i SCHOOL AND YOUR CHILD]

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 ,

! dangerous!
How would Chauncey interpret
IQ to a parent?
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.

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.

SHORT PECAN CROP
Production of pecans in North
Carolina is estimated at 1,350,000
pounds as of October 1 and is
sharply below the forecast of a
month earlier. 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.

“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.

OUR RESPONSE TO GOD ,
International Sunday School
Lesson for October 30, 1960.
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. Too often, as we look
around us, it seems that things
become blurred, take on a tinge

of grey. 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.
