Two new divisions already have been opened and several others are in the opening process. Regardless of tight money, ft appears that 1057 will be a banner building year in Decatur which can be answered by just one phrase, “faith in Decatur.” ■ i - o ■ Early Monday morning, you could have counted at one time, five delivery trucks, one local and four from out of the city, parked on yellow lines and three of these were unattended with motors running. Who are these people who can laugh at the statutes. merely for their own convenience? How long are we going to tolerate the flagrant violations? Will it be until there is a serious accident?

tensions in a worried world on i many occasions. May baseball i ever be part of America’s life, r ' 0 o With the rumored sale of three ( or four pro basketball teams, the [ owners apparently have a battle , on their hands to keep that game from becoming a “show”, like professional wrestling. The frani chise holders are anticipating moves to bigger centers, where there is a bigger market. For a good many yean now many fans have wondered at the winning at home system and when the operators look for bigger ponds with more fish, it’s time to take a look at operations of the game. At the best it never has matched high school and college basketball for interest and of course it is a far cry in interest from professional baseball. o o—— Conservative estimates give the present population of Decatur as more than 8,500 people. This ’ makes us a splendid small city and we’ll challenge our tradingsections with those of any city twice as large. This is because our merchants are alert of the times and always anxious to build a "better Decatur”. We have a wonderful Decatur. Let’s all continue to make it better. As merchants, we can make a better j Decatur by always providing the I b«.,t merchandise ala fair prl«. As individuals, we can all help build a better Decatur by trading in Decatur. You won’t find better bargains and better merchandise in any trading area within a hundred mile radius. Watch your savings grow by shopping in Decatur. o——o We’ll soon be going head-long into March. There’ll be some touches of spring mixed with some remnants of winter. There’ll be lots of wind of the Mother Na- » » tore variety — not campaign promises. Before too long, the first quarter of 1957 will be history. Business in general is better than anticipated, but it is r down compared with 1956 in some lines. In spite of all the threats 5 of Communism and aggression,, and in spite of high taxes and a solicitation for funds for every * kind of a cause, this is a great nation and where would you rath1 er live than in the United States. * We’ll take it right here in Decatur the year around, even if we have to get clear out of our car » 5 Jo see if a train is coming. -... ——,—

Exceptional Educational By LOUIS CASSELS United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON (UP)-A brilliant child often makes lower grades in school than one of average intelligence, an educator said today. Mrs. Agnes Inglis O'Neil, a nationally known authority on the education of gifted children, said an I.Q. of 130 can be a “serious handicap" in a classroom where a busy teacher is aiming lessons at the great majority of students with I.Q.s ranging from 100 to 110. If one of the rare 1 prodigies with an I.Q. close to 150 lands in such a classroom, she said in an interview, “he is likely to be branded a disciplinary problem and a slow learner. 1 ' Mrs. O’Neil is director of Georgetown Day School, a private institution here that offers special training for unusually bright students. Her files are packed with case histories of children who once were regarded as lazy or backward, but who turned out to be far above average in ability. Three Main Reasons A typical case was the daughter of a high government official of the New Deal era. Her famous parents were horrified when her first grade teacher pronounced the verdict that “this child will never learn to read.” By the end of one year at Georgetown, the little girl was reading fifth grade books. Last year, she got her M.A. degree from the University of Chicago, at the age of 17. Mrs. O’Neil said there are three main reasons why a brilliant child is apt to have a lot of trouble in the ordinary school: 1. “He’s bored. The challenge is So inadequate to his real ability that he won’t even do the ‘easy’ work he is given.” 2. Frustration of his “instinctive need to grow” makes him tense and nervous. Unable to release his pent-up steam in intellectual channels, he takes it out in classroom misconduct. His reputation as a “bad” child is often heightened by the fact that "he is scornful of the teacher, and she knows it.” 3. The brilliant child is usually “rejected” by fellow students who sense that he is "different.” Sometimes he is also rejected by teachers and parents who unconsciously are “jealous” of him. This hostile atmosphere puts the child on the defensive, makes it difficult for him to adjust to school discipline or to display his knowledge in the classroom. Have Child Tested How can parents detect exceptional intelligence in a child, and protect him from unfortunate consequences? |

Children Problem “Most experts say that gifted children walk early and talk early, but this is not an altogether reliable sign,” said Mrs. O'Neil. “Some of the most brilliant children I’ve known didn’t say a word until they were 2 years old. Then they began talking in sentences.” Other pre-school symptoms of a high intelligence level are a large vocabulary, unusually good memory, a longer “attention span” than other children of the same age, strong curiosity, persistence in tackling a difficult task, and displays of "intuition.” “If you see these early hallmarks of genius in your child,” said Mrs. O’Neil, “remember that parental pride may be coloring your judgment. Have him tested by a good psychological clinic. Most cities and virtually all universities have them. The test will cost you about $25.” Next: Children at the ether end of the I.Q scale.
