bAb Cf1AS. ROSS BUN AN AN
Special Correspondence to The Press
EVANSVILLE, Ind, May 21.-At
the age of years and months,
Charles Ross Buchanan, son of a
farmer at St. Francisville, H., reads
books that the majority of children
do not read until they are 10 years
older He has excited the attention
of educators.
To your correspondent, who went
out to the farm to see the boy, this
youthful prodigy read the second
chapter of Matthew from his bible
and extracts from newspapers, and
later discussed the same in a way
/ that indicated he had an under
standing of what he had read.
Asked what kind of reading
he liked best, he replied: 81 have
just finished reading Shakespeare's
AS You Like It, but l like Chas.
Dickens much better"
The little boy went to a bookcase,
and, by standing on his tiptoes, was
able to reach the third shelf, from
which he hauled down David Cop
perfield." He began reading aloud
and made few mistakes, except on
! the longer and more difficult words.
His mother, who was school
teacher at Vincennes, Ind, says
Charles spends about hours each
day in reading to her. He has never
been to school, and seldom plays
| with other children.
Charles leases me so, am COM
PEELED to teach him continually"
said Mrs. Buchanan. Ever since he
was able to talk he has possessed a
craving for learning that has not
only puzzled, but at times has wor-
| ried his father and me. When read
ing the newspapers he must have
details of all the worlds happenings
| and often asks questions. He never
has to be told a second time.
