Sullivan, Mo., Boy, 5, Has Mentality Double His Age

A newspaper clipping about Warfield’s impressive intellect. The full title is “Sullivan, Mo., Boy, 5, Has Mentality Double His Age: Johnnie Warfield Reads Fluently and Does Simple Arithmetic - High Intelligence Rating.” Folder also includes email communication with Warfield’s younger brother, George D. Warfield.

Sent to GMU 27 September 2007. Subtitle: Johnnie Warfield Reads Fluently and Does Simple Arithmetic - High Intelligence Rating. An email message is also in folder, from George D. Warfield, John Warfield’s younger brother who lives in metropolitan St. Louis area and did the research that turned up the old news story. In his professional life John Warfield had kept quiet about this news item for 60 years, but finally decided to look it up again (probably in hopes it might help to get wider acceptance of his ideas on dealing with complexity in human situations). This clipping is also in the Warfield Digital Collection, along with pdf scanned copies of the two photographs from St. Louis Post Dispatch which we lent to GMU for copying, but we still have the originals of the photos here at home.
