AfJ&Sr. fCT WILSON
FOR HEAD
Remarkable Achievement of
Woman Whose, Methods
Wrought Wonders' With Her
Own Son, Born a Mute.
Natural Difficulties Overcome
With a Completeness That
Has Amazed Psychologists
' and Learned Savants.
Mnv&ucy Langdon W. Wilson, explorer
and hpml of the department of biology
of the Philadelphia Normal School, la a
candidate for the prlnolpalshlp of the
Southern HlKh School for atria, now In
course of erection at l3road street and
Snyder avenue.
Mrs. Wllaon Is tho wlfo of Dr. William
P. Wllaon, curator of tho Commercial
Museum. There are many reasons why
her candidacy has attracted unusual at
tention, tho chief belnpr that ehe la a
woman. A faction of tho Uoard of Edu
cation has been to persistent In its sex
discrimination that suffragists and mem
bers of women's clubs have aligned them
selves solidly In favor of Doctor (Mrs.)
Wilson.
Her only son, David, was born a
mute. Her mother's heart felt that tho
tremendous handicap should bo removed,
and hor scientific mind believed that It
could. Accordingly, the biologist aban
doned for n whllo tho study of worms and
fishes to tako up tho Btudy of tho llttlo
human being who couldn't hear a lullaby
and who never had tho power to tell hla
parents how much he really cared for
thorn.
David's mind was closely studied, for
Mrs. Wilson Is a psychologist as well.
Instinct ns well as observation convinced
tho scholar-mother that her son was
a child of extraordinary mental callbro.
The head of the Government School for
Mutes In Vienna was brought to this
country far a year to advlBO tho father
and mother on methods to bo employed In
making David a healthy, normal boy.
DIFFICUITIES CONQUEIIED.
His advice proved effoctlve. Bofora
tho child had reached his ninth birthday
ho could not only speak as well as tho
average American youngster, but ho had
mastered French and Gorman as 'well.
He had completed a high school courso
In Latin, under tho tutelago of tho woman
Who also found time to supervlso one of
tho most Important departments In one of
the largest normal schools Jn tho country.
Experts In tho training of tho deaf
and dumb proclaimed him a "wonder."
Pedagogues pointed to the lad as an ex
ample of tho efficacy of "Intenslvo educa
tion." Laymen called him a "gonlus."
B.ul InS, . "I ,. D0"er- ur-
stood him to bo Just a normal, natural
but tho mother know better. She under-
HU) Vi,U ilUU UVGIWI11D uujiuuiiies.
Sho decided later, however, that he
was acompllshlng too much, for Mrs.
Wilson believes Uiat "forward" children
aro as unfortunate as "backward" pu
pils. A tour of tho world was planned,
and mother and son, free of care and
study, visited almost every civilized
country.
When they returned to their home at
80 North 32d street, David developed
a love of the flno arts.
KNOWLEDGE OF ASTRONOMY.
His knowledge of astronomy ro as
tounded Philadelphia scientists that he
was permitted to use the Philadelphia
Observatory nt tho Central High School,
a prlvllcgo that had hitherto been grant
ed only to professors and students of

"Do-o-o, doo-o-o, do-o-o atop and let
me sleep!" murmured old man Owl from
his nest Jn tho tree. "Why must you
talk so loud and long;"
"Oh. it's Just that Billy Robin is so be
lieving," said Tommy Sparrow, "and I'm
trying to teach him better,"
"So-o-o?" said tho Owl. "Well, as
you'vo got me awake, I suppose you
might as well tell me all about It."
So they told the owl all about Bluey
Blackbird's sudden interest In the quality
of their food and his offer to tako them
to the park. "Then go," advised the owl;
"he likely has some mean scheme up his
sleeve and you ought to go ond fool

"Trust you," repljed the owl; "now let

So after a little further planning, Billy
and Tommy oat out on the farthest limb,
where Bluey would be euro to see them
and waited for another Invitation to the
park. It was not long in coming, for
Bluey was waiting for them. They fol
lowed hlra over toward the park, lis

