TWO MEDFORD (OREGON)
Bright Pupils Neglected,
Congress Delegates Told
San Francisco (U.R) Dr.
Bergen Evans, nationally known
educator and TV quizmaster, be
lieves it is the duty of parents
and teachers to develop intelli
gent, that is, superior-children.
Addressing a banquet closing
the National Congress of Parents
and Teachers Wednesday night,
Evans said it is a waste of so
ciety's money to go on educat
ing the unintelligent beyond a
certain point.
"If you have a limited amount
of money, it should be spent on
educating the intelligent," he
said.
Evans is professor of English
also prepares the question's on
at Northwestern university. He
TV's "The 564,000 Question" and
"The $64,000 Challenge" and is
moderator of the show," "Down
You Go."
Asserting that intelligence is
the "most important single pos
session of society, Evans said
it must be developed and chil
dren must be encouraged to
make use of it.
"The questioning spirit of chil
dren must be preserved," he said.
"They must be given answers
and must be kept informed; even
while their skepticism is being
encouraged."
Evans warned against giving
the wrong kind of encourage
ment. He said there is a danger
that the potentially superior
child can be spoiled by overen
couragement and the moderately
superior can be made to expect
too much of himself.
"Suppose you thought that a
young girl was a potentially
great actress," he said. "This
could be extremely dangerous.
It might be just youthful enthus
iasm, and you might ruin a good
American housewife."

MAIL TRIBUNE
San Francisco U.R) A
noted teacher and television lec
turer believes the nation's edu
cational system needs a drastic
overhauling to let the bright
pupil get ahead.
Dr. Frank Baxter, professor
of English at the University of
Southern California, believes
that superior pupils in public
schools are often going to
"waste" because mediocre stu
dents are holding them back.
"It is wrong that the superior
student with rich capabilities
should be denied the chance to
unfold to the limits of his pow
ers, Baxter told the National
Congress of Parents and Teach
ers.
"It is a sin that the mediocre
and the unpotential should set
the pace for their betters.
"One wonders whether there
should not be some point in pub
lic education where those un
able, uninterested and unwill
ing to go further should be
shunted off into trade schools,
or even, if they have obtained a
bare minimum of education, into
doing that humble work in the
world that has to be done by
somebody." '
Undemocratic Procedure
Baxter agreed that such a pro
cedure would be "undemo
cratic." than the way the gods
have distributed genes among
the population of the world."
Another speaker, Dr. Karl D.
Ernest, now director of music
in San Francisco public schools
and formerly director of the
"gifted child" project in Port
land, said personality traits
sometimes hide the fact that a
child may be exceptionally
bright.
Ernest said some bright chil
dren often develop certain "ob
noxious traits" in early school
years. As a result, he said, teach
ers resent rather than reward
them.
Corrects Teacher
"The child might be the kind
who corrects his teachers mis
takes, or who refuses to apply
himself to studies which bore
him," Ernest said.
He said teacher's must be on
the alert to recognize superior
students when they see them.
Philip S. Green, director of
the federal government's new
delinquency service, said juven
ile delinquency is the nation's
second most important problem,
second only to Communism.
"Juvenile delinquency in
creased again in 1955 for the
seventh consecutive year," he
said. "The increase was 9 per
cent, yet during the same year
the child population increased
only 3 per cent."

'Spring Promenade7 Show
Attracts Many to Phoenix
Phoenix More than 300 peo
ple attended the flower show,
"Spring's Promenade," given by
Phoenix Garden Club in the
Phoenix Community hall Sun
day afternoon and evening.
Entrance to the show was
gained by way of a mossy path
way between a split rail fence
and a forest glade in which a
waterfall gurgled over logs and
rocks.
Hostesses wearing large pastel
colored garden hats escorted
guests to the colorful arrange
ments displayed and to the edu
cational exhibits featuring wild
flowers, birds, flower preserva
tion for dried arrangements and
graphic illustrations of conser
vation. Not the least interesting
among the outstanding arrange
ments was the table displaying
Junior Gardener's arrangements
which received favorable com
ment from adult arrangers.
The Forestry club of Phoenix
4-H club exhibited the effects
of soil erosion in a visual dis
play. Phoenix Hardware com
pany showed the latest in stain

ing. Rogue Valley Florists pro

Grace He cares for nothing

Leon I have reached an im

make a difficult decision. For
15 years I was on the rise in the
organization by which I am em
ployed, but now I seem to be
the object of a sidetracking ef
fort on the part of my superior.
I feel I should force a show
down, but this is a risky busi
ness. I earn a good salary, but
have lived up to it and do not
have any large reserve. If I were
to get into a tight position and
felt it necessary to resign, I
would have to curtail our liv
ing standard drastically, selling
our house and scaling down our
costs all along the line. This
might even force us to withdraw
from our social circle and make
a new life elsewhere.
Because the problem is so ser
ious I have consulted my wife,
but she does not seem to under
stand my position. She thinks
I am lacking in patience and
thoughtless of her stake and the
children's.
G;ace I could be sympathetic
to my husband's position if I did
not know how difficult and
thoughtless a person he has . be
come. We have been married 17
years, and during all that time

Council
a social life for him, foregoing
my own tastes in order to make
him happy. Despite this, he has
often humiliated me before his
friends and has had a number of
painfully embarassing flirtations
with women he has required me
to be friendly with.
Knowing how sensitive and
unfair he has been at home, I
can understand how he could
misconstrue attitudes in his of
fice and see a crisis where none
need exist. I cannot help feeling
his craving for flattery and at
tention is pushing him into a
showdown that may needlessly
deprive our children of the ad
vantages of a good home. I
think he is being very selfish.
m
The Council: We fear Grace
may be missing an opportunity
to improve her relations with
Leon. He no doubt suffers from
oversensitivity and hurt ego,
but he is not likely to improve
in those respects if he carries a
chip on his shoulder into his
office and loses a position to
which he has climbed through
15 years of effort.
Grace should weigh the pos
sibility that Leon's inconsiderate
behavior at home may be, at
least in part, the result of some
very real difficulties in the of
fice. Office politics can some
times become an insupportable
strain to a sensitive man and

home.
Leon has come home asking
for sympathy and family solidar
ity in the face of what he be
lieves to be an office crisis.
Grace should try harder to see
her way. clear to standing with
him. She sees the folly of sac
rificing a good position because
of over-sensitivity, but she too
may be committing the same fol
ly because of her resentment of
her husband's flirtations and her
humiliations.
It is much better to have aj
quarrel over an uueusive in
cident than to store resentments
and allow them to stand in the
way of family unity in a crisis
of this kind. Leon has evidently
carried his office frustrations
into his home, but Grace is fall
ing into the trap when she seeks
to punish him by withholding
her sympathy.
