A Big Part of the Worlds Work

7 n the october issue Of that very
fine review The Worlds
Work" there is an article en-
titled The Business of Christian
izing the World" The article is
in itself remarkable; but the real
ly striking thing is that 1t APP

one needs a minute or two in which
to take in some OF the impIica-
tions Of this fact. But there is
no escaping the conclusion. The
business Of Outstanding the ma
tions Of the earth is now a part
of the worlds work! II is not a
fad 1t is not an amiable weak
ness on the part OF gushing sim
pletons. 1t Is not a diversion for
the idle leisure of maiden ladies
Of a certain age with more money
than sense. 1t is not even a le-
ultimate outlet for Christian en-
thusiasm too exalted for this
workaday life of ours. In the

first general plan to be worked
out in America for the study Of
the strongest, best and most able
types-th9t is, the normal type.
The intent is to first interest
the parent, and there is no doubt
this can be done. If a parent has
an exceptionally bright and tai
ented child he is pleased to have
the fact recognized by others.
If the child is defective you
may have hard task In getting
the cooperation of the parent
in studying biological or genetic
conditions.
But the experience so far, in
New Orleans, shows that parents
are cooperating with the teach
ers. And you must have the
hearty cooperation of the par
ents in the matter of school
teaching and school tests II you
would succeed.
Building the Ideal.
The problem in teaching school
is to control the parent.
There are taetfuI social work
ers delegated to get information
from the parents as to the con
ditions under which the child has
been reared. The whole purpose
Is to study the apparently excep-
ttonal child and find out why he
is strong and well and happy,
and cheerful and helpful, and
. progressive-a joy to his teacher
and a Joy to his parents.
So it VIII be seen that the I'm
tent Of this most excellent plan
is to fix the attention Of teach
ers, school directors and parents
on the exceptional, and to fill
their minds with the ideal, II
possible, to the end that these
conditions that environed the ex-
ceptional child may be repeated.
Such information massed over
period OF years would do for
the world what Darwin's "Orlr
gin of Species" did for science
Darwin simply collected vasb
amount Of information in refers
ence TO animals and plants, WITH
a multitude Of significant facts,
There is no doubt at an
that If we had, say, Just ona
book containing bEief and accu"
rate data in reference TO 100 exc
ceptional school children X
would DC studied with great In
terest by parents, teachers ana
pupils themselves.
Holding the ideal before tire
public instead OF the abnormal 10
certainly a thing much TO be de"
sired.

4 AM in receipt of letter from
the president of an ad club
wherein he requests a state
ment from me. He explains that
he has sent a similar request TO
upward of a hundred different
writer's So here is the request:
Please name three prominent
false standards in business that
exist to-day, and how to remedy
them"
Here is purely negative prop
osition.
Forget the Evil.
The gentleman isn't interested

order, harmony, progress, success
as he is in false standards. Not
only win he not be satisfied with
one false standard, but he asks

hope he does not consult ME
as an expert.
My correspondent has simply
forgotten that we live in an age
that is essentially affirmative.
There is no use dwelling on the
evil. Forget the evil. Let 1t be
swallowed up in the good.
Detectives looking for evil are
in danger in time of taking on the
cLorortar Of criminals
There was a time, perhaps,
when false standards were COM
mon, but they were not univer-
sal. otherwise business could not
have been carried on at all.
In medicine however, you will
find that the study of the abnor-
NAL prevails. Pick up any medi
cal journal-of which there are
about forty published in Amer
ica-and you will and that the

strous, the peculiar, the unusual.

writers and artists.

studies Of the abnormal The de-
fectives have been given great
space, and specialists assigned to
look after their needs.

to India to begin his work. At
that time there were about two
hundred millions of Christians in
