The Mothers Part in the Child's Edu-
cation.

- s:T-Ff= LE@
His mother, who from the first Q
operated loyalty with her husband in
this unique educational experiment,
sought successfully to cultivate the
boys imaginative side. While his ia
ther was ~infusing into him the scien-
tific spirit, she was making him. ac-
quainted with the delights Of alice
in Wonderland" Mother Goose" and
other tales and rhymes of childhood.
He listened to them, he read them for
himself with all the intense eagerness
of the ordinary childs and he remem-
bered and interpreted them with rare
facility and with a wealth of original
detail. Before he was three he had
memorized many Of the simpler
verses, and as he grew older he devel-
oped a pronounced talent for elocu-
ton.
Thus, by the time he had reached
the age of six, when it was decided to
send him to school, Williams, James
Sidis was mentally far in advance of
other children of his years.. Nor did
his health appear to- have been im-
paired in the slightest by the process
of intellectual discipline to which he
had been subjected. Physically he
was as he is today-a robust, sturdy
lad, Astounding in energy, fond of
games, ever ready for play. There
was absolutely nothing in disappear
ance to indicate that he differed in
any way from average, boy of six.
Approaching this, Mrs. Sidis, when
she entered him at the nearest gram
mar school, thought she would say
nothing about the preliminary home
education the boy had received. She
merely answered the usual question
about his age, place of residence. etc,
and then left him at the. disposal OF
the school authorities, hi Informed
her that he would be placed IN the
first grade.-H. Addington Bruce in
Success Magazine.

Culture for being physically the
most perfect girl under IL in the

declares 1t her intention to devote
her young life to showing the
girls and boys in the California
grammar schools how to be strong
and healthy. In this work she
will be assisted by her mother,
Mrs. L. Edith Edwards, a special
list in physical culture work in the
public schools.
Unusually pretty, and as mod

wonder of IL years and months.
THE way to be strong and
healthy" she said with smile,
sis just to want to be. There is
mo secret method in what you
must do and what you must eat.
IL you really want to be healthy
you will want to eat the things
that are god for you and take the
exercise that will do you the most
good.

Marguerite is a shining exam
pie of how the physical helps the
mental. Mrs. Edwards did not al
low her daughter to enter gram
mar school until she was s years
old. Yet the girl graduated from
the grammar school in little
over years.

question. 81 eat about anything /

Marguerite is a perfect exam
pie of what physical culture can
accomplish for a weak child" said
Mrs. Edwards. "for she was a tiny,
weak baby, weighing less than 6
pounds at her birth. I began
training her when she was still
an infant. The exercises were of
the simplest kind. / began with
aer tiny hands and toes, and
worked gradually up to the whole
