The mxt time Junior is pester

him, to tell h;m a story, or to an

time to satisfy his demands, ad
vises I)r. W. H. Thompson, Uni

gist—for you may thereby help
raise his I. Q. (intelligence quo

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. It’s
almost spooky to hear that little

In working with feeble-minded
children, Dr. Thompson has found j
thl: reading process to raise their I
1. 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.,

Capetown,. S Africa, Sept- 1
(ANP)—Recently hopored here by
tho League of Friends of the blind
was one of the Union’s most re
markable men ,23 year old Tad
Chapman who became blind, deaf |
and dumb at the age of four, but
who despite his triple infirmity,
has just graduated from Perkins
institute for the Blind in Massa
chusetts, USA.
Chapman is now on a lecture
tour of South Africa, will speak
in Capetown on Sept. 5 in Wyn_
bert on Sept- 6. Much of his suc
cess is credited to his tutor Miss
Kail, who accompanies him on his
tour. His friends say that of the
many persons in the world burden
ed with this triple affliction, only
one, Miss Helen Keller of the Uni
ted States, has been so highly edu
cated as to he able to speak to the
outside world. Miss Keller has be
come world-famous as the author
ofse'eral books, and for her ef
forts to aid those who have the
same affliction.
Tho method Chapman uses to
communicate with other people is
unique. He rests the fingers of his
right hand lightly on the lower
jaw bone and his thumb covers \
the lips of his subject. Sp sensi_ ;
tivo are his fingers and so light
his tough h.> is able to understand
what people say and also to answer :
rather haltingly, but in an under-;
standable manner.

NAACP ASK U. S. 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.
Colored people report that they
have been questioned closely and
in great detail about their income
and other matters not usually in
quired into by government offi
cials.
In a latter addressed to the
State Department’s passport divi
sion, E. Frederic Morrow, the as
sociation's branch Coordinator,*
said in part:
“Wo are wondering if this is a
general policy of the government,
applied to all citizens who wish
to travel or is it a policy used to
discourage a certain group of
people from booking pasage on
transatlantic liners.’ '
