28 THE VOTAGEUR All of the studies that have heen made of liright children indicate that the percentage of them enjoying good health is just as large as that of mentally normal children. This, in spite of the impressions derived from the comic strip pictures of the large headed, spectacled, weakling, who is the joke of the neighf horhood. There is no reason to helieve that a childls physical condition is helow normal, just lzecause he has a high intellectual capacity. One of the prohlems facing the parents of a gifted child is that of keeping him from the development of egotism, Both parents and teachers should avoid lwoastful discussion of his alwility in his presence and minimize the opportunity for self-conscittusness. by no means practice showing him off and other types of puhlicity. Emphasize his responsihilities. See to it that he has challenging tasks which demand real effort. Too many teachers allow the hright pupil to skip grades and to forge ahead in his school career as rapidly as he can go. This is a dangerous practice. There are too many examples of dithculty in an advanced grade hecause the child has skipped a It vcer grade in which some of the vital suhject matter preparatory to the advanced work was presented. Hahits of laziness can easily take hold of the pupil whose work is too easy for him. Much to he preferred to the practice of skipping grades is the enrichment of his course. Tasks in school should he hard enough to challenge his capacity and develop concentration and application. His school work should not only hold his interest and keep him husy hut additional experiences with music, literature, and other creative arts will make for a well-halanced develop' ment which could never he secured hy a mad rush through the grades and into college. 'N The practice in Pickering College i-s to give special assignments or special responsihilitics to the hoy who can do more than the ordinary amount of work. The masters encourage hohhies, to which the gifted hoy can give much of his time. Various eluh activities are organized in which the bright child takes a prominent part. Opportunities such as these encourage the hoy of great leader- ship capacity to realize the hest of which he is capalwle and to prepare him for useful citizenship. as e r A U .1 argl' pf? ' X. x ,.
