KTCHENER, Ont. (CP)--Ele- anor McRoberts, director of jun- ior advancement training for pub- lic schools in London, Ont., says she is opposed to segregating the gifted children from the average. similarly high intellectual calibre provides stimulus and produces better academic results, she con- cedes, but it tends to steer gifted children off the track of social adjustment, "We should cut out this 'isn't she cute' and the--~what a strange boy' approach with a child of above - average intelligence,' she advises. "Gifted children are"hu- man beings and they want to be treated as such." She says that while special classes might get the cream of the crop -- children with intelli gence quotients of up to 1 adults should not expect brilliant results of them. "Let's get back to treating them as people," she sald. "we have to create the kind of atmosphere that will help a student be him- self. ne way to do it is to treat bright children as human beings, This day's aspects will be ex- cellent for both business and household affairs, so get an early start and forge ahead with enthu- siasm--even if vou have to sacrif- ice some of your leisure hours.

Since then I've always used the name Margaret, and it appears on all my documentary records, even on my husband's army papers. . . . SENSE OF SIN Only recently have I begun to realize the seriousness of what I've done. I am completely ashamed and wonder, also, if this might be considered a criminal offence? Equally important, I feel, that I have sinned against God with my lying and deceit; and have asked His forgiveness, but nevertheless feel that I must do more to atone for my lie. My parents know that I sign cheques, etc., with the name Mar- garet, but they've never men- tioned it, either because they, don't want to embarrass me, or| because they consider it a silly ssing whim. Also my husband! mows that I use an assumed name; but the few times I've tried to discuss the subject, he dis- misses it lightly. | I think he secretly fears that if| this falsity is brought into the| oper it will be entered on his| army record and may hurt his ca-| reer as an officer. . . .

CONFER WITH EXPERTS My advice is: 1. Have the Legal Aid Society in your town give an opinion as to whether you need to correct the documentary rec- ord in any way. An amendment to the birth record may be in order; and if so, that is a simple inex- pensive matter, easily handled. 2. Get psychiatric help in dis- posing of your acute anxiety feel- ings, which are rooted in a tangle of worries you haven't mentioned. You are coasting towards emo- tional depression, I think, quite unaware of the pattern and or- isit o this--the real problem.

FAMILY HEALTH Regular medical checkups, even during good health, will allow the doctor to keep records of the patient's family and medi- cal history, as in aid to diag- nosis and treatment in case of illness. Very small children do not ap- preciate expensive and complicat- ed toys. Usually, they are much) happier with such simple play- things as an old saucepan and some sand, or small boxes and 26 KING ST. E. Watch For Our Grand Opening Early In November P.E.l.

P.: It really doesn't make sense to torture yourself about having changed your name, without anybody's leave, from Maggie to Margaret when you were an anxious, self-conscious 17, clutching at straws of dignity. I am positive you've committed no crime on that score, against God, or law, or yourself, or who- ever -- because actually, either name is a synonym for the other. ! In using the formal translation of your name, to give it more class, to your way of thinking, there was no 'more deceit involved, than would be the case in tinting one's hair, or using cosmetics, to im- prove one's looks (theoretically) before facing society. Some people might prefer the name Maggie to Margaret, liking the intimate, affectionate sound of it. But if you feel better being called Margaret, there's no reason why you shouldn't use the more stately moniker. Hornsby Photographs FOR CHRISTMAS HORNSBY STUDIO RA 5.0151 3 SIMCOE §.
