Theodore's common sense runs largely to sales- manship, but any subject in which Theodore desires to excel he excels. He is also a Chemist in a small way and has every expectation of some day discovering a new element. Jerknm's in- satiable curiosity or desire for knowledge, which- ever you term it, is often a source of embarrass- ment to teachers if they are unable to satisfy him. He is a shark to speak in finances, as is proved by the fact that his rare ability to sell ads has in a large measure been responsible for keeping the school paper from being a financial burden for the lust two years.
