Remarkable precocious boy at New Jersey Reform School
A six year old ward of the state in Jamesburg is described as a precocious youth with the manners of a twenty year old. Herman Hoffer is over four feet tall with a blonde mustache and strength to lift heavy weights. His parents sought court intervention to subdue him. Doctors call him a phonomenon and a reworkable cast. He attends Jamesburg, is not yet trouble prone, and his mind’s future is undecided. The tale ends with a quip about Diogenes in jest.
