...Canada who use the magazine as a regular part of classroom work. Teachers and stu dents read, discuss, dissect, argue, criticize, challenge-and think. In some instances, as in the case of a St. Louis high school's freshman honors course for pupils with an IQ of 125 to 145, TIME has been required reading. For those schools formally associated with our Education Program, the Education Department supplies a series of quizzes, current-affairs tests, maps, special reports and other teaching aids. Some 100,000 teachers have used the program...

Since we are judging the individual on his merits...
...onetime country estate with a 28-room mansion, the school now draws kids from all kinds of homes-not only the bright children of Bloomfield Hills auto executives but also such "finds" as a nine-year-old Detroit Negro girl with jobless parents and an IQ of 170. Typically, her public school called on the Roepers for help; her neighbors passed the hat for tuition (which runs from $600 to $800 a year). Wealthy parents sponsor many other such kids. A brotherhood of brains unites them all-the measure of which is that only 87 out of 420 bright applicants...
