One afternoon after school hours an anxious mother called to report to me s serious matter. She was greatly perturbed because her little boy had como heme the provious day and was able to read two or three pages of his new book and to tell her all about it. I anticipated that she was of the opinion that the little chap was learning far too quickly for his age but to my as
