OORVALLIS. Ore., Oct, 20. (AP)
A nine-year-old youngster, who stood
at the head of ft college class when
he was only six, walks briskly paat
tha C orval lis grade school each day
and shoves open the great door of
the high school, with hi shoulder.
It's Alexander Hull, Jr., attending
school for the first time In his life.
Alexander's education, a combination
of his own intellectual lnqulsltlve-
nen and amazmg ability to learn,
developed with auch Levlatlan-Uke
strides at home that the grammar
school pace waa too alow aa early as
at the pre-school age.
Even now the child seta the exam
ple of scholarship for his older school
mates.
Knew Letters at Two.
When Alexander learned his "let
ters" at two years and one month.
an age when the majority of babies
are Just eliminating the tantalizing
thumb-sucking habit, his parents
knew he had "gift." Four months
later he could print his own name.
When he was four years old Alexan
der could "read anything." knew the
multiplication tables through the
12s and began playing the piano
with a "sense of absolute pitch."
His father, a member of the gen
eral extension system at Oregon State
College, welcomed him Into hie Pacific
college class In harmony at six. Al
exander was more advanced than the
undergraduate. He played Mozart D
minor fantasia In concert. In the
last year he has accompanied his ,
father in radio broadcasts and plays
nearly all the world's great composi
tions with an artist's sympathy and
understanding.
I,ovrs Mathematics.
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.
(J rude school Mere Review
"Last year we let him take the
course of study for the gradps and
Junior high school and had him run
through the subjects." the father
said. "In a sense It waa review."
."It seem to me highly Important
that a child be permitted to make
progress at hU own desire and at
such speed as is suited to him Indi
vidually, "The mentally advanced child Is
held back and annoyed and made
ilasy by the alownesa and simplicity
of "average children" class instruc
tion procedure. 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."

Featuring the DYNAFLASH
engine and Torque. Free
Springing in the Most
Modem Chassis In the World
YOU won't drive a hundred yards
in a new Buick without realiz
ing that something marvclously new
and different is happening here. .
It's something that happens in no
other car, in no other engine.
Speeding through the intake mani
fold, the fuel charge hurricanes into
the cylinder at something like 250
miles an hour.
Leaping to meet it is the piston, with
a unique device called a Turbulntor
built into its face.
Then occurs something more than
lifpiSiS
j
high compression literally cyclone
frexsionan swirling gasoline vapor
is compacted about the spark plug.
The spark sets off a list-size hurri
cane and gasoline gives up more
performance than it ever gave up in
a commercial engine before!
This livelier, smarter power might
seem enough or engineers to lavish
on a car in a single year.
But matching Dynaflsh power in
importance is Buick Torqiie-Frue
Springing and its arroflilc ride.
Take a Buick over a railroad cross
ingaround a curve over bumps.
There's no thud and chatter, no tail
swing or roll; you cover rough go
ing with the silk-smoothness of a
panther on the prowl.
AH because old-type leaf springs art
gone! In their place, each wheel has
a soft, shock-smothering cushion of
stout coiled steel.
Skid risks are blessedly reduced.
Rear tires last longer. The whole
car handles more easily! That's
Torque-Free Springing at work!
If it's power you're after, you'll want
Buick's Dvnvfiash engine. If it's
comfort, you'll choose the Torque.
Free Springing ride.
With cither you get the other-plus

dealer is waiting to describe. See
