There may be parents in South Bend who read
with envy the stories about child prodgies whom
unusual crop has ar peared lately. And they may
wonder with resentment at the ways of nature that
make OF their boys just ordinary youngsters while
endowing a boy in New York with such a mind
that at four and one-hah years he cuts his teeth
big words like psychology" which he spells and
uses Familiarity.
This child has been interviewed and quoted as
saying:
Children all very we'll they do not
understand me- They see l am interested in
teaching them things. and they want
nothing but play. 1 like TO play, but it's diff
ferent sort OF playing II could be called playing

There's purpose in their play. but the Joy OF
Prodgies must be lonely children, because they
not understood by the children OF their size, and
are too small to be the companions OF children Of
their age.
Give US the average, regular boy who plays hard,
just the fun OF It; and works hard when he has
TO; and makes a good showing in school, though
shining; and put good fight though he
never looks for one. The men who count for some
