Mental Concentration
AS an Asset
sy CHARLES F. THwING, LID.

President Western Reserve University,
Cleveland. Ohio.
Mental concentration is a Uniting,
quickening and .vitanzing OF all the
forces of reason devoted to a single end.
II is thinking to point. II is summon
ing knowledge TO aid thinking. demand
ing thinking to enlarge ones reasoning,
requiring reasoning 10 arouse feeling and
commanding feeling to hold the will reso-

ness and Incidence Diffuseness Is the
playfulness OF intellectual youthtfulness.
Incidence is mental Indifference which
may or may not be recreative.
The support of mental concentration
are enthusiasm, interest," desire for
achievement health, strength of will.
Mental concentration needs all natural
buttresses. For the mind, at almost
every stage, likes to wander. II prefers
the picturesque to the logical. the emo

laborious.
The will is, however TO nail the mind

Editorial for Women
"old Wives for New"
By DOROTHY DIX.

Is a woman OF Sc too old to interest
her 55-year-old husband?
A dentist in New York City says that
she is. He has forsalken his wife for a
little peaches-and-cream girl, and he ex-
cuses himself by asserting that his wife
is too old for him. yet they are both
the same age.
or course in cases of Grant fancy one
excuse is about as good as another, and
any old reason goes for a man wander
ing from his own fireside. but, in reality.
the question of whether a middle-ased
woman is older than a middle-aged man
is one purely OF temperament. The rec
ord in the family Bible has nothing to
do with the case, for there are both men
and women who are senile in the cradle.
and children at 20.
1t cannot be denied that the general
Impression prevails that a woman Is
older and less attractive at a given age
than a man is. Perhaps this was true in
the past, when women bore many chill
dren. had few domestic conveniences,
worked like galley slaves in their homes,
and when they had little education and
no outside interest to keep their minds
stimulated. Under such conditions women
faded early and became atrophied both
in soul and body.
But such is not the case in these days
when life has been made soft and easy
for most women. when the care OF theii
persons has become q religion with them
and when the average woman reads more
travels moro and studies more than her
husband does because she has more time
and opportunity.
AS men get along toward middle life
they are apt to slump. They grow care
less about their personal appearance
They hate 10 dress up. They narrow dow
to a few interests and have little con
Germ about any subjects other than thei
business. the stock market and politics
Worse still. in only too many cases, thel
become cyclists who will talk Of nothinl
but themselves.
