BIG SALARY PAID WOMAN.
Superintendent Of Indian Schools
Draws $1,000 Year Outside
of Her Expenses.

Some of the best paid employees Of
the government in Washington are
women, declares the Philadelphia
Press. so far as wages are concerned,
Uncle Sam recognizes no distinction Of
sex, and in some branches of the pub
lie service persons in pe,ticOats, owing
to their superior aptitude for certain
kinds of work, have entirely driven
out the men. who are unable to com
pete with them.
The highest salary paid by the gov
eminent to a woman is drawn by Miss
Estelle Reel, who is superintendent OF
all the Indian schools. She is a re-
markable woman, and the supervision
which she exercises over the rising
generation Of the nations wards has
already revOluuOnized, to a great ex-
tent, the system Of management
adopted.
Miss Reel gets $1,000 a year. plus
her expenses. the latter being a con-
siderable item, inasmuch as she spends
most Of her, time in travelling about
frOs one school to another, utilizing
almost every known means Of trans
pOrtatiOn. and when stage coaches fail,
frequently riding on horseback for

LIZ IS a RARY NoRMAL?
Medical Expert Tells How a Mother
Can Answer the Question
Beyond a Doubt

When a person first becomes parent
be or she watches the little new
Sorn creature with the most intense
anxiety. The fear sometimes haunts
the parent that perhaps the babe Is not
mentally perfect. The father tries 10
solve the problem, but his mind has
nothing TO hold to, NOTHING to guide il
to conclusion A few glances may tell
that the baby's body has all the outward
evidences Of being normal, but the par
ents' endeavors to understand the slow
ly-awakening mind prove futile. How
much greater would be my jOy," q
mother often says TO herself, IF knew
that my baby's brain is as IL should be. T"
According to some experts, however,
this suspense Is needless. They declare
that the mind Of baby is normal If the
child Is able to do certain things at GER
tain ages. It is only when the baby acts
differently that fear may well seize the
mothers heart, fear that her babe may
be foolish, that only its animal nature
will grow, while the mind remains
dwarfed, sluggish, in a sort Of continual
twilight
According to specialists, the mental
symptoms of the baby may even be re-
iuced to a catalogue. "A normal
child" says DR.. Louise Fiske BrysOn, in

months the baby begins to initiate; sits
up at the sixth month; stands without
support at the ninth month and walks at
the age Of 10 months.
AT this period he also laughs, smiles,
gives a kiss, repeats syllables and IN
derstands a number Of words. From the
twentieth to the twenty-fOUrth month
he executes ORDERS on command, tries TO
sing, beat time and dance TO music. At
the age of three the child walks upstairs
unaided and speaks distinctly. He be-
gins TO ask questions
The sub-normal child has not deVel-
oped in this way. He is different, say
the parents. That sums up the whole
situatioI-he is different from normal. %
According TO available statistics, says
DR.. Bryson, there are TWO feeble-minCed
persons TO every thousand inhabitants,
and to every $40 there are i've or six chill

the ordinary methods Of instruction.
Predetermined children, she adds, are
generally fond Of music, can often sing,
even when unable 10 talk, can play on
some musical instrument alone or with
others" For such she recommends spe-
cial physical exercises, which tend to
awaken the creative faculties Of the
mind.
The symptoms Of the sub-nOrmal
mind cannot be classified, from the very
nature Of things, as are the actions Of a
normal child. What constitutes a
backward, or deficient, child?" asks DR..
BrysOn. How can you tell one when
you see one? Not in an ofihand way;
yet there is something that stamps the
child as different from his fellows. The
lack Of command over himself suggests
illness to the inexperienced. Some, per-
haps many, Of the stigmata Of degenera-
ton may be present, physical signs Of
