What About
Your Child?

When were YOU first able to
Distinguish a Rhomboid from a
Rhombus?
Read such words as "Xerxcs"
and "Zouze"?
Tell time?
Speak two languages?
Count to Il hundred?
Here's a youngster who can do
all this at two years.
Yet he hasn't been trained by
special teachers or advanced
educators.
His mother did it abby us
her common sense.
YOU can do as much with
YOUR child.

BY ALEXANDER HERMAN.
NEA Service Staff Writer.

Philadelphia, April PA baby
only two years old can read, tell
time, count to u hundred, distinguish
geometric forms, and converse IN
English and German.
He is the youngest child to pass
series of tests conducted by the
University of Pennsylvania for su-
perior children. The psychologist
who examined him says he is one
child in thousands.
! Yet Mrs. John C.. Schwabenland,
the mother, doesn't think her Jack
is baby wonder!
"He's just a healthy little boy"
she says, land that counts more than
anything else.
"We hardly expected him to grow
up this way, for the first -four
months of his life were spent in u
hospital We despaircd of his life.
Then suddenly he began sproutins
out-a regular fcller.'
81 never studieds any books on
bringing up children. l never had
any specialized training in education.
But I've always used my common
sense.
when noticed that the baby
didn't like dolls, didn't force any
on him. And when | saw that he
took to books and picture books, l
let him have them.
~ guess that started him."
On to what?
Mrs. Schwabenland doesn't know
and doesn't care. y
VI have no dream of him growing
up genius" she says, 81 have no
illusions about his becoming great.
1t may all be but a flash in the pan.
HE will grow up us he wants"
Educators, however, see great
future for him if he is properly
trained. But they warn against
forced knowledge.
"We're not forcing him." says his
mother. IF anything, we have to
hold him back.
"He began talking when he was
eight months old, and started walk
ing when he was year."
The boy rode into the room on his
toy auto.
After a formal introduction, he
withdrew to his mothers side.
He didn't seem to care much abou.
speaking about himself. He was
more concerned in asking questions.
who's the man?" he wanted 20
know.
His mother told him, but he WASH I
much impressed-until l showed in
terest in his auto.
A Tightening of loose bolt-and d
friendship was cemented.
Then Jackie began to loosen up.
When asked what came after 10,
he promptly replied:
Eighty
When asked to read, he picked up
a nursery book, and went through
the alphabet like streak. Then ne
read words picked out at random.
Hard ones like "Xerxes" and
"Zouave" were as easy to him as
"cat" and "rat."
He could distinguish a triangle
from rectangle.\ Then his mother
drew a difficult one. One glance,
and, the answer from Jack:
"Thats a rhomboid." And it was.
Then he told time--on the hour,
only, however-spoke some German
with his mother, and grew restless.
As a crowning feat, he went to the
piano and played "Three O'Clock in
the Morning.
By banging three times with mis-
little fist.
Then he mounted his little car and
rode off laughing.
At the university Jack passed the
Wilmer form board test.
"This," explained DR.. Lightner
Wilmer, head of the psychology de-
,artment, ''tests the child's intelli-
ability to solve new prob
