An effort is being made by w. a. King
a local snake dealer to stage a snake
catching contest, or several IF them, dur
ing the coming Midwinter Fair, and he
promises to furnish sufficient contestants
to make the thing interesting. Insisting
that a certain number of men in this see

snakes as possible, this snake dealer says
that he believes it only right that the
fair association should hang up a few
prizes for this kind of a contest.
He says the snake catchers do not want
expensive prizes, but prizes that will at
least make the contest attractive To them.
His plan is to turn loose a number OF
snakes on 4 platform protected by screen
wire. and allow each contestant his iurn
to catch the entire number. The man
that makes the quickest time gets the
prize.
He ridicules any idea of danger 10

THERE is a mysterious power
in words. Sometimes a mere
phrase has engineered a rev.
olution. It may be so with the
new term, mental age" which
you will find Interestingly dis
cussed in the November number
of the Cosmopolitan Magazine
It will be a revolution, II 1t
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 its
head. A boy or a girl may be IA
years old, reckoning by birthdays,
but only 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 a new definition,
and 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.
It 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
