EW YORK, Jan. 10.-William

III years, could read and write
and at the age Of IL delivered lee

fore Harvard professors, is now "a
and is working for $25 a week as
statistical clerk.
Behind this is a story OF a Gu
rious tragedy which befell a boy
prodigy, son Of the late DR.. Boris
Sidis, international known author
on psychOpathy.
At the age of young Sidis
passed the Harvard Medical School
examinations in anatomy, having al
ready mastered elementary mathe-
mates. At s he could speak Rus
sian, German, French and, with a
working knowledge Of Latin and
Greek, passed the entrance ex-
aminations OF the Massachusetts, In
stitute Of Technology. At 10 he en-
tered Tufts College, and the follow
ing year entered Harvard.
DenOunces Modern Education
BY this time his fame as a boy
prodigy had spread far. His proud
father seized the moment to launch
a brochure against modern systems
of education.
we regard the child's mind as a
vacant lot" he wrote, "and empty
on it all our rubbish and refuse.
Our educators are owl-wise. our
teachers are pedants and all our
ambition is the turning out Of
smooth, well-polished Phinstines. 1t
is a sad case Of the blind leading the
blind"
Young Sidis received his bachelor
of arts degree in Harvard at sixteen
and two years later after further
study in arts and sciences, became
an instructor in mathematics at Rice
Institute, Houston. Texas.
Arrested as Socialist
The following year he was arrest
ed with eleven others In a Socialistic

faulted and then disappeared.

he came into prominence as a sculp-

Exposition. at Rome. 1t has been
truly said that his work displayed

last session passed an act enabling
the city of Baltimore to obtain
loan of this amount for this purpose.
At the November election this loan

BABBITT BROS. OPENING
NEW DRUG DEPARTMENT

Babbitt Bros. Trading Co. is rap
idly getting things into shape for the
opening of their new drug depart
ment, which will take place within
the next few days. Gus Sweetman,
formerly here for short time with
the Breen-Lewis drug store, arrived
yesterday from Jerome and will man
age the new department. Mrs. Sweet
man came with him.
The department will be in the
southwest section of the curio store.
A full stock of drugs and sundries, ci-
gars, patent medicines, etc., will be
carried, and prescription depart
ment installed. This departure is to
get around the state law, recently en-
forced throughout the state, which
specifies that no store not in the
charge of regularly registered drug
gist may sell drugs, patent medicines,
ETC., if located within three miles Of
a drug store. Babbitt Bros acquies-
ced with the ruling of the state board
of pharmacy that the law must be
observed, stopped selling drugs and
medicines for several months, and
now are moving their stock into the
new drug department.

ARIZONA STOCKMAN GETS
HOLD-UP MANS PISTOL

Arch Sanders, a cattIeman, who
lately drove from Kingman to Globe,
tells of a pickup" near Congress
Junction. Sanderson was stopped by
man who advised him he was going
to ride. Sanders produced revolv-

his hands and from the bandits poe
ket took large revolver.
The cowman then loaded the pc
destrian into his car to take him to
Congress, where he dumped him out,
receiving as thanks, the remark, ''It's
a hell of country where a man can't
ask for ride without being held up.''
Sanders said he believes the man in

obtain his machine and valuables. But

CANYON TRAVEL LESS
OWING TO QUARANTINE

GRAND CANYON. - A total of
4,768 people visited the Grand Canyon
national park during the month Of
April, according to statistics just re-
leased by the national park service
of the interior department. Of this
number 3,917 came by rail, and 852
made the trip in 297 automobiles.
Autos were registered from SO states
and the District of Columbia.
Travel figures show a loss of L.
122 visitors compared to April, 1925,
or about 19 per cent. This is due en-
tirely to rigid quarantine measures
on the Arizona California border,
which has practically stopped all east
bound motorists, who form the bulk
of auto travel at this time of the
year.
Quarantine regulations have also
caused loss in the number Of rail
visitors. Under these regulations, the
only place where through east-bound
travellers are allowed to leave the
train is at Grand Canyon. However,
all such passengers must subject
themselves to disinfection upon ar
rival at the above station. Prospec-
tive visitors should not allow this
process to deter them from making
the trip, as it is very simple, taking
only a few minutes Of time and
causing practically no inconvenience.
Approach roads to the park from
the National Old Trails highway at
Maine and Williams are in good con-
dition. There is no snow at the Grand
Canyon, and all of the Canyon drives,
including the Hermit Rim, Grandview,
Desert View and the Indian reserva-
tion trip across the Painted Desert
to the Navajo and Hopi reservations,
are now open to all classes of travel.
All roads are in better condition than
during any previous season, and all Of
the above trips can be made in ease
andscomfort. J. R. EAKIN,

Postmaster Dick Connor reports
business at Flagstaff postofflce for
April this year increased $700 over
April of last year; indication that
population, business and wealth here
are all on the increase. This gain is
especially significant in view of the
fact that owing to the noof and
mouth quarantine against California,
postal business from tourists during
the last week or two in April was
much lighter than usual at this time
of the year.

RABID EDITOR WILL RUN
NEW PAPER INDEPENDENT (?)

The launching of an afternoon DEM
ocratic newspaper within the next
two weeks Is the aim of the incorpor-
ators of the Phoenix Times Publish
ing company, according to an an
nouncement Of the stockholders after
a meeting held in Phoenix recently.
The company was given a permit to
sell stock two weeks ago, when in
corporation was granted by the cor
poration commission.
The newspaper will be published in
the Arizona hotel building, part of
the printing plant of C. T. Rush td
be used. The concern already has two
typesetting machines, press and the
necessary type for issuing the paper,
the directors said.
The Times win be in competition
with the Arizona Gazette, the local
evening field, but considered more of
an Independent than a democratic
paper. The Gazette is open shop,
and it is understood the Phoenix un-
ion printers have been liberal in sub
scribing for stock in the new COM
pany. The editor of The Times will
be H. B. Watson Of Wickenburg own
er of the weekly Miner at that place,
and Mr. Rush will be business mana
ger. 1t is said some of the state of
ficials are aiding the enterprise.
While Governor Hunt is not known to
be financially interested in the pro-
posed newspaper, he does not conceal
the fact that it has his heartiest SYM
pathy and will be given his support.
Fred r. Golfer of Apache county and
Cleve w. Van Dyke of Miami are ex-
pected by the promoters of the COM
pany to take large blocks of stock in
the corporation.
