Psychology Of Practice.

The question Of short versus long
periods Of practice in training the hui
man muscles for any particular kind
Of work is obviously one having far
reaching application. Some interest
ing experiments on this subject have
been carried out by DR.. K s. Lashley
Of Johns Hopkins university. Acquisi-
ton Of skill in archery was selected
as the subject Of observation. Twenty
unframed persons were divided into
three groups. One group shot Eve
arrows with the English longbOw per
day; another, twenty shots per day;
and the third, forty shots. The re-
suits showed conclusively that the
group shooting only FIVE times a day
improved in accuracy with less ex-
penditure Of time in practice than was
required by either Of the other groups
for the same amount Of improvement.
A report on the experiment says:
The relatively greater efficiency Of
short periods Of practice continuing
for many days IL in accordance with
the results Of the study Of animals
and of speech habits in man, and in
dicates that in training to muscular
feats in both animals and men, the
length Of practice periods required is
usually too great for maximum efh-

THINGS WORSE THAN WAR
Roosevelt Says Blood and Iron Policy
Cannot Be combated with MIX
and Water.

Syracuse, N. Y.-Asserting emphat.
ically that a policy Of milk and water
can not effectively combat a policy
of blood and iron, and grimly suggest
ing that there are some things worse
than war, Col. Roosevelt commented
on President Wilson's Philadelphia
speech.
He announced his belief that as a
reprisal for the sinking Of the LUST
tania all commerce with Germany
should be suspended and commerce
Of every kind encouraged with the rest
Of the civilized world
After mulling over the presidents
speech, Col. Roosevelt said:
81 very earnestly hope that he viii
act promptly The $50 babies drowned
on the Lusitania. the hundreds Of
women drowned with them, scores Of
these women being Americans, and
the American ship Gulflight, which
was torpedoed and sunk with It's
American captain and members Of its
crew, offer an eloquent commentary
Of the actual working Of the theory
that force is not necessary to assert
rights and that a policy Of blood and
iron can with efficacy be met by a
policy Of milk and water"

draw all the comfort she can from the
