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

they reach their 20's, do mag
nificent work in the sciences.
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.

The bill was offered by
Sen. Richard L. Neuberger
(D.-Ore.).
Holmes said in a statement
filed with Neuberger's senate
public works subcommittee
that the bill would evoke
"cries of socialism only from
those who have a vested in
terest in perpetuating confu
sion." Sen. Henry Dworshak (R
Ida.) and Thomas W. Delzell,
chairman of the board of the
Portland General Electric
company, both testified in op
position to the bill.
Dworshak, favoring inter
state compacts instead of reg
ional corporation, complained
that" under the bill Idaho
might not be represented on
the board of directors, al
though the state furnishes
much of the area's water.
Delzell said the bill, "in
