BOY “GENIUS IS DECLARED ONE
MOST BRILLIANT.
NEW YORK.—Announcement has
been made by the College of the
City of New York of the discovery
of a six-year-old “genius,” describ
ed as being one of the most brilliant
children ever to be examined by
American psychologists.
The boy, who will be referred to
as “K” is the son of the proprie
tors of a grocery store neither one of
whom is college trained.
“K” talked fluently at the age of
one and one-half and could recite
the alphabet foiward and backward
at the age of 20 months.
In a test given by Lr. Samuel B.
Heckman, director of the education
al clinic at the college, this 6-year
old used such wprds as encyclopedia,
evolution and luminosity. His arith
metical reasoning is equal to that of
children arnost twice his age, scien
tists said.
The intelligent quotient of 196 at.
which the professor has rated “K,”
is attained, he said, by one child \n
a million.
FARMERS can be that busy.
The recent death of Miss Leah
Barrow, 80, of Landimore, England,
revealed the fact that she had never
spent one night away from the farrn
on \vh:eh she was born. She had
never had a ride on a train, never
needed a doctor. She wore the same
hat, a poke given her as a girl, for
70 years. She was “just too busy
to do all those things other folks
did.” She was in the cattle raising
business and known througout all
England for the fine stock she bred
and raised.
The absent-minded Professor mar
ried one of his pupils.
The first morning of their honey
moon he woke up and exclaimed:
“What, Miss Martin, you here?”

The history of reindeer in Alaska
from 1891, wl n 10 animals
were brought in from eastern S:
diving the next decade
additional importations increased th.
total to 1,280 deer. These animals
because U was believed that they
:r;ci provide a means of livelihood
for the Eskimos of Alaska and fur
nish .hem with food and clothin .
ihe or'ginal herd was establVhed
Teli;r cn Sow aid Peninsula.
The Office of Education, Depart
m . e the Interior, wrs charge .
. .Tn Tie administration of the rein
leer herds because they wore in
control of the education and medi
ca relief for the native people, j. h j
k'mo, did not possess knowledge
about the reindeer, and in order that
he could be trained so that he could
care for his herds, several reindeer
i herders from Lapland were imported
! and they were given the task of
, • wuing a certain number of appre.
tices each year. The apprentices
were placid under contract and we .
required to perform certain servic-..
a period of four years. After
they had completed their apprentice
hip they were given a certain num
ber of deer as a nucleus f r the r
own hcid. A rapid increase n the
r umber of deer was- not forseen h
the most optimistic supporters of
: t*io plan. Ihe original purposes, to
provide food ar.d clothing, have bem
■ Yleved in nearly every section
where the reindeer thrive. The
hires have increased until new they
are estimated to be more than
6 0,000 animals in the region between
Point Barrow and the Alaska Pen
nsuia. Many of the herds have
been acquired by others than natives,
and the local markets will not ao
soib even a small proportion of the
annual increase.
