Is Your Child Intelligent
.. But on 'Underachiever 1 ?
If your child is intelligent, but not as successful in
school as he should be, he may be what educators call an
“underachiever.” As such, he and the thousands of others
like him have recently been analyzed, surveyed, researched,
probed, and conferred about by teachers, psychologists,
curriculum supervisors, and guidance counselors.
Their purpose? To discover
why people of similar intelli
gence often differ widely in
school achievement. The Na
tional Education Association has
been conducting a special proj
ect on the Academically Tal
ented for the past two years.
These are some of the things
the experts have discovered
about the underachieving child,
and how he gets that way:
• More boys than girls are
underachievers. One researcher
found that twice as many boys

as girls fail to do the school work
of which they are capable.
• Lack of family interest in
j learning is sometimes the rea
-5 son for scholastic underachieve
ment in children of ability. In
lone study, a group of children
I who had failed the first grade
were put into a special room for
the next year. During the period
of investigation, teachers visited
' the home of each child. One of
their observations was the lack
;of any kind of reading material
in many of the homes. In others,
they found these underachieving
children had never visited the
' public library, only three or four
blocks away. The children had
seldom traveled outside of the
city.
• Underachievement some
times results from a child’s
serious emotional disturbances.
• Underachievers are usually
less mature, lack self-confidence
and have fewer real and deep
interests compared with high
achievement youngsters.
• Underachievers have less
drive or determination to achieve

Swiss Native
Develops Noted
Ga. Dairy Herd
H. D. Broder, who moved to
Georgia from Switzerland nine
years ago, has developed a graz
ing system that could well be
placed into operation on almost
any dairy farm in Georgia's
piedmont, says J. R. Johnson,
head of the University of Geor
gia Extension agronomy depart
ment.
The Broder farm in Henry
| County recently was selected as
I first place county winner in the
Georgia Grazing .System and
Feed Production program.
Mr. Broder uses tall fescue
; white clover on his lowland
areas as permanent pasture for
winter and spring grazing.
He plants Coastal Bermuda on
upland fields for summer graz
ing and hay production. He also
plants Gahi-1, Starr and Brown
top millet for summer grazing
and hay.
Mr. Broder believes in follow
ing soil test recommendations to
produce “pay-offs” in feed pro
duction. He applies lime when
ever the soil test shows a need,
and uses 500 to 600 pounds per
acre of a 4-12-12 fertilizer and
30 to 50 pounds per acre of ni
trogen on most pastures.

are working on that problem,
