Did you read recently or the little fellow who came to Montreal from Peru and at the age of four years is able to astound the university professors with his knowledge of the arts and music? As I read this article I couldn't help but think to myself, "Poor little fellow. Only four years old and already he's got the mind of an intelligent adult. Before long he'll have all the problems and the heartaches of an adult and he'll never have known what it is to be a child." I guess the reason I think like this is because I have a four-year-old. Maybe I'm secretly jealous that my child isn't a prodigy and yet I sincerely doubt that's my motive. While it might make me sonic kind of a heroine to be the mother of a genius I'm willing to bet a pot of macaroni that my ton is happier as he is and would miss out on a great deal by being An intellectual. I read that story about the little Peruvian who answers questions about history, literature, geography and philosophers without batting an eye and then I watched my very normal son as he struggled to recall where he left his shoes from the night before. I know my son has far less worries but does he have to be this stupid? Mrs. Beattie led in a short prayer and a Minutes silence was observed in memory of members who passed away during 1970.
