10 and Harvard at 11?
A future as the most brilliant
scholar of the ages was freely proph
esied for young William Sidle. At
20 he is earning 123 a week by col
lecting statistics and Inscribing them
on the adding machine at which he
sits, hour after hour, in a New York
office.
When the boy’s father held his
small son’s wonderful attainments up
to illustrate what might be done if
’’blind educators’’ were not allowed to
dump rubbish in a child’s mind as if
it were no better than a vacant lot,”
he believed that the best sygtem yet
found had proved its remarkable re
sults, and that all the world would
be following the educational trail
which he had biased.
The boy’s mother never wrote a
brochure against educational methods
of the 20th century. If she ever
wished that her little son was more
like the ’’human boy” Dickens pic
tured, and less of a prodigy, there is
no record of the fact. But somewhere
on the road to one university or an
other, this young student fell out of
step with the great mass of man
kind. When you read that he
"wasn't Interested” in his father’s
funeral last autumn, and that he "re
mains aloof from his mother," you
feel that the brilliant young brain
throve at the expense of the boy's
heart.
There may be chapters of lonell
ness and unrest between the lines of
th# meager reoprd of thoa# collec*
day*. With th# cruelty of youth, th#
older bove may hare mocked the
eeHoti* attainment# of 10-year-old
SMls. Oenlus on a pinnacle 1# no l#«a
unhappy. It would not be strange
If the boy, feeling hie way through a
eucceeelon of new experience rebelled
against the burden of notoriety which
his father'# educational experiments
had fastened upon him.
However that may be, many a
genuine American boy who struggled
with his spelling and multiplication
tables, who epoke atrocious English
where young Sidls had many lan
guages at his tongue's end, and had
ne\er heard of the fourth dlmenalon
at the age when the boy-wonder was
lecturing upon It before Harvard pro
fet»Q£s—many such a redblooded,
human youngster Is now, at 26, far
ahead of the prodigy who must find
life dull at an adding machine, and
is certainly a loser In business, mor
als and practical liveableness.
Here's to the everyday boy, though
his teaching may be faulty. While
the heart beats warmly, the head
may be trusted to learn better whjs
of doing things and human sympa
thies will prove a better guide over
life's rough roads than scientifio
formula*. j

The Old Market Place
There was a time when women
“sought out” the seller of goods with
out solicitation. In those early days
a shoe was a shoe and competition
was not strong.
Today it is different. Competition is
keen; people buy not from need
alone, but desire and vanity as well.
To succeed today the merchant must
induce people to prefer his wares and
service BEFORE they go forth to
shop.
To do this requires constructive ad
vertising copy plus attractive, appeal
ing illustrations m a d e possible
through our clean, "deeper etched”
engravings. Phone AT lantic 1000
and let us put new life into your sales
literature.
