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

home economist for the Gro
