This Meeker tape" talk about cows

We can recall one case where a
farmer sold some of his surplus

raise funds to meet his' obligations,.
The sale amounted .to some $1,800

STRATFORD'S HOUR

There would be sufficient in such

CHILD PRODIGIES
During the past couple of months
It seems' that en overabundance .of
child prodigies bane appeared, ac-
cording to the reports of the press',
children who can spell words theft
would bowl, the ordinary adult over,
who can calculate figures that weteld
stagger the average matheengtieal
person, or one who can detect: notes
played on an inetrulneet in another
room without one faidaire, and what
not—all of them geniuses along
their own lines. Mental tests show
t1l5t they are many, many percent-
ages' aver the average child' of the
sante age, and possess mentalities
of those pelIlaps ,twice as old. Pic-
tures of them appear, vivid descriP•
tient of their abilities are recounted,
and one marvels at their precocious=
nese.
An editorial IL the at, Thomas
Tienes-Journal led 115 to think a bit
more conceinfng such children, It
told the ease ot a boy of ten ot
Oheseer, Pa., who was ready for
High School but owing to his age
would not be admitted. The sug-
geubion was made that instead of
telling !the world about it the school
authorities of Chester sheu1tt con-
suit the boy's teacher to Reel out
what he had missed in the prlmarY
slehools, for It is certain that some
weakness lull) crop 111) in his early
1ns:n'ucition thd will turn him out
to be a very ordinary mal.

With our educational 8ystt:m1s tm'

fore any advancement is made, A

save hint a year or two later on that
would be of ineetheable value. It is
only fair to the child and the teach-
er to whom be passes. Both are
struggling under a handicap that is
most diefleul,t if nog impossible to
overcome and the child drags along
year atter year; a diedike for school
le created 'and when age ',milts he
drops hes educational endeavors and
goes out into the world to gest along
as lest he may,
This new system of education for
the plenary' 5011001e seems to be one
that pays attention to examinations
and more to the development of the
child, the groundwork es extensively
laic) and every effort pat fella eo
create an educational background
but until the curriculrtm of higher
grades are fitted into the plan of
tire new public school programs one
cannot reedlly judge the •oultcome.
We. de know, however, that exam,
inail:ns do ot nor never did deter-
mine the extent of one's education.
With a stable education in the
early years of his school idfo think
whalt the (.lever child will really
achieve when he advances into the
big seboot, With h:is' training regular
and complete as each year passed,
he wit )display outstanding abiidtdes
in his' later studies and in after life.
There isl this very senslbe consola-
tion to the parents' who 'think that
their children should be progres-
sing, probably, at a taster speed
