DUT as with genius in mathematics or in music. there IS
some special combination Of related traits in most in
stances that leads to eminence.
Noltaire, famous philosopher. wrote verses almost as
soon as he was able to talk. Coleidgc. famous poet and
author. read a chapter from the Bible when he wa. three
years old. Mozart. among the most eminent Of composers
of music. composed a minuet when he was FIVE years old.
Goethe. greatest Of German minds. when he was eight
years old could speak several Languages and produced lit
erary work better than that produced by most adults.
Garbaldi. courageous Italian leader. saved a woman
from drowning when he was eight years old. and at the
age Of II saved several boys whose boat had capsized.
The famous Austrian composer Haydn beat time for music
at the age of six. and between the ages of six and eigh,
learned in one lesson 10 play well on the drum. Balzac
composed comedies before he was eight years old.
A high degree of intelligence in childhood is, of course,
Of the greatest Importance in achieving greatness, but will
not itself necessarily insure greatness. There are many
other factors required besides intellectual capacity.
We marvel today at the appointment Of a university
president at the age Of 80 years. Nevertheless Milton had
written an ode pronounced by an eminent critic as perhaps
the most beautiful in the English language, before he was

One time Simonides was attending a banquet. He
went out for a moment and while he was gone the roof
fell in. killing everyone present. Simonides was able to
identity everyone at the banquet by remembering their
positions at the table. This called his attention to the
fac, that arrangement is the greatest aid to memory.
Mathematical talent seems TO be an hereditary trait

Der. One of the men named Aaron Rufer. before he
went out to work in the morning. had to measure the
meat and potatoes that his wife prepared for the dinner.
II he left this to her. as she had absolutely. no sense Of
quantity or number. she might cook enough for an infant
or enough for a baseball team. In one line Of this fam
lily the defect has persisted for five generations.
TN MANY instances mathematical prodisies are not
freaks. although many listed by Tredgold in his
essay on Idiot Savants were abandoned mentally.
Among famous geniuses who were mathematical prodigies
in youth were James Watt. one Of the inventors Of tho
steam engine; William Herschel. the astronomer: P. S

record held by a professor named Diamond who had
learned zoo figures in IS minutes. Then a German named
Rucke learned 504 figures in 40 minutes. It appears that
Paula Bersh also remembers figures by indivdualizing them
as objects.
According to Popenoe. there is no such thing as a spc-
cal memory for figures or anything to the specific, capacity
Of that development. He believes the achievement requires
only the capacity that is used in other kinds of learning
with exceptional concentration and lack Of f~atigabiity.
1t has long been recognized that there are many kinds OF
