BAD-NAUHEIM, Germany, Feb
2l.-"He was a good boy-a very
good boy, and utterly devoid of
pride, this young Franklin Roose-
welt"
Herr Christian Bonmersheim. 10
year-old schoolmaster now pen
stoned by the government, was
speaking Of the boy of 9 who sat
primly in his classes forty-two years
ago. He recalled the boy and the
old days little shakily, but he had
nothing but praise for the boy, who
soon will become President of the
United States.
The old man displayed, with
trembling pride, a gold pen-case
given him by the departing scholar
which, perhaps as a premonition
CT future greatness in him." he has
treasured all these years.
There was 20 mark $50 gold
piece in it when he gave it to me, -
Herr Mommersheim said. But of
course that went, long ago."
With green efficiency, the keep
ers of the Bad-Nauheim town rec
ords have preserved the books show
ing the Roosevelts' arrival-"Roose-
Velt, James and wife and son"-on
May 20, 1891.
Inc son was Franklin, and the
family had come so that James
Roosevelt could take the cure. "
Bad-Nauheim was one of the most
famous watering places in Europe.
The family lived at the Hotel De
LEurope for a while, and then at
the Villa Britannia, near the ca
Sino.
While his father was taking the
curative waters, Franklin was obedi-
emily in school,
If he behaved himself with ex-
IRENE decorum, it may have been
because Herr Bommersheim, on the
word of one former pupil, coca
sionally belabored the seats of his
students pants"
The schoolmaster recalled the
Franklin Roosevelt of four decades
ago as "a slender boy, but hand
some and we'll built"
He was unusually companionable
toward his schoolmates, and ap-
peared very gifted" Herr BONNER
sheim said
Il was extremely surprised, I rec
ollect, that a young American boy
only 9 years old-should have a
command of the German language
that was nearly as good as that of
his German fellow-pupiIs He had
decided linguistic talent"
