C Gifted Children To Be Taught In 1958 Summer School Gifted children are now beginning to receive the special attention which most educators consider long overdue. It is evident that children with exceptionally high intelligence quotients could learn faster than the normal school program allows; but it is equally evident that teachers must devote their time to a curricula) best suited to the gn number of pupils. tern Carolina Colleg. Cullowhee is experimenting in this field, and will offi for intellectually gifted children next summer. For several now WCC has conducted a demotion school enrolling children from pre-school through tain areas of high school work, providing enrichment features for normal childi< u . I instruc tion for the handicapped children, and classes for parents and in- service teachers. However, this is the first year that anything has been offered especially for the advanced child. Dr. Carl Dan Killian, head of WCC's education department and guidance clinic, and a qualified psychologist, has long cherished the dream of developing such training. He feels that the projected plans for enrolling advanced children who may go ahead at their own speed is one of the most important steps ever taken by his department. Dr. Killian hastens to explain, however, that the summer class is not intended to "put ahead" or allow children to skip grades in regular school, but is designed to provide opportunities beyond those available in their grades. In a sense, it is a combination school and camp. As a starter, only one class will be offered, from June 9 to July 18. This is for intellectually gifted fifth-graders who can meet the exacting requirements, which are defined as: (1) high in academic aptitude as demonstrated by group and/or individual tests; (2) advanced at least two years educationally as demonstrated by standard achievement tests; (3) interested in and have an aptitude for science, literature, mathematics, or other fields that especially Ifcnd themselves to enrichment; (4) at last average in social and emotional maturity. Each child must be screened by an approved psychologist, preferably one on the staff at WCC. The class for gifted children will be a part of the regular summer demonstration school, with the forenoon devoted to classwork. The afternoon will be given over to special educational, social and recreational activities, such as field trips, nature hikes, swimming, square dancing, and other things in which the children are interested. Douglas Carter of Winston- Salem will serve as instructcr for the class. Mr. Carter has had special training in the area of the gifted child at Columbia University, and for the past two years has taught a class of gifted children in the Winston-Salem city schools. The summer schedule is also an experiment in social development as well as intellectual pursuits. This will be highlighted in the housing arrangements, since most of the children will live in a college dormitory, taking their meals in the college dining room, away from their normal surroundings, Of course, they will have competent, qualified supervisors to aid them in adjusting to the different atmosphere. Parents may not stay with the children, but it is desirable that they confer with Dr. Killian in advance, and again after the term ends. Costs for six weeks, including tuition, room, board, laundry, and medical fees, will amount to $125 per child. However, Dr. Killian said that a child who needs and wants the service could probably obtain some financial help. He explained that in a few instances certain people and civic clubs have indicated an intrst in contributing money to defray part or all of the expences for applicants Concert Chorus To Tour The Western Carolina College ert Choir will make a two- day tour in Henderson County on Monday and Tuesday, May 12 and 13, it was announced by Dr. Richard Renfro, director. The tour will include performances before all the high school students in the county. A concert is scheduled at 10:30 Monday morning at Edneyville High School to entertain students from Edneyville and Dana. At two o'clock Monday afternoon the group will sing at Flat Rock High School. Choir members will spend the night in homes of high school students in Hendersonville Monday night, and will perform at the Hendersonville High School at 9:45 a.m. Tuesday. At two o'clock Tuesday afternoon another concert will be presented at Mills J ;ver High School for the students jf that school, Etowah, and Fletcher. The concert choir is composed Of fifty-five voices. The full College Chorus of more than seventy voices will appear in concert with the Asheville Little Sym phony at William Randolph School at eight o'clock Tiu ning, May 13. The major work to be perfomed on all programs will be the Schubert Mass in G. Other works are: Bach's "Glory to God"; Bright'* "I Hear A Voice A-Praying;" Wagner's "Ballad of Brotherhood"; and selections from "South Pacific" and "My Fair Lady." from their respective towns. Procedures for selecting the children to attend require the cooperation of principals, teachers, and parents. In any given school, the principal and fifth grade teacher will nominate a child who shows promise, and the parent will be notified of this nomination. The parent, again working with the principal and teacher, will have the child screened by a competent psychologist, and the results will be forwarded to Dr. Killian. He, with the help of a committee, will make the final selections. According to Dr. Killian, the outcome of this summer class may well be of considerable value to instructors in the college's education department, who are training teachers for the public schools. Also, some who are alreardy teaching will be able to observe techniques, thereby strengthening their own procedures in working with advanced children in ordinary classroom situations. Over and above this value, however, is the idea that it will serve as incentive to the children themselves. Even though they return to their regular school classes in the fall, it is expected that the summer term will have opened doors of exploration which the children may continue outside their normal cur- riculm, either alone or with the guidance of their own teachers. The Summer Demonstration School at WCC is now in its eleventh year, and offers a wide variety of enrichment features for the normal child. In fact, it was established for this purpose. The curriculm is designed to cement what the child has learned during the regular school year, and to provide certain opportunities not ordinarily possible in the classroom. The faculty is composed of teachers who have proven their outstanding abilities in classrooms all over the state, and a few from other states. In addition to the schol's value for the children, it offers opportunity for a very few mature stu- ents to engage in student teaching, and for larger groups of in-service teachers to earn credit in directed observation. Each summer special instructors are employed to work with handicapped children, serving a threefold purpose. The children who can't keep up with their age groups in school receive instruction at their own level; teachers who work in special education may observe these classes; and instruction is offered for parents of handicapped children enabling them to improve their own efforts in training their children. Dr. Maurice B. Morrill, professor of education, is director of the Summer Demonstration School. Ronald Pinkerton.

The cub was found near Fontana Lake, along with a brother or sister bear, by an unidentified man. He kept the two cubs for a day, then turned them loose. This one decided he didn't want to leave. He was turned over to the wildlife protector, who is taking care of the cub by feeding him cornbread and milk. Danner said the cub will be turned back into the forests when "blackberries get ripe." The cub could not survive alone, now, Danner said. He said the mother bear apparently had died.— Herald Photo.
