EultuT ne Georgian.
In many of your articles you
lay great stress on the PROPOSE
ton that mon should be thought
full should think for themselves.
Now, just what constitutes a
thoughtful man? In what man
uer must man read and think to
use his thought to the best ad
vantage? Is not the majority OF
mankind to be classed as such, as
evidenced by the rapid progress
being made in social and indus
trial welfare. in invention, peace
principles and in general ethics?
Again, how can /, and others,
improve our thought? How can
We better concentrated
The gist OF my effort is this
We are constantly being told to
think for ourselves, but no one
tells rs just how to think to the
best advantage. II you think this
subject worthy Of consideration in
your editorial column, l am sure
many thousands would be bene-
fitted by your advice. e. H. T

I KNOW a woman-you know
her also, or one who is her
living image-who literally
wears herself to a fragile doing
her duty by her family.
Her house is swept. and scrub

until it is clean and shiny az a
new pin. Her husbands socks
have never a hole in them. Her
children's clothes are ruffled and
tucked and hand embroidered
until they look as if they had
come out of a shop instead of be
ing made at home.
Not penny is ever wasted in
her home, and with her own

She doesn't know the reason
why, but it's plain enough to
every one else. She tolls so hard
doing the little things of life that
she has no time for the big
things She's 30 busy sweeping
under beds and brushing down
cobwebs that she has no leisure
in which to get acquainted with
her husband and children and to
be companions to them.
Above all, she keeps herself so
worn and weary that she Is moth

and is so irritable that she nags

lily and is about as soothing and

Sounds like a description of the
ideal wife and the ideal home,
doesn't it? You would think that
her family would worship her,
wouldn't you, and you couldn't
pry them away from their own

But not so. The woman COM

Now, am not minimizing tho
value Of good housekeeping. 1t
is essential to the health and
happiness of family that the
house be kept clean, and the food
well cooked, and the clothes
mended and the bills looked after.
But 1t is of far greater impor-
tance that a wife and mother
should be anna bic and pleasant,
and If she's just got enough ply

By GARRETT P. SERVISS

THERE is a mysterious power
in words. Sometimes a mere
phrase has engineered a rev.
olution. 1t may be so with the
new term, mental age which
you viii find interestingly dis
cussed in the November number
of the Cosmopolitan Magazine.
1t will be a revolution, If it
comes, which will reform our
whole system of education, and
the children will be the benefi-
Charles.
This new term in the Science Of
the mind is based upon a recog-
milton Of the fact that a human
being may be physically old, and,
at the same time, mentally young.
The state of child's mind should
not be judged from the number Of
years that have passed over it's
head. A boy or a girl may be IA
years old, reckoning by birthdays,
but only 7 years old measured by
mental development.
Yet in the schools only the first
standard is recognized; all who
are Of similar physical age and
growth are thrust into the same
classes; and If some prove unable
to hold the pace they are branded
as mentally inferior, when in fact
they may only be mentally
younger.
Here, then, is q new definition,
and a most hopeful one, for what
we have been accustomed to call
feeble mindedness," meaning by
that essential and incurable
weakness Of mind. The subject
assumes a different aspect when
we see that what we are dealing
with is not so much weakness as
lack of development.
1t is the dawning OF a new day
for the feeble minded" child
when his parents and teachers in
stead of pityingly pushing him
aside as hopelessly incapable, be-
gin to treat his mind as they
would treat his body in case the
latter showed signs of lack OF
nourishment or of assimilative
power. Many a physically feeble,
stunted child has grown up I'M
der proper care. into a strong,
healthful, energetic man. Isaac
Newton when baby was SO
dwarfed and feeble that his pa
rents despaired OF raising him.
His was a case in which the mem
tai age outpaced the bodily age
at first. In the feeble minded"
child this Is reversed, and 1t Is
the mentality that is backward,
but the right kind of care should
restore the balance in one case
as we'll as in the other.
1t Is the point of view that
tells. When you come to look
upon your Intellectually back
ward child simply as being men

The article in The Cosmopon-
tan to which I refer tells how
science has discovered a way Of
measuring the mental age when it
differs from the bodily age. The
system Of measurement is due to
the French psychologist, Alfred
Btnet, and his associate, NJ, ST.
mon. 1t depends upon very
simple principle-that of taking
the average mental stature at va
'r1ous ages, which may be deter
mined by experiments with 2
large number of normal children.
and comparing with this standard
the development of any particu-
lar child. Various ingenious de-
vices and tests are employed, in
Guiding the recognition of colors.

ory and comprehension of words.
the time taken to receive impress
sions, the drawing Of plain infer
ences, etc,
But anybody, when once the
Idea that there is such a thing az
mental age which may differ from
bodily age is understood, can
make tests for himself. We know
how the mind of the child SLOWLY
advances, for we were all once
children, stretching out feebls
hands to grasp the clouds and the
moon, and comprehending moth
Ing OF the world around us.
Probably there is not one Of u,
whose mental growth has not
either exceeded or fallen behind
the bodily growth, but in the vast
majority of cases the difference
has been too slight TO lead to I'M
portant results. But when the
difference becomes great, as when

applied to prevent an entire ar

HENWooD's SECOND
TRIAL BEGINS.

Denver, Colo, May 12.-The case
of Harold F. Henwood, which attract
ed countrywide attention two years
ago, was called in the West Side Grim
inal court today for its second trial.
On the night of May "a, 1911, Hen
wood who was the Denver agent for
an Eastern glass company, engaged in
quarrel with "Tony" Won Phul, a
well known aeronaut, in the bar-room
of the Brown Palace Hotel. The quar-
rel is said to have been over the wife
of Denver banker At the height of
the alteration Henwood opened fire
with a revolver, killing Won Phul and
George E. Copeland, a mining man of
Victor, and seriously wounding ]. w.
Atkinson, OF Colorado Springs. Cope
land and Atkinson were innocent by
ISLANDERS. Henwood was tried for kill
ing Copeland and convicted of second
degree murder. After that he secured
the dismissal of the case involving the
killing of Won Phul because he had not
been brought to trial within the time
prescribed by the statutes. The SUI
preme court granted him a new trial
on the charge on which he had already
been convicted and he is now to be
tried for the second time for the Cope
land killing.
