While traveling abroad, Mr. Jackson Frank ran short of money. So he wrote to his brother, asking for $500."Send the money by telegram," he wrote, "to the Fisher Bank in P¡­" After a week he began calling at the Fisher Bank. He showed his passport. "Nothing has come for you," he was told. This went on for two weeks and Mr. Frank got very worried. He sent a telegram to his brother, asking where the money was. There was no reply, and no money arrived for him.ª¥

In the fourth week Mr. Frank was arrested for failing to pay his hotel bill. His passport was taken from him. He tried to explain the problem, but no one believed him. He was sent to prison for six days. When he came out, he went immediately to the Fisher bank. The clerk he spoke to was a new man. "Have you received $500 for me? "he ask, "My name is Jackson Frank." The clerk checked his books. " Yes, Jackson, it's here. It came by telegram.¡ªlet me see¡ªoh, more than two months ago. We wondered where you were." He showed Mr. Frank the order. The order read: "Pay Mr. Frank Jackson the sum of $500...""But my name is Jackson Frank, not Frank Jackson. " "Oh, that's all right, sir. It was in our books under the letter 'J', but it's your money." The clerk laughed, "A human mistake, sir! We're all human beings, aren't we? And so we all make mistakes.

I think some humans need kicking."

As researchers learn more about how children's intelligence develops, they are increasingly surprised by the power of parents. The power of the school has been replaced by the home. To begin with, all the factors which are part of intelligence ¡ª the child's understanding of language, learning patterns, curiosity ¡ª are established well before the child enters school at the age of six. Study after study has shown that even after school begins, children's achievements have been far more influenced by parents than by teachers. This is particularly true about learning that is language- related. The school rather than the home is given credit for variations in achievement in subjects such as science.

In view of their power, it's sad to see so many parents not making the most of their child's intelligence. Until recently parents had been warned by educators who asked them not to educate their children. Many teachers now realize that children cannot be educated only at school and parentsare being asked to contribute both before and after the child enters school.

Parents have been particularly afraid to teach reading at home. Of course, children shouldn't be pushed to read by their parents, but educators have discovered that reading is best taught individually ¡ª and the easiest place to do this is at home. Many four-and five-year-olds who have been shown a few letters and taught their sounds will compose single words of their own with them even before they have been taught to read.