say about the wonderful worms and In

to the water, where he had first seen the

EVENING LEPGEB-PHIEAPBCTHIX MONPAY, JUNE 21.
The Daily Story
Sara's Employer
From the very first Gladwin had to
admit to himself that Sara was perfeot
of hor kind. Sho had come to him at n.
time when ha was sadly In need of her
assistance. His own stenographer had
fallen ill nnd had gone away to a rest
euro; It was the time of the year when
business was heavy nnd experienced help
hard to find. Gladwin, In despair, was
Just steeling his mind to chooso between
two doubtful young persons whom a popu
Inr rmnlnvmsnt nffencv had sent to him
wlirn Rnrit nnnenrod. She had been filling
n position, temporarily, In the absence of
a regular stenogrnpner. ine reguiur
stenographer had returned and she was
out of employment. Tho man In whoso
office sho had worked, having some ac
quaintance with Gladwin and knowing
his need, had sent her to him. And Glad
win hired her at once, with ft secure feel
ing of relief that he had not been forced
from necessity to employ a makeshift
Sara told him that her former posi
tion had been her flrBt, but for all that
sho did not seem to lack experience. She
i was nlort, obedient, dainty and yet
buBlness-llkq In nil her methods. Her
i work was always done on time, and with
exquisite precision. Sho did not bsk ques
tions. Sho did not teavo things lying
about Sho always hit tho waste-paper
baskot when Bhe aimed lor it. one am
not bother Gladwin about useless details;
Indeed, she rarely spoke to him at all un
less sho was first spoken to. Her manner
was attractive. It was reserved, dlgnl
flod, calm. Sho was never In a hurry,
never nnythlng but nt caso. She camo
at tho stroke of the hour nnd departed
llkowlso. Sho wasted no tlmo that was
not her own.
After a time Gladwin cot beyond her
manner nnd began to notlco the girl. Bho
wore black-porfeotly fitting, perfectly
tailored black, not always tho same In
style, but always the same In simplicity.
Tho bits of whlto nt hor throat and wrists
wero always snowy; sho exhibited no
Jewelry; her hair was always perfectly
smooth. Sho was rather a plain girl, but
her plainness was of tho kind that lessens
with acquaintance. One had to see Sara
many times before one was aware that
her mouth was sweet and that her skin
was good In splto of its pallor.
Good breeding broathed from her as
'constantly and unobtrusively ns did tho
fragranco of her subtlo perfume. Sho had
nothing to say about horsclf and after
six months spent in dally contact with
her, Gladwin know no moro about hor
than ho had known tho first morning sho
enterod his office. Her comploto uncon
sciousness of him In any other capacity
than that of her employer piqued his
curiosity.
Gladwin was a good-looking man, who
dressed well and had plenty of wit. The
few women ho know had always made
much of him. Two or threo of them, ho
felt vaguely, wanted to marry him, but
not one of them was the sort of woman
ho carod to link his llfo with. To tell tho
truth, Gladwin had given so llttlo tlmo
to .tho thought of women that he did not
know the kind ho preferred, but It camo
to him one day as ho sat watching Sara
at work that she pleased him better than
any woman ho had over seen.
It was a light morning no one could
call It sunny, for sunshine never pene
trated tho windows of that particular
oltlco building, shut In as It was by larger
structures and Sara's hair showed moro
satiny than over, her cheek finer of
tcxturo, hor dress moro Immaculate.
A llttlo sigh of sudden longing caught
In Gladwin's throat and ho stumbled In
his dictation. That was tho beginning
of his fallltfg In lovo with her. It was
curious, too, for ho had novcr dreamed
that ho would want to marry any sten
ographer In his employ. He had heard
of such things bolng done and he did not
not approvo of them. But Sara distinctly
was not tho ordinary type of office girl.
Gladwin made up his mind that ho would
speak to her. But first ho wanted to
mako a llttlo bigger pllo before ho took
it upon himself to support a wife.
"Do you think," he asked her ono day,
"that two persons can live decently In
this town on $1500 a year?"
Sara seemed to hesltato a moment be
fore sho answered quietly: "I havo heard
that thero aro people who live on very
much less and yet manage to bo com
fortable." Gladwin said nothing more. But the
next day ho asked tho Bamo question of
a friend who had recently become en
caged. "Fifteen hundred a year!" More
laughed. "Why, man alive, that wouldn't
buy provisions, to say nothing of paying
for house rent nnd cab hire and theatre
tlckots and clothes." He tripped mer
rily over tho list, at the conclusion of
which Gladwin looked quite downcast.
More caught him by tho shoulder.
"Thinking of It seriously are you, old
man?"
"No oh, no," Gladwin shook his head.
"No, Indeed." But ho was.
It was soon after that that Gladwin
began to speculate In Btocks. A few
trifling things came his way and he
thought ho had found an easier road to
making money than grinding out tho
law at so much a case. He began to
study the papers more and his law books
less. Two or three times Sara had to
remind him of things he had left undone.
Gladwin gradually becamo absorbed, a
little preoccupied of manner. Ho some
times caught Sara looking at him be
wllderedly. One day he suddenly became
buoyant, almost gay. He 'whistled softly,
ho even tried to sing ho who could not
produce two consecutive notes harmon
iously. That morning N. IC & Y. had
gone up four points and there was every
indication that It would rise still higher.
Two or three times that day ho was on
the point of telling Sara about his success
and asking her to share it; then the
thought came: "No, I'll wait a little.
There's time enough."
Alas! Two days later when Sara came
In after lunch she found Gladwin doubeld
up across his desk. He looked like either
a dead man or a very sick one. She
went to him and Bhook him by the
etiouider. "Mr. Qladwlnl"
He looked up at her. His face was
one rigid pallor, "Sara," he said dully,
"I've played the fool, I bought more
N. K. & Y., and it's going down down "
He gulped, "I'm ruined 1"
Bhe took her hand from his shoulder.
She did not seem surprised. "How bad
Is It?" she demanded.
He drew paper and pencil toward him
and began to figure. She looked on
thoughtfully,
"Pretty bad. ian't t?" he queried.
"Yes, It's pretty bad."
"And the worst of t 1b," Gladwin went
on, recklessly piling up his tribulation.
"I've neglected my business lately till
it has fallen off. No, that Isn't the -worst,
The worst Is that that I had something
to say to you which I can never say now.
In the hope of being able to say It I
went Into this deal you understand?"
Her face burst into Joy as with flame.
Her band went to his shoulder again,
"Yes, I understand now. But I didn't
before. I thought you were doing it for
somebody else. You see, I suspected
what you were up to." She spoke breath,
lessiy. "If only you had told me!"
"Too late now, Sara."
"No, it Isft't too late. Nothing is ever
too late. Tell tne now."
And nM roada htm tell her. As Bhe
listened she became almost beautiful.
She was altogether a. different Sara by
the time he had finished.
"And now I'll tell you sproething," she
sajd when he had ended. "I don't have
to run a typewriter. I took it up after
father died baeawfe I wa Utatly and had
to have sosaethlag to do. Il left me

