i SCHOOL AND YOUR CHILD] | By John Coray, Appalachian Slate Teacheae firlltflt Can Parent* Be Trusted , With Knowing Child's IQ? i Should parents know their children’s IQ’s? Up to now, school otficials have generally voiced a ; firm “No,” classifying as top-secret the scores your child Wide on school-administered intelligence tests. Only teachers, and some times, employers, got to see these magic numbers. Yet the use made of IQ ! s by schools, colleges, employers, and the military shapes to a tons id- j erable extent the lives' of mil lions—often without the individ ual even knowing about it. IQ can be a factor in deter mining whether one is placed in j a slow, average, or fast class at school, where ability grouping is the coming thing; which college he attends; whether he’s admit-[ ted to college at all; what as-j signment he’s given in the* Army; whether he’s officer ma-, terial; whether a company hires him. If a single figure can wield such an influence on one’s fu-; ture, why shouldn’t the f person 1 or his parents, whose lives are, most affected by it, be told the 1 IQ? i Schoolmen, Who know their 1 trade, have given some good rea sons. Charles F. Carroll, North Car-! olina’s Superintendent of Public l Instruction at Raleigh, lists these i two: “When the IQ’s of children be come a source of ‘bridge table’ | gossip. | “When the information will be. used to compare one Bkildt with another.” I Another big reason ia the has thought oLJQ [as a divine number signifying one’s exact intelligence. That ifs an all-revealing fortune-teller. This impression which is completely, false—has turned IQ into an explosive status sym bol, capable of maiming one psy chologically for life, v A mother and father, discover ing that Junior’s IQ is below average (100 or under), for in stance, may feel terribly let down. They may believe the child doomed to faiju;£ in any endeavor requiring and intelligence. Too often, the child detects this disappointment and ’ develops feelings of"’inm-iority which can haunt him indefinite ly. On the other hand, parents of a high IQ’er may consider that their offspring carries in his brain a guaranteed ticketrfo suc cess in life. And the higher the IQ the greater the success he’s born to be. This apparent public ignorance about IQ has triggered a Change in thinking among educators. Many now advocate or practice revealing to parents their chil dren’s IQ—-but only with -a-clear accompanying explanation of what IQ really means. Henry Chauncey is. president of the Educational Testing Ser vice, Princeton, N. J., a non profit organization established by professional groups in 1947. It has administered tests to mil lions of students throughout America. Chauncey suggest; that school authorities, as aT'rh&tter of policy, should tell monqs and dads how Junior scored 'on his : tests. Even when the * parents don’t ask. This goes for both : educated and uneducated par- 1 ents, he adds. But like other educators, Chauncey insists on a definite explanation. The naked IQ number without interpretation is , W The F Christian 1 I Science ] L Monitor J Hub*. j^x9| Good Reading for the Whole Family •News - •Facts j, • Family Features , The Christian Science Monitor .1 \ On* Norway St., Boston 15, Mam, H Send your newspaper for the ItM J*' cheeked.

First, he’d puncture the popu lar notion that intelligence tests measure inborn ability, the way bathroom scales record one’s weight. This spares bruising the parents’ ego. IQ measures a person’s “de veloped ability,” says the test ing expert. This ability stems from a combination of what a person inherited and his environ mental influences, including his [training at home and at school. Even the type of school one attends can alter the IQ, Chaun cey thinks. “I feel rather sure that students who have gone 'through a really first-rate school will have higher scores on an intelligence test, or scholastic aptitude test, than they would [have had if they had coasted in [a school without standards.” * Chauncey prefers the term I “academic aptitude” rather than “intelligence” for these tests. I ‘‘No test measures the pure in herited element,” he emphasizes, i “Whatever we are measuring has ' to come through what the per j son has learned.” , ' All of this means that an IQ I figure gives some indication of > how well one can use reading, I writing, and numbers in work | ing out problems and doing i things. Therefore, it’s important * that parents as well as teachers know the child’s IQ. j After all, mother and father 'make the long haul with Jun ior, whereas a teacher is with I him for only a year or two. * Knowledge of his developed ! ability equips them to guide I him into the future more ably. This way, says Carolina’s Su perintendent of Instruction Chas. Carroll, parents can better help Junior choose realistic goals— what college to attend, for in stance, or what vocation he’d do best in. Also, adds Dr. Carroll, it may prevent some parents from ex pecting too much of their child and pushing him to the point of emotional disturbance. Still, despite a low IQ, one with tremendous ambition and motivation can succeed admira bly where it would have been thought impossible, judging from IQ only. ] So don’t throw a complete bar rier across a goal set by Junior —even if you’re almost sure he lacks the necessary ability. Some individuals, like Jack London, are “late bloomers.” (London educated himself after reaching manhood and went on to be iome a great adventure writer.) But inform a low IQ child of the tough road ahead.

