, V -a s 2 MAIL TRIBUNE, MedforJ, Or. Monday, July 6, 1959 Schools Develop Programs For Superior Pupil St. Louis - Schools have de veloped new programs which offer superior students some thing more than just "brain stuffing," according to Dr, Charles W. Lafferty, superin tendent of public schools at Oak Park, 111. Dr. Lafferty addressed a session of the National Educa tion association convention which was concerned with what the schools have to offer "superior" students. This is a broader term than "gifted" Students. The "gifted" would be a smaller group, at the top of the "superior." As Dr. Laf ferty used the , term, "su perior" students are those who comprise the top 20 per cent in any school. Dr. Lafferty found in his research, which included a questionnaire sent to 500 representative schools throughout the country, s growing emphasis on stimu lating independent study and research by superior students. It was noteworthy, he said, how often the words cre ative" or "creativity" appear ed in descriptions of the goals of these programs. Other trends he observed: lengthening the school day and the school year; evening and Saturday seminars for bright students; summer pro grams expanding "by leaps and bounds." Teachers have reacted en thusiastically to the challenge, Dr. Lafferty said. Leafing through college catalogues he found at least 60, he said, which are offering to teachers this summer courses or work shops concerned primarily with the education of the gifted student.. For one group of 14 college whose summer catalogues of 10 years ago were available to him, Dr. Lafferty said he found that not one then offered such a course. But six of the 14 have such courses this year, he said.

The steak was presented by Mrs. Richard R. Hein, Jacksonville, Cow Belle member. Looking on are Mrs. Frank Hunt, Medford, another member of the group,, which is the auxiliary to the Jackson County Cattlemen's association, and R. R. Sampson, Medford, Mr. Clough's father-in-law. Mr. Clough's new daughter has been named Donna Marie; her older sister is Janice Lynn. The steak presentation was made last week during a gathering at Maple Grdve park during which a class in outdoor cookery for men was given by Miss Mary Pat Lucy, Jackson County home extension agent. I -' ;Q ' r Summer time means cooking outdoors and cooking outdoors means that the men take over, particularly when it comes to preparing meat. Last week the . Jackson County Extension service sponsored a class in outdor cookery for men, with Miss Mary Pat Lucy, extension agent, as instructor. Here Miss Lucy demonstrates how to use a portable grille and rotisserie and intently listening are (left to right) Don Sheffield. Leo Christensen, Central Point, Frank Crews and Earl Richardson. During the demonstra tion Miss Lucy prepared and cooked salmon in a chicken wire holder; Armenian shish kabobs and ham pineapple shish-kabobs; a beef roast and steak, and chicken. She also cooked corn on the cob in three different ways, and cooked carrots and potatoes in foil. The Extension Service has a pamphlet on outdoor cookery which is available to Jackson county residents. Flavor soft custard with a little California sherry mus catel or white port wpe. Fold in stiffly beaten cream and spoon into dessert dishes lined with lady fingers. Sprinkle the lady fingers lightly with some of the same dessert wine, first, for added flavor. A small spoonful of tart cur rant or mint jelly in the cen ter looks most inviting. SERTA4UX DELUXE. . . Host btautiH most luxurious posturt-typ manna war at this I TofUess...

Dogs Wrap Masters Around Furry Paws, Says Expert By PATRICIA McCORMACK United Press International New York (DPD Bone up on psychology if your dog oc casionally wraps you around his furry paw. So says Robert Bartos, a student of dog psychology and manager of research ken nels for a dog food firm. "Never underestimate the power of a pet, especially if that pet is a dog," said Bartos. "Some dogs know their masters better than the mas ters know the dogs. The dogs, therefore, take advantage of the masters' good nature to get away with all sorts of low down dog tricks." A dog that is psychological--ly in the know, "Bartos said, may feign tiredness when he wants to turn his snoot . up, spurning a walk in the rain or a ride in a convertible. Or, said the expert, he may head for the dog house when you want to show company how well he obeys commands - even though the dog knows perfectly well what is ex pected. Don't Praise "In these cases, praise don't work, for the more you praise, the more the dog will try to pull the wool over your eyes." "Only punishment or some other show of displeasure will make such an onery fellow respond. A sharp reprimand or one or two hard taps on the back with a newspaper will work, wonders. He'll know his master is wise to his bluff ing." For the normally shy dog, however, this approach won't work when you want him to perform. "A soft voice and a. great deal of praise and gentle handling will bring out the best of his shy nature. He may be a people-hater from way back and you've got to convince him that people are nice." Dog Introverts Bartos said the introvert or extrovert type is as common in the dog Vorld as it is in the "people world." Extrovert dogs, he said, re semble the salesman type. They like nothing better than to be on the go all day and prefer to be surrounded by people and doggie friends most of their waking hours. lutely miserable with a lot of people or dogs, and prefers to be left alone to contemplate life. Such a dog, said Bartos, en joys snoozing much of the time, with an occasional walk alone to break the mo notony. .
