If one asked those eager, anxious parents what they wanted for their children, 70 per cent of them would say "success.". Of the remainder, half are too stupid to look into the future, half too wise to want "success," writes Dr. Elizabeth Slaon Chesser, in the Evening News.
If you happen to be a parent you probably wonder sometimes about the ways and means of these glants of commerce. these great politicians, film idols and beat- seller authors, all the people dash- ing along roads to "success,"
The super-normal child will make good in spite of parental mis takes, but the average, and, above all, the sub-average boy or girl, is infinitely
