LEFT-HANDED PUPILS NOT ‘FEEBLE-MINDED,’ lOWA EDUCATOR SAYS
By L nited Press lOWA CITY, la.. Aug. 17. Thousands of school children whose intelligence is relatively high are reported by teachers as feeble-minded because they are left-handed, Dr. Wendell S. Johnson, University of lowa psychology instructor, revealed today after a survey of lowa secondary schools. Such children are ••mirrorreaders,’’ the psychologist explained, and they unconsciously attempt to read words and figures from right to left instead of in the ordinary way, because they are left-handed and have been forced to utilize the right hand by wellmeaning but misinformed parents or teachers. The cure is simply to allow those afflicted to use the left hand naturally.
