UNUSUAL PRECOCITY FOR
A YOUNGSTER OF THREE

Spelling hundred difficult words,
naming the cabinet members, many
of the we'll known Senators and other
dominant political figures is but
routine matter for three year old
Jackie Leisman, of Woodlawn, Bal
timore County.
Yesterday morning Jackie put on
an exhibition for the public at down.
town department store and everyone
was convinced that he is genius.
The youngster can step up to the
telephone and entertain in the most
pleasing manner, spelling such words
as "septic" and "ratio,", etc. In fact,
one just hates to hang up on Jackie
as he holds you spellbound with his
uncanny mentality.
Young Leisman appears normal in
every way as he likes to pull table
cloths, rattle door knobs, and other
mischievious things that children three
years old just love to do.
