W. H. Thompson, Uni versity of Omaha head psycholo gist—for you may thereby help raise his I. Q. (intelligence quo tient.) Dr. Thompson’s advice is based upon studies of brilliant, normal and sub-normal children made in tho clinical laboratories of the University of Omaha over a per iod o fseveral years. “I have yet to encounter a bril. liant child whose parents did not read extensively to him. Nor have T known any children with read ing difficulties who were read to by their parents.” Tho findings from these studies show ‘'startling results due to the continual stimulation of reading to the child at a verv early age by the mother.” Greatest' effect is produced on the intelligence level 0 fthe child by reading between the ages of two to seven. Tho Omaha psychologist reports tho most marked effect of this early training upon the child’s fa cility in' the language arts: liter ature, history and civics, geogra phy and arithmetic computation. “I know a four-yan-old girl genius who regularly reads the j editorials and the sport page.

Q. as much as nine points and j to help them attain an average I level in language facility. Tho psychologist places no limi tation o ntho kind of material to read to children. “All kinds of stories are good, either imagina tive of factual. Fairy series stim ulate the imagination and afford a notion of abstract thinking. “The child is entitled to the story of his own particular race an dheredity because that provides an historical complement to his biological inheritar.ee. This story undesirable feeling of race super can be told without instilling an iority.” Dr. Thompson says that the “great fund of children’s literature prepared by experts is far super ior to most reading matter on the adult level.” When the annual convention of the American Psychological ass ociation convenes at Columbus, 0., on September 7, Dr. Thompson, head of the department of philo sophy and psychology at the U niversity of Omaha, will read a paper on his research for the group AFRICAN YOUTH, DEAF, DUMB, & BLIND GRAD UATES FROM INSTITUTE Capetown,.

EXPLAIN PASSPORT POLICY New York, Sept. 1 —Following receipt of several complaints from citizens recently that they were subjected to what they felt was unnecessary questioning, when they sought passports for travel abroad, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has arked the United States State Department to explain its passport policy.
