"OFFlCE STILL A PUBLIC

(From The st. Louis Post Dis
patchD
What may seem to Washington
too stern and rigid a sense of
duty is expressed by Speaker
Clark in his letter declining an
invitation to address the confer
ence on waterways.
This is not only good doctrine
when a quorum is maintained
with difficulty at Washington,
but is good doctrine at other
times. Officials whose allie
glance is divided between a pub
lie trust and the Chautauqua are
going to be looked on less in
diligently in the future than in
the past.

Mind and Elections
BY EDGAR LUCIEN LARKIN.

n IT AM a Persian by birth
and Of the Aram branch
of that race; brought up
in the faith Of my fathers, and I
would like to have you more
clearly explain your statement:
Nothing exists but electrons.'
Also, How then can mind exist
or Creator unless the Creator is,
or mind is, composed Of cleo

ing in many millions Of distant
suns, can be resolved into primor-
dial basic electrons. Hence | have
repeatedly asserted that nothing
exists but electrons.
And everywhere I also stated
that they were created, and
created by Mind. For in the
very nature Of all things known
to man Mind is the only entity
able to add TO itself-that lis. to
think a thought that had not been
thought before. How this funda-
mental Mind came into being I
do not know; nor do I know how
it created electrons and from
these formed the entire universe
and all It contains.

andBodilyAg
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 will find interestingly dis
cussed in the November number
Of the Cosmopolitan Magazine.
1t will be revolution, If It
comes, which will reform our
whole system of education, and
the children will be the benei-
Charles.
This new term In the science Of
the mind is based upon a recog-
milton OF the fact that 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 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 II 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.
II Is the dawning Of a new day
for the Undetermined" 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 go
dwarfed and feeble that his pa
rents despaired Of raising him.
His was a case in which the men
tai age outpaced the bodily age
at first. In the feeble minded"
child this is reversed, and It Is
the mentality that is backward,
but the right kind Of care should
restore the balance in one case
as well as in the other
IT is the point OF view that
tells. When you come TO look
upon your intellectually back
ward child simply as being men

some DEMOCRATIC AMENI-
TIES"

(From The Denver Republican,
Speaker Champ Clark seems to
have a strange idea of the duties
of a public official. He says he
considers IT wrong for an off,
cial to draw a salary from the
people and then spend a large
share of his time on the lecture
platform. 1t is a question if, in
all his extensive and varied vo-
cabulary, Secretary Bryan can
find words which will express his
contempt for a policy so old
fashioned.

tally younger than his years, you
will treat him according to his
mental and not his physical age.
You will know where and how to
apply the remedy. You will not
break him down with burdens too
heavy for his mind at the stage
Of development at which It has
arrived You viii not do him the
injustice of assuming that he is
essentially inferior to his broth
ers and sisters whose mental and
physical stature have kept better
pace with each other.
You will feel that his mind NAV
be developed and strengthened to
a full maturity, just as Newton's
body was
The article in The Cosmopois-
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
Binet and his associate, NJ. ST.
mon. 1t depends upon a very
simple prtnciple-that of taking
the average mental stature at va
r1ous ages, which may be deter
mined by experiments with A
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
GLIDING the recognition OF colors
the tracing Of outlines. the mem
ory and comprehension Of words.
the time taken to receive fnDres-
sions, the drawing Of plain infer
ences, etc.
But anybody, when once the
idea that there is such a thing a.
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 feeble
hands to grasp the clouds and the
moon, and comprehending moth
ing Of the world around us.
Probably there is not one OF US
whose mental growth has not
either exceeded or fallen behind
the bodily growth, but in the vas,
majority Of cases the difference
mas been too slight to lead to i'm
portant results. But when the
difference becomes great, as when
child Of 10 years has the men
tai stature belonging to the age
OF 3, quick remedy must ha
applied to prevent an entire ar
rest OF the development OF the
mind. That remedy must be sp-
piled through more intelligent and
sympathetic treatment Of the
"feeble-minded" at home, as vel
as through a grading according
to mental instead Of bodily age
in the schools

Turk and Greek in Cyprus.

Keeping the peace between the Greeks and Turks in Cyprus is a task which calls forth a high degree of diplomacy and integrity. Witness the difficult position of police official in Famagusta, who was waited upon by a body of Greeks. asking if they might have d procession the following Tues day. Why do you wish procession ?'' he asked. ITO commemorate the ever distressful taking Of Constantinople by the tnf1del Turks,% was the mourn full reply. Half an hour later Turk ish deputation called upon the same official. Had they the permission of his excellency to fire the cannons the following Tuesday? Why do you, wish to fire the canHons?" he asked. ITO celebrate the ever glorious talk ing of Constantinople by the true be- lievers of the Prophet" they replied. After some considera ton. he gave the required permission to both parties, on their solemn assurance that there would be no infringement of law and order; and it says much for the pres- tige of the British Government that no heads were broken when the rival eelebFetfons took place in due course.
