After Albert's sister was born Albert's literary skills and scholarly skills in general decreased drastically, he became quiet once again and his parents became very angry since they had spent much of their money trying to educate Albert. They sent him to a military school which was the worst punishment you could have given him. He absolutely detested the thought of war or anything to do with war, he wanted peace. He protested against the marching and all of the things that he had to do, but refusing to do something when commanded to do so, meant punishment. So unfortunately, Albert was forced to march and look like a good little soldier or get severely punished.

 After a year of military school, Albert begged his parents to get him out of military school and it was his mother that sided with Albert this time. They got Albert out of the military school and back into his studies, happy to be back in the area that he liked, Albert's grades shot through the roof. He was finally allowed to go to a public school and he amazed his fellow students along with his teachers. His analytical skills were the best that most of the teachers had ever seen.

Albert's parents started inviting a college student for dinner most nights of the week. Albert took full advantage of this and he began to ask the college student all of the questions he had, which was quite a lot of questions. By the time that the college student had to go away, there was nothing the he knew that Albert didn't. At this point of his life he started helping his father at his store and he would play around with the little gizmos that he would find around his father's shop. He would ask his father questions that his father had no idea how to answer, Albert and his father began building a strong relationship.
