CALIFORNLAN S EDUCATION VEEWS Advises Swper-Bright Child to 6o Slow — Los Angeles, Cal, March 9 (P— Scientific education has proved that all children are not equally educa- ble. A very appreciable group in any| community has ability noticeable above that of the rest of the chil- | dren—ability to go much faster if they have only as much to do as the rest or to do more if they pro- ceed through the grades at the same rate as the rest. What shall the achools, fashioned as they are to handle average groups at an average rate, do to properly care for these super-chil- dren? Shall they simply refuse to tackle the problem be se it is both difficult and expe ? The leaders of tomorrow will eome from this group. Shall we not do better by them that they may later return the investment an hundredfold ? Does this greater opportunity mean that they are to go ahcad s fast as they can absorb the regular average course of study? Shall we hurry them along so they may fin- ish the eighth grade of the ele- mentary school at the age of ten or eleven? Do we want them out of | high school at 14 or 15 to face col- lege courses in childhood and bach- | elor's degrees at an age more ap- | propriate to the beginning of a col- | lege course? Many educators believe that such & hurried type of education h: s perils both for the child andf/for society. Such young children ma: easily absorb what books and teach- ers have to offer, but at those points where subjects of a broad gengral sort are to be taken they gain no real basic understanding of meaning of the work. Furthermore, throughout their courses they will associate with students much older than them- selves. Real comradeship seldom deve They often acquire thus a habit of | always be | social is ion that may a handicap to their greatest useful- ness. Such pupils, too, have a tendency | to become academic because they have had time to do little but study books. Often after a brilliant high | school and college career in books they disappoint all promise of their school days and are not heard of again. What can we do for these chil-| dren? Let us induce them to make | haste slowly and explore a bit] broadly. Let them participate in the rich offerings of the schools in art, music and manual activities in shops and laboratories. Induce them to become as human as pos- sible with a breadth of appreciation | -and outlook that will make real Jeaders in school and attorwurdx STRIKE RELIEF IN COAL FIELD ZONE Retivities Rectll,Those of the War Days Columbus, O., March 8 (UP)— Memories of war days are brought to mind by repogts issuing from the | Hocking Valley Fegion on the work of public health nurses sent from | the state department of health for relief work among the families of fdle union miners. Not unlike a eitation or bravery the P lops under such circumstances. | or meritorious service in war is the tribute Helen XKeinzle and Hanna by | the Ohio National Guard. A story of heroism, a nzm[ against odds, an up-hill struggle to accomplish salvation among the poverty stricken little groups of frightened women and children is revealed in excerpts from Captain Schuler's report to Adjutant Gen- | eral Frank D. Henderson. “Pounding over the roads — they may be called roads—of th Hocking Valley in their rattle trap flivvers, averaging at the best little | more than 50 miles a day, Miss| Hanna and Miss Kcinzle pursue | their duties of aiding in any way[ those familics which they may en- | | counter. | “Fifty miles on paper; a mere| trifle, one would say. But 50 miles of Hocking Valley bumps, ruts and mud, is distinctly something else ! again. “In dry weather, a series of rork- studded ruts—in wet weather, hub deep, sticky, clin muck That is one of the obstacles presented to | these heroines of modern times. | “There is real peril on some of| |these trails, winding in and out; up | and down the steep hills, There 2 slideout on the road would not | only ditch the car, but would mean | |almost certain serious injury to the |occupants. “Into the miserably small shacks which dot the for miles around, these into famines und dise: rls go; lessly. “Entire families suffering from the {pangs of lunger. A baby clghtee months old who has ncver walked | |for lack of wholesome food. A | |mother of nine children slowly dying trom malnutrition, and watching her brood going to the same fate.” Another section of Schuler's re- 1port revealed the hardships connect- ed with getting food and clothing to the stricker familie “Out to the homes, over roads where- pack horses are necessary to vrampon food and supplies; back to chool center to report a case supplies must be carried; to headquarters to arrange for tte for an expectant mother; n to the hillside where the facil- ities are so urgently needed; return |to the food center to inform author- | ities of a new arrival—is it any won- der that when night comes these |girls are in the final stages of tigue? Yet, even then their day's work may not be done.
