THE CHILD AND THE GRAMOPHONE RECORDS.

[To the Editor of the SPECTATOR.) SIR,—My small grandson, since about two years old, has picked out all the gramophone records in the same way as the child mentioned in the Spectator of April 28th. I think observant children are able to do this through noticing the number of words and their length. My grandson knows where the end of a page comes in little tales which are fre- quently read to him, and instantly notices books or ornaments not in their usual places.—I am, Sir, 8c.c.,
