Mother of Prodigy Tells How She Brought Up Child

~.

Anne Austin and her daughter. Ell en Elizabeth Benson. Ellen Elizabeth at 12 is being graduated from a New York high school at the head of her class. Scientists say she has the mind of a l-year-old already.

Editor’s Note—This is the first of six srticles by the mother of Ellen Benson, the 12-year-old child who has Just comSleted -a college preparatory coarse in ew York. By Anne Austin. Everyone is inclined to smile Indulgently, but pityingly, at very young mothers. They are so full of theories about motherhood and childrearing. But in looking back over the twelve very full and gloripus years that I have been the mother of the child whose mind is tlje brightest that has ever been tested, I cannot help coming to th§ conclusion that my extreme youth—l married just before I was 17 and was a mother eight days after my 18th birthday—was the biggest factor in getting Elizabeth off to a flying start as a prize baby, both physically and mentally. I Vor youth has boundless courage and lofty ideals. Judged by adult standards, my marriage _ was an insane thing. I was undersized physically, in very uncertain health, and I was working my way through college. I married a boy of 19 who was also a college freshman, working his way.

We married In August, and enrolled for our sophomore year in Baylor University at Waco, Texas, in September. Prayed for Child We had less than a hundred dollars between us, yet I began to pray for a baby. I am sure my Intense desire for a child was the underlying motive In my marriage. When nature decided to let me have my way, I kept right on praying, but I was rather timid about, asking for blessings for my baby. I did not pray that the child should be pretty! I asked only that she—l wanted a girl—should be bom with a sound mind In a sound body, and that I should be able to care for her. , Elizabeth was born Sept. 21, 1913, and from the very fir|t I knew that my prayer had been answered. She was a strong, perfectly healthy baby and within a few weeks demonstrated conclusively that she was at least normal mentally. After losing only one semester from college, I resumed both my college studies and the work by which

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

I made'my share of the expenses. I dashed home between classes to nurse the baby, studying the next lesson as I did so. From the first I was mad about my baby, and although I had no time to rock her to sleep or sing to her—l can’t sing anyway—l dreamed great dreams for her. To Be Best Friend I had been lonely; she would be my best friend, the girl chum to whom I could tell secrets and confide ambitions. She should have everything that, as a poverty-ridden, homely little br&t I had missed in life. Above all, she should have perfect health—l studied Dr. Holt’s baby book more than any textbook used in my college course—and she should have perfect mental and spiritual freedom. From the very first I recognized her right, to her own Individuality; she was a person whom I intended to make my beloved friend; she was never just my baby, to be ruled by me. I believe I have accomplished all these things for her, and I shall try to tell other mothers how I did it. Therre were no tricks, no theories, no magic about it. It all applies as aptly to the child of-average intelligence as to the super-bright child.
