The Appeal. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn. ;) 1889-19??, 1911-06-10
THE HUMAN INTELLECT HAS
CEASED TO GROW.

Neville Champerlain, and English
psychologist, after some years oil
study concludes that the human in
tellect has ceased to grow. Mr.
Chamberlain means that the brain
capacity of the highest type of eau.
casian of today is no higher than that
of the cultured Greeks of $500 years
ago, for instance
Mr.. Chamberlain calls attention to
the fact that the japanese, Chinese,
Babus of India and Bushmen of Aus
tral1a were regarded as peoples of in
ferior' intelligence a half century ago
on account of their crude civilization
and moral codes. Now students from
those countries in European univer-
Stiles compete successfully with the
descendants of line of men who
nave been in touch with what we re.
gard as high civilization.
Mr.. Chamberlain might have also
called attention to the Afro-American
students, whose parents were slaves
less than fifty years ago. They have
shown the same mental capacity as
the Caucasians and in many instances
have outstripped their white fellow
students and carried off the honors in
the great universities of the country.
