14 MAIL TRIBUNE, Medford, Oregon, Sunday, May 25, 1938 The Medical Aft. J? ... There is a fine booklet on the education of the excep tional child (Porter Sargent, 11 Beacon st., Boston 8, Mass. Thi3 and other books publish ed by Mr. Sargent can be of tremendous help to the par ents of gifted children when they are puzzled over what to do with their child. Those of us, who a year or so ago watched on television the lit tle boy who answered with ease questions on science which would have stumped anyone but a physicist or elec trician, must have wondered how he is going to come through the trials he must face in the next 10 years. What, for instance, can an ordinary high school do for a child like that? When in many fields he knows so much more than his teacher knows, how can she help him or lead him or guide him? Should he be allowed to rush on, far ahead of his class, or should he be held back? Should he be sent to a special school? Is it wise to let a child like that go to Harvard when he is 14? Will he be happy there? Will he get too far out of step with his generation? Will he be like one of America's gen iuses who, when he was a youth, felt like committing suicide he was so lonely, so unable to converse with any one of his age. Mori Successful Dr. Lewis Terman, one of the world's experts on this problem of the education of gifted children, said that his 30-year follow-up of the ca reers of the 14)00 gifted chil dren he studied, had shown that those who were accelerat ed in their schooling by even three years were usually more successful in their later life than were the equally bright children who were held back is the lock-step of a school that was designed for the average plodding child. It would seem obvious that the gifted child should have a special type of education, alesgined just for him. Many jarents of average children isay deeply resent this appear ance of favoritism, but they shouldn't. They must remem Jr that the gifted children an our country are our great Et assets, and so, every effort tfiould be made to help them forge ahead and get the ed ucation they can use later to juch great advantage. Com ttonly, these children, when 1: fel Mftl Hl-lf J i in i i Two-Suiter $25.$ Give Sai sonite the luggage that spells success! Give smart Samsonite slim, trim and tapered.

They can solve so quickly problems which an average person like me could never figure out. Oftentimes, a child who is a bit of a genius is not even recognized as such in school. He gets so bored by the slow pace of teaching in his school room that he is inclined to get into mischief. Often his teach er complains to his mother that he is lazy and lacks pur pose. Even when he gets to college, he may have trouble because he may refuse to both er with courses in subjects that do not interest him. Also, he may quickly become so fascinated by research in some subject that he will spend practically all day and every day in his favorite laboratory. Certainly, the parent of the highly gifted child needs guid ance and special knowledge. Fortunately, books are now being written to help him. Does Exertion Bring a Heart Attack? Nowadays, many wives are constantly warning their ag ing husbands not to" exert themselves; they so fear that they might get a heart attack. It is perfectly true that, oc casionally, a none-too-strong middle-aged or elderly man will drop dead while shovel ing snow or wrestling with an automobile ire, or trying to walk through heavy snow but, actually, all but a few heart attacks come while the per son is quiet and at rest, per haps sitting reading, or per haps even asleep in bed. Some studies reported a while ago by Dr. J. L. Richardson show ed that only three of 100 pa tients got their attack while engaged in some unusual ex ertion. The first man got his first attack while lifting a heavy object out of his car, but this did not mean much because, for some time, he had been accustomed to doing this. His second attack woke him at two in the morning. The second man got his first attack while walking up a steep grade, but his second attack came while he was asleep at three in the morn ing The' third man had his first attack 10 minutes after He had a heated argument; but this probably didn't mean much because he always was having heated arguments; he was that kind of a man.
