Men of Great Genius
Not Firstborn Children

1t has often been said that first-born
children are the cleverest in the fam
lily, but the careful investigation Of
the Society of Bavarian School Teach
ers upsets this theory. An inquiry
into "a cases Of prominent personali-
ties Of the artistic and literary world
showed that among them were only
ten first-born children. The vast ma
jority were late-born offspring. Feni-
more Cooper was the eleventh of
twelve children; Honore Balzac, the
youngest son Of his parents; Napoleon
Bonaparte, the eighth child; Benjamin
Franklin, the youngest of seventeen;
Rembrandt, the fifth of six children |;
Richard Wagner and Wolfgang Anna
deus Mozart were the last of seven |;
Robert Schuman, the fifth, and Franz
Schubert, the thirteenth Of fourteen
children. The investigations thus show
that a rather advanced age Of the par
ents seems to be more favorable to
the production Of great personalities.
