it sticks in his mind. In my case, the excitement centered around my new tricycle. I rode to school on it every day

go racing at enormous tricycle speeds down the middle of the road and then when we came to a corner, we would

the others without guidance. The “ communicating ” parents were told to spend at least 30 minutes every day talkin to their children, without any background noise, about subjects t 48 their infants might take an interest in.
more than six year later, and after 49 (regularly) checks had been kept of their progress, the children had
IQ tests. Those in the talking group were, on average, a year and three months ahead of the other group. Nine
children had IQs in the gifted category, wh 50 none in the non-talking group was as bright.

who’ ll block out the background noise coming from it. As 53 result, they learn to ignore all noise and this
includes speech. Pediatric and language specialists also disapprove of radio that has much the same ef 54

Montana Born
Leonard Clark
I saw her first through wavering candlelight.
My sister in her cradle one hour old:
Outside, the snow was drifting through the night.
But she lay warm, obvious to the cold.
Her eyes were closed, the half-moist wisps of hair,
A honey harvest on her wrinkled head,
The smile upon her face as if she was elsewhere,
But knew the land she had inherited.
My mother there at peace, her labor done,
Their greyness gone, her cheeks were coralline,
She welcomed me, her wondering first-born son
And placed my sister’-nailedsnewhand in mine.
I looked through the freezing window pane,
The whitening acre bare and stretching far
That nine months hence would heave with welling grain,
And over every distant peak a star.
And she, my winter sister, does she know,
That all this homely countryside is hers.
Where once were warring Sioux and buffalo,
And covered wagons full of travelers?
But I will tell her the Indian tales,
And show her grass-high fields, and sugar beet.
We’ ll ride all day along the western trails,
Missouri River glinting at our feet.
Montana born. she ’ ll sleep beneath these beams,
And learn the simple ways, and say her prayers,
And even now she may see in her dreams
Another boy come climbing up the stairs.
