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.

- Dale Clough. a privaie first class in the
Oregon Stale police force of Medford, last
week received a large steak from Jacksori
County Cow Belles for being the father of
the first child born in Jackson county on
Fathers' day. 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

the lady fingers lightly with
some of the same dessert

A small spoonful of tart cur

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. .
