BABY MUSICAL GENIUS
England possesses a child musical genius, daughter of a workman at Woolwich Arsenal. Her existence was revealed recently by Dr. Percy Buck to the Oxford course in music teaching. "There is a tiny girl I could bring here, if she were not too small to bo taken from her mother," Dr. Buck said. "If I suggested an idea to hor, sho could sit down and play a perfect little tune illustrating it. Sho is so small that she has to be lifted on to her .music stool, but if 1 said the word ' snowflakc,' she would play a dainty fragment on the top notes, and if I said ' elephants ' sho would rumblo about in the bass."
