to an
abnormal situation, and is the
child's effort at solving the
problem.
Adults, the speaker continued,
have a tendency to live their
life in children and see the
children's lives in terms of what
they would have liked to have
done. He advocated that they
not try to "make a sunflower out
of a violet," but make the very
best violet and the very finest
sunflower.
Brought to Salem by the Ore
gon department of health, the
sponsors of the northwest family
relations conference in Portland
at which Dr. Plant is speaking,
tile specialist in conduct disor
ders of adults and children gave
a brief preview of the work
done by his clinic and made re
commendations as to the type of
clinic that would be most bene
ficial for this area.
Discussing the truant child,
Dr. Plant noted that often such
a situation comes into being be
cause a curriculum meant only
(or a few is forced upon every
child. The child's truancy is his
attempt to solve a problem ra
ther than be a problem. Here is
where the clinic is useful by
looking for what the child is
seeking and finding out where
blocks arc put up to hinder him.
Further commenting he noted
that often the problem child is
the more sensitive child and is
really bringing to light the prob
lem of many children.
Commenting that America
measures a person too much by
his academic knowledge rather
than the use he makes of his
knowledge Dr. Plant stated that
there is fallacy and destruction
ahead in the aristocracy of the
IQ and the country has gotten
away from the viewpoint of the
colonial days when a black
smith merited as much respect
for doing a good job as the vil
lage lawyer did if he did his job
well. Of the person with a low
er IQ he said, such a person who
does his best is a belter citizen
of democracy than a person with
an IQ ot 150 doing a job of only
120 IQ.
