The boy loves mathematics and science. He reads omnivorously and has a rVal appetite for mystery and detective stories. The parents, of course, had a ser ious problem In directing the lad'a life into normal channels.. They did not curb his talent but they saw that it was balanced by proper play, exercise- and boyish activity. They always satisfied his desires "to know," and If It pinched the family pocketbook, they economized In oth er directions. They permitted him to collect a library on widely varied subjects. They gave- him a micro scope and kept him supplied with games and pictures. His father taught him music and Spanish. His mother Instructed him in elementary subjects.

It would be better If he were educated at home, provid ed parents knew how, and could and would take time, all the time not sporadically." Both Mr. and Mrs. Hull are profes sional . teachers and . accomplished musicians. . No Athlete. Alexander, whose frank brown eyes look out on the world from behind large horn-rlmmed spectacles, is be low average In athletic skill, his father said, and would rather play creative games of his own making. He likes card games and chest. Hull, who recommends special schools for advanced children, added: "With mental equals he Is physically out of the running and with physi cal equals he is bored." . The boy regards his learning as "fun." His parents never permit him to overdo It. He has kept ft dally diary for four years. In the last year he has gone to moving pictures and tikes the comedies especially. His bicycle gives him his cnlef exercise. "Alexander Is a little boy," he fath er said, "and there Is nothing further from our minds than to treat him as ' a prodigy. We do not encourage him 1 to do things for display, but for self (expression and pleasure."
