Elsewhere on this page we print a
letter from an agent of the National
Committee for Mental Hygiene. who
bears the appropriate title OF Director
Of Special Studies. In which he attempts
TO define the phrase constitutional
psychopathic inferiority." For the sake
Of clarity we have omitted from his
communication the irrelevant matter
contained in the original. With the
best will in the world. We have been
unable to extract from this authorita-
tive Interpretation OF the words any en-
lightenment except n vague notion that
they have been arbitrarily adopted to
describe a condition frequently quite
impossible to recognize by the most care
full examination that can be devised"
We refuse to believe that such abuse
OF the English language. an instrument
wonderfully competent for the exact ex-
preston of thought. Is necessary in the
drafting OF a statute; to us II ds incred-
ible that every undesirable class of
immigrants cannot be adequately de-
scribed in terms readily intelligible by
all educated men; we conceive the immi-
grafton bill TO be no place for meaning
less phraseology; and We repeat once
more that law makers who enact a
measure that even the technically
trained among them cannot compre-
bend Invite the distrust of their intelli-
gent constituents.

The Word "Divan."

The word '.divan" means Council
Of state" in Arabic and Turkish. Both
Milton and Pope use the word i'm the
sense of council in general. From
meaning council the word came to
mean council chamber and from that
the arrangement Of cushions round the
chamber. 4 divan in this sense is
strictly a row of cushions ranged along
the walls of a room, either on the floor
or on a raised step or on a bench.
Hence we speak of a sofa or couch as
a divan and of a thickly cushioned
chair as a divan chair.

For the heating of their houses the
Romans used a form of furnace known
as the hypocaust, which was placed in
a chamber beneath the floor and the
heated air was made to circulate
around the walls and under the floor
by means of hollow tubes or a hollow
lining, and was also by way of pipes
transported to other rooms.
