Now that he is free to read what he wishes does he show more in- terest than the average child of his age in books of science, his- tory, biography, travel, poetry, drama?

TIME SPENT READING It has been estimated that gift- ed children even as young as eight or nine years old spend three times as many hours a week in reading as other chil- dren of the same age. (Love of reading is characteristic of the mentally able at every age). Par- ents are sometimes worried about (1) the effect on the child’s health of too much reading and (2) the effect of this absorption in books on his “normal” relationship with other children and their ‘activi- ties. 8. Frank should he allowed to read (or engage in any other activity) to the extent of injuring his health. But as to the second point, seems as if parents of gifted children and the young people themselves must begin to realize their spée- cial role in the world of today. The ‘‘social adjustment’ of the endowed cannot be the smooth and pleasant sailing of the av- erage individual. However, atti- tudes of young and old are chang- ing fast and soon, I believe. the term “‘egg-head” and ‘‘the brain and whatever has the same mean ing among children, will become terms of acceptance and admira- tion and the gifted will not be afraid to be themselves and their very difference will be cherished. COLLECTING : All children pass through a col- Jecting phase but the mentally superior usually prefer to collect objects of scientific interest-—min- erals, coins, insects. They not only gather these things but ga- ther information about them Sometimes like more ordinary). children they soon get bored, but a larger, related interest takes its place. _ Gifted children perhaps more than others will respond to a sym- pathetic adult, The summer sea- son is thé ideal time for the old- er person to learn the hopes, the fears, the attitudes, the interests and the budding talents of the gifted ones (and the others too), The day by dgy observations, (trained if possible) should be re- corded and can be invaluable in constructing a school program for the gifted one—whatever the 'type—enriched, accelerated, or separate class.