Tho skirt Is plain, with a double tunlo
of shadow lace, like last season's Rus

IOVE'S young dream and tho glamour

of her heart during business hours to
coyly Inform him that lie was "her
almond, blossom In a wortd of grayl"
Admitting that tho metaphor was of a
fantastlo and unusual type, that was poor
consolation to tho young man when he

tho disruption! If oho had only heard

Whenever I hear sundry fair maidens
billing and cooing Into telephones during
thoso hours In which the average male Is,
or ought to be, cngagod In earning his

trouble is coming to thoso same Indiscreet
maidens. For no man under tho sun likes
to bo billed and cooed over at tho wrong
time, and assuredly ofllco hours aro very
much the wrong Umol
Dut you can't Instil any such practical
information Into tho heads of tho thought,
less fair ones. They havo to learn by sage
experience, and sago experience- Is a hard
teacher, as the girls Arid when "Billy"
or "Johnnlo" or "Tommlo" decides" that
he's had about ejiough of this telephono
love-making, nnd that It's bottcr to keep
a good olllco Job than a silly fiancee, who
hasn't sufTlclont common sense to know
that thero aro times and seasons for all
things, and that tho olllco phone, with the
exchange girl eagerly drinking In every
word, isn't the right place for femlnlno
outpourings!
Yes, I admit It's hard to put old heads
on young shoulders, but at tho samo tlmo
why on earth can't tho girls have a llttlo
common senso theso days? The oder
some of them grow tho moro foolish do
they become! Ono lndy of my acquaint
ance really seems to havo got Into hor
Bcconii Glgglchood. No, not her second
childhood, but her second glgglchood.
She Is repeating in a fceblo Imitation that
somewhat annoying' period In tho- "flap
per's" career, where sho keeps up one
perpetual snicker. But then ono excuses
the flapper, becauso of her limited' years.
But one cannot excuso Forty for tho
follies of Fifteen!
This lady of the Second Glgglchood has
a mania for billing and cooing Into tho
telephono at all untimely hours of tho
day. "Hello, Mr. Smith," you will hear
her murmur, If you happen to call at her
house In tho morning, "I Just rang up to
nBk It you think It Is going to rain to
day? You aro such a wonderful weather
prophet! You don't think so? Oh, I'm so
glad, as I'vo promised to meet my sister
in town. Thanks ever so muchl"
Or the performance will bo of this or
der: "Hello, Tommte, Is thnt you? I've
got two theatre tickets for tonight. Oh,
you havo an engagement? I'm ao sorry!