' j God’s mercy will be empha-, sized in the scriptural selections from Psalms (130:7, 8): “Let Israel hope in the Lord: for with i the Lord there is mercy, and t with him is plenteous redemp-1 tion. And he shall redeem Israel j from all his iniquities.” The following is one of the passages to be read from “Sci ence and Health with Key to the Scriptures” by Mary Baker Eddy (265:5): “Mortals must gravitate Godward, their affec tions and aims grow spiritual— they must near the broader in terpretations of being, and gain some proper sense of the infi nite —in order that sin and mor tality may be put off.” CARD OF THANKS I wish to take this opportuni ty to thank the doctors and nurses of Albemarle Hospital for every service and deed of ■kindness shown me during my recent illness. Also to thank my many friends, neighbors and relatives for the lovely cards, gifts, flowers, food, visits and I for the many prayers offered while I was a patient in the hospital and since my return home. And I would like to say thanks also to the many dif ferent church organizations that remembered me. May God add his richest blessings upon each of you. p Mrs. C. T.

Many producers who had anticipated unusually good yields of pecans now re port complete or near complete failure caused by Hurricane Donna. The hurricanes of Sep tember 11 struck before any of the pecans had matured; there-1 fore, no salvage is possible. Service to a just cause re wards the worker with more real happiness and satisfaction than any other venture of life. —Carrie Chapman Catt. Wisdom ctflkeClfieA— “Laws should be like clothes. They should be made to fit the people they are meant to serve.” Each service conducted by this organization is a fitting tribute, reflecting the rever ent spirit oi the occasion.

Memory Selection; Do not be] conformed to this world but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that you may prove what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and per fect.” , (Romans 12:2). Lqsson Text: Psalm 1; Romans 12. The purpose of our study to day is to consider the dangers of conformity to this world, and to discuss how we can be God directed. As we study our Biblical pas sages for today, we realize the theme of the first Psalm could be described as follows: “Be hold, I have set before you life and death. Therefore choose life.” The first Psalm draws the line clearly, in complete con trast, between the good and the evil. The good prospers, the wages of sin is death. As we go about our daily lives, however, we realize that a parallel of black and white cannot be drawn. It is not that simple.

We see the sharp busi nessman, whose ethics are open to question, prosper; we see “good” people suffer because somebody came along and took advantage of their kindness. How puzzling it is! And yet, it is but a product of the con formity of living which presses in on us from all sides. These are the days of the “organiza tion man,” the man who “be longs” to the corporation, shrug ging off his deeper convictions when it seems expedient to do so. But those who conform to this world sin against them selves. They corrupt and de stroy their own souls. Con formity can, all too often, be a betrayal of the trust placed in us by others. Trust in another person's integrity is important in many fields, many phases of living. It' is important in sports, ■in business, in government, in marriage. The most expensive loss in any business enterprise is the loss of confidence in our I own or another’s integrity. The lifeline of government, especial ly that of a democracy, is the conduct of public officials which supports confidence in their in | tegrity. A government whose j officials can be bought by the | highest bidder soon becomes a | blend of anarchy and tyranny. Continued on Page 6—Section 3 WHITE OAK CHAPEL BAPTIST REV. R. M. McNAIR.
