Dr. Dunlop Speaks Dr. Betty Lou Dunlop of the Southern Oregon college faculty, was speaker, talking on "How to Recognize a Gift ed Child." Dr. Dunlop said that too often the gifted child is considered "strange" and anti-social and is not given the education and attention which his unusual ability de serves. She said that the un usually intelligent and gifted child may be "way out there" but that he or she is also us ually stronger physically than the average, has a ' wider range of interest, retains a greater amount of knowledge a long time, can generalize and form concepts from this knowledge, likes to play and is less nervous than the aver age child. He is imaginative, persistent, discriminating, re sourceful, original and crea tive, she added. These scientific conclu sions are in contrast to what many believe io be true, Dr. Dunlop declared. The gifted child needs to be recognized early by parents and teachers to receive spe cial guidance, she said. The particularly gifted person may become maladjusted and a snob if early guidance is not of the right sort, she said. Entertainment was provid ed by Mrs. Ivan C. Burton, who sang a group of three songs. Mrs. Effie Kurtz was her accompanist. Among other guests at the event were Mrs. Mary Van- derlin, supervisor of nurses at Rogue Valley.
