The admission of eleven-year-old
William James Sidus to Harvard Uni
versity has aroused interest and COM
ment the world over. This boy Is not
freak nor a phenomenon. He is the
result of an experiment by which his
father. Prof Borus sidus, OF Brook
line, Mass. has sought to prove some
Of his theories. Prof Sidus Is a
psychologlst-that is. he is a student
and expert on the human mind.
Sidus had a theory OF 'latent en-
Iergy' of the mind. He believed that
just as the athlete has a second
wind" and just as the body rallies
under severe strain. permitting new
and extraordinary exertion, so the
human brain is capable, II called up
on to do SO, to rise to almost any
task and test. And this not only
without harm. but with actual bene-
fit TO the mind.
Sidus believes that there are two
great faults with our school system
First, education is not begun early
enough: and second. that children are
taught" rather than educated"
To teach" is to cram fact or a
definition or date or the name of a
letter or the word cat into a baby
brain. To educate" is to permit and
encourage the child-brain to learn
automatically by encouraging the rea-
soning powers. This sounds a little
dense, but perhaps we can make il
plain. Sidus took his baby boy in
hand when he was less than two
years old. He started three separate
lines of development. First was
taught a love of play and physical
exertion; then Mrs. Sidus was as
signed the duty of giving the child
"a full normal dose of Mother Goose,
fairy tales and all the babble and
nursery days. The father, then, each
day sought not to teach the child
anything, but to lead him to discover
for himself some fact and the relar
ton of that fact to other facts. 4-oi.
The first course gave the child
sturdy body and made him a lover of
outdoors and an expert in all childish
games. The second course kept him
baby and simulated his magma
ton. The third gave him facility in
handling that most wonderful of all
tools-the reasoning brain.
Never in his life has he been told.
in answer to a question, that he
wouldn't understand" Never has
he been told thing is true because
father says So" Never has he been
given a false or slovenly answer in
reply to his childish questions. Each
time the little mind reached out
whether to ask. How big is the SUM-
or "Why does the kitty have a tail?"
a careful. truthful answer has been
given. Sidus found that the foolish
questions" which his boy asked were
the same that all children asked, but
he saw in them the cropping of the
awakening mind, and sought to give
them direction. purpose and relation.
The result was that the child, not
being held down to the alphabet,
learning to count ten" and a few
vague and unrelated facts about the
things he saw about him. was as cas-
lily interested in history as he was in
Mother Goose. He didn't "learn to
count ten" but he learned by play

explained thoroughly Mr.. Barkley's
connection with the gang by his hur-
ry to make the compromise with the
bonding company lie said Mr.. Bark
ley had compromised with the bond
ing company for $3.50 and had Civ
en- a clear receipt for every amount
due the county. He asked why II
was necessary for Mr. Barley 10 sue
the bonding company for $G.0IG sew
eral weeks ago. when the company
was so anxious to settle last spring.
Mr.. Hazelip pointed out that Mr.
Barley IN his hurry had walked into
a trap. and By his settlement for ST.
$50 had relieved the bonding com
pany from paying any other shortage
Mr.. Barley said be did not remem-
Der the wording OF the receipt, as he
had not seen IL since Il was signed
but he tried TO explain that II would
be impossible for him 20 give a re-
ceipt covering every shortage.
with his supply OF jokes, Mr.
Barley was able to slip over the IS
sues By giving the audience a laugh.
and as Mr.. Hazel'p pointed ont he
was an artful dodger. Mr. Hazelip
said he had the records. and he
would hew TO the line and that the
chips would have 10 fall where they
might. He was not jumping on any
man, but merely taxing the records
Of the county court house to show
the voters the shameful misuse OF
their money.
The Roads Bad.
Mr.. Hazeilp said the condition Of
the roads in that vicinity last night
showed that some work was needed;
for the dirt roads were a mass OF
mud and water He said he would
work the prisoners on the county
roads at no more cost 10 the property
owners than to have them remain
idle in Jail and pick holes In the
walls. He showed how prisoners
guilty OF misdemeanors, instead Of
being tried by. the county Judge. had
been allowed to remain in jail for
months until the circuit court met
and then given trial. and sentenced
to the county jail again.
Financial issues.
Taking up the financial condition
of the county Mr.. Hazelip explained
exactly how much money the county
owed. and how the money had been
spent SO far as the roads showed.
He said it was impossible to find how
much any bridge or public building
cost, and from reports filed by the
road supervisor he said nobody could
get facts about the money expeeded

ers that. If elected. he would install
