was lu the nature of a memorandum
naming live military secrets which the
writer pffercd to convey to the un

was turned over to the miserable Mer

Viola Olerlch Is the name of the most
remarkable child In tin- State ..f Iowa.
If not in the world. She I only two
yenrs nnd one month old. yet she Is
possessed of the gravity of u woliiuu,
VIOLA OLBBim,
aiiil. Indeed, her face Is the face of u
mature, Intellectual womuu. Viola, by
the wuy, is a very pretty child uud
gives promise of developing Into u
brantifnl young woman. She Is the
daughter of Mr. nnd Mrs. Henry Ole
rlch. Her fatbOT wns recently super
intendent of the public schools of Lake
t.'lty. but be give up the jios-t for the
purpose of devoting himself to the
work of writing n treutlse ou educa
tion, When Viola was one your nnd eleven
months nnd twetity-tlve days old she
pasted nn examination before two com
petent teachers. At thut time the child
knew not less than 3,xxi substantives.
It Is probnble thnt the vocabulary of
this baby was al that time much larger
than thut of the ordinary man. Her
father suys that Viola knows more
nouns thnu the nvernge ndttlt knows
words. The unusual precocity of the
child wns nurtured and developed by
the parents, uud when she once began
to learn she learned so rapidly that
her natural guardians were scarce uble
to keep puce with her.
Becordl of the child's work were
kept by her mrciits and are very Inlet
siting. There Is tlrst n scrapliook lu
which are pasted the pictures of 1,100
various objects. Viola can tell the
name of any of these objects by look
ug at the picture. In n separate book
,s kept tl record of the names of the
jhjects the pictures of which are patt
h lu the scrapliook. Viola calls the
Krapbook the "picture book." She
readily recognizes all the pictures lu
the book, and cannot only do this hut
Is ulso uble to lead a number of slmplc
lentencea.
Her education has been conducted on
the "sentence method." or the syn
thetic rather than the analytical sys
tem of teaching, The results have
beefl most marvelous. The child can
Understand things which do not come
into the mind ordinarily until the age
Df Ilfteen or sixteen has been reached.
Mr. Olerich'l theory of teaching Is
what he calls the "natural method." It
rests on three principles, which ho de
icrihea as follows:
I. To awaken n keen interest for ed
ucational work by the use of attractive
apparatus-playthings for the child.
'2. To treat the child nt nil times
with the greatest of kindness and
equality,
II. All the educational works of the
child should he an interesting gain" of
play--purely voluntary. No element of
coercion or even undue solicitation
should ever be retorted to.
"The secret of such wonderful suc
cess In the use of the natural method
of Instruction." says Mr. Olerlch, "lies
In the fact that great Interest means
undivided attention, and dose inten
tion means retention. Kind treatment
and voluntary learning continually In
crease the delight for further Inquiry,
With all her precocity, Viola lias never
studied' a lesson In her life. She has
only 'played,' and she always wants
to play longer."
