TO RAISE INFANT WONDERS
Father of 49, Year old Har-
ward Prodigy Declares Our
System Is Wrong
(Hy Associated Press.)

BOSTON, MASS, June 26-How to
raise a race of child prodigies ready for
college at IL is explained by Professor
Boris Sidis. of Harvard college, in an
essay he has just written. Prof. Sidis'
son, now - has just completed his sec
ond year at Harvard.
"As long os the home is dominated by
commercial ideals, the school will turn
out mediocre tradesmen.' says Profess
or Sids What wonder that the chill
dren of 10 and IL can hardly read and
write, are little brutes and waste away
their precious life in the close. dusty,
overheated rooms of the early grades of
some elementary school.
There is a period in the child's life
between the ages OF five and ten, when
he is very inquisftive. Everything should
be open to the child's searching inter-
est The spirit of inquiry. The genius
of the man is more sacred than any alb
stract belief. Dogma and creed. 1 appeal
to you, fathers and mothers, and to you,
liberal-minded reader, asking you to turn
your attention to the education Of your
children, TO the training of the young
generation of future citizens 1 do not
appeal to our official educators, to the
clerks of our teaching shops, for they
are beyond all hope,
The present school system squanders
the resources of the country and wastes
the energies and the lives of our chill
dren. The school system should be
abolished and with 1T should go the pres
ent psychologizing educator, the school
master and the school marin.
Being in a barbaric state, we are
afraid of thought. We are under the err
roneous belief that thinking and study
causes nervousness and mental disor-
ders. We do not take care to develop a
love of knowledge in our children's early
life, for fear of brain injure. and then
when 1t is too late to acquire the inter-
est, we force them to study and we
cram them and feed them and stuff them
like geese. What you often get is fatty
degeneration of the mental liver"

ARRIVING

Standing Committees to Be
Appointed EarIy-BuSi-
ness to Start Sooner

From all parts of the state, mem
ers of the 1s11-12 legislature, which
viii convene on Wednesday,, are ar
irving in Atlanta. Hotel Hobbies are
beginning to throng with them and to
echo with discussions of what the legis-
lature will do.
Members are arriving almost a day
earlier this year in order to get to-
gether and talk over the senatorial sit
uation. Usually they remain at home
during Sunday, but this custom has
been largely foregone this year be-
cause of everybody's desire to get a
line on the election of a senator.
The early arrival of members will
be followed by an early beginning of
serious work by both houses of the
Legislature. This will be made possible
by a prompter appointment than usual
of standing committees. John n.
Holder, who is expected to be re-elect-
ed speaker of the house, viii announce
The standing committees of the house
by Saturday, the fourth day of the
session, though usually ten days are
needed to make up these committees.
John NJ. Slaton. who Will be reelected
president of the senate, Will announce
the standing committees for that body
at the same time.
II both succeed in doing this they
will establish a new record for the
prompt appointment of committees, and
ously to work a week sooner than
usual.
The legislature will meet at 10
o'clock Wednesday morning. Both
houses will be organized and Cover
nor Brown will be notified that they
are ready for business. He is expect
ed to transmit his message to both
houses Wednesday morning. Organiza-
ton and reading of the governors mes
sage will make up the business of the
first day. During the next two days
the legislature will be consumed with
the introduction of bills.
Governor-Elect Hoke Smith viii be
inaugurated on Saturday. In accord
ance with a custom that has been de-
parted from only cnce in recent years.
the Inauguration will take place in the
hall of the house of representatives.
The exception to the custom was at
the first inauguration of the governor
elect which was held out of doors on
the capitol grounds.
With the arrival of legislators, bills
that will be introduced to the legisla-
ture are becoming known.
Representative Adams. Of Hall, win
renew his efforts TO have the dog tax
law repealed.
Several bills will provide for the Of
fee of lieutenant governor.
Representative Hall, of Bib. Will
again present bill providing for a
state auditor.
Representative Hooper Alexander, of
DeKalb, probably will introduce a bill
on the first dayq of the session, amend
ing the constitution in such a way
as to require that all corporations pay
their taxes TO the comptroller genera
by September LIST.

Here is a strong and dependable man,
friend to be trusted in the deep sense of
the word; a foeman who fights out in the
open. who fights with grim and deter

but when loses 1t only makes him fight
the harder the next time.
He was born in Texas on z. plantation
and his earlier days were spent in the
hard and grinding toll of most farmer
boys But he began to feel the stir of
ambition early in life He attended coll
lege at DeSoto, Rheinart, Ravenna. At
the afe Of 26 he was married to Miss Iva
L. Gilpin. In December, 1902, he Joined
the Farmers union and was elected presi-
dent of the local union.
HE was present at the organization of
the Hopkins county union, the first to be
organized. In February he began work
as an organizer. and since then all his
splendid energies and abilities have been
devoted to building up the union. He
was the first national organizer elected
by the board of ten. In November, 1903,
he was sent to Georgia as an organizer,
and here he showed his dauntless fght-
ing qualities
"He organized the first union in Geor-
gia on December IA, 1908. While he was
working for the union in NTexas. he with
the lamented Newt Gresham, founder of
the organization. started the first union
paper The Password. When he came
to Georgia he met with strong opposition.
That aroused his lighting blood and he
gave up his place with the national or

entire time to Georgia, becoming state
organizer.
''In September, 1904. he established the
Farmers Union News and fought
through it's columns. In the spring of
of 1906, the state union of Georgia was
organized at Thomastan. and he was
elected secretary-treasurer. Shortly AFT
erward o. P. Pyle, OF Texas, resigned
as national president. and the national
board of directors elected Duckworth to
succeed him. He served until the national
meeting in 1906, when he declined to al
low his name used for reelection, ana
Charles S. Barrett was chosen.
Barrett resigned as Georgia president
and Mr. Duckworth succeeded him. Mr..
Duckworth was reelected in Atlanta in
July, 1907, and again at Macon in 1908.
In october of that year he resigned. He
was twice elected chairman of the ma
