Momentous Question -- Hos Alex Walked Yet?

We found our first humming- bird viisitor today — -in the bright cf the morning sunshine amid the

I gold- green of the lawn-trees’ leaves. Was \summer near as Ma-ck said There was no doubt of it. We sighed. With what care we must spend out the all too new remaining days of the spring.

This morning in an exiodus which leilt the front mead-ow strangely empty the flock was herded off to join the older lamb- lnins and their ewes at “the oth- er tax-m.” Afternoon then took the farmers away to the crop- ping, James to the sowing.

“I’d like to have all the seed in the ground by this — though it is over half in" James said this evening, having come then to the choring.

able state of affairs had come about in the farming in our time at Alderlea. Due to the beef- raising, the aibility to milk by hand was for the women fast be- coming a lost art.

James who had cupped at Rotbls, nearer the scene of his sowing, now turned to the news of home.

“Did Alex wallk yet"

“Not exactly. He will present- W‘?!

“Where was Maick this evening that he didn’t come to the fie "

“He had his home-twonk to do. And then he went over to the house on the hill to on come program on TV."

“Not much fanming in the like of that” he chuckled.

“A n d Granddaughter’ he queried.

We were in the stable at the time waiting until the calves should end their meal. '

"There-'5 great growth now. Why you can fairly see the grass grow! We're fortunate to have had showers. 1}t’s pretty dry in come of the other provinces, I hear. 0, we may get a turn of it yet, we never know. but so far things are doing well. . . E1- len, you might get a pail and a hit from that cow" he nodded "Just enough for the cats.”

At the first touch, she turned to survey us, then put out a tongue to lick a sleeve. Then re- laxed. We smiled. An unbelieve-

"Oh she was busy." A

Now it was our turn. “V.’h-alt’: the tractor at” we questioned.

“I-iarrowing in the grain I saw- ed." 5

“ ‘When you harrow -what I’ve plowed!‘ " we quoted with I smile.

“Th«at"‘s what the old fellas used to say" James no-dided, herding off last calves to their quarters." And in spite of their -— and our, fears to the contrary, Ellen, suc- ceeding «generations get along very well, don't they!”

A busy day this was which con- tlnued into an over-time.

WE AND OUR NEIGHBORS

The “Gittted Child" is almost as much in the news these days as top politicians or important international e v e n ts. Thus, i-t may be ofvalue to clarify a few points lamiliar -to educators but often puznling to the layman.

Are there detfinnite standards for identifying and selecting the gifted ones? Yes. Outstanding mental ability (as might be sup- posed‘ is the first requirement. But the degree of superiority (compared with the average) is not «uniform. Dr. Terman in his ifnnmus study of gifted chil- dren (begun in 1921) included on- ly those with a minimum I..Q. of 140 as measured by the Stanilord- Binet Test at Iinteliiegence. (The average I.Q. was 150 -— some having as high as 200 I.Q.). But other studies made in the past and now being made admit chil- dren With an I.Q. of 130 -- or cv- on lower.

What other quality besides a superior mental ability marks the child Oniginaility or creative- ness along with high mental, abil- ity in one or more fields of en- deavor (science, invention, writ- ing, music. the arts industry, so- cial relations, etc.) indicate sig- nificant talent or even genius. ENVIRONMENT

Do high intelligence and crea- tive ability in children always re- sult in outstanding achievement? Not necessarily. There is no doubt that an unfavoralble envir-

omnent can water down or entire- ly «stifle talents and creativeness that seem to be largely inborn. Certainly our great interest at present (and I believe for a long time to come) in the ﬁinding and development of the talent will bring personal rfulfillment and na- tional benefits that would have been lost in the unappreciative past. ’ ’ EMOTIONAL FACTORS

Do gifted children, even under the best conditions, always be- come adults? Dr. Tetrman’s study sheds light on this ques- tion. He and his associates were in constant touch with the group of 1500 California boys and girls organized in 1921. '1lwenty- five years later a report was pub- lished of how these gifted ones had turned out. An exceptionally high percentage had graduated from college and five times the college average for men and eight times for women had re- ceived Ph. D.’~s; almost half were in professional fields, many were successful in business and some had already made a name fo. themselves in national ailfairs. But -- many of these gifted chil- dren had iailed in college -‘-'— and there were some who were mak- ing a living as semi-«slailled lath- orers. Undoubtedly there were emotional t a c to r s, [personality weaknesses that had also hetlped shape the destiny of these origin- ally so promising young people.

HOUSEHOLD HINT

If you’re new to housekeeping, you may not be familiar with the advantages of “boiling beef,” or brisket. Actually, it should not be boiled, but simmered — usually with vegetables, and often serv- ed with horseradish sauce.

In buying brisket, look for a piece with a generous layer of fat between two strips of lean.

In tailoring a jacket, coat or dress with shoulder pads, pin them in place before you check the fit of the sleeves. Fullness should be adjusted until the sleeves hang without a wrinkle.

Vacuuming of rugs and carpets has a rractical value as well as aesthetic and sanitary ones. Par- ticles of dirt left on a rug work itheir way down with wear and
