Historical records showing Child- bood traits and mental talenta of the geniuses were used as a basis for giv ing out the Intelligence ratings. John Htuart Mill, celebrated Rngllslv' pbllos- trpher and economist, was awarded the blgheat rank of all the 801 famous Children. His Intelligence quotient was placed at 190. which Is 90 points higher than avernge mentality. At six years of age Mill wrote a history of Rome, and at elgli^ he gave Latin les sons and was held responsible for the arrors of his pupil. h Three children were given Intelll- fence ratings of 188.

The rating* are In many cases far too low, she •ays. The Investigation was conducted to ahed light on- the early mental traits of geniuses. Doctor Cox finds that generally eminent men and women show signs of superior mentality In early childhood. “We are probably warranted In ex pecting superior adult achievement wherever In childhood the Intelligence quotient Is above 150,” she states. “But we may not be warranted In ex pecting a world genlua If the 200 IQ la rear Cold of the Ancientt The supply of gold In ancient times waa derived mostly from surface sands and gravels which yielded their val ues by almple processes of washing.

Waited Long for Notice Not until 14 years after the com pletion of her masterpieces, "Pride and Prejudice” and ‘Sense and Sensl- billtyf* were the novels of Jane Aus ten read outside her own admiring circle. Originally called “First Ini- prasalons." the novel "Pride and Prej udice" was refused by the publishers, who in the latter part of the Hight- eenth century were making money by the distribution of books depicting "‘romantic horrors and extravagance." When It was finally accepted and pub- llafaed 14 years later, It was Immedi ately acclaimed by the reading public.
