Psychology Of Practice.

The question OF short versus long

man muscles for any particular kind
Of work il obviously one having far
reaching application. Some interest
Ing experiments on this subject have
been carried out by DIR. X. s. Lashley
OF Johns Hopkins university. Acquisi
ton Of skill In archery was selected
AZ the subject Of observation. Twenty
unframed persons were divided into
three groups. One group shot i've
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 experiments says:
The relatively greater efficiency OF
short periods of practice continuing
for many days is 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 10

President Wilson's Father.

In an address at Washington re.
Gently before the Potomac presbytery
OF the Presbyterian church, President
Wilson spoke of incidents Of his boy
hood when he assisted his father. a
Presbyterian clergyman.
"He had a risky habit OF saying ex-
actly what he thought" said the presi-
dent, "a habit which | in part inherit
ed and of which I have had diligently
to cure myself.
But he was the best instructor.
the most inspiring companion, l ven-
ture to say, a youngster ever had,
and in facing a Southern presbytery
I cannot think of myself as the presi-
dent of the United States-l can only
think of myself as the son of Joseph
X. Wilson, and | only wish could
claim some OF the vital connection
with the church which he could
claim"

Rats az Plaque Transmittcrs.

In view Of the admitted Importance
Of the rat in the transmission OF
plague, the study Of this disease
among rodents has become as neces-
sary from the point of view of pre-
ventive hygiene as Is the management
Of the human cases when they arise.
In a report to the local government
board OF England, on rat plague In
East Anglia during the period from
July to October, 1911, the magnitude
OF a single campaign Is shown. Dur
ing four months 1882 rats were ex.
amined for plague infection. Thirty
five Of the rats were found to be
plague infected. T~wenty-seven premi.
ses were found to harbor %plague-in-
fected rats. The places were all with
in an area previously pronounced to
be infected. The rat destruction,
which has been maintained by local
enterprise for somewhat more than q
year, had. in many localities, appre-
c;ably diminished the rat population.
